LOOKING UP
fpWO HUNDRED yards from the
-1 cove Curt shouted ahead at
Smasb: "Start the engine! 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

out behind It, and within a thousand
feet the whoit mass was wrapped
In fierce flames
But Paul and Sonya scarcely saw
It Their horrified eyes were on
Curt's broken plane as It twirled
downward at a fer ine speed, lta
propeller gone. 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.
