U in a spot. Slit If In III Emir's

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

Anns must be disguised, ffince
her eves are like those ot the Per

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.

for and 21105 against, as compar
