THE COLBORNE EXPRES: \F« or lovers of green tea SALADA GREEN TEA Love Huntress Bv H. GLYNN-WARD Claudia Townsend meets Dick Whalen at a hockey game in Seattle •ne night. Her interest in Dick infuriates Wallace Bornell, rich young lumberman, who wants her to marry him. To get Dick out of the way, Wallace offers him a job in one of his lumber camps in British Columbia. Claudia, meanwhile, goes to Victoria with her father to see about a job for Dick. When she wires him that the job is his, Bornell manages to intercept the telegram. Dick then accepts Bornell's offer and goes north. At the lumber camp he discovers that the Bornell company is stealing timber. When he asks the boss, Brad-dock, for an explanation, he put him off and next day starts for Seattle. The following day Claudia stops in at Bornell's office and, by chance, overhears Bornell and Braddock plotting to do away with Dick. CHAPTER VI Claudia had her wits about her, sharper now than ever. She must find out more. She heard Bornell say, "You'd better be off at once, or you'll miss the boat from Vancouver." "No boat tonight," the man answered. "I'll have to wait till tomorrow." They lad opened the door and come out int* the outer office as they spoke. They stopped short as they saw Ciudia. But she was leaning back-'omfortably in a chair, intent on hr hand-mirror, her powder-puff, and.er nose. H'hy, Claudia!" Wallace exclaimed su^iciously. "What on earth are you do^g here?" She flashed a smile at him and look-f back into her mirror. "I thought I'd surprise you, Wally! ',n so cold and hungry^ I just though*; -"There was a moment's dead silence as the two men exchange! glances. Had she heard anything? The seeming innocence of the girl, her utter nonchalance, disarmed suspicion. "Why, I'm more than delighted--" Borne!! dismissed Braddock with a nod, and the big man walked heavily out of the office. "Where shall we fo? To what do I owe this most unusual invitation?" "Well--I haven't seen you for three whole days, Wally, so I thought I'd look in on my way home to tell you that I'm going up to Banff for the winter sports in a day- or so, with the Hodgsons, you know. In fact, they're there already." She had risen and was walking casually towards the door. Borneil followed, putting an arm around her shoulders. "Just one little kiss. . . " She pulled away from him--oh, how she hated him! But she tried to play up to him a little as they left the office. She drove him in her car to a fashionable restaurant. "I've a good mind to run up to Banff while you're here," he said when they had ordered tea. "Why not? It would be fun! You must know British Columbia awfully well, Wally, you have so much property up there." "Why no," he smiled. "Banff is in the Rockies." Where is it then? Anywhi where there's ice a ing?': "Part of our holdings are in the far north." "Couldn't v a party of u go and ski up there, What town is nearest to your properties, Wally?" "Oh-- Fort George, and a little place called Burns Lake." Burns Lake! That was what she had wanted to know. Now she was quite sure they had been talking about Dick Whalen. After tea Claudia said goodbye fo Bornell outside the office of a railway agency. Ostensibly she was going to find out about trains and fares to Banff, but her real reasons was to find out the whereabouts of Burns Lake. When she returned home she found a letter waiting for her-- a letter from Dick Whalen at Burns Lake! She gasped in surprise when she saw it. But her surprise deepened as she read it. Here were explanations enough to damn Bornell for- - It JWft. .Bornell.; ^ bounded* rnoTte too fond of Dick when he had spoken of him to her. He must have wanted Dick out of the way! Quickly the motive for that suggested itself to Claudia--jealousy, on her account! Dick had never received her telegram at all! But the hotel people had told her that it had been delivered. There must be some explanation. No wonder Dick had left her m silence. He thought she had let him down, failed in her promise. A great load was lifted from her heart she could have cried aloud for joy and relief. Now she knew that Dick was all she had first thought of him. He had neither, failed her nor snubbed her. But Dick was in danger now! Bornell and that big man were going to "get rid of him" because of some- Tea Towels Bubbling With Charm Are These By Laura Wheeler lORNE, ONT., APRIL 29th, 1937 thing he had found out! He be warned immediately! The dormant love for him had come ing up afresh. Her wits worked quickly. . . and all at once the idea came to her. She would go up there herself! It would be safer and more certain than any wire could be, or letter She had found out that Burns Lake could be reached either by taking the boat to Prince Rupert and then going across country by train, or by going north from Vancouver by train and then westward, a long train journey. The big man, Braddock, whom Claudia had seen in Bornell's office, had said it would be just as quick to wait for tomorrow's boat. She would go up by boat. Her family would think she was going to Banff; that would make it easy for her to take skis with her. It wouid not be altogether a lie, for she would turn up at Banff some time later-- making a round-about journey. Claudia knew nothing of logging-camps, except by hearsay. But the fact that she had been brought up in th3 lap of luxury had not deprived her of initiative, of one iota of her natural spunk. She armed herself with all the money she could lay hands on, her ski and winter outfit, and set out into the world of adventure prepared for anything. On the boat she came face to face with Braddock, recognizing him immediately but giving no sign of it. He gave her a stare, then took the cigar out of his mouth, turned it over and over thoughtfully. Braddock was a shrewd and cunning by Here i the girl he had the Bornell offic who might or might not have heard him and Bornell'talking. This was not tht tourist season, and to find her here was a coincidence too strange to be by chance. If she were bound for the same destination as he--was it in Bornell's interest, or against it? This girl might hold all their fates in the hollow of her littie hands. Braddock was not the man to leave anything to chance. He kept an eye on Claudia Town-send. When they reached Burns Lake long after dark, he saw her step out of the Pullman far ahead, and chuckled as he watched her standing there alone, looking about her obviously a bit bewildered at the immensity of the country around her, the lack of a porter of any sort, the few 'lights that came from the scattered dwellings of the He hurried over to the inn, booked a sleigh to take him at once down to the camp, and saw to it that no other sleigh would be at Claudia's disposal until next morning.
