Anne asked, "Do you suppose

"I'll find out." After a parley

Anne smiled. "Harem eyes. But

and made a bow.
"Interesting people," said
Anne, looking around the room
at the family an old man, his
two sons and their wives. A lit

f rubby children, roses shining in
heir cheeks, frolicked in the cen

ONE of the younger men culTed
one at the women, presum
ably his own wife, and she began
squalling. He knocked her down.
Anne glanced at Sherwood. He
seemed undisturbed. The woman
rose and grabbing a basin of
cooked rice from the back of the
Itove threw it on the floor.
"His supper, I bet," whispered
Sherwood.
The pups fell on the rice In a
snarling, fighting mass. The man
tangled his fingers in the wom
an's hair and begun jerking her
around. It was too much for
Anne. Sherwood caught her arm
and held her back.
"Here! Here!1' he admonished.
"I can't stand it!" she cried.
"They'd both turn on you. These
people aren't as sensitive to pam
as we are. I've seen them bareiy
whimper when their heads were
rut open or the flesh scraped from

Suddenly the woman snatched
up a wooden stool and brought it
against her husbands ribs with
a hearty whack, breaking one of

The children and the pup rolled
in p!i,v in the jp.it where the rice
had been thrown. The ntherl

Having seen Sherwood give
Mackey medicine, the old woman
showed him a cut on her arm. He
disinfected and bandaged the
wound and gave her a little tab

fect 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 forehead.
"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, tomorrow.
White men are not apt to be w ell
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 ncare:
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 woulilnf be hard to fall
sick here." Anne observed
He smiled at that. "Shall I re
peat what these women think ol
you?"
"Go ahead," though she felt a
bit apprehensive at the twinkle
in his eyes.
"They think that anybody keep,
ing as clean as you are, must be
in iy poor health. And they pity
you, profoundly, because you
have no baby."
"Well!" gasped Anne, ana then
she laughed. "If my college dean

"I learned something else," hf
went on. "the village r-nndal.
Though she's ashamed of tn fact
and keeps it secret, that woman
ho was thrown out went to a
British mission school in Khutan
when Mie was a child. Perhaps
vou can talk to her.
Anne rose. "I'll go to the sheep
fold and ee if I can find her."
She gathered up her possesions
