The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Seven Henry u w synopsis: Anns Wlllard, with BUze Sherwood and Pete Mackey, have landed In the middle of a Mongolian snowstorm, and are now in the-'reasonably tolerant custody of the headman of a tiny vlllase. He plans to take the lot of them to the authorities, and Anne has gone to find a women who speaks English, hoping that she may persuade her to give them some selp. The woman has taken refuge in a heeplold from her Irate husband. Chapter Six Sudden Flans Having seen Sherwood give Mackey medicine, the old wo man showed him a cut on her arm. He disinfected and band aged the wound and gave her a little tablet to swallow for its mental effect. Anne napped a bit and was aroused by a hand on her wrist. Sherwood was bending over her. She sat up quickly. "Pardon, I didn't mean to star tle you." He dropped down be side her. "You seem to have a way with women and children," she said, brushing, her shining hair back from her, forehe'ad; ' r " ' "I hope so," he grinned, and lowered his voice unconsciously. "I don't like our position here. We're not prisoners exactly but our host is the village headman, ' and he intends marching us down to Arishar, the capital, to morrow. White men are not apt to be well received in that robbers roost though red-headed women are highly prized?' It took a moment for that to sink in, then Anne protested. "But my hair's not red." "Close enough, I fear nearer red than black." ' "So what?" she demanded. "I don't know," in troubled tones. "Perhaps if you'd seem to become dreadfully ill they'd leave you here with the women. It's a two days' journey." "It wouldn't be hard to fall sick here," Anne oserved. He smiled at that.. "Shall I re peat what these women think of you?" "Go ahead." though she felt a bit apprehensive at the twinkle in his eyes. "They think that anybody keeping as clean as you are, must be in very poor health. And they pity you, profoundly, because you have no baby." "Weill" gasped Anne, and then she' laughed. "If my college dean of women could hear thatl" "I learned something else," he went on, "the village scanaai Though she's ' ashamed of the fact and keeps it secret, that woman who was thrown out went to a British mission school in Khotan when she was a child, Perhaps you can talk to her. Anne- rose. "I'll go to the sheepfold and see if I can find her." She gathered up her pos sessions and left. The woman had already bed ded down, for the night. She sat up amiably and lighted a candle when Anne appeared Presently she admitted that she understood and could talk a bit of English, that she had known all along the travelers were Eng lish and not Tibetan, though she had told no one. Her name was Khallma. Anne showed her a coin, and the woman's eyes bleamed. She agreed gladly to circumvent the men of her family and save the white woman from being taken to the Emir. ' ' At the same time, she declar ed, the safest place to hide from trie Em r was in his own oalace. His wife, the nrlneess. would help them and contrive an escape across the border. She also had attended a mission school. Khalima was her slave .... by ' m m ti girl at the time. Now Khalima's mother cooked in the harem. They could easily gain admit tance with Anne in disguise. To night they should go to a serai an hour across the hills on the main caravan route to the capi tal. All this sudden and dramatic planning left Anne a bit breath less, but she determined to fol low the woman. At least it was better than facing imprisonment. Khalima went bustling about in the shed, wrapping herself in sheep skins and binding her feet in rags, when suddenly they heard footsteps approaching. Sherwood appeared. "Y o u stayed away so long you had me worried," he said, coming to Anne out of the gloom. "Have you been able to talk to her?" "I have," she replied, motion ing for him to sit down beside her on a pile of fleeces. "Kha lima's feeling resentful against all men just now and thinks we can make her relatives believe I wondered away in the storm and became lost. They'll not make much effort to find me since I'm only a' woman, she says, because a woman who can not take care of herself is not worth worrying about. She's going to hide me. "Where?" ' "I'd rather not say. I'll be helped to escape across the bor der to Phuka." He petted an inquisitive sheep. that came up and nosed him. "Even the sheep find you irre sistible," she jested. I hope that's a lesson to you to cease fighting me," he grin ned. She shook her head. "I'm one of those disagreeably independ ent girls." "There's a remedy for that when I have time to get around to it." He pushed the sheep away. "Did your father send a note by the Nagara priest who met you?" How do you know that man was a priest?" she asked. He had a woman with him and he talked to me' in English.' "Both of them together are one priest." She stared at him. "What kind of mathematics is that whereone plus one equals one?" Dnddap ' He laughed. "What did you think of those two who came to you?" "They were strange," she said thoughtfully. "Less childlike and sly than most primitive peo ple, but somehow more dan gerous." He nodded. "Smart girl You're going to be a credit to our profession. "You haven't told me yet if your father sent a note by the Nagaras. "Why didn't you stay that night at Jus Masar and find out?" "I didn't want to complicate things for you." She looked at him curiously. "Just why were you there?" He hesitated a moment. wanted to see the girl who rated receiving the Nagara dagger "And what about the little bird that warned you?" "Oh, that," he laughed. "It was tHe hermit who lives near by. I'd made friends with him." "How did you know I'd be there?" "Doddap divined it. He's a prophet, a seer. I didn't believe him but I flew over just to" he faltered and smiled "to see if he was right. And there you were. I guess he s got me go ii Carl Anderson ing." They gazed at each other until she brought herself back with an effort, "Yes, father sent a note. Would you like to know what was in it?" He gave her a sidelong glance. "He told you they had been cap tured by the Nagaras and for you to go ahead as planned." "Wrong," she smiled. "They are negotiating with the Naga ras, and we are to go ahead as planned. But the only plan I can think of was a hope to gain permission from the Chinese governer to set up a radio they took with them for the purpose of sending out news of any dis coveries they might make." ' "He might refer to your plan to marry Dr. Oliver."
