THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE By T.C. Bridges VALLEY OF NO ECHO CHAPTER XXXII "They've Got Grace!" ~"You saw the plane," Keith said. Colin frowned. "I did." "Do you know where it came from?" "The Bowl, most likely." "So you've heard of that gang?" "I have. I was hoping they had not heard of me." "They're not after you. I am the one they want." "So you've been sent to hunt down Wing and Co." "I have. It's a long story, Colin, and there's no time to tell it now. We have to find Grace." "You are right" Colin turned. "Chan!" he called. { A man came in. He had a yellow skin, high cheekbones and slanting eyes. But he was by no means the ordinary type of Chinese. There was something keen and fierce about him, He looked like a hunter. "This is my cousin, Mr. Keith Marlow," Colin said. "A police of- ficer, as you see. He has been sent me for days. I've never forgotten it," he added, "and I have been only too glad of the chance to pay some= thing of the debt I owe him." "But you had your job as warden," Keith argued. chuck it?" "I was sick of it," Colin said frankly, "My chief and I never got on. All my suggestions were turned down and I was on the point of handing in my resignation. When I recovered and saw in a newspaper that I was supposed to be dead I seized the chance of disappearing." "Do you think that was fair to your father?" Keith asked bluntly. "Why not?" Colin's voice was sud- denly harsh, "My father never car- ed that for me." He snapped his fingers. "He knew I hated his busi~ ness yet tried to force me into it. When I refused he cut me off with= out a penny. If I had not had the few hundreds my mother left me I might have starved. Do you think I owé him anything?" Before Keith could answer, Chan, who had been a little ahead, turn- to hunt down a dope gang. He tells | ed. me that Miss Arden came over the lake in her canoe early this morn- ing. She is not in the house. We must find her." Chan gave Keith a quick sharp glance. : "She went to look for us. master," he said in perfect English. "I saw her footprints coming into the gate and Jeaving again® Colin looked relieved. "Then she will be here soon." "Why didn't she meet you on your way back?" Keith asked. "She must have followed your trail." "The woods are thick up that way and we did not take the same trail back," Colin answered. Keith was not happy. "I'll go and look for her," he said. "That plane will be back for cer- tainty, and I want everyone in the Valley to be safe under cover be- fore it comes. We are provisioning a cave behind Arden's cabin." "Wing, I suppose, will be dropping bombs," Colin said harshly. "Very well, Keith. Chan and I will go with you. You'll never find your way, alone." "That's good of you." Keith said. "And while we go I can tell you what I know about this gang at The Bowl." "I want to hear all I can," Colin answered. "Not that it will do much good," he added bitterly. "I have no way of fighting them and-- I hate fighting." Keith saw that Colin was very upset. He did not blame him. To have this paradise of his ruined by murderegs in aeroplanes was an absolute disaster. "Don't worry about the fighting, Colin," he said. "That's our job. I'm going down the river for help as soon as you are all safe in the cave. Indian Jim and I are taking one of the canoes. Oh, well manage all right. We'll travel by night until we are past The Slit." They went out through the gate of the garden and Chan, eyes on ground, led the way. Keith saw at once that this yellow man was as good a tracker as any Indian, and that he and Colin had nothing to do but follow him. So. as they walked, he told his cousin of his first meet- ing with Marrable, his journey North, of the loss of Chet and Tuzu and of how he had been met and rescued by the Ardens. Colin looked at him with increased re- spect. "You've done well, Keith. I'm very sure that no one as yet has inflicted so much damage on Mar- rable as you have, and I don't won- der that he is out for your blood. It strikes me uncomfortably that he is extremely likely to get it." "I've no doubt he will try," Keith answered drily. "I'm only sorry for your sake that this war has invaded your territory. You haven't told me yet how you came here." "I heard of the place from Indian friends," Colin said simply. "Chan and I came up the river and found it. It was just what I'd always wanted, so I stayed." "You make it sound simple," Keith said. "I've no doubt there's & lot more behind it. By the bye: I suppose it was Arden who saved you from that g gang." "He didn't actually save me from the gang. They had left me for dead, and dead I should have been i¢ Arden had not happened along. He acted the Good Samaritan, ban- daged my wounds, and put me to bed in his tent and nursed and fed "Please come here, master," he said in his quiet voice. He pointed to marks in the soft soil. "Two men," he went on. "You see?" "I sese," sald Colin and Keith, too, could plainly see the prints of two palrs of feet whose owners had worn rubber-soled shoes. The prints told their own story for there were signs of a struggle, then they went on again but now three pairs abreast and the centre ones those of a wo- man, Terror seized Keith. "They've got Grace," he said hoarsely. COPPER POWDER CEMENT REPELS ODORS, PESTS New York--(AP) -- The Mellon Institute is developing a new ce- ment containing a copper powder which becomes "self-sanitizing." Installed on floors of restaurant kitchens, the cement was found to repel cockroaches, an institute re- port said. It may be useful in sup- pressing floor contamination and odors where food is used. Employed as a filling for tree cavities, the ce- ment keeps dampness and air from the cavity and the copper prevents decay beneath the filling even though all infected wood is not re- moved, the institute said.

Change of Name Termed Outrage Moose Jaw, Sask.--(CP)--Where once a party of feeble Cree women were slaughtered by a bann of mer- clless Blackfeet, a new battle is raging today--a battle to restore the legendary name of Old Wives Lake to what now is called Lake Johnston, 22 miles west of here. The original name, commemor- ating the bravery of the women who sacrificed themselves that their children might escape the Blackfeet, was altered in 1886 to honor Sir Frederick Johnston, a British visitor who came to hunt near the Buffalo-wallow. Now -SBaskatchiewan historians want the original name restored, and led by Z, M. Hamilton, presi- dent of the Saskatchewan Histori- cal Association, they are demanding that the National Geographic Board take action. For years Mr, Hamilton has condemned the "out- rage" of re-naming the lake after "an early tourist who had no con- nection with the province." More than 100 years ago, the leg- end says, a Cree hunting party was surrounded near the lake by a Blackfeet war party, With the whole band facing destruction, the aged Cree women persuaded the warriors and young women to flee during the night while they stayed by the campfires. When the Blackfeet attacked in the morning, they found only a few old women--and these were killed at once. Johnston visited the area in 1886 to hunt bison and on his departure the lake--now frequently as much a meadow as a lake--was re-named by his host, Archie McDonald, fac- tor of the Hudson's Bay Company Post at Fort Qu'Appelle. 2.
