Show r THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM. UTAH THE REVELATION It Isn't the bitter words that hurl It U the revelation of the heart hitter toward you that generates them. She turned to fling her aruii around her father and kiss hlui. It was the only caress Garth had ever seen her give anyone. ; As he put on his pilot friend's helmet and goggles, the constnble mounted to the middle cockpit Kiwi handed the girl into the rear one. He drew over her head the shut-terle-ss glass cowl that almost cov-ered the opening. Garth spoke a lust word to her anxious father: "In all probability, sir, we'll overtake you within three or four days. May, however, have to lay over, in case of storm. If fog or snow makes us miss you on your way out, we'll probably meet at 1'ort McMurray." Mr. Ituuilll came close. 'Garth, there's something I can't under-stand. This crazy notion of Lilith's, I mean. It's not mere willfulness. She has something in mind." "Wants to see the handcuffs slipped on lluxby," Garth replied. "Can you blame her? Mangled van-ity. Had believed he loved her for herself at least as much as for her Inheritance. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' all that, you know." "Not all, Garth no! There's something else. I can't make her out. Something different about her." Terhaps she'll tell you when we come out. I'll of course do what I can for her." Garth shook hands, and swung aboard the small craft At a sign from him, the displaced pilot gave the propeller a spin. The plane swung around, to taxi downstream. There was no hurry. Had Uuxby schemed to fly Into the valley mere-ly to stake the placer In his own name and hop out again, he would not have taken the three miners. He undoubtedly had planned to do his season's assessment work. Midway of the down river flight, the three-seate- r ran Into a sleet squall. Garth dropped to the water and tied up nndor the lee of a spruce-blac- point They ran In and out of a sleet squall, leaving everything sheeted with Ice. Garth and Dillon knocked A few miles north from the pass he banked to the west and headed for the lowest notch In the Jagged east-sid- e wall of the valley. Above the great barrier the plane bumped like a boat In a choppy seat. Garth paid no conscious heed to the rough passage. His hands and feet adjusted the controls with auto-matic precision, leaving his atten-tion free to center upon what lay ahead. His first glimpse Into the valley showed him a column of smoke above the black belt of spruce at the far end pt the lake. Much thick-er and darker than ordinary camp-fir- e smoke, It stood out distinct against the vivid white of the snow-sheete- d tundra slope. As the plane drove clear above the saddle between the peaks, he shoved the stick forward and cut the gun. With the roar of the en-gine stilled, the plane swooped down at the lake like a monstrous bird of prey. Relatively speaking, It was driving at Its quarry as noiselessly as a great horned owl of the North stoops to strike a rabbit. Also, by entering the valley over this distant saddle, Instead of through the pass, Garth felt sure the plane would not be seen. His next problem was to effect a landing without the roar of the re-started motor. He had already made out Huxby's big cabin plane, moored at the mouth of the glacier stream. That was the only safe mooring place. Absence of any smoke near the plane told that the miners were camped at the placer. The stream mouth was too far from the diggings for the hurried workers to tramp back and forth every night and morning. Besides, there vould be snowdrifts to wade through. From every Indication, the claim-Jump-could be surprised and taken before he realized that any other party than his own bad come to the valley. The one need was to avoid using the plane's engine. Its roar would be beard for miles. Garth calculated the volplane an. gle with his utmost skill If he hit the water too soon, the propeller would have to be used to pull the plane In to the landing; If he held on too long, there might be a crack-u- p. It was a matter of fractions of seconds. He allowed for the fact that the slight wind was abeam, Instead of sucking down from the glacier. Ills one failure was to notice in time the shrunken volume of the glacier stream. The plane took to the water smoothly, at almost the exact dis-tance offshore that he had planned. The difficulty was that the outswirl-In- g current lacked the force he ex-pected. Instead of stowing down or stopping short, the three-seate- r drove In hard at the cabin plane. The stream mouth lacked width enough for the small plane to squeeze past the large one. Nor was there room to maneuver be-tween the offshore rocks. Garth acted with Instant decision. He swerved the - three-seate- r to clear the tall of the cabin plane. As he strlnned off his goggles and swung three days ago. Hopped off TDQ, with all she could heave up under gas and oil." The constable had stood at atten-tion. He met Garth's glance with a salute. "AH right, sir." "Good work, Dillon. One question those three miners?" "Broke prospectors, sir. Records, far as known, not savory. But none of the bunch Is wanted, and they're not newcomers from across the bor-der. They'll know enough not to In-terfere when I take my prisoner." The post factor came hastening In to shake hands. "Pardon my ab-sence, Mr. Garth. Was up to Llard. It's a great pleasure to have you stop off with us. If you plan to take In dogs, I have a picked team that I'd be honored" "Thank yon, no," Garth cut lnr "But I would like a rifle, rabbit winter moccasins, gloves, and three pairs of webs." He went Into a bunkroom to put on the rabbit-fu- r suit under bis buckskins. When he came out, a girl In a plain, gown stood talking to the pilot The pilot glanced towards him. The girl turned quickly. lie found himself face to face with Llllth RamilL Yet It was not the grease-and-pltc- h marked face of his canoe com-panion. Nor was It that deep-line- d rouged and powdered face with scarlet-smeare- d Hps that had sneered at him on Tobln's wharf. It was a face umooth and firm, vivid with life and vitality. Only the blue eyes were hard. . "Alan' Garth," she said, "I've learned all about It. You're going back there after him!" "Sorry, Miss Itamlll. It's not re-venge, If that's what you think. I tried to spare you. But, If you must liave It, he Is a thief." The girl's eyes flashed. "Worse 1 He's a cowardly murderer. That Is why I too am going to see him taken prisoner," "Ion?" "Yes. I am going to see him cringe, the sneaky beast I Do you think I've forgotten how he crept up and shot you when you weren't looking? And what If he didn't in-tend to shoot Dad? ne left him to die. If that's not enough, must I tell yon bow he taunted me?" "Yet that's no reason why you" "It Isl If you refuse I'll tag after you In another plane." Garth studied her gravely. She stared back at him, hotly defiant He pretended to accept her reasons for wanting to go: "You most certainly are a good hater. Miss Itamlll. One thing, though. The valley Is about to freeze up. It will not be the sum-mer paradise we left We may land In a blizzard." She looked around the store. "Where are those Eskimo suits you told me about?" At that he smiled a bit grimly. "This Is Indian country. You shall have rabbit and buckskins." ' H.e turned to the factor: "Add the lady's outfit to my account." To the pilot: "Kiwi, this Is where you are to fit your name. You're going to be a wingless ground bird." "Oh, have a heart, 'Lan!" "Three Is a crowd, and she Is it. Ask her father." For the first time the girl be-trayed a trace of doubt "But we'll have to have a pilot" Kiwi stared, then grinned at the Joke. "Lady, what you don't know about our boy friend would appear to be quite a considerable. All right, you lame duck, go hog the Joystick." fillSlSlii!

She not only refrained from scoffing, she ate bis bacon and porridge as heartily as Garth and the policeman. The moosehlde canoe lay up-turned on the bank beside Garth's old birchbark. Tobin had at once told Huxby's story. According to the engineer, the lady and her fa-ther were still marooned In the mountains. He had come out with Garth to fetch a plane for them. But Garth had been killed by a wounded CHAPTER IX Murdtr. down from his cockpit with tho mooring line, the pontoon stems smashed like eggshells on a water-- , worn rock, across the narrow chan-nel from the tall of the other plane. Before the current could float the three-seate- r back into deep water, Garth leaped ashore. Llllth had opened the cowl of her cockpit and was starting to climb out Garth glanced at the threatening sky. "She has settled down hard and fast, Miss Itamlll Better stay snug aboard until we return." The girl's reply was to scramble forward on the shoreward wing of the plane. Garth waded out in the Icy water and had her hand down his rifle, the three pairs of snow-shoe- s, and all the blankets. He tossed everything to Dillon, then took the girl on his shoulders. The policeman had started up-stream with the outfit He walked across the now shallow ford with out getting a drop of water over the tops of his heavily greased shoe-pack-s. Garth slung Llllth on his shoulder like a sack of meal and splashed after Dillon. At the far bank Dillon stopped to put on a pair of snowshoes. Garth lowered the girl upon a bare rock, and ran down the left bank to swing aboard the cabin plane. With him he took the blankets. When he came ashore, he bad on dry socks and moccasins. ' He frowned at Llllth. She- - was flopping awkwardly along on snow-shoe- s behind the policeman. "Take off those webs and get Into the cabin," he ordered. "I will not," she refused. Tni going with you. I came to see that beast arrested." "Don't be a fool Well be there and back before you've more than got started. There's no time to wait for you.

She tripped and plunged face-dow-n Into a drift (TO BE CONTINUED) THB morning Garth for the IN time showed haste. The dawn was far too beautifully rose. He made sure that Lilith's blankets were back in her cockpit before he handed her aboard. He fitted the glass wind cowl to the cockpit rim, which came up almost level with her eyes. "If we strike into a blizzard, get your cap over your ears, and blank-et yourself, head and all," he warned. "Yon don't want to lose your ears and nose." The constable was already snug under his own cowl. Garth swung bis pilot cockpit. Old Tobin gave the propeller a spin for him. This time Garth needed no cir-cling In order to trace the air route. Aboard the cabin monoplane he had watched Huxby's Instruments and noted the landmarks from above. Oe now knew the way in by air. By the time the lovely rose dawn glared into an angry red sunrise, the roaring plane had flown all the way across that weary desolation of muskegs and broken-ridge- d lower mountains. Thickening clouds foretold anoth-er storm. But Garth had outraced It Instead of swing in around the out-thru- st mountain to the pass, he banked and drove past the east side of the mountain, on a long upslant Constable Dillon put in a word: "It's not on the cards, sir, to take along a young lady. If this lluxby tries to act up" Tie's your meat, Dillon. I'll stand responsible for Miss Kamill." Down at the waterfront Garth went over the plane with his pilot friend. There was a full load of gasoline and a change of oil To the week's supply of provisions, he added the three pairs of snowshoes and the new rifle.
