PAGE TEN MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1941. www kMzm 6 Ritx AWfsr HkM YESTERDAY: Anne (VII lard and her ttoo companions havt been captured on their way to her other's camp in the Mongolian desert. Their captor is talcing Blaze Sherwood and Pete Mackey to the Emir, but a native woman has disguised Anne as an otd hag, and is slipping her into the Emir's palace, where one of the ruler's wives will try to help her escape. By accident both parties are spending the night in the same inn, and Blaze has penetrated Anne's disguise. Chapter Eight Magic Cura MACKEY grinned. "Then maybe the first guy with nerve enough to take the dagger wins Mist Willard." "May be." agreed Sherwood. Anne laughed miachievoualy. "You notice that Dr. Sherwood refused to take it." Mackey'i eyes jegan to twin kle. "If you could see yourself, my girl, you'd understand why.' Anne laugher again and rubbed more oot on her face. Sherwood looked at her. "By the way, Doddap is here." "Your friend the seer?" "Yes, mother," he teased. "He If posing as your son." "That one! How extraordinary!" "He said that if I ever got into trouble and needed him he'd come where I was." Sherwood grinned. "I must be In trouble. He seems to be able to go any where he wants to go. He was rriucated in India and England. He's been to America. A year or ao ago I became lost and wound up in his monastery on the Shani Lun side of the Bekkan Bula mountains. He met me with the Greeting, "Welcome, Rimpoche. ve been expecting you for a week.' It was in his monastery that I learned about Shy-a Nago. He hears voices and sees visions. I never believe him until the event occurs. But it is astonish' (no hn nften he la right." They had forgotten Mackey who sat listening, holding his ching Jaw. "Does that lama know?" asked Anne, "that I carry the Nagara dagger." "He told me two months ago that you would coma end receive '"I didn't know It myself two months ag," she cried. "There vou are." he shrugged. "Does he predict that you and the Prince of Shanl Lun will take Shy-e Nagc away from my fa ther?" . "Not exactly," Sherwood said. Vaninff hark nn hit elbow On the platform so that she could not see his face, "but he saya that the time has come for the treat' ure to be revealed." "Is this the prophecy my t tViAr annWn nf In his note?' "Dr. Oliver and the members cf your f a t h e r's Expedition should know, he answered eva ivrlv. "Do not under anv cir cumstances let the dagger out of your possession. Mackey groaned. "I wish shed use it to cut my throat" Sher wood looked at him sympatheti mIIv. "Maybe Doddap can relieve you. Some of these native magi- clani nave remarxaoi ncuing rtnurera." - Doddap agreed readily to do lomething for Mackey'a toothache. The latter, looking a bit foolish that he should lend himself to men hocus pocus, obeyed the rnmmanrl to seat himself on aheenskin. cross legged, his back against the wall. Though the other men were Mohammendan If anything they crouched down to watch the ceremony. The lama passed his hands llahtlv over Mackey t face and throat and' chest, fingered his ininni column and shook his nn eer tins as if to toss off poison He stared into the white man's vh intently for a moment then raised his voice in a familiar chant "Better now?" he asked. Mackey blinked. "I don't know." The lama's manner changed to a certain impishnrss. He made more passes before Mackey's face, and finally, by a clever slight of hand drew an eaale't claw from Mackey'a ear. which object he declared, had caused the pain. "Hell.'1 cried Markey, grabbing the claw and lumping to his feet with an indignant look at Sher wood, "trying to make a monkey out of me, eh?" Sherwood grinned. "How's the toothache? A blank look came over Mackey's face. He put his hand to his taw and pinched and probed a bit befure he answered reluctant ly: "The darn thing seems to have quit hurting." "Here's hoping vou'll have good night's sleep," said Sherwood. To The Emir THE headman rose and the other men followed him out. Presently the lama returned bringing Anne's big traveling case. She didn't know how he had contrived to gel it and she didn't ak. But it was good to realize there were clean and de cent clothes in her possession even thmieh she dare not wear them "Thank you. Doddap," the said as he turned to leave. He bowed to her. "I give you advice. Trust Sherwood. Rim poche. The master is foolish sometimes but trust you're foolish too." Anne itared after hli retreat- lng back. .Then she gave herself a little shake. "He's right Anne Willard you're foolish in more wava than one." The next afternoon they came to the edge of the oasis that made up Arlshar, the capital city of Yangsar. Canals lined with wil low and mulberry followed the road. Paddy fields that would later be flooded for rirte planting, stretched away on either aide. Here the country was gay with spring, acacia in full leaf, and apricots and peaches, round green buttons on the trees. Under the shadow of the city wall Anne bade her white friends goodby. They were well ahead of the main caravan. Khalima strug gled with Anne's donkey to keep htm from following them off the rnaH "Farewell," said Anne lignuy, have a good time in Jail." watch your aiep in w harem." Mackey warned her. Sherwood walked over and stood beside her. They gazed at each other for a moment in si lence. Then ahe said: "You're looking at me as father does when he's going to tell mt something for my own good." "I feel as responsible as a ra ther." he said in a troubled voice. "This is no place for a kid like you. Have you plenty of money?" "sufficient she assured mm. And I'm no kid. I'm aa self-re liant as vou are. I can take car of myself." "That's all you Know sdoui tu be said, his voice gruff with re strained emotion. "When I think of some of the things that can and do happen in this country . , . Well, it's on the knees of the gods I guessl I don't know whether my own credentials as member of the government or Shani Lun will rate me a toss into prison or a bid to the palace. You can never tell the mood of these nettv tvrants. If things go right with you, make for Chuka which is lust across tne ooraer. "Thanks. Anything I can do for you when I arrive there?" "If you hear in juggea you might notify the Prince of Shanl Lun." Then his mood lightened. "Thia fool lama vows we'll come out of it all right so it might be just as well to believe him. Op timism is no mora stupid uian pessimism." "If as stupid." said Anne, her smile revealing the pretty girl back of the old witch make-up. His eyes caught the vision. "I suppose I shouldn't kiss vou." "My face too dirtv?" she asked mischievously, feeling safe be hind her soot. "I d risk that he grinned, but Mackey might think he was en titled to the aame privilege." Her eves widened. "And why not Turk?" "I'll call him over," he said swiftly. She caught Ms arm. "Silly, xou know I was fooling." "Its dangerous to fool with me. His expression sobered. The Prlncesa SHE laughed, a bit stirred by hit distress. She wished she knew what was in his mind. As Mackey savs, do watch your step." he pleaded softly. "I'm afraid things won't go as smooth ly as you think, and if vou should need help, for Gods take get word to me." He stepped back and let loose the donkey's bridle "Goodbye, precious one." Goodbv. the answered, her eyet suddenly filling with teart. Now she recalled the meaning of the word Rimpoche. It was good to be called precious once more. They rode along the narrow street of the bazaars; they passed through an arch by a bell tower and came into the square before the mosque where beggars and holy men lay in tne welcome sun shine. Anne did not know when Doddao left them, but as they came at last to the wall of the Emir's palace on rising ground above the river the taw that he had disappeared. Khalima knocked at an obscure gate in the wall and was ad mitted to a kitchen courtyard, donkey and all. She and her mother greeted each other warm ly and the other servants gath ered round to welcome her. They took Anne to the Princest at once. )ust as she was, opening a door into a tiled courtyard with a marble tank sunk in the center, a pine tree at one end and rote vinet climbing on it. In a rsised boudoir off the courtyard the Princess, with other ladies of the palace, sat smoking on a waler pipe passed round the circle. She was a dark- skinned, middle-aged woman with heavy lidded eyes, a little mous tache, and hair that hung in hen naed wisps about her face. Her boredom lifted at Khalima unfolded Anne'a ttory for her ear alone. She rose from the rug and motioned them to follow her into a private room. Drawing Anne to the light she rubbed a hennaed finger on hei face to expose the fair skin be neath, examined the long, slender hands and almond-shaned nails pushed back the shawl to exposr the chestnut hair. "Y'allahl You are beautiful." she said. "I will help you. My husband, the Emir, shall nol know." She clapped her hand? and servants appeared followed bv the eeven ladies of the harem, daughters and wives of the Emir Anne never did get them all htm straightened out I Te eentlnaeg On the Radio Chains STATIONS!
