PAGE EIGHT ( w ftr. YtSTERDAY: In order to ft rape the Emir o yanomr, who haj e nuty way with white t ta ilors to the Mongolia derert, Anns Wlllard has married Blase Sherwood by nolle ceremony. Blaie had saved the emir's life, end wife was hie reward. Now they have eel out. oteiuibly to the raitle that was ruppoied to have been Anne'e dowry; actual ly they hope to reach the deiert camp o Anne'e parent. Chapter 11 New Trap PRESENTLY they were ipeed lng across the desert behind galloping white horses followed by Mackey and several armed outriders on racing camels. Said Anne, "From the way the women in the harem wailed when ! left you'd think this was a funer al instead of a wedding." "You may be right," said Sher wood in a troubled voice. "Some thing has gone wrong." "What do you mean?" she asked quickly recalling the Princess' tears at their parting. Her grief had been excessive. "While you were changing Into this black traveling robe I went out Into the street where the car riage waited. A crowd naa coi WtpH an usual. Among them ap peared Doddap, still free, though the authorities were combing the city for him. He told me that the Emlra Persian daughter had been accidentally killed in the rioting of the night before, her body Identified and the fact concealed by order of her father. Anne was too stunned at first to comprehend, and as the truth finally dawned on her ahe cried; "Then he Knew i was an un poster!" Sherwood nodded. "But the Princess wasn't aware of his knowledge." "Not at first You apeak of the wailing In the harem last night." "They knew last night and wouldn't tell?" "It looks that wav." "The Princess let me give her all my money. She began crying when she took it . . . said I wouldn t have use for It any more. I thought that was strange so I explained I was doing it because I felt grateful and would bt with my parents tonight" "The Emir has also discovered that vou're the Birl to whom the priest gave the sacred dagger of Shy-a Nago. He d rather have tnat treasure than his present throne." "Then why did he let me go. and let me keep the dagger? Grat itude to you?" "Hardly." said Sherwood with a mirthless laugh. "I can't conceive of a spark of gratitude in his cor rupt carcass. I've always dis trusted him. He let that dagger to because he'a afraid of it He has a wholesome respect for Na eara oronhecv." "But If Nagara prophecy aays the man who marries me is en tilled to the daeaer " "He considered that, the lama tells me, but decided it was no good. "Thank heavens," murmured Anne devoutly. "No wonder I have been feeling depressed and didn't know why. The carriage stopped at t serai for a change of hcrses. Anne drew her veil serosa her face. Mackey rode up beside them. He waa in high spirits. "Did you get the one you bar gained for?" he asked. "Bargained for?" Anne de mended, lifting her clear wine- fa mwn eves. "Didn't he tell you?" Mackey oueried. "The princess came to him. 'Will you bargain to marry the white cirl?' she asked." "Msckey," Sherwood objected, but his friend went on. "Blaze lust about swallowed his tongue trying to ssy "yes ma am ouick enough. They bargained and she promised to put a bug in the Emirs ear recommend that he award the fellow his Persian daughter in marriagi "Along with a castte in the desert." Interrupted Sherwood "What did he mean by that? I'd understand a castle in the moun tains or in an oasis." No Secret f ACKEY put up a hand to stop him and went on with his story, "and she promised to sub stitute you for the dusky gal if this same fellow would promise to deliver a shipment of arms to a certain station on the border when he arrives In Shani Lun." "Well." gasped Anne. "Then." Sherwood laughed, "she gave me your note. She's some schemer." "Note? What note?" demanded Mackey. "You never showed me anv note?" "Can't a bridegroom have any secrets from you?" his friend de manded. "Bridegroom! You're no bride groom. You're Just a means of es cape. If I'd knocked the Emir down I'd be riding in the carriage now instead of on this overgrown Jackrahhit." He bent towards Anne. "Miss Willard, I take it for granted you want me to hang muna as caperon Keep things respectable like ..." "Naturally," ahe said, her eyes danemg. "I see." he grinned, taking ad- vantage of her answer. "Don't trust him eh? Has he been" "Pete Marker." she pleaded laughingly. "Will you please stop this teasing' How soon will we reach Chuka?" "By mid-afternoon at the rate we're going." He put his hand to Closing time for Too Late to else- If J Ada la 1 SO p m JUST . . . 13 Shopping Days until Father' Day STORE rOR MEN - wwer Hm his hat The hones were ready. The driver mounted and they struck off with a bound. A canyon opened up Deiore them and led down to a river bed containing a flow of water muddy from the storm of the night be fore. Does Pete know that you spoke with the lama?" Anne asked. "You saw he was so busy tarn Ing that I didn't have a chance to tell him. But if we're on the right road maybe there's nothing to worry about and the Emir has good reasons for sending us safely along." She was aware however that he aian i Deueve me aug ment The horses had slowed to a trot and then to a walk as boulders and fresh slides made the road all but impassable. "I wonder if I could take off thli hot robe?" said Anne restlessly. "What are you wearing under neath?" Sherwood demanded, fan ning her with his helmet She laughed. "The tweed I wore In the airplane." "It may be a shock to our driver and footman to see the Emir's daughter expose her face and emerge in American clothing." "Do you care?" "Not at all. But before he helped her remove the garment he looked back for Mackey and received a reassuring shout and wave of the hand from among the mounted men. "Since the Emir knows," he still debated, "can there be anv harm In letting these men know?" "Perhaps they know already," Anne suggested. He leaned forward to speak to them and received respectful an swers. "They know who you are," he said presently, reaching an arm across her shoulder to help re move the garment. "And they've given me some new information. They declare that the Nagara tribesmen are pledged to avenge you should you be this sounds rather gruesome but the word they used was 'murdered'. So it apneara that you're pretty safe." "But you're still worried." she accused. "Doddap was crying when he left me todav. He implied though, that I would find my reward in heaven which is really longer than I wish to wait" he ended with that engaging smile of his. Friendly Enemies SHE laughed and allowed his charm to have its way with her now that they were about to part "Tell me more of Doddap'a prophecy." "when he first began to aee you In his visions and to tell me you were coming he vowed that if I'd go to you, just stay in your vicini ty, put myself in the hands of the 'Invisible One' as he worded it; make no plans, simply carry out each day whatever activity came to hand, then fate would give me the right to explore and preserve Shy-a Nago." In spite of herself Anne felt stirred. "Do you believe it?" "I don't seem to believe any thing until I experience it But I was so desirous of such an ulti mate fate that as I told you be fore, I performed the initial act of faith flew to Jus Masor that Saturday and found you there as he had predicted I would. You can Imagine my emotions." They were passing close to the water's edge with the river less turbulent here In preparation for a falls below. A pair of Mandarin ducks lit on the stream and went swimming about like a little team held together by an invisible harness. Anne leaned forward to look at them across Sherwood. "Symbol of conjugal felicity, ac cording to the Chinese," said he. "A fine omen for us." "Do you talk like this to all the girls?" she asked plaintively. He shook his head. "Only those I marry." She glanced at htm with shrewd amusement "Would you give up your association with the Govern ment of Shani Lun for me?" "Sorry," he said, looking straight ahead. "Or your idea that an American museum should not carry away the relics of Shy-a Nago?' "Afraid not" She looked at her stained finger nails distastefully. "I told the Princess that you can take awful ly good care of yourself where a girl is concerned." "I can take darned good care of the right girl. too. Don't you want me to be that way?" "Of course I do. I admire people who can take care of themselves, know what they want out of life and go after it." He turned and rested an arm along the back of the seat "WoUd you give up your par ents for me?" "Why do you ask that?" "A wife is supposed to give up her father and mother and brothers and sisters and cleave to her husband." "A girl is supposed to marry a man who can get along with her parents. Besidrs. you're not mt husband." she flushed lightly. "1 didn't sign any papers." "Women aren't supposed to be able to write in this benighted country. Nor have they the right or divorce. "1 wish." she murmured, "that I knew what vou are really think- ing back of all these idle words." "He gave her a swift glance. "Smart girl." he commented. "truth Is. I'm afraid if I don't watch out I'll fall in love with you. She laughed gully, quoting Fletcher, "Tell me dearest what is Love?" iBLACK TOM DAMAGE IS PAID ey Philadelphia. May 30.
