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.
