THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE VALLEY OF NO ECHO By T.C. Bridges ; CHAPTER XXXVII Marrable stood over Keith. La. fitte's blow had cut Keith's scalp and streaks of half dried blood smeared his face and tunic. His eyes were Bleegahor, his wet clothes Sung 10 his body, he looked a Marrable continued to gloat over his helpless enemy. "You may remember, Marlowe, I told you that no one ever struck me and got away with it. Before you die you are going to be extremely sorry that you were fool enough to interfere with Paul Marrable." "What are you going to do?" Keith asked drily--"burn me alive?" Like most men of his type, Mar- rable had no sense of humour. He took Keith's question seriously. "That," he said, "might be a use. ful warning to others who think they can behave as you have. But it would not satisfy me. I have some- thing in store for you that will hurt you more than burning. You are in love with Grace Arden. She is in my hands and I shall keep you alive until you have seen what I shall do with her." Grace a prisoner! Marrable's words gave Keith an ugly shoek. Surely it was impossible that Grace had been caught. He had left her safe in the cave and he was very sure that Colin and Chan were taking good care of her. Then in a flash it came to him that in some unex. fiat way Marrable had heard of 's capture by Shard on the previous day but that he was not aware of her release. "I don't belleve a word of it," he said scornfully, "You couldn't even gah me. You had to get Lafitte to 0 it." Marrable's savage temper boiled up. He gave Keith a heavy kick in the ribs. Lafitte looked round. "I though you was going to keep him alive, boss," he remarked. "He ain't in very good shape anyway." "I'll keep him alive," Marrable snarled. "But first I'll teach him to curb that tongue of his. Now Ill send for the girl." He turned and strode out of the room. "You take my advice, you won't aggravate him," Lafitte said to Keith and, lighting another cigar. ette, settled comfortably in his chair. The heavy rug had saved Keith's ribs, he was getting warmer, but he did not move or speak. If he did they ht tie him, which would cut off the last chance of escape. That is, it there was any chance at all, which at present seemed extremely doubtful, _ Marrable came in again loving | _¢ the door ajar. Keith lay with his eyes closed, Marrable bent over him, "Curse the swine. He looks as if he was dying," he growled. "Give him some whiskey, Lafitte." Lafitte got up leisurely, poured some whisky into a glass and came across. Keith did not move. "Raise his head, boss," sald La. fitte. Marrable knelt down, put an arm under Keith's shoulders and lifted his head. "That will do nicely, Stay right like that." Silent as a shado'y, Gil had slip. ped into the room, He had Keith's heavy police revolver in his fist, and a glow of flerce determination in his dark eyes. The surprise was so complete that Marrable and Lafitte were simply frozen. Keith seised his chance, made one leap, and gained his feet. Withr a snarl of rage Marrable grasped at him. It was no time for niceties. Keith kicked him in the jaw and knocked him cold. Lafitte raised his hands. "Guess I know when I'm licked!" be said calmly. "Quickly, Gil! We have to tie mem up," Keith said. "Is anyone outside?" "I no see anyone, I see two go 'way. Zen I get chance." He hand. ed the pistol to Keith. "I get ze cords," he said. A rawhide rope hung on the wall, Gil had it down in a moment and slashed it into lengths with his knife. With incredible quickness he tied up Lafitte. Marrable was stun. ned, so there was no difficulty in securing him. "You might give me a cigarette," Lafitte suggested. The man had been fair to him, and Keith waited just long enough to light a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then turn. ed to Marrable. ye must take him with us," said. : "You think you carry him?" Gil asked sarcastically. he Keith bit his lip, Marrable was limp as a dead man, and looked as it A would be out for an hour. Gil stiffened. He stepped quickly to the door, listened a moment, then turn. ed to Keith, "The others they come. We go zon now of no time." Keith knew Gil to doubt him, yet it was a bitter 1| pill to be forced to leave Marrable, "The best way is to shoot him," Gil said, but even though he knew that leaving Marrable alive meant every kind of trouble, Keith could not bring himself to such a thing. "Queek!--they come!" Gil d, and Keith and he slipped out into the night and gained the shelter of the trees just as a number of Mar. rable's men came into the clearing, Once more Keith had to thank his stars that he had Gil as guide. Sure that there would be pursuit, Gil led Keith far back from the lake shore, It was a long road and a hard one, and dawn was pink in the east when at last they neared the save, By this time Keith was so done he could hardly crawl. Gi! left him un. der cover and went forward to see if any of Marrable's men were out. side the cave. _ Some time later he came back with news that several of the enemy had seized the cabin and made it their headquarters, but had left only one man on guard at the en. trance of the ravine leading up to the cave. "Left a man on guard," Keith repeated, frowning. "How the devil shall we get past him?" "We walk," said Gil. "He no guarding now." As he spoke he touched the hilt of his belt knife significantly. Keith drew a quick breath. "Dead," he whispered, "Dead like his boss would be eef you had sald the word, Corporal." Keith shivered slightly. It seemed beyond belief that this mild-man. nered, courteous little man could kill with so little compunction. Yet in his heart he knew that it had been the only thing to do. "Let's go," he said and followed Gil as the latter moved soundlessly down into the ravine, Glia (To be continued) Raglan Couple Wed Saturday yy LURe Ji 30--Cangratulsions to Mr. and a last Lior Davids Several guests me Orillia, Galt, Toronto and Oshawa attended the wedding supper which was held at the home of the groom's parents, Mr, and Mrs, R.
