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
