1 SYNOPSIS
I Seeing to escape mysterious
; pursuers, Colin Rae, of the Hen-
j drik’s Bay Company, takes refuge
! in the hotel room of an attractive
young wqman in Winnipeg, Can-
ada. He denies he is a q|i ftinal,
; and promises to get he < plane

' they have rmutual friend, Rodney.
Selkirk. She conceals Colin, brave,
ly barring the self-styled “police”
from her room. Through a window,
they observe a small, bespectacled
man standing across the street.
“Once I heat'd him called the most
dangerous man in Canada,” says
Colin, as they prepare to leave die
t hotel hurriedly.
CHAPTER TWO ^
1 Careful.to keep away from the
, window, Rae moved restlessly about
the room. Getting out of the hotel
would be his next job; he remem-
| be red the back stain to the alley
And wondered if the hedge would
give him shelter as far as the street.
He’d have to chance ifc
Pulling but a shortVack pipe, he
looked at it, longing Id smoke. But
you could tell pipe tobacco; and,
walking toward the inner door, he
called, “Have you any cigarettes?”
“There’s a carton in my bag,” a
muffled voice answered. “Take a
pack.”
The moist warmth «f hot'Water
and the smell of scented soap hung
in the air. Well, she’d better fcnjoy
it now: it would be.s different tale
in Learmonth. He only knew she
was a friend of Rodney Selkirk’s,
, and she was broke. But whoever she
j was, she had courage.
I *■ Not one woman in ton thousand
would see him standing In the door
of her room and ask calmly, “What
i do you want?”
; ^ She was fully dressed when she
! opened the door, and that thick,
varicolored hair of hers lay heavy
about her shoulders. Going to the
bureau, she began brushing it, quite
.oblivious df his presence; then care-
fully she rouged her lips. A confi-
dent, young face, he thought, but
in repose the eyes and mouth held
a shadow of—not sadness, exactly,
but neither were they gay.
“Now.” She picked up a ridicu-
! lously small felt hat and pulled it
down over her hair. “Y^hat are the
•ailing orders, Mr. Rae?”
1 “First, you’d better tell me your
' name.”
“Irina Meredith.” W"*
“Irina. That’s Russian, isn’t it?”
“Not in my case. I wa§ born in
New York."
! . Rising, Colin reached for his hat.
' “You better pack, and in exactly
twenty minutes call a taxi. Don’t
direct him to the airport. Tell him
1 to drive down Broadway and stop
at Donald Street. I’ll be waiting
; back among the trees.”
“Haven’t you any luggage?”
i “It’s at the station, and I’m leav-
ing it there. They’ll be watching
every train. If I don’t show up at
the taxi, don’t wait.” He laid a roll
of bills on the dresser. “These will
“He was close beside me when I
paid my bill. You know, I think he
has the kindest eyes of anyone I
ever saw. They’re soft.”
“You should have looked at his
hands,” Rae answered. “They’re not
like any woman’s.” He glanced back.
No other car in all the long length
of the street.
Leaving the city behind, they
drove north between fields of yellow
frosted corn, and as they left the
main highway she asked, “How did
you know we could charter a
plane?”
“Blair Benedict wrote me she
was taking her plane up to Lear-
month today or tomorrow for the
last trip before freeze-up. The regu-
lar air line shuts down as soon as
ice begins forming, but she’s flying
her to swim and drive a dog team.

er. And sow—in those two years of

and n licensed pilot.
Irina beside him, he moved out on
the wharf, the wind singing in their
ears, until, elose by the plane, he
called, “Do you ran that all by your-
self, lady?” i
The tall girl turned. For one as-';
tonished second she gazed down at
him, then with a squeal of glad sur-
prise jumped from the wing and
threw both anas around him.
“Colin I Colin, you darling? X
never thought—you didn’t— Oh,
I’m so glad!” * * ,
He did not speak. Stooping, he
kissed her.

sees since I left. You’re worth
coming a million miles for.”
With a happy, tremulous laugh,
she moved back; then she saw the
woman beside him.
“Blair, this is Miss Meredith,”
he said. “She’s the passenger you’re
taking to Learmonth.”
The two women smiled, and in
that second it seemed to Colin that
Blair’s eyes had gone wayy. Quick-
ly she turned to him- “But you’re
going, too?” I
“The sooner the better. Can you
land at Learmonth this time of
year?”
“Che channel’s still fairly free
of ice. But there’s always a chance
of cracking a pontoon.”
“Oh, I’m expecting you to. wreck
us.” Jle picked up Irina’s bags.
“Nothing as lovely as you are could
be a safe pilot.” • ,
Laughing, she stepped up on the
wing. “In ten minutes, prepare for
the worst.”
It was none too roomy inside the
little plane once the door waa closed;
and, taxiing slowly out, Blair tested
the two magnetos, then, turning
into the wind, opened thq^throttle.
The roar of the motor deepened, the
tail rose until the pontoons were
scarcely touching the water; ever
so slightly Blair pulled back on the
wheel, and they were in the air.
Conscious of a vast relief, Rae'
looked back for tbe last time; he
was on his way!
Whatever the future might bring,
he was on his way to Learmonth.
Back there, lost in haze and dis-
tance, the city lay, and somewhere
back there waa Jonathan Dove.

“Do you have many women pilot#
in Canada?”
“Some. We’ll have more before
the war is over. The army is taking
a good many of our men pilots.
Blair Benedict has a contract to fly
the mail between here an4 Lear-
month.”
“Does she know you’re coming?”
“Nobody knows. I don’t want any-
body to know—especially Dove.”
“Dove?”
“Our little friend with the derby
and the soft eyes you admired #o.”
“But who is he?”
“He’s head of two Indian schools:
one in Learmonth, the other in Wol-
verine.”
“What kind of schools?”
Colin’s eyes raised to hers.
“That’s one of the things I want to
find out.” Through the mirror he
saw the driver watching them, and
he settled back in his seat—just as
well not to talk.
The airport was almost deserted.
Thin ice had begun fringing the
lake, and two planes were moored
to the wharf : a large Canadian Air-
ways Junker, and a small cabin
plane, very new and glistening.
Paying the driver, Colin walked
down the bank to the smaller plane,
where a tall girl in flying clothes
was tightening spark plugs in the
motor.
With a thrill of pleasure he
watched her. She had changed. She
wasn’t a kid any more—she was tall
and lithe as a willow reed. The cold
November wind kept blowing her
crisp black hair, and she flung it
back with a well-remembered ges-
ture. Hard to believe she could ever
grow up or change. He had taught
