She and the two men who were taking her to her father's detert camp havt been rasrucd, but Blaze Sherwood and Pele Afackev, tc men, are beiny taken ae pruonerj to the mtr. Anne hai been emua pled away, however, to the Prin eeu in the emir's palace, and the ' Princess has aareed to imtipole her out again and lend her to her friende. Chapter Kin Harem Life KHALIMA brought up her trav eling case. Servants carried in large brass bread basin and filled it with warm, rote-scented water. Anne soaped and scoured and cold creamed and finally brushed her teeth with salt and charcoal, before a giggling and de lighted audience. More ruga were placed on the tiled floor, atrewn with little tablet for dishes and with bol sters on which to recline. Girls brought In the evening meal saf fron toup in which pieces of chicken floated, rice and mutton, thin sheets of bread and rote-leaf jam, sweet cakes and lumps of colored sugar, cheese, pale pink tea, and jugs of tour milk. Anne lay back on her bolster and discovered the thing seemed stuffed with turnips instead of feathers. But she was so tired that after the meal the took a nap while the other women tmoked their water pipe. When she woke up at sundown, the small opium pipes with porce lain bowls and wooden stems were brought in. Girls rolled the sticky pellets above fragments of glowing charcoal and passed them around. Anne shook her head; the nauseating smell was enough for her, "I have peace and Joy without It," she told the Princess. "Will you send me across the border in the morning?" The Princess nodded. One languid girl was playing a tambourine accompaniment to a strange, high pitched song. An other looked at the pictures in a fashion magazine Anne had found in her suitcase. Two othert were bickering. The whole outfit re minded her of children, laughing easily, quarreling easily and cuff ing the serving women who dared not strike back. "So this dreary round of know nothing, do nothing, go nowhere is harem life," thought Anne. She wondered if Sherwood and Mackey were in prison. Slit told the Princess about them. "Are you in love with the treas ure hunter?" the lady asked. "Certainly not," said Anne flushing. "I hardly know the man." "Good. For he will die. My husband wants that treasure. He kills white men who hunt for it" "He wouldn't dare kill Mr. Sherwnod," Anne cried. "The Kowerful Prince of Shani Lun Is is friend." "The Emir rules. When foreign governments enquire he says I know nothing of such a man." She rose. "But come with me. One thing may happen." The Shot THEY ascended a stairway lined with mirrors and crossed a large room ttrewn and hung with carpets, to a latticed balcony overlooking the Emir's hall of audiepce. A crowd of men were as sembled. Anne taw the influence nt India and Persia and China in the gorgeously colored garments they wore, aome dressed in jack ets and voluminous trousers, others in embroidered gowns and a few wore jewelled turbans. A dinner jacket and an aviator's uniform came into her line of vision. Sherwood and Mackey did not look like prisoners to Anne. She recognized the host, a small emaciated man, by the thronelike platform on which he sat. He called Sherwood to him and they seemed to talk politely. In the meantime the other men were eating or smoking and watching the dancing boys garbed In lacy head-dresses and full silk trousers, and red Turkish slip pers. Suddenly a revolver shot rang nut. It looked for a moment as if Sherwood had attacked the Emir and knocked him down. In an other part of the room men were struggling and striking at a hid den figure. Then a body dripping from stab wounds was carried out. This man had fired the shot and Sherwood, in pushing the Emir over, had saved his life. "The Sherwood luck still holds," thmight Anne. The Princess turned awav and put a hand to her face, overcome by emotion. Presently she looked lip. "We hae failed again," she said. "Now there will be more sorrow and suffering In the land." Anne stared at her w th widening rye. So the Princess had known ne snot would be lire" Perhaps harem life isn't such a do-nothing life after all, she thought When they returned to the wo man's apartment they found Kha lima there, waiting to bid Anne goodby. She was returning home with a night-traveling caravan that had already passed through the city gates. Anne was tempted to return with her. half sick at the thought of being left in this palace where Intrigue and sudden death were mated with a life so dull and pointless that the opium pipe was required to make It bear able. But then, she realized, re turning to the desert was not es cape. They slept pn mattresses on in floor without undressing, wrap ping themselves individually like cocoons in gay heliotrope ana orange quilts. At daybreak a servant girl rushed in with news that a guard had been placed round the palace No one entered or left except under strict watch. There had been street fighting during the night down along the water front The Princess rose, brushed at the wrinkles in her garments and went out. Anne put on the riding clothea she had worn under her old woman rags. Somehow, this nearest approach to masculine garb gave her a feeling of courage and security. The Princest returned and spoke In a troubled voice. "You cannot leave the palace now, nor are you safe here. It has been dis covered the assassin had a lister among the harem servants. She was thrown from the tower an hour ago. The Emir personally will Inspect the rest of us." "What can I do?" cried Anne. "Where can 1 hide?" The woman was silent for a moment "There is no place to hide. Last night my husband's eldest daugh ter went out to meet a lover. She has not been able to return. You might take her place. She has Per sian eyes and the Emir is not ob servant" "But if he discovered th de ception he would kill me." ''Not kill you. Eventually he might sell you. At present he is curious about Western women. Last year he taw a moving pic ture, the only one that hat ever come to our court." The woman looked at Anne with puzzled eyes. "Ail What strange lives you American girls lead. Dancing in men's arms, bathing with them, kissing them before you're mar ried." "Let me become an old woman again," Anne begged. "It is tht safest disguise." "My husband Is causing the city te-be aearched for the Tibetan lama and his old mother. He hat also heard of the young white wo man who disappeared from the village of Yani in the storm. The white men are kept in the palace grounds, I do not know why." "If only I could talk to them," Anna urged. The woman considered a mo ment 'The tall one walks alone in th garden beside the river," she said. "There is a little door through the wall of the kitchen court. But if the Emir's servants should catch you " Blaze "I'LL take my chances," said Anne. Seeing her aviation hel met among her possessions she put it on, and followed the Prin cess to th designated door, stepped through and flattened herself against the wall to take bearings. Leafy fruit trees hid her from th other part of th palace. At the foot of a row of peach trees Gregory Sherwood stood looking across the river. She gave a low whistle. He turned, taw her and came up swiftly. She stepped into a summer pavilion heavily laced with grape vines. "Anne," tie whispered, catch ing her hands In glad aurpriso. "Because of these clothes you wear, I thought at first you were Mackey, though I left him sound asleep. How goes it?" She told him and asked: "What are your prospects?" "I don't know." he confessed. "The Emir admits that I saved his life and declares that he's ex ceedingly grateful, but he won't let ua leave. Says he must first give me a sufficient reward. The old devill Instinct led me astray last night. I should never have pushed him out of the path of that bullet." Tears threatened Anne't eyes. It was so good to hear this dear, delightful banter again. "Will any of us escape alive? "We're bound to." h assured her. "You might ask your Prin cess If there is anything that I can do for her and her son. He's a fugitive right now conspiring against his father. Tell her I apol ogize for saving the Emir's life last night. And Anne, should an opportunity com for me to help you " "You've helped me already," she confessed, ''my spirit at least" withdrawing her hands from hit clasp, a bit abashed by his steady scrutiny of her face. He shook his head. "I mad a terrible mistake not kissing vou that time. Shall I be such a fool again?" He had her In his arms. After a moment's surrender she broke away sharply, incensed at herself as well as at him. "We must stop playing like this," ah cried. "Why when it takes us to par adise?' She refused to succumb to hi spell again. Suddenly they heard th patter of bare feet Anne turned her back and stood there, head down, tense as a game bird. Sherwood had stepped to the opening and kept Hie servant outside the pa vilion. They talked; on voice deep, virile, decisive, the words sharply clipped, the other gentle as the chatter of timid morning birds. Anne didn't know if she was seen or not Sh barely breathed. The man left and Sherwood re turned. Anne atared at him for moment white faced. T be eBlinae4 The immigration of Jewuh eeltlen In Palestine hat reached the rate ol 1,000 moqtti.
