AWIer HkM YESTERDAY: Tor many daw Ann H'illard and Btaia Sher wood, marooned in the Astatic dncrt, hai on slowly turv ing. But now their companion, Pttt Mackv, li back in plan and they art sa. The odd thing i Ihat Anna had thought Pete dead, and that hla return hat puzzled her almoet at much as it hoe made her JoyuL Chapter 18 Sherwood Cone - ULAZE might have known that - no desert could atop me." he crumbled. "I told him I'd be back in aiz daya and becauae I took eight waa no cause for him to give up hope." "You told him what when" fhe stammered, and aat down ouicklv. He droDDed down beside her offering her a chocolate bar and a flask of milk. She ahook her head. "I aeem to have loit the habit Tell m "But you're itarvlng." He tore oS the paper covering of the chocolate. "Am I?" She nibbled at the aweet Indifferently and aipped the milk. "Tell me about that night" "You mean after your llghta went out and Blaze aat tiiere weak'ai a tipsy turkey? Didn't he tell you about it? "Not a word." aha laid. "Well, It waa kind of grue some, be began reluctantly. had the gun, you know and the fellow fought that soldier who waa left to watch the camp a while longer after the othera had one. So I traded coals with him he had a fine new khalat and I took him off and buried him be fore I went I figured "But why didn't Blaze tell me this? Anne asked piteously. "Aa I said, it waa bloody, and I guess he wanted to aave you the horror. Maybe I ahouldn't be mentioning it now," he recol lected hastily, persisting in his belief that she referred to the killing of the soldier. Evidently Blaze had not Informed him that he had let her think the soldier's grave was Mackey a. She caught his arm. "Tell me everything that happened that night after my lights went out as you word it." "That's about all." he protested. "I buried the fellow before I left I had his camel and all his equip ment and a straight road to Shani Lun aa the camel flies, if only I had sense enough to keep from getting lost You know the rest Blaze and I talked it over. We figured aix daya at the most would get me back here. "Say, I must get busy. I've i eouole houra work on the Diane.1 He looked into the tent "I'll pack Blaze's stuff first. He said for me to bring it to him after I take you to your father's camp. He doesn't know how long he'll be in Hami sent you aomething." Mackey began searching througb his pockets and brought out a folded envelope, handed it to her and went into the .ent to pack. "I'll get larger plana and come pack lor tnese aweu rugs and bales of silk." he called. She only half heard him. Intent on opening the missive from Blaze. A leaf from a notebook was wrapped around a little tack of gold pieces. Anne let them drop as if they were live coals and hastily read the note. It was short without beginning or ending and written so swiftly as to be barely legible. Sorry I can't see you again. No time to spare. Needed in the capital at once. Will write later. Guard the dagger. Do as Pete tells you. Love. Blaze. New Desertion SHE could not believe It at first Money and the casual state ment will write later. What did he think the monev would do? What had he told Pete Mackey? She looked up. Mackey stood in the opening of the tent "Will you please come pack that dagger? he asked, and then add ed, "I hardly had a word with Blaze none private. Ana he was frantic to get away. Something about Shy-a Nago. Frantic to get away! Something about the treasure cityl She tared at him blankly. What did it mean? What was Blaze try ing to do to her now that they had been rescued? But then she suddenly realized he had known all along that they would most likely live. He had kept s'.ill and let her draw her own conclusions even to the be lief that death was inevitable for th'm. How amusing it must have hern to watch her despair her aurrender. Anne rose and stood gazing at the distant mountains. Life must still be lived. Pete waa her to her father s camp. She was the same girl she had been before she met Blaze Sherwood. She was till her parents' daughter on her first commission to share their work. Blaze had given her back to herself with a bang. She was her own woman again. He had eMved her problem in regard to loyalty to her parents. Her glance returned to Pete vho had continued to regard her with his curious, livelv eyes. "What happened to your plane?" she asked. "Nothing much. A few wires napped. "Hardly. Til have It repaired In a couple of houra." She went into tne tent ana flicked up the dagger from where t lay on i bale of silk, recalling how Blaze had refused to touch t more inviolate than her per son. Pete went to the plane and re turned with his hands full of oranges. ' bat some or tnese ana taice a nap while I work on the ship," he begged. She found that the food did make her drowsy, but first she wrote a note to Sherwood on the back of his own message and placed it with the gold in the tame envelope. "i eem to bring bad luck." "You're under no obligation to me," she wrote, "I agree with you love is unbound if this were love. The fact that I thought Pete dead and you knew he lived and yet kept still, Is, I suppose, just another way of surrending to Destiny. Anne. When Mackey was ready he promised, "I'll have you with your mother In twenty minutes, ana he added with a smile, " there'll be no wreck this time." He helped her to her place and took his, turning to her a trifle em barrassed: "By the way, what shall we tell the people at your camp?" "As little as possible," (he re plied, handing him the note for Sherwood and fastening the col lar of her coat anugly about her throat "I am ready to go." He nodded and vet took time to (ay, "I forgot to tell you that the lama got a message tnrougn to Shani Lun the aame day I ar rived. So we'd have been rescued anyhow." She managed a faint smile and met his eyes. "Nevertheless you're still a hero." 'Something tells me you're one too and Blaze. I'm proud of all of us. I only wish Seeing her expression, he made a little ges ture of helplessness and started the motor. Philip Oliver RAPIDLY they approached the foothills leading to the tower ing Bekkan Bula peaks, spied the little Cottonwood grove and wil low fringed spring beside which thi Expedition's camp was situ ated. They circled a couple of times and sat down on the bare space between the living quartera and the dig where men were working. People came running from all directions. Two white women darted out from the big mess hut in the center of the camp which waa laid out like a circular vil lage of reed huts interspersed with Mongolian felt yurtas sur rounding a courtyard with a few Cottonwood trees in the center. The women were dressed alike in khaki field clothing. "One's mother." thought Anne with lifting heart, "and the other must be Beth Huff. But Diana Martaine should at least be stand ing in the doorway looking bored and beautiful." Except for Philip Oliver, Anne had never met the members of het father's itaff in this present ven ture. She knew Dr. Martaine and Larry Huff and their voung wives only through her mothers let ters and the snapshot pictures that had been sent her. She had looked forward to meeting Beth Huff, the fiery little girl who fit into the lite so pericclly according to re port, and she was fanklv curious about Diana Mavtmne. Diana was the daughter of the wealthy man who financed the expedition. "Why she should push her hus band and herself into this Ex pedition il a mystery to me," Mrs. Willard wrote. "She's a con firmed flirt and belongs on the slave, rather than in an archaeol ogists' dig. She makes passea at ail the men including your fa ther. But young Larrv Huff seems to be taking her seriously. How ever, his wife's red-headed so I know it will turn out all right" Philip Oliver came forward and caught Anne's hands and kissed her quickly the first kiss he had ever given her. Their courtship was a letter aitair. To Anne's surprise one of the women in khaki proved to be Beth, the other Diana. Nor had her father appeared with the men. "Where are father and mother?" he asked. "With the Nagaras," anwered Philip. "Didn't you know that?" Anne's heart sank. She told them ot the note she had received from her father. "Are they held prisoners" She remembered Sherwood had hinted at such a thing. "In a way," Philip admitted. They're held until you bring the dagser." Larrv Hurt ex- taking 1 Plained. He was a blond young and twinkling blue eves. "I don't think It's anything to worTy about " "Will they he brought home now?" she persisted. 'The trilemen will come and take vou to them, as we under stand it." Philip Interrupted, "Where have you been all this time. Anne?" "We had a wreck." .i!d Anne. 'This Is the same nlot though we come in an enemv plane." She introduced Pete Mackey and was (introduced to the olii-r. On the Radio Chains STATIONS!
