laughed.

they came to the end of the can

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 riders followed Immediate

over to the carriage as Sherwood
helped Anne down.
"Sweet serpents." he moaned.
"Piloting these ships of the desert

when you said that my brains

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

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

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

I wish they had been, he re
torted fervently. "I'd like to take

"What's going to happen to us?"
she inquired.

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
