But not Pel Mackay has town her to their camp, and although tha man fha u moil in terested in, Blazt Sherwood, hat disappeared, tha it oreeted 6y Phil irhom iha it encaged to marry. Chapter 19 Unexpected Arrival T WAS a little difficult, meeting to many people ah had known only in her mother's letter, but it was toon over for Anne, She found Beth Huff looking happier than the had expected, Diana looking lest beautiful and more human, young Larry Huff roay of cheek and unvamped in manner, Dr. Louis Martaine color less and cold of eye. Philip teemed a bit worn, the thought, as it the responsibility of the work during her fathers absence waa proving too much for him. Pete refused to stay even long enough for a cocktail. "But Til be back In day or two," he tald with a special look for Anne, "and I'll bring the stuff the Emir gave you." 1 don't think I want It," she replied. "You may ril bring It and a letter," he added. She had noticed him looking at Philip with critical eyes. The stoop of his narrow shoulder, his fussy, nervous manner making unfavorable comparisons. "This girl hasn't had much to eat," he declared to tha others. "You'd better feed her and put her to bed." Anne felt ready for bed. An eight-day fast, and then on top of everything else the let. down of finding her parents ab sent Philip and the doctor each gave her an arm and walked her to the big tent that had been her parents living quarters, weaay It was covered with a fly of reeds in preparation for the summer's heat, one noticea a nauve aquai ting beside the door. As they ap proached he rose and bowed. "Doddap!" the gasped. "How did you get here?" "I walked," be said simply. Today?" "Today. I look after you now." "Did you come across the Bek- kan Bula Depression from Arl- shar? She saw he didn't want to talk about it, jut he answered. "I came the shortest way." "Then you passed by our camp, Doddap. We saw you.. Why didn't you stop?" "Now I look after you," he said, and that waa all she could get out of him. Diana remarked curiously, "You seem to know this man." "We met him on the desert." Anne answered and let Beth lead her into the tent. She sat down on a cot. Some one took off her shoes. Another made her com fortabla with Dillows. The Chi nese cook brought her a cup of broth, and while the drank It, Beth explained about tha lama's arrival. 'The strangest thing," she said. "Diana and I were planning a tramp down to the dig. We tteDDfd out on the porch and in the space between two of the tents we saw him striding across the desert." "What did he say?" demanded her husband impatiently. "If I heard what I think I heard, he said. 'American clrl comes through the air. She is hungry. You make soup . The others laughed again, but thev were Duzzled. "Then." Beth finished, "he walked over here and squatted down by the tent door as if he'd come home, and began gnawing on a cheese he vol 1 The doctor turned to Anne. "You spoke of meeting thia fel low on the desert." "That was more than a week ago beyond Arishar. she an awered. "But we may have seen him pass our camp this morning Doddap is a good little man. You needn't be afraid of him." She refused a second cup of broth. For a moment the talk died down. She realised they were all curious to know just what ner adventures had been. Argument TIOYV on earth did your pilot get hold of an airplane from snani L.un7 uiana asaea. Anne avoided everyone eyes "Gregory Sherwood was with us." "What! Greaorv Sherwood?" rrled Diana. Larry whistled. Philip Oliver's brow clouded. "That renegade!" "Oh, say," protested Larry, "I wouldn't go that far." "He'a a thorough scoundrel,' Philip persisted. "A scientist with any sense of ethics doesn t inter, (ere with another mail's expedi tion " Diana laughed a bit self-eon seiously. "He may be a scoundrel as a scientist, but as a man he has his points. I was once en gaged to him." Anne looked at her with a start. Beth asked, an edge to her voire. "Why didn't vou marry him?" "I changed my mind. He's the most headstrong man I ever knew In my lite." "And our enemy," laid Anne "Not mine." denied Diana. "Tha enemy of this expedi tion." Diana shrugged. "It's liVe poli tics still friends though belong ing to opposite parties." Tooth Trouble Double Kearney, Neb. U.P Three teps from the dentist' door.

"You say there were two planes, and ha went on to the Capital?" "That's what Peta told me." Then from our experience with the Chinese governor he's in jail by now. When your father interviewed him and mentioned ha might like to use an airplane for further exploration the man came close to ordering us all out of the country. He Implied that the gods, themselves, would not be allowed to fly a plane in his territory. He' forbidden u to set up or use tha radio we brought along. The dnetor rose. "We must all get out of here now and let Miss Willard rest" But tell me mora about father and mother," Anne pro tested. "What are our plana? We'll tell you later," he said firmly. "Now you must rest" The lama had taken It upon himself to raise Just the right part of the tent wall to secure DroDer ventilation. Now he crouched down outside the door snd began a low, haunting chant to the muffled accompaniment of his little drum. Anne signined that he was to be unmolested. She lay there a while, wide eyed. feeling lost and lorsaken, long ing unbearably for her parents: heart broken. Finally she drifted into sleep. Strange Prophecy ANNE remained in bed three davs. Now that she had given up she seemed unutterably weary all over. The doctor and Beth could scarcely rouse her to take food. She hated the return to con sciousness, for only in sleep did the pain leave her heart one naa not known that a person could hate and love with such violence at the same time. She called her self all Imaginable names but it did no good. Hour alter nour stow tears continued to well into her eyes. Not until Philip told her In his nervous way that no further word had come from her parents did she rouse herself. "Could something have hap pened to them?" she cried sharp ly, sitting up. It was night, the big gasoline lantern lighted. Every one had come to her tent. We really don t know much about it" he answered slowly. They ve written only once. Tell ma tha whole story, sna demanded. All right When we first csma here we opened this dig and were making some pretty good finds gold and copper objects and bur ial masks of the bronze age.

"They found petrified forestt too," said Larry, looking up from his work with a Duncn or pno toeraohic Drints. Larry was ex pedition photographer as well as paleontologist Anne began watching the oth ers in the tent. Dr. Martaine was attempting to fit together the pieces of a shattered skull he car ried in a pan. Beth helped him Diana worked at a piece of em broidery. Beth winked at Anne in regard to it. A nose? But fot whose benefit? For Philip's. Anne soon surmised, noticing that he the only one in the crew idle thu evening found a great many oc casions for long, inquiring look! at Diana, who, It seemed, naa transferred he' "pecial klttntioni from Larry to Philip. "How enraged mother would b If she knew, thought Anne mis chievously, ner ear tuning in on Larry again.

PhiliD began searching dis tractedly through his pockets for the note. "1 had it this morning. I know," he said scattering other papers he would be wanting later. "Never mind." replied Anne wearily. "Tell me what was in it" Philip knit his brows. "Some thing about the ceremonial dag ger, symbol of the Eye of Shy-a Nago, having been lent to you. You were to bring it. fulfilling the prophecy, while they were compelled to remain until you ar rived because they had seen the treasure city." Anne felt a unenlightened as ever "You see," Larry took up the explanation, "the time had come for the fulfillment of the proph ecy; the tribesmen were on the lookout for the 'pair r wisdom' to whom thev are pledged to re veal Shy-a N;igo. And I don't know." he a.ldrd enthusiastically, "where else on earth they could have fmnd a couple to fit the bill so well." "It almost makes me believe In fate." acMcd h'.s wile.
