Chapter Three CURT REFUSES

CURT glanced at the snaps, two
 of them frll-length: and studied one enlarged bust photo. He had seen the Russian personally on half a dozen occasions. but not close enough to observe him very well.
 He was struck by the intelligence and dynamic power of Karakhan. A man of forty. tall and commanding. he did not look Russian at all: his handsome manly features had noth. ing of the usual Slavic broadness. His dark eyes. staring straight into Curtis. were smiling a faint sar. donic smile Except for a lustful ex. pression about his mouth. he gave TO suggestion of the crime trail that 2 he had tracked across two conti- nents.

on Curt to get Karakhan, but be cause it showed him so clearly that Curt had changed a lot since his Police days. He appeared uncertain of himself. wavering between the careless selfish freedom of his new life and the earnest responsibility of the old.
 In the last few weeks he had been quietly working to secure Curt one of the best positions in the province, a work which would give him scope for his abilities. If he was to see Tennyson established in that posi- tion. il had to be quickly.
 Unknown to Curt. unknown even to Rosaie. death had marked him one year longer. two at the very most, his physician said. Now Curt was turning him down. not only on the Karakhan hunt but on this in. fnitely more important thing.
 He felt very old and defeated Curt had been just as much a son to him as Rosaie. of his own flesh and blood. had been daughter.
 At familiar voice speaking their names. he and Curt looked around. Smash Desplaines was coming into the breakfast room. He was freshly shaved and his red hair was cropped close: but his muddied flying clothes brought naughty looks of disap- proval from the correctly groomed people there. Waving the walters breezily aside. he picked up a third chair and started across to join his partner and Marlin.
 Better not discuss Karakhan be- fore him." Curt said quietly. He's honest as daylight. of course. but he's got an unguarded tongue. We'll talk this over later. AK"
 In their room that evening Smash paused in his whistling to inquire, "You and Rosalie stepping out to- night, Curt?"
 Curt turned from the north win dow. Yes"
 That's the time! Better make 1t high. wide and handsome. and soak up all the socialibility you can while you're back in civilization It's your last chance till snow flies. you know"

SALES TAX IS ! NOW EFFECTIVE,
 BUT NEW FORM
Measure Killed Tn 1852 Practically Comes Out
 in Processing
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-An in- teresting study of changing poli- tical sentiment appears when at tention is turned to one method being employed to finance the re- covery program.
 Less than two years ago Uncle Sam was all worked up over the fact that his budget was badly out of balance. A drive was begun to obtain the necessary funds to get out of the red.
 After long search plan was hit upon and submitted to Con gress. It was to levy 2.25 per cent manufacturers sales tax. Such a tax the Treasury estimated, would yield some 595 millions of dollars in revnue.
 What the House of Representa- tives did to that proposed plan of taxation is remembered yet. Seiz- ing control from their leaders an overwhelming bipartisan for e struck the sales tax from the reve- nue bill, in one of the most spec tacular revolts in history.

 FOB TWO DAYS
Dance Orchestra Will Be in Attendance-Mme.
 Orloff Is to Sing

The annual bazaar of the Church of the Nativity will be held Mo- vember 24 and 25 in the assembly hall of the Parochial school. An orchestra will provide music both nights for the entertainment of visitors and for those who care to dance.
 The usual bazaar features which have proven their popularity in former years will be retained this year and new ones added. Ma dame Orloff, dramatic soprano, who has pleased Juneau audiences with her skillful and soulful rem dition of classical selections, will be heard in several of her favor ite numbers.
 On the last night of the bazaar a turkey dinner, with all the trim mings, will be the main attrac- ten, and in the latter part of the evening distribution of the major awards will take place. The proceeds from the bazaar are for the ordinary parish expenses and to enable the pastor to meet the numerous relief calls of the win ter months.
 The committee in charge of the well filled hope chest have ar ranged to have it displayed in a prominent store window prior to the bazaar.

KEEP IT RIGHT Y IN ONE FAMILY
Brothers Share Honors on
 s4 Three. Southern M Football Squads

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 15.-Taking a cue from the sister" teams of the vaudeville circuits, perhaps, southern football squads are flea turing a number of brother" acts this season, and they are getting the headlines.
 The Wilcox family of Tyler, Texas, has sort of monopoly on the guarding business at Georgia Tech. Dave Wilcox, junior, plays left guard and close beside him at right guard is Brother John, a sophomore, Dave's twin, Leland, also a guard, did not return to school this year and thereby in- trafamily rivalry was averted.
 Not to be outdone, Duke Uni versity has Brothers Jack and E. B. Dunlap playing guard and cen ter. respectively. Years of playing side by side in high school and college have produced near per lection in team work.
 Howard College of Birmingham, Ala, goes a little further with Twin Brother" headliner, the on- ly one known to be playing the southern circuits. Brother Dave Shell plays halfback and his twin, Dan, is an end They are equally accurate with their toes. If 1t doesn't suit Dave to punt, Dan drops back from the line and does the job.

which Curt had not known at all, Karakhan was Don Cossack. born of the lowest muzhik parents. Join ing the army at an early age, he rose by sheer brilliance and became a colonel in the Imperial Guard al twenty y-fiye.
 As an aide to General Sukhom- linov. he had raked in his share of Sukhomlinov's war graft during those times when the Russian armies were struggling pitifully in the Galician swamps. with Luden. dorff's gray hosts in front of them and traitors in the high places be hind.
 "We got that data from the Soviet G.P.U.," AK explained. They want game in Vancouver was to pose as an agent of the Soviet foreign trade commission. With his Russian back ground and all. he put 1t over in easy style. He cleaned up a million that we know of. and his haul must have totaled twice that much: some of those firms won't admit they were defrauded. for fear they'd lose prestige. Last September. on the sixteenth. or seventeenth. he cashed in and vanished like a puff of smoke"
 HURT understood that AK wanted A him to run Karakhan down and arrest him. After so brazeD a crime. the mans clean getaway must have dealt a serious blow to the reputa. tion of the Royal Mounted. And no doubt AK, like all decent-thiDking men. considered that Karakhan's reckoning for the long trail of hu man suffering. death and ruined lives that lay behind him. was due and overdue.
 As he looked out into the sun splashed court, Curt felt challenge in biting himself against this inter national criminal who had outgen- eraled the police of half dozen na tions; and he was proud that the heads of the Mounted should have turned to him. an outsider now when all other recourses had failed. Personally he despised Karakhan with a tinge of bathing: and in fancy he imagined himself mailing

GLORIOUS ERA IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Shining Examples of Human Bravery and Sacrifice That
Marked the winning of the West"

When we think of the great west
ern trails and the march Of the COW
cred wagon our minds naturally turn
TO the feats Of the heroic Whitman,
the tragedy= of@the3 Donners and 9TH
err occasions which called for the
acme Of human bravery and sacrifice.
And yet, Franklin r. Koreli, writing
In the New Republic, reminds us, we
ought not to forget that the real
achievement Of the trail and the set
thing Of the great western empire
were the result not of a few heroic
deeds, but of the steady advance Of
great body Of earnest and deter
mined men and women who were
anxious to find new home In the
wilderness, for II was of such as
these that the great western empire
was built.
The sweep Of emigration to the
western country came In successive
waves. At the beginning of 1S41 the
Oregon country had white popula-
ton Of perhaps 100 men, women and
children, nearly half of whom were
attached to the missions It was In
the same year that the tide OF immi-
grafton really set In and the man to
organize the first real emigrant
party, known as the Western Emit
grafton society. was John BIdwell, an
adventurous New Yorker, whose
name is not unknown In the building
of his adopted state of California.
Early In the year the Bidwell
party, consisting OF SO men, women
and children, organized by electing
John Bartelson captain. The ma
jority OF the party were determined
to go to California, although 1t final

directions. Later accesslons raised
the number of the party to 81.

WHITE, a former missionary to the
region. who early In 1912 was ap-
pointed al Indian agent for the Ore
gon territory by President Tyler.
Like most emfgraHt movements Of
the day the assembly point was near
Independence, Mo-, where the party
organized on May IA. electing White
captain. and james Coats pilot. One
of the leaders was Amos Loyejoy,
who, d few years later, WAS to &C
company Marcus Whitman on his
historic winter ride across the Rock
les In successful effort to save the
Oregon country for the Stars and
Stripes. The party consisted of sev-
erai covered wagons and lot persons.
The first large emigration came In
1913 and for this reason the period
Is called the year of the great MI
grafton. 1t was inspired by Whit
mans efforts In the East. There
were over 200 families. 10 wagons
and big supply Of live stock. Eff
forts OF the Hudson's bay officers at
Fort Hall to turn back the emigrants
proved unaFailing, because OF Whit
mans encouragement. and they final
ly arrived In Oregon.
In the succeeding five years, train
after train of emIgrants SET out for the
western country. some to California,
but most during this period to Ore
gon. Four trains, one including 800
persons, went In 1874. And In 1915,
the number increased, more than
5000 persons covering the Oregon
trail. while much smaller number
went to California. Emigration to
the following territory picked up
somewhat, however, In 1886. Then
came 1877, with an even greater
boom, nearly 5000 going to Oregon,
and the Mormons covering much OF
the same route on their way to Utah.
The Mormon movement continued In
1848, but with this year, the first
phase of emigration closed. The
new Pacific era was commencing.
