THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1935 THE WAYNES VI LLE MOUNTAINEER 77a THE STORY CHAPTER I. As Alan Garth, pros pector, is preparing to leave for his mining claim in the Far North, a plane lands at the airways emergency sta tion. In it a.e Burton Ramill, million aire mining- magnate, his daughter. Lil ith, and Vivian Huxby. pilot and min ing engineer. Believing him to be only an Ignorant prospector, the men offer to make an air trip to Garth's claim, al though they refer to the platinum-bear-ing ore as nearly "worthless." Llllth Karalll, product of the Jasi age, plainly shows her contempt for Garth. CHAPTER II. Through Garth's guid. ance the plane soon reaches the claim site. Huxby and Ramill, after making several tests, assure Garth his claim is nearly valueless, but to "encourage" young prospectors they are willing to take a chance In Investing a small amount. Sensing the treachery that lies ahead Gartli secretly visits the plane and removes a small part from the motor. Belilnil the backs of the three, Gartli stepped clMr from the alders and came forward, silent as i stalking lynx. Midway between the head of (he plane and the spruce to which It was tied, he stopped and lowered his ritle, butt down, to lean on the muzzle. "Hullo," he sans out. "What's hap pened? Mr. .Ramill ill?" At the first word, Huxby tensed and slaneed over his shoulder. He let so of Raniill. Alter a moment, he jerked around and thrust out his 'automatic pistol towards Garth. "Swing, up that ritle, butt end for ward," he ordered. "Why, what d'yon . mean?" Oartli 'luestloned, his mouth half agape. "I mean business," Huxby answered. "Hold up the butt up above your head; then eonie forward and lay the rifle on the wing." Garth rounded his mouth still more. "My word, man, you must be stark mad. I've no thought of shooting you." "I'm taking no chances. Put that i "Oon't Shoot!" rifle on the wing, or I'll fill you full of lead." .....' "Mad mad a3 a March hare," mut tered Garth. "Don't shoot." He lifted the rifle overhead, butt forward, as ordered, and advanced, still gaping. He came within a step of the wing edge and paused. The girl was gazing at him with open contempt. He had been such an easy dupe. Her father looked grave, yet made no move to interpose when Huxby leveled th.j pistol and took deliberate aim. CHAPTER III OutbluSed. A man of iron nerve might have risked death from tiie leveled auto matic of the mining engineer by tak ing a sudden dive under the wing of the monoplane. Once la cover, anyone quick with a rifle would hare had an even chance against the holder of tte pistol. Garth made no such daring break. He obeyed the order to lay his rifle on the wing top. "There you are," ke said. "That should clear your head of your crazy notion I'm dangerous." Huxby met this with a cold smile. "You're right In part, you poor fish, it would be crazy to fancy you're at all dangerous. I'm the ope who has tQe gun, and I'm ready to use It. For tunately for you, there's no need to shoot you if you keep on doing as you're told, Back up now and cast oft that line." . Three steps .away from the wing, Garth halted to protest: "Mr. Ramill, surely yo;ll not abandon me this way not even let me keep my rifle. That ' what 13 called the long travois. I'll starve before I can reach the Mac kenzie." Jliss Uamill smiled mockingly. "Oh, Di woodsy. You can throw stones. A JSJyJJia it1 y-. w All you need do is stay right here ami eat your fellow rabbits. As soon as we record our claim?, we'll ccnie bac'; to replace your slakes with our own." "Tes," her father agreed. "No dun ;er of an experienced prospector like you starving, thi time of year. Wait here Tor us, and I'll pay you that two thousand dollars I offered." I Huxby signed with bis pistol. "There's your answer, boob. Now stop lively, fast off that line." Before the threatening muzzle. Garth turned about and walked along the ledge to the tie tree. He passe.1 the rope end through the tree loop, and pulled loose the bite of Hie sta. hitch. Had he then lei go of the rope end, the taut line would have whipped the loop around the spruce trunk and set the monoplane adrift. Instead, lie held fast. Huxby downed ami raise'! the pistol. "What are you waiting for? I told yon to cast oil'. U s no use your whining. You don't suppose we'll pass up the chance to record lli:n placer, do you?" "'o." Gartli replied. " ou've !i.mii j our colors hoisted tin- black tta u. Only thing, a woman is -i .woman. me siigge-d that yon try your sol!' starter before I let go this iinc. 'vt heard that airplanes sometime balk. If you can't get yours Into the air in time, the wind and current will drift 'you down-lake .to lho.se falls." "How sad ! Voi'i dumb dupe, if you Hunk I" "Wail," cut In Mr. Itamill. "Hani me your pistol, Vivian.- and try the motor. The fellow gave up his rifle' a bit too readily." Though far from pleased, lluxh.v passed over the automatic.. Mr. it.uuill had recovered f.om his exhaustion, and the way he handled the pistol showed that he knew how to use it. Huxby swung Into the cockpit and threw1 on the self-starter. It buzzed but the propeller did not turn over. The motor failed lo go. Another try brought the same barren result. The engineer pilot made a hasty examina tion of the magneto. He sprang out on the wing, In a cold fury. "The Ud sneak has crippled the motor. Give me the pistol." Mr, Ramill held up a restraining hand. "One moment, Vivian. Now, Garth, what have you done?" Garth smiled. "Merely removed one of the breaker points, Mr. Ramill. It's platinum, you know, and that's what we're bargaining over. The point is quite safe here, inside my shirt." "Shoot him," said Huxby. "We're not going to be done by a fool trick like this. Shoot the Idiot. Go on, chief. He's only a lousy woods bum. It's a matter of a million at the least," The older man leveled the pistol. "Garth, you heard him. You've played a silly trick. We have the drop on you. If you value your life, bring that stolen breaker point here, and be quick about It," "How about the line, sir?" Garth In quired, "If I let go, the plane will be swept out Into the lake." "Tie it again." "What If I'd rather not?" For the second time Miss Ramill chimed in on the talk: "It would be just too bad for you, woodsy boy. Dad Is a better shot even than Vivian." ' "A better shot and a no less cool thinker," Garth replied. "How can I hold this rope if I'm shot? Those falls and the rapids below Hold on there, Huxby ! Not so fast. You can come ashore; but Miss RaiiiiU and her father will come with you. There'll be no rush to catch the line until all three of you are off the wing." Mr. Ramill started with Huxby out along the wing. His daughter, did no: move.; .-' "If you fancy I'll leave the plane, you can guess again.",.-' Her father spoke In her ear. None too graciously, she took the offered arm f her fiance. Side by side, the three came out to the end of the wing. Mr. Ramill handed the pistol to Hux by, and knelt, ready to slide over the front edge. The girl jumped down lightly, without waiting for assistance. Huxby handed her the rifle, laid the pistol on the wing edge, and grasped Mr. RamiU's hands. As the portly millionaire slid over, oft the wing. Garth let go of the rope' end and sprang forward. The loop whipped from around the spruce trunk. He grasped the slackened line and flipped It out into the swift rush of the milky stream. The head of the releised plane at once started to swing offshore. Hux by grabbed his pistol and leaped down to grasp the wing edge. He shouted for the others to catch hold. But the unexpected bump of the edge against their heads had made both father and daughter crouch down. Huxby stepped back to brace himself for a shove against the rotary out thrust of the wing. His rear foot went over the found of the water-polished ledge. The wing thrust him on outwards. Before he could let go, both of his feet were off the ledge top. He slid down with a splash into the swirling water. , The engineer plunged upstream three of four steps to a split la the glassy-faced ledge. He clawed up the crevice and, sprang to his feet on the rock shelf, drenched to the armpits by the milky water. But his right hand still grasped his automatic pistol. Once more Garth seemed to have acted the part of a fool. Tor a few moments Miss Ramill and her father had crouched motionless, dumfounded by the letting loose of the monoplane and Its shove of Huxby off the ledge. Garth stood like an unconcerned on looker. While the engineer was still struggling up out of the str?am bed, Mr. Ramill took the rifle from his daughter and aimed it at Garth. "Take your time, Vivian," he called, "I have him covered." "flu-wait," panted Huxby. "Leave I him to me." lie stood dripping till he caught his breath. A flirt of the pistol barrel made sure It was free from water. He took a step closer to Garth, his eyes cold, his lips tightened in a bitter smile. "Another clever trick, Jack and your last. I'll be ganerous and give you half a minute for your prayers." Cartb e.-ed him gravely. "Xhat is indeed generous. Shall 1 reciprocate by praying that you and Miss Ramill do not suffer too long from the tor tures of flies aud .starvation-? Mr. Ramill may possibly be able to get over tlie pass, though I doubt It. lo uny event, the first muskeg will stop him. You and Miss Iiamill probably will last for two or three weeks longer." Huxby glared. "Voir tricky devil I Clever, aren't you: Here is where you last less ihan ,1 minute." "Yes?" Garth snrtled. - might sug gest lo .Mr. Iiamill thai he relied upon the inadvisaliiliiy of murder in aua ia. i ue ,orllnves I'olice alwavs .s't their ni'in. If he is miaw;iv of the i : fact; I . .mi;.; lit appeal to lae ...unanh gentletie.x of Jliss Ramill.' "Go ahead." Ilub sneered. "You're I welcome lo Irv." "Why .bother lliem needlessly V Garth came back at him, '-My dear man, you nn no rash fool. Had yon been other than what you are, do you suppose 1 would- have, walked un so' In nocently and let you gel I be drop on me': ' , The coolness of lone :n,d look that went with Die question compelled liux by's consideration. His eyes :. nar rowed. "Out with it." "You see 1 have you sized up right, ' Gartli replied. "You're hell her m hot head nor a fool. All your moves; are based upon cold blooded calculation, fn this case, you'll calculate these fac tors: If you kill me, you will most certainly starve to death, unless you first sink in the slime of muskeg bog. The only other 'alternative Is for you to stay here and freeze at the first on set of winter. Platinum is of no more use to a dead man than Is gold." The mining engineer stood silent. Garth went on : "We are speaking of what concerns you most. So I'll not mention the uo less certain death of your partner and the lady to whom you are engaged, The other side of my argument Is that, if I am not murdered,. I can guide you back to the Mackenzie. What If you Ihen had another chance to steal my claim? Wouldn't-'that be a big In ducement ?" "Lower your pistol; Vivian," Ramill ordered. "Garth has us outplayed. lie holds the aces. Look at the plane. Ifs heading straight dow n the lake towards the falls. There's no chance for It, unless the wind veers." Garth nodded. "This breeze will keep on blowing down off the glacier until the first autumn blizzard. It's a shame, sir, to crack up so line a plane. But von would have it." - :. "You and liux by. You may be a financial pirate, Mr. Ramill ; that's not .saying you're a hypocrite. You'll not lie that I'm responsible for this mess. I gave you a chance to share my claim. In return, you've done your best to bilk me out of it all. This is the result." ' The big -"pirate" looked, him In the e.ve. ', "I offered you cash down. You re fused. Sftld you wanted to play out the game. So far, you've taken most of -'(he tricks. That monoplane cost me torty thousand dollars. You see It heading for a total loss. Let it go. The question now is the next play Vivian, what do you suggest?" , Huxby regretfully eyed his pistol. "It's a damnable fact we can't kill the slick devil. Weil tie his hands, and start him guiding us out of this hell hole at once." Garth smiled. "What! still tip in the air? Better come down to earth and face the other facts also. For the same reason you can't kill me, you can't make me guide yon. I knew exactly what I was doing when I turned the plane adrift. I knew I was putting you all In a hole out of which none of you can hope to escape with out my help. If I die, every one of you will die. I've faced death many times. I am not afraid to meet It. None of you dare chance starvation or freezing. I do not need you, but you must have my. help, or: perish. - Though you now have the guns, I aim master of the situation. All three of you will do whatever I consider necessary to get you out alive.". "When do we start?" Huxby de manded to know. Garth looked at Mr. Ramill. "It's a guess. May be two weeks. More prob ably three." Miss Ramill flared, outraged. "What ! Hang around this disgusting hole a single day? Weil start this instant." "Bon voyage 1" said Garth. "You may reach the top of the glacier with the soles still on your golf-course boots. Your father, I fancy, will pre fer to wait here a while. For one thing, he knows that in his present condition, he never could climb the pass. In the second place, he h.is no desire to go down the other side on his uppers." Huxby looked from Mr. RamiU's flimsy oxfords to be girl's fashionable sport boots, and toeu at Garth's worn moccasins. "Well, Jack, what's the answer?" "That It's not well." Garth replied. "In the first (dace, you'll drop that name and tone in speaking to nie. Am I understood?" Huxby stood silent, iiU eyes cold and lips tight drawn. But Mr. Ramill spoke for him, with decisiveness: "That Is understood, Garth. We are all now in the same boat, and you ore skipper. How about the shoe prob lem?" "Jloosehide. Well first shift along shore to the mouth of the .placer rill. It's the best place to camp. I'll then go on around to the muskeg and col lect some hides." "Dou't be too sure of that," Huxby differed. "Keep bold of the rifle, chief. He'd streak out and leave us to hold the sack." "Haven't you realized yet that the joke is on you?" Garth Inquired. "Ifs a question of trusting nie absolulely, or hoc at all. Take your choice." Mr. Ramill handed over the rifle. Huxby's hand tightened on the butt of his lowered pistol. .Garth gazed past-him dowu the lake. "The plane seems lo be edging over towards the east shore. There's a ford up here. Huxby. You're welcome to try for the plane. If you save her, I'll call It a break of the game in your favor, and we'll all ride out on Hie air." "Lay off. Vivian," Mi. Iiamill inter posed. "The plane has veered out again. He has in nipped fast." Without any reply, Huxby llinist his pistol inside bis leather Jacket and started up the stream hank. Garth came aslant to his pack, lie slung it on bis back. "Come on. Let's head for camp." "Why not follow Vivian?" Mr. l!a mill inquired. "It is still possible the phi no may drift ashore.'' "A - hundred to one chance it will not, sir. -We'll go out on ihoosohide. If at all, I've decided not lo make it alone. A I rip through the '. muskeg may lead you lo realize thai even lone woodsy prospectors should lie entitled to 1 ho f I'll its of Iheir discoveries.''
