Slit If In III Emir's harem, because the Princess of the Emirats promised to help her cicape to the camp ot her par en ri. In the desert. Bui there hat been trouble In Ihe court, the Emir ij about to search hie harem for hie enemlce. and Anns must be disguised, ffince her eves are like those ot the Per eian women, she teili be dtiouUed as Persian. Chapter Ten Strange Bargain A NNE gave Blaze a swift hand clasp and flipped through the floor to the harem enclosure. She joined the Princes eating her breakfast at a little table. The woman received Sherwood's message thoughtfully and asked again. "Is he in love with you?" Anne flushed. "No," sha said. "Mr. Sherwood might Jolly a girl along but I doubt if he'd fall in love where it wouldn't do any good He knows how to take care of himself." The Princess looked distaste fully at Anne's breeches and boots and shirt "The servants will bring you clothing belonging to the Persian daughter and help you prepare for the visit of the Emir." "But what If he should detect the trick," asked Anna terrified at the thought. The woman lifted her somber black eyes. "You'd better pray that he doesn't" Servants painted Anne's finger nails with an unguent made of marigolds and henna, tinted her toes and the lobes of her ears with the same fierce orange, darkened her evelida and dressed her in a flowing pale blue gar ment with a voluminous white crepe veil that gave her the ap pearance, when she walked, of a perambulating tent The Princess lined up the wo men like cattle for inspection. To Anne the orriVal seemed almost Unbearable. She was torn by mixed emotions of fear and rage. Fear that some sly sense In the tmir might detect the disguise; rage that she, an American girl, must submit to such an experi ment The other women seemed almost as nervous as Anne. Suddenly their chattering ceased. The Emir stood at the entrance to the court. He came across the tiled floor and walked down the line, teetering on spind ly legs as he stopped here and there, slapped one girl's face for no reason that Anne could fathom and then paused before His fersian daughter. For a moment Anne thought she saw sly triumph and knowl edge in his rheumy eyes. He made a remark to her in a rasping voice. She could only bow. un able to understand or to answer Dim. Then he passed cn. The Princess informed her afterwards he had merely said "Good eyes," so her bow had been Quite all right "He tells me he has decided to honor the man who saved his life with the hand of one of his daughters. He feels it will pro mote friendliness between himself and the government of Shanl Lun. Anne began to laugh: she was still a bit wrought up. "Does he think Mr. Sherwood would accept turn a gui7 "One does not refuse gifts from the Lmir if he values his life. "Oh," gasped Anne. Presently she said. "It might be a good Idea to send that information to Mr. Sherwood. Where would he be expected to take the girl if he married nerr "To Shanl Lun, by the way of Chuka." Anne's eyes began to shine. "Which daughter is to be given him?" she asked In a muted voice. "He has left the choice to me." Anne caught her hand. "Oh, Princess, don't you see this is my chance to escape Let me be the daughter who marries him. I'm sure Dr. Sherwood is willing to do this thing for me." The Princess picked up a long, loosely wrapped cigarette to which a servant held a coal. She looked at Anne through narrowed lids. "What would he gel out of It?" "Why why " Anne stam mered and stopped. "His psy would be the tatufm-tl nn nf hair ing done a noble deed a deed of chivalry." "What does chivalry mean?" "It means disinterested service to the weak or oppressed." Note To Blase THE Princess shook her head. 1 "The love of Allah might cause a man to deal nobly with another man, for men have souls but wo men, like animals, must earn their right to live. If this man is will ing to take you in preference to another girl it is because you ere desirable to him." Anne thought, "in comparison with these pathetic native girls. I probably am." Aloud shs said, "just help me get a message to bim. She wrote her note excitedly, an incoherent mess, the felt, and added that if a native wedding ceremony made legal complica tions native law also made di vorce for him extremely easy; he reed merely to make a declara tion before witnesses. The Prin Ccm had told her so. Several hours later an answer tame from Sherwood: A very nice proposal my first but don t you over anticipate mentioning di- BAKER CO. VETOES UTILITY DISTRICT Baker, Ore., May 29 iT) The proposed creation of a peo ple's utility district in Baker county was snowed under by a vote of virtually three to one in an election held Tuesday, The vote was 808 for and 2383 against AVvfierr KrrW vorceT You may find me In dispensable. However. I'm yours on any terms, and whatever you say goes. The Emir is a dirty dog. I'll be ?lad when we can get away rom here. Rush the cere mony. Blaze "We must be careful and do things properly lest we rouse the Emir's suspicions," the Princess warned her. "There will be no usual feast or holiday because of the attempted assassination last night You are to marry at dawn in the morning and slip away quietly. There is a feeling here against white men. even when they save the life of the ruler." That night brought a terrific storm lightning, wind, rain, a minor earthquake shock. In the morning clear skies returned. The wedding ceremony was held before the Emir's platform throne on which he sat in all his magnificence. The magistrate, the mullah, the bridegroom and Mac key as witness standing below. The scribe was seated at a small table. Anne. In her voluminous white veils, stood at one side in front of the other women who were looking out curiously from the black tents of their more com monplace clothing. She saw Macker gaze at her attentively. He turned to Sher wood and sooke aloud In the se curity of a language unknown to the audience, while waiting for the scribe to arrange hi pa pers. "What if they've switched brides on you. Blaze?" "Shut up," growled Sherwood, but he gave her a swift stance of apprehension, for he knew that anything could happen in this country. Mackey grinned and SDoke again to Anne this time though he keot his raze on the floor. Miss Anne, vou see his distress Do you wish to reassure the bridegroom?" He lifted his head and winked at her. Anne caughl the SPSture and knit still. Sev. eral of the girls behind her took the wink to themselves and tit tered. "Watch out or you'll have a bride on your hands." Sherwood warned him. "Sweet serpents," m u 1 1 e r e Mackey. "She doesn't answer. They've probably given you a chunky maiden with her front teeth missing." Married CHERWOOD'S lips tightened but J otherwise he showed no reac action. Mackey continued In the same plaintive tones. "Those wo men remind me of a flock of black cats on a fence at midnight Nothiug alive but their shining eyes." The scribe was ready. The magistrate asked questions. Anne learned afterwards. What was her dowrv? The scribe wrote the list the Emir called. Rugs, per fumes, iewels. brlcs of silk, a castle in the desert Then Sherwood was asked what property he bestowed on the bride. Ho looked nonplussed for a moment. Then magistrate kindly explained that he must enumer ate the gifts to prevent an in fringement of the dower riahta of other wives. This brought an unexpected hoot of hilarity from niacKey who managed to turn it into a coughing fit. "I can't think of anvthlne." stammered Sherwood. "I've a few American government bonds and some oil stock that's pretty good." "That doesn't mean anything to these people," interrupted Mac key in English. "Bestow upon her your diamond stuuded pocket knife, your silver key ring and your golden pickaxe. Who ever heard of an archaeologist with. out a pickaxe?" Sherwood mumbled anmrthlne that the scribe wrote down. The mullah chanted a blessing. And while the witnesses were signing papers the Princess led Anne to an adjoining room. "Wait here." she said. H h. the right to see you before he takes you away." She left as a curtain was drawn aside and SherwnoH stepped into the room. He stared at rtnne a moment and then came forward. Macker had me eolne them for a while. Then I was told to come in here and look you over ana see it you came up to specifi cations. He threw back her veil "Not such a homely face when the paint comes off." "But I have a mole." she con fessed, entering the game. "Where?" he demanded Indig. nantly. "On my left shoulder blade." He put an arm around her and pressed his fingers against hei back. "Here?" "About." "Now, have you anv good points? Have you dimpled knees?" "I'm not that fat," she repudi ated indignantly. "All riuht with me." he hastl- ly assured her. "Snv 'ah'" She compiled. He nodded. "Tongue pink as a pepper. You'll do." He put his other arm around her and stood looking at her foi a moment in silence. "Why don't you want me to kls vou?" he ajked gentlv. She began to tremble. "I don't know. Mavbe it's this horrible place we're In." He stepped back and took her hand. "Let's go." "I must change first to a black traveling veil." He left her.
