Revr It up for mel" For once Smash came through. While Curt was reaching the cove. Smash cut the mooring ropes, clam bered Into the cabin, cranked the engine and pushed up the throttle. and had the motor settled Into a steady powerful rhythm. "Jump out!" Curt ordered him, plashing to a pontoon and clamber log up. "I've got to go after him alone." Smash Jumped Into the hip-deep water, but turned, looked up. "Curt I What're you going to do, man? What the devil 1" He was suddenly bowled over, deluged and half drowned In a blind ing smother of spume and chopped- up water, as Curt opened the motor to Its thundering roar and plowed out of the cove to the open lake. For several minutes after Curt had left the cave mouth, Paul stayed there to watch. But he saw noth ing, and decided that he was needed elsewhere. Before leaving, he called In Slkan- al to the men Inside the cave "Things of Infamy, you will come out when we say come outl If you axe peaceful, you will see the sun nine again. It not, you can stay there till this mountain wears wayl" Be started down the alope to the cabin. On bla way past the gully, be stopped at a pool of water and washed the blood from his face. From the door of the cabin he law Sonya lying bound and gagged on the bunk. She turned her head, aw him and tried to rise, but Kara- khan had bound her too securely. Paul ran across to her. As he bent over her and she looked up at him, the expression In her eyes was a thing be could never afterward for- get When he cut her loose she sprang np and hugged blm, sobbing: "Paul! Paul! Oh, I knew I heard the shoot ing 1 knew you had come! Where's Curtt Is be Is he safe?" In few words Paul explained. Tenn-Og brought us north, we flew In last night, we've Just whipped the Kloaohees. Those planes, bear them" the two ships out on the lake were Jarring the cabin with their full-gunned roar "that's Curt going after Karakhan." Let's gol" They ran out of the cabin to the opgu landwash. Heavy with gas, Karakhan's plane had got off the water and climbed to a thousand feat, and was circling for altitude to clear the ranges. Curt was Just Jumping his ship Into the air as they came out. Lighter and swifter than the other plane, It climbed In a steep thunder ing spiral, cutting down Karakhan's lead so rapidly that In four minutes It was up level with the Speedalr. In bewildered awe Paul and Sonya stood on the shore, faces upturned. "What's Curt going to do, Paul?" Sonya cried. Paul shook his head, utterly non plussed. His partner had gas tor only a tew miles and could not fol low; he had no gun except an auto matic, and could not fight. Hla maneuvers were utterly mystifying. He was not even trying to close up, while be might have got In a lucky shot with the pocket gun; Instead be was deliberately keeping at a dis tance from Karakhan. AT FOUR THOUSAND feet Kara khan leveled off and swung due outb. Curt was behind him at that moment, and about five hundred feet above. As the Speedalr swung, Cart's ship nosed down and headed for the other plane, straight as a fluted arrow. He hurtled on and on, aiming hla craft like a huge projectile at Kara khan's plane. The Inierval shrank two hundred feet, a hundred, fifty. Still he did Dot turn " norve an Inch. Sonya screamr He was going to He was lOrashlngl With an explosive smasb that came to them distinctly, the Fair child plowed Into the other ship, breaking the Speedalr's fuselage In two and tearing off both wings. Careening on beyond the Speedalr, Cart's plane turned over twice, with Its own pontoons and one ot Its wings gone; and juried a crasy lurching spin to the lake below. Karakhan's ship, a tangle il fabric and metal, came plummeting straight down. A few seconds after the crash a puff of smoke streamed KMED Broadcast Schedule sunrtny A.

Its engine roar changed to a high-pitched scream. At two thousand feet a small manikin object detached Itself from the falling wreckage. For five or six seconds It cams down and down, turning slowly, head over feet, till the demolished plane was a hundred yards below It and well to one aide. Against the blue of the sky a tiny bit ot white flashed. A moment later a long streamer ot white shot out While the two wrecked craft were plummeting on down, to bit the lake with a tremendous splash and sink out of sight, the streamer caught the air, flared out and burst Into a white sky-flower. "Oh-ool" broke from both ot them a cry of unwordable thankfulness, releasing all their spellbound fears ot those last terrible minutes. Even then they could not fully realize that Curl bad saved himself. It came home to them only by degrees, as they watched the packchut stop swinging and drift li their direction. It was Sonya who first saw Curt tugging at the guide lines and under stood tbe danger he was fighting against. "Paul! Oet a canoe! He'll come down In the lake! We're got to get out to him!" Paul sprang back the path to a canoe near the cabin. By the time he got It to water, be saw that the craft would not be needed; tbe wind was carrying the 'chute south against the mountain slope. Four hundred feet high It passed over their heads, and Curt looked down and waved assurance to them. Fall ing slowly, be brushed low over a clump of spruces and lodged In a tall pine Just above th: little knoll. Paul hurried np to help his part ner, but Sonya couli" not more. When she saw that Curt had landed and waa sate, she sank down on tha canoe, faint and trembling. A wing of Karakhan's plane waa bobbing In toward shore, but the ship Itself had disappeared, and Karakhan with It down In the Icy depths of tbe lake. As her eyee followed that piece of bobbing wreckage, she strove to realize that he was dead, dead tha man who had cruellr sent her father and Carl to their Innocent deaths. Her long bunt was ended. AT RUSSIAN LAKH old John came walking Into the flreglow of Curt'a camp, where Curt sat talk ing with Superintendent Marlln who had flown up from Vancouver that afternoon. "I'm bavin' a leetle glt-together orer at my tent dreckly. like we bad that time afore, Curt; an' I flggered you men 'ud like to J'tn us. Paul an' Tenn-Og an' aome more air there a'ready, an' the others all aald they're comln'." "Thanks, John, well be over," Curt accepted. "Our trip really started there at your Are, and It ought to end there." When old Paxton had gone, Mar lln handed Curt another newspaper. "Here's the Times-Tribune. Read this." The streaming headline: KARAKHAN TAKEN BY FORMER MOUNTY brought Curt a glow o! hard-earned pride; but he was more gratified bj the subhead, with Its emphasis 01 Karakhan's money: Embezzler ot Huge Sums Killed In Resisting Arrest The Karakhan hunt had oost htm a heavy p r I e a personally hli maimed hand, hla brushes wlti death, the suffering It had dragged him through, and the destruction 01 the plane he had bought with thi savings of several long years. Ai pay for all that he waa to receln less than two hundred dollars. But the hunt bad rralned him cer tain priceless things, not to be mesa ured In money. He aad A-K wen back on the old f otlng again; hi had found himself after a year of groping around, and he had found Sonya. He laid the paper and stack of others Inside the tent "I supposr we'd bett-r start over to old John's 'sociable.' A-K. You'll be the gueal of honor there tonight, and they're probably walling. Marlln did not get np. In a moody silence he looked out upon the twllll lake, drumming absently on the chopping b'-ck. fCopyrtaar. Trillium .
