T PACE EIGHT MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY. JUNE 3, 1941. by Rita, TtSTtRDAT: Ann Wlllard. Blast Shtrwood and Pelt Mackey thought thty had escaped tht Emit and btrt Olt their way to tht desert camp of Ann' par nu. Bui now thty art hoi lura but what tht Emir hat tricked them,- the only thing thty could think of to da In tht descried spot thty find themselves in teat to take a rwtm, and they ara doing that. Chapter 14 Stuffed Olivet ""HE bright, unearthly moon- light did strange things to them, cast exotic shadows about their eyes and the planes of their heads and bodies. "Just who are wa and Just where ara we?" queried Anne, as sh stood wet and shining before the curtain of the talis. Mackey gave her one look and turned and trudged off down to the Are that the men had built uo extravagantly. Anne watched him, aware she should follow. "I know where we are," mur mured Sherwood, putting an arm around her as he stood at her aide. "Can t vou guess? She looked up at him and shook her head. "Don't you recognize the place? This is paradise." "And Doddap wept when he nromued vou heaven. "But we have the present." He drew her to him. "Put your arms around my neck. Her beauty-loving eyes traced the sculptured lines of his head. following the streak of while In his hair. His mouth came down on hers at first gently as if testing its wel come, then taking bold possession. When he relaxed his clasp a trifle she oushed awav from him aghast. "I must be crazy," she ..-J ON..... k.fnr. "Then it's about time." he said. his voice still gruff with emotion. and would have drawn her to him again, but she twisted free and Bed to Macxey and tne tire. Mackey brought her coat and as bherwood joined tnem re marked quizzically to him: "My Vir. i n . tur xhinn ni4 vnii, lialr "Have brought us to this.' added Anne, indicated the land scape about them and the fire be fore them in which they could tee the pieces of their carriage go ing up in flames. "If we leave here it won't be as we came." The men avoided her eyes un til Sherwood turned, bending over her. "See, a banquet is be ing set in the tent Did you bring one gorgeous dress?" Her eyes began to glow. "A (olden chiffon especially packed." "We'll hava a party," offered Mackey as his share of a gallant gesture. "You in chiffon. Blaze in a tux and me with my uniform buttons shined." Anne had trouble with tears all the time she was alone In the tent drawing on gossamer stock ings and satin underthings and finally brushing her hair to a per fect lustre. When she lifted the tent flap, the cook stood there waiting, a great platter of steam ing rice in hit hands. Dinner THEY took their places around the table on which stood scores of dishes of food, the great platter of rice, sheets of bread, meat cakes, sweet cakes, nuts, watermelon seeds, mounds of col ored sugar balls, lugs of sour milk, pots of tea, all put on the table at once. But the prize dish was the centerpiece. A bowl of American stuffed olives. Sherwood and Anne sampled them at once. Mackey made wry face. "I leave olives to lov ers." "You're a pal," said Sherwood, giving his shoulder a friendly slap, nls voice natural, but in his eyes, Anne saw, a look of tor ment. Suddenly ..e clenched his fists and rose. "Pete, isn't there something we can do? "Start a fight and get shot for our pains." "I might start a fight," sug gested Anne. 'They're afraid to murder me." She was feeling ex traordinarily alive at if her food had given her the energy of half a dozen people. The men smiled at her tender ly. Sherwood walked to the en trance and glanced out Ha re turned and took an olive. "Here'a to you," he said to Anne, and bit it in two with his strong white teeth. "What did you see?" Mackey asked. 'The soldiers are en their camels doing mounted guard dutv." They must be expecting some thing to happen." "If we could at least get hold of a gun I" "We might try entertaining thm," suggested Anne. "1 can play a mouth organ." offered Mackey, drawing one from his pocket "Well!" remarked Anne, "you've been holding out on us." "I've been a sick man. Can rou sing and dance?" "After a fashion. she admitted, and turned to Sherwood. "What's your accomplishment?" He grinned. "Given the chance. I en sr-ake a gun out of another fellow's holster like nobodv's business." He rose and propped open the tent Anne followed him. snapped her fingers snd slapped her right foot on the clav, almost as level and sleek as a dance floor. Mackey tuned uo on "Lonesome Road." directing Anne, "Now dance."

Could wa to this music?" "We can do anything wa hava to," be assured her. She ran 'into the tent and got a long striped scarf and tied it about nit waist. She felt strangely light-hearted as if she had drunk of Omar's "Cup that clears today of past regret and future fears "Don't be too rough, remember this dress." she warned him. He smiled into her eyes. "I'll be gentle," he promised, and she felt that in some obscure way he waa teasing her. "We'll try a tango next" he said. "Ready," shouted Mackey, and started the music with a flourish. One of the camels began to dance. His master made him kneel, muz zled him and sat down beside him. Sherwood whispered In Anne'a ear as he whirled her, "Wish they'd all dismount" The cook and his assistant were clearing away the table in the tent Another camel became rest less and was brought to his knees. The audience clapped when she finished. Sherwood said, "You've a very pretty kick." Mackey struck up an old waltz tune and Sherwood came over and took Anne in his arms and circled the dancing space to the slow sweet music She felt a tenseness about him as if he were holding himself under iron con trol. "Our audience believes that this is our wedding night, Anne," and he kissed her, guiding her into the tent Mackey tumbled after them and snatched close the flaps. He was trembling with excitement Then Anne saw a revolver in Sher wood's hand and remembered his drooping down by one of the sol diers several times. "Now what?" she demanded. "Nothing, I'm afraid," he said. 'The next move is theirs. Wt know only that they won't harm vou in a way that is called "mur der" in this part of the world." They hearl voices, unexcited, the grumbling of the camels as they rose and the slow shame of pad ded feet "We'll probably hear from them as soon as the fellow discovers the loss of his gun," surmised Mackey and put the harmonica to his mouth again. Anne looked longingly at the pallet in one corner of the tent and then sat down on the rug, drawing her golden, fluffy skirts ihout her. Presently she rested her head on her knees. She wat unbearably drowsy and weak. and wnen she looked up again with an effort she ssw that Sher wood's head was weaving from side to side. She thought for a moment he must be drunk. ' I ve been drugged, he mut tered, making an ineffectual effort to rise to his feet. Anne put a hand to her throat Now she knew what was the mat ter with her. Mackey slared from one to the other of them in consternation. "Those stuffed olives!" he cried suddenly. "I thought it was funny we'd hsve anything so foreign tc the country as stuffed olives: They banked on every one of us eating them. Well. I didn't He took the gun from Sherwood's nerveless hand and went out Anne managed to crawl to the pallet before she lost conscious ness. Deserted THE sun was shining warm on the tent when she woke up She rose and stumbled to the tent entrance and looked out The floor of the basin lav bare of movement except for a light Dreeze rippling the surface of the tiny lake. No man. no camel, not even the signs of their campflre naa neen leit Her swimming suit and the men's trunks hung on the tent lines where they had been thrown the night before. Then she saw Sherwood's hodv lying, face down on the path to the talis. The next thing she knew, the lay on the pallet again and some one was gently shaking her shoul der trying to waken her. She lifted heavy lids and met Sherwood's troubled grey eyes, the hair on top of his head ruffled into unkept ringlets. "You're alive and unharmed," she exclaimed with growing won der and delight." So are you." he replied as If the words wera needed to aive him conviction of the fact "1 found you lying outside and you wouldn't w aken so I let you sleep while I explored." He helped her sit uo and they rested a bit. her shoulder against his breast The tent flaps had been thrown back and they could gart out on the lonely barren land scape briflht with sunlight. Pres. ently she moved away that she might look into his fsee the more easily. He had shaved, she saw, and changed to whipcords. "What do you know?" she asked rummaging for a comb in her hag. "Only what my eves tell me. You and I are here absolutely alone. Mackey gone the natives tone the camels gone. The camel fleas gone. The lake is too salt for a shrimp to live in. Even green mold refuses to grow on the barren clay of the stream bank from the falls to the lake." "We have no food, no fuel, no cup, and no tool or weapon ex cept my safety razor and your Nagara dagger."
