Chapter 9
NALSE had remained where he
was for while. staring at the
empty horizon where Saralee had
vanished. Slow resolution was
forming in him. Emotion was
drained out Of him now. Well,
he'd made a threat to Arn1in
Zachary. To kill him. The man
had richly deserved that fate for
long years, and it was chore no
longer to be put off. It had to be
done before he could marry Sara
lee.
Heavily, Valse swung back into
the saddle again. This time he
rode slowly. His horse cooked its
head, snorting. Alert now, Valse
looked about; and for a moment
he could see nothing. Then he
saw man, off some distance,
watching him from the shadow Of
a big pine.
An Indian, Valse decided. This
was their old hunting grounds,
and some still came here. Proba-
bly, this fellow was lurking with
the notion of killing COW.
The blast of the rife took him
completely by surprise. His first
sensation was the convulsive jerk
of his horse. Now it was jumping
clear off the trail, which had a
sheer drop, as Valse saw in that
instant, of at least a hundred feet,
down below.
Startled as he was, Valse acted,
partly by training, partly from in
stinct. At the first convulsive
shudder of the stricken animal
he kicked his feet free of the
stirrups, and a thought rocketed
through his mind: That 1cds no
Indian!
Then, as the horse began the
downward plunge, he grabbed
wildly, and his hands closed on
brush which grew there, out from
the broken face of the rocky
ledge.
Luck was with him now, the
luck to be able to get hold, luck
that there should be brush here
when there was none on down
below. He hung on, not moving,
and looked around.
Down below. where his feet
we're, was only emptiness - a
blank wall for another ninety

Marsh obeyed without -hesita-
ton. He was too shocked at finding
his supposed victim alive and
with a gun on him to think or
resisting.
On his feet, Valse crossed %
Marsh and searched him swiftly.
finding. Q. revolver and taking u.
The rife was in a ddle-shedfl,
he observed Marsh was watching
him now, backing away clumsiiy
from the edge of the LEDGE but
not yet getting to his feet.
Valse had recognized him az
once. This was one of the two
men who had testified to seeing
him dead in battle, years before.
to helping to bury him. Since
they worked for Armin Zachary,
the whole thing was clear enough.
Get up" Valse ordered, and
watched him scramble to his feet.
Where's your partner?" he asked
roughly.
4 came aIone,p Marsh pro-
tested. I'VE drew for it"
A new look of fright came into
his face as he realized what he
had admitted, and he clamped his
jaws hard. But Valse was not sur
prised. He studied his captive Gu
riOuSly.
Zachary hired the pair Of you
to get me, a long time ago, didn't
he?" he deduced. And you told
him that you had, and got your
pay, so now he has you in a !.
crotched stick" - :.
He could see the fresh fright in
Marsh's popping eyes. q
Then, abruptly, Valse nodded.
I know you now" he added,
You didn't have those whiskers
in the army, and / never paid
much attention to you, but do
remember seeing you. So that
part of your story is true enough;
you were there. And Zachary did
hire both of you to find me and
kill me, didn't he?" ~
Marsh's face had gone a little
stubborn. Otherwise he made no
sign, no reply.
Surprisingly enough, Vaise
smiled a little. 1t was more fright
ening than if he had scowled or
uttered threats.
Don't you think" Valse, asked.
gently, shat you'd be showing a
lot better sense to TALK"

CHRISTMAS SEAL
 STORY HAS HUMAN
 INTEREST IN II

I The following human interest story has been sent the Alaska Tu- Lerculosis Association by pr. Fred 6rick Coddington, thoracic surgeon at Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center as an illustration of the sort O. work that is being done in the fielc of tuberculosis control at that in- stitution
 Charles Aklook is 38 years old He was born in a small igloo al Point Barrow. His father herdeo ieindeer, trapped foxes and vol verines, and hunted seal, polal bear walrus, caribou and noun tain sheep with low and arrow tc feed and clothe a family of si, children. When Charles was a boy there was no school, but he learned to carve the ivory from walrus tusks, to hunt with rifle and shot gun, and to catch trout, ling, smelt and founders. Sometimes he helpe, to kill whales. When he grew olde he drove his dog team several hun dled miles east along the Arcti, Coast where hunting was easier. bu' he returned to Point Barrow everJ summer to sell his furs.
 SEES FIRST AIRPLANE
 Tn 1943 Charles took his wift and two children by dog sled uL the Colville River and over the Brooks Range to the town of Wise. man where he saw an airplane fol the first time. He was flown to Fairbanks where he began working for the Alaska Railroad. In 1945 hi swear old son died of tuberculosis. The doctors took repeated X-rays of Charles chest and since there were no hospital beds available ad- v,sed him to stay home and rest.
 Tn 1946 Charles was sent to Seward where he entered the Sani- torium. He rested in led for c year and was given the pneumo- thorax treatment, but the scar tissue around the cavity in his lung held il open and kept his disease smol- dering. In 1947 he was transferred to the Alice Island Sanitorium at Nit. Edgecumbe. Air was injected into his abdominal cavity to push upward on his diaphragm and relax the diseased lung tissue above, but this produced no improvement in lis condition.
 TO REMOVE RIB
 Charles has always been very cooperative patient, always resting flat in bed for 24 hours a day. His disease shows no tendency to get worse, and he appears well and feels well except for his cough His doctors are planning to remove the ribs over his diseased lung to let it collapse. The cavity will then be flattened and sealed shut soa.that no more infectious material will be coughed up and the surrounding areas of disease will become walled off with scar tissue. In time, Charles will return to his family.
 WAITING FOR BED
 Recent tuberculosis surveys show that there are hundreds of cases like Charles throughout Alaska waiting for bed in some hospital or sanatorium, waiting for special treatment that will help their lungs to heal, waiting for their only chance to re restored to their homes and society"
