i jCameron Obeyed feL* Orders Sr By JAMES CRAWFORD THAT was what they called him, the silent, strapping Scotsman, who had been sent so many times Into far places after fugitives from Justice It had come to be a habit. Whenever news came to headquar ters of some escaping miscreant, tor the chief to send for Hugh and say tersely, "Go, get him, Cnm eron!" And invariably Cameron bqth went and got. • ’ Little was known of his life be fore he had Joined up with the Northwest Mounted Borne four years ago. Rumor had it that, back In Winnipeg, he had had an un fortunate love affair, but as that sort of gossip is likely to attach it self to a man who reaches his mid dle thirties without marrying, too much credence was not given to it. At the time of the sensational bank robbery in Winnipeg, then, Hugh Cameron was a weather-hard ened, clear-eyed man with no ap parent interest in life beyond his dqty. • He had already heard the main facts of the case before he was summoned by the chief—how the teller had been killed by a fellow clerk, aided by a confederate who was said to have been a woman, and how the murderer had got away with a large sum. “An ugly customer," warned the chief. “He seems to have struck north, and there Is a chance the woman may be with hint, although I doubt that. But he ought not to be difficult to find by so clever a man as yourself.” Three months later, Cameron was still searching. There had been clues, yes, but clues which ul timately led him nowhere, until at length he fell iu with a band of rov ing Blackfeet. “Yes,” they told him. “Man and squaw living in trapper's cabin. At big bend In Heron river." So Cameron, restocked with some of, their, dried fish, once, again SPECIAL RUNWAY BUILT FOR AMERICA’S START/ Photo shows special runway built at Roosevelt Field, Long Island, N. Y., to facilitate the takeoff of he transatlantic nlnne America. w ^ headed north. Two days later he reached the Heron river and made camp a mile or two below the bend. Then he calmly waited for dark ness. When at. last he set out for the cabiD, he was pleased to discover a trail sufficiently warm to indicate recent use. Stealthily, with his automatic ready for instant serv ice* he crept along,' reached the small, w’eather-stained dwelling, ilung open the door, then stepped back violently, his brain in terrible confusion at sight of the slender ilgure which had sprung up at his entrance. “You—Janet?” he gasped. Her face, drained of all eolor, quivered, but before she could an swer there came a delirious mur mur from the bunk and at once, with evident tenderness. _ she stepped over and patted a form that lay huddle^ beneath the blankets. “Is—Is that Fred Dallas?” he de manded. The girl shivered, then nodded. “It—It can’t be that you, Janet— that you—oh, was it?” She made no denial of his un spoken accusation. “I have no choice,” said Hugh grimly. “Nightmare although it all seeins to me. I place you both urn der arrest and you must go with me to Tama rock post. I suppose you have a boat—” The next hour was a hideous one for Cameron. Carrying the gaunt, unshaven man down to the dug-out, packing away their<sfcmall pmount of stuff, silently helping the girl Into the bow and thrusting a pad dle, into her hand. ft Was not until they had pad died nearly opposite Hush's camp where he Intended to put aboard his own belongings, that Janet, without turning her head, spoke In a low, tense voice. “Fire Into that clump of dwarfed cedars. As you once loved me, fire!” “There was an urgency in her tone to which' Cameron involun tarily responded. Twice he fired, and Ills first shot was answered by a bullet which fortunately for the ffccupants of the canoe went wild. Then a dark figure pitched forward to the bank. But not for some time did Hugh altogether understand. Not until he had paddled ashore and found a badly disabled man who would further complicate their Journey to tffe post and lmd turned to Janet, FIRST PICTURE OF LATEST FORD AIR FLIVVER Tliis is the first picture of the latest Ford airplane, taken at Ford Airport, Detroit. who'flung wildly to Ins’ ami, hys terically explaining: “Oil, it's been terrible, Hugh!
