Blaze 5hrtoood and Pet Sfaclcey, are eseaptno from She court of tfte wicked fmir. Blaze hatrino married Anne in order to accomplish, it all. But actually the three of them fear they have been tricked by the Emir, although none Is rure. They are gallop ing over the desert, talking to Jceep up their courage Chapter It Trapped t ANNE put up hand to stop ' him. you know all the sn- awer, don't you?" Then her tone changed. "We'll toon be parting ana I want you to know that 1 m grateful to you (or rescuing me. "And I'm srateful to you.1 emphasized. "Imagine an arch' aeoloeist seriously married to i harem beauty." They both laughed. A aharp turn In the road and they came to the end of the can yon and nw before them a great depression stretcning wide and barren as far as the eye could see. Under a cliff at the right, beside a SDring and a ooolar tree In full leaf, was a tent flying the colors of the fcmtr of Xangsar. The coachman drove up and (topped. - "Lunch time." said Sherwood. noticing the furnishings of the tent He looked at the sun. 'tarty lunch time. The riders followed Immediate ly. Mackey rolled from his kneel ihg camel and came crippling over to the carriage as Sherwood helped Anne down. "Sweet serpents." he moaned. "Piloting these ships of the desert Is terrible business. I eouldni manage her ailerons or read her instrument board. She wabbled all over the map." He looked at the tent, uo we dine in stylel I euess you were right. Blaze. when you said that my brains and your luck and Miss Willard's charm would get us out of this. Anne laughed llghtheartedly and led the way Into the carpeted tent with its low tables and hard bolsters. The cook and his men served soup made of rice and al monds and camel milk. They served lamb roasted before the open Are and with It sour milk and oaten bread. There was tea and sweet cakes and candied gin. ger. Anne and Mackey were in oar tlcularly high spirits all through the meal Sherwood laughing with them but not saying much of his own accord. At last Mackey lit his pipe and leaned back on his bolster pointing to the scene In front of the tent. "Spread out before us is the Bekkan Depression, he began like a professional guide, "it's so wide that we cannot see the mountains on the farther side, so God-for-saken that even wild goats shun it Salt marshes, quick sands, and miles and miles of yel low brown clay as barren as the craters of the moon. "I've seen It from the other side, said Sherwood, turning to Anne, a lew miles below the Slace where your father's camp established. All that country including the Bekkan Bula mountains, is disputed territory. The Chinese claim it Shanl Lun claims it Our host, the Emir of Yangsar would like to claim It "The Chinese claim must be the best," murmured Anne. "There is a detachment of Chin ese troops protecting our dig." He glanced at her sharply. "Is that true?" "I thought you knew every thing." she smiled. "Not quite," he grinned. She wondered if she'd done wrong In making that revelation. "What are your plans when you reach Chuka?" she asked Mackey. "Maybe I'll go north and prop osition the Chinese Governor for a pilot's job. He hasn't a plane, but he ought to have one." "Why don't you try Shanl Lun?" asked Sherwood. Mackey leaned towards him, eyes shining. "Do you think there's a chance?" he cried. "Why not? The Prince Is a white man. He likes to have fel lows like you around. I'll write you a note for him now." He took paper and fountain pen from his pocket Suspicion ANNS sst watching them, feel ing a trifle lonely and out of it In the midst of all this plan ning. Their lives had been revolv ing around hers, and wera now moving away. "What are your plans?" she asked Blare. He handed Mackey the note and put away his pen. "I have no plans," he smiled back, "remember? I live each day as it comes." Anne and Mackey stared doubtfully at his lean dark face with Its look of self-discipline be low the teasing grey eyes. "That," remarked Anne, "sounds like the apposite of knowing what you want In life and going after It or does It?" "From what I have seen most people get in their own way by planning and scheming, I've a hunch that if a man will be faith ful to his objective life will work out the plan." "He may mean It." she thought, a bit stirred as always by the id-a. The men were hitching three gurgling racing camels to the carriage. "They must Intend to travel fast from now on." Sherwood re marked. Anne and Mackey fol lowed him to the opening of tha tent and stood beside him. He told Mackey of his talk with Dod dap. Mackey nodded towards the gash in the plain where the river ran. "Cheer up. Well soon be free. That jumble of polea you see farther down is the bridge where we cross into Chinese territory. Once past it we're on our own. I hope the bridge is in repair. They never mend a bridge in this country until it collapses and kills a man or animal." A postillion mounted the mid dle cameL The driver climbed to his seat, the footman bowed to his passengers. Anne took her place in the carriage followed by Sherwood and called back to Mackey; "I suppose they'll test the bridge with us and if we survive you riders may cross." "They'll probably have You drive the camels over - alone," Mackey Jested in return. "I've heard of the natives making such ua of a woman." He would have mounted and ridden at their side, but the captain of the troop held him back. I wonder why? Anne asked. The tall, angular beasts stretched out with increasing speed, their legs criss-crossing like animated saw-horses. Sometimes they broke into a gallop. I presume the men have been ordered to travel in a certain for mation," said Sherwood, watching an eagle that circled above them. "Look, he seems almost aa big as some of the new midget airplanes." Anne followed the bird witn her eyes. "Will we ever fly our own machine as an eagle does?" I Imagine Its all a matter of learnine how." he said. "We're slowly acquiring the wisdom of the animals, remaps man one 01 the reasons why we're here." They rode a while in silence. Suddenly they noticed- they were being carried on past the bridge they should cross, being taken deeper into Yangsar terri tory instead of out to freedom. No Bridge SHERWOOD sprang forward and caught the driver's shoulder. They spoke sharply to each other, the man whipping up his camels and continuing on his way. Sher wood seized the whip from his hand and ordered him to stop. The other man grabbed at the whip and in the struggle was knocked from his scat to the ground. He fell clear and the driver halted. Sherwood gave the command to turn back. Instead the fellow umped from the carriage puli ng the white man after him. Anne watched with dismay. The native seemed to be something of a wittier and clever enough for while to give Sherwood no chance to use his fists where they would do any good. The other native limped up and added him self to the pile. Mackey and the riders who had been some distance behind came on the run, but Sherwood had fought clear before they arrived. the driver nursing a blackeninc eye, the footman on his back, unconscious. 'Sweet serpents." howled Mae- key in delight, "can you be the guy who s surrendered to Destiny?" They're not taking us to Chu ka," barked Sherwood. High waters wrecked tha bridge, they tell me. We've got to go round. The river sinks into the ground some distance ahead." 1 don t believe It. Mackey looked back up the river. "Maybe you're right," he said tersely. The rest of the con versation was continued In Turkl with the native men. Presently Mackey and the captain of the soldiers swung back up the road to examine the bridge. Sherwood revived the fallen footman and gave the driver an American silver dollar to hold on his eye. "They re right said Mackey returning. "One end of the bridge hanging in mid air. Sherwood washed his hands from the water skin and took his place beside Anne. "The Captain may have known that the bridge was down but the driver didn't is orders were to go the way we re going." Well, now that you ve got me thoroughly worried what are you going to do about it?" Inquired Mackey. "Nothing." answered Sherwood. his head Jerked back by the sud den start of their camel. Mackey and the ridera dropped behind again. "Your certainly a whirlwind hen you get started." said Anne. If the other natives had been ofl their camels" I wish they had been, he re torted fervently. "I'd like to take command of this expedition my- If." "What's going to happen to us?" she inquired. Me shrugged. Thats on ths nres of the gods." 1 hey pushed on steadily, deep er and deeper into the desert all through the long afternoon. A man on a camel had appeared far ahead of them and he kept far ahead but always In sight as if he might be leading the party. "He doesn't look exactly real." said Anne. "Could he be a mirage nr a phantom?"
