i SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE VALLEY OF NO ECHO By T.C. Bridges CHAPTER XXVIII Enemy Sent 'Back Keith spoke to Gil. "How far, this canoe?" "She just round bend. Take five minutes maybe." Keith nodded. "No hurry then. Mr. Arden, I'll stop them. There is no need for you or any of your party to show yourselves at all." He saw the re- lief on Arden's face and smiled in- wardly. Grace spoke. "It's dangerous, Mr. Marlow. We must be there to back you if there trouble." ath a be no trouble," Keith said quietly. "There are plenty of rocks to give me cover. If these fel- lows refuse to turn back I shall sink their canoe." : "If you finish the lot I shan' complain," Arden said harshly, and once more Keith realized how deep- ly the man was stirred. He picked up the rifle he had taken from Mar- rable's men and climbed the should- er of rock. Peering cautiously over the top, he saw the canoe still a couple of hundred yards down stream, but coming up at a brisk rate. Two men were paddling and cone of these was Traynor. The third, a medium-sized man who had very broad shoulders and a dark, unshaven face sat amidships with a rifie in his hands, keeping a careful eye on the left hand bank, Keith's lip curled as he watched them. "Do they really fancy that I'm going to climb down the cliffs and give myself up?" he remarked to hinself. Then it occurred to him that, after all, Marrable's men were not so foolish as he had at first believed for they would feel sure that by this. time he, Keith, was starving. and a man in that condi- tion might prefer a quick end, so long as he got a good feed before he died. Keith waited until the canoe was within fifty yards then, aiming care- fully, plugged a bullet into the wat- er just in frqnt of it. In a flash the dark-skinned man flung his weapon to his shoulder and his bul- let pinged off Keith's rock, sending splinters showering over him. "The beggar can shc +," muttered Keith as he inst... /ely wincec "Strikes me I'd better not take chances" So saying he ducked down, crept to the shelter of a second boulder and, carefully push- ing out his rifle barrel between that stone and another, fired again. This time the nickel-coated missile struck the canoe on the water line just in front of the rifieman and tore clean through. There was a yell of dis- may from Traynor as he and the other paddlers turned the canoe and drove furiously back down the stream. The rifleman snapped another shot at Keith, but Keith did not fire again. He could easily have sunk the canoe but then, in common de- cency, he and Arden wpuld have been obliged to rescue her Ww. AS it was, she would be leaking sb bad- ly that it would be all her men could do to keep her afloat until she was out of range. Then they would have to spend several hours, repairing her. . Keith waited where he was until the canoe was out of sight, about half a mile below, then turned to find Arden close behind him. "You could have sunk the canoe," said Arden. "In which case we should have had three prisoners on our hands, Mr. Arden!" replied Keith quietly. "Prisoners! They'd have drown- "Which fate they no doubt rich- ly deserved." said Keith drily, "but you must remember that a police- man's duty is to arrest not execute." He changed the subject. 'They're out of sight. It might be as well if we got away before they are able to follow." Arden grunted. He was looking distinctly upset, yet he had to re- alize that Keith was right. "Very well. We'll get on," he said. Keith gave him a word of comfort. Man on the Skyline . "I don't think theyll be in a hurry to follow, Mr. Arden. They can't know that you have picked me up. I think they will wait here in the hope of starving me out." Ar- den brightened at this. "That seems likely enough," he allowed. . "All the same, we won't waste time." . They were all in their canoes in a matter of minutes, and Arden and his daughter started up stream at a great pace. Keith, behind them, kept looking back over his shoulder. His canoe had nearly reached the next bend when he caught a glimp- se of a man high on the cliff top on the left bank. This man was so far off that he was barely visible. Yet if Keith had seen him it was posite. They were near enough to the fire to be seen by the others, but out of earshot. "They spotted us," Keith told her abruptly. "One of them had climb- ed the cliff. The chap was too far off for me to recognize him, so he certainly couldn't tell who I was with. But he knows I've gone up the river in a canoe and I'm fairly sure that he will go back and tel his chief. Then they'll come after me in force. My problem is wheth- er or not to tell your father." "So you've put the decision on me," said Grace. Though Keith was sure that his news was a shock to her, she managed to smile. "I'm doing so because I trust your judgment," Keith answered. She smiled again. "That's nice of you. At the same time----" 8he paused and evident- ly conside what next to say. Keith was content to watch her. With her chin cupped in her hands she was leaning forward, and the fire threw a flickering light on her calm, beautiful face. "Yes," was Keith's thought, "she is not just pretty; she is beautiful. The most beautiful woman I ever saw." He was so deep in wistful admira- tion that he almost started when Grace began to speak again. "Mr. Marlow, you say that you trust me. I am going to trust you. I must do so in order to make you understand the curious attitude of my father, which, I can see, is puz- zling you." She paused, but Keith did not speak. She went on.

He glanced at his companion, but | wedn the stolid Indiah was busy with his paddle and did not seem to have noticed what Keith had seen. All that long afternoon as they drove on up Lost River Keith was silent. He was trying to decide what was best to do. He knew that, if he told Arden that they had been , spotted Arden would be in a ter- rible fuss. Yet it did not seem fair to keep him in the dark. At last he decided to tell Grace and let her decide as to whether her father should be told. Grace had a level head and he knew he could trust her. Arden kept going until dusk and, when at last they landed on a gravel beach, Keith himself was tired. He marvelled that Grace had been able to stand such a gruelling day. He saw that she was very stiff as she stepped ashore, yet she set to work at once to help Gil prepare supper. . Keith waited until the meal was over, then managed to give Grace a hint that he wished to speak to her. It was only a look and a nod, but she understood at once. Her swift intelligence was one of Grace's charms that appealed intensely to Keith. Presently she moved away from the fire and Keith followed.

Zanuck's presentation of 'Anna and the King of Siam," starring Irene Dunne, Rex Harrison and Linda Dar- nell, opens a two-day engagement at the Biltmore Theatre on Monday. No fiction tale spun out of imagina- tion, Margaret Landon's unusual bio- graphy captivated millions of readers with its exciting story of the advel tures of an English woman who came to the exotic Siam of 1862 to serve as a teacher to the scores of wives and children of King Mongkut. . Here was all the intrigue of the royal palace, the loves and jealousies that rose out of the passions and furies of the harem, the breathtaking spec- tacle of a people who reveled in pa- geantry, and a shocking barbarism that ran parallel in strange paradox with an age-old culture of wisdom and beauty. And woven in brilliant relief through this exotic background, the story of Anna herself, who brought her Western beauty, flery courage and keen wit to win a triumph no woman ever knew before, From the beginning, Zanuck along with th ds of movie-g , could picture only Irene Dunne as Anna.

The supporting cast of "Anna and the King of Siam" includes such out- standing players as Lee J. Cobb, Gale Sodergaard, Mikhail Rasummy, Dennis Hoey, Tito Renaldo and Richard Lyon.
