MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 10. 1941 YESTERDAY' Am WfltaM hoi arrived at the camp of her father and mother in the Atiatie detert alter a series of wild ad venture. But they art not here, and tha learn that they are being held at th mysterious city of Shy-a Nago. until tha shall appear there, according to an cient prophecy. Chapter 20 Miating Dagger THAT toundt rather (rand," murmured Anna. "I'm young, but am I bold?" The others laughed. "I think," aaid Beth, "that the Nagarai mean you and your husband. Everyone suddenly looked self conscious. Anna and Philip had not spoken a word of their person al affairs to each other. She de cided at once to take them all Into her confidence. ' "Then I'm In a difficult situa tion," sha said. "We'll many at once, If you wish," offered Philip hastily. She gave him her friendly amile. "I don't suppose I'm legally free." She told the story of the marriage plot in Arishar and of the Emirs subsequent scheme. "But I didn't die in the desert as he had hoped, and I still possess the dagger." Diana was laughting softly to herself. "Imagine Blaze Sherwood coming to the rescue of a damsel In distress! Did you think of the idea or did he?" "I did." said Anne steadily. "Where's he gone to Russia for a quick annulment?" For all I know." Philip looked at her sharply. "How did he happen to be on the plane with you?" "His plane had crashed on the desert He's an old friend of the pilot and wanted a lift to Chuka." "Sounds like a conspiracy to Die," observed the doctor. "Absolutely," agreed Philip in irritation, turning to Anne. "You slaved neht into his hands and . gave him a place in the prophecy." "lltt'A hatr. ma right Ann. nrotested. "He'd merely be helD- inf father win. What he wishes is to prevent this expedition's se curing Shy-a Nago. Ha told me o." Philip began pacing the floor. "I agree with Sherwood this far, that we never should have mixed up with the Naanrps. I sometimes doubt if Shy-a '" n exists, ex eept as a myth. . if it does, it's outside our oris . purpose. It's not tha thing we jre sent to do. We are making finds here that are good, and that s enough. I begged Doctor Willard to leave this thing alone, but he wouldn't listen to me. Now we see Sherwood at the bottom of your parents' being held crisonert. We don't know all the details of the prophecy" he paused. "It is not the policy of the Nagaras to free their prisoners unless they happen to fulfill this Anna stared at him in terror. "You mean father's and moth er's lives are really in danger then' When do we meet these natives?' "We don't know yet," answered Larry Huff. "We're supposed to wait for a delegation to come and conduct us into tha mountains. But I don't believa vou need to worry about Dr. and Mrs. wil- lard. with a black look at Philip. "It's my opinion they'll make the trade. The Chinese authorities in Chuka warned us that we'd never live to establish the camp. When we did survive the Commissioner gave us a few soldiers to act as guards." Doddap Speaks AS HE talked, trying to bring thing back to a lighter vein, Anne observed that the lama had rdged inside and squatted down py the floor counting nis Deads. "Blaze Sherwood's spy," she thought. And then her feeling for the little man softened. That was not true, for in his fashion Doddap served the spirit and not the per' son. He looked up and their eves met They smiled at each other. It was a rather surprising experi ence. "Doddap," she demanded, "are my parent well and safe?" "They are well and safe." She smiled at the others. "Silly of me," she said, "but I do feel comforted." Diana was tha one who asked about the dagger. "Where is it?" "In my suitcase." answered Anne reluctantly. 'The priest warned me that no one else should touch it." "That's lust sillv superstition." asserted Larry. "Won't you let us tee the weaoon? Anne heard herself repeating Blaze Sherwood's words. "Since we're mixed ud with these people perhaps wt should respect their taboos. "Yen. Indeed, in their presence.' agreed Philip. "But not when we're apart from them. Fro. ex tremelv anxious to see that knife.' "I think Miss Willard is right" interrupted the doctor. Larrv looked at him In surprise "Do you believe that stuff that there are psychic forces in ob 1ect?" "For certain people, yes. I sav. rtn as these natives ask us to do. Kennect their taboo " "In their presence we shall." re peated Philip Impatiently. "But now" "Let me open your suitcase and look for It" said Beth. Anne consented reluctantly, and Beth opened the bag and made the search. Tha weapon was not there. "It has been stolen," declared Larry instantly. "Tha natives are afraid of It" Anne reminded him. "Even Pete wouldn't touch it He asked me to put it into the bag myself." "Did you do 10?" "I can't remember," sha an swered slowly. "I know I took it in my hand and placed it in tha leather sheath attached to the belt It had been lying exposed on a bale of silk. Pete shut the bsgs. He said he would bring me the rest of the things from the tent in a larger plane. I rather expected him yesterday. Maybe in some way the belt and weapon got rolled up In the rugs." Philip glanced at the lama. This lama may have taken it." They searched him promptly, bringing to light from the voluminous blouse effect of his eown a wide assortment ranging from the little skull drum to the chunk of cheese wrapped in an old goatskin. But the Nagara dagger was not there. Doddap, said Anne. "You ra diviner. Tell us. Where is the knife?" He stiffened and a blank look spread over his face. Slowly his chin sank to his breast and his whola body began to shake He s going into a trance, whis pered Beth excitedly. Doddap opened nis eyes and looked at her, his quivering stilled. "I cannot see," he said, "you spoiled it. I cannot see." Anne remembered his sly little game with Mackey and the eagle's claw and surmised that he and his magic of fetish and trance tome times had as much fun with the white man as the white man with his magic of electric torch and phonograph got out of the native. She felt now that Doddap knew something he would not reveal. "What does he do around herer " she asked. The principal thing he does. growled Philip, "is to come back when we chase him off. I've for bidden the servants to feed him or give him a place to sleep." "ties got that nunn ol cheese to eat." Interrupted Beth, "and he spends his nighti before the door of this tent. I stumble over him every time I come in to look at Anne. Whr didn't you tell me that before?" Philip asked sharply. l m sura trie nine leiiow is harmless." I'm not sure. He turned. "Anne. could he have any con nection with Gregory Sherwood? I understand Dr. Sherwood once lived in his monastery," she admitted. Philip spoke. "We'll put him In the prison hut tonight." He called a soldier. Hiding Place THE lama caught Anne's eye and made a sly motion with his hand towards the native rack along the circular wall where her bag had rested. She understood as plainly as if he had spoken. "Ihe little Dusyoody, snt thought "Still, he has more fore sight than I." She felt relieved that these white men had been de nied the opportunity to break the Nagara taboo. The gathering broke up. It was bed time for people who rise to work in the early morning hours. After the camp became quiet, Anne rose, lit a candle, examined the native rack and then, among the felts In the tent wall behind found the outline of the belt and sheathed knife. A good place to leave it she decided. She had donned slippers and great coat when her door opened and Beth came in. Anne began to explain. "That harmless little priest" "He's all right," laughed Beth In a low voice. "I just stepped over him as usual to get in here." "Why I thought" "So did Philip. I guess. The guard house is locked securely but emptv. I went and looked. Now you hustle back into Ded. xou want to eain ail the strength you can for that trip into the moun tains. Cheer up. 1 m betting Mr. Mackey will appear tomorrow with the dagger if hrs not in jail " She tucked Anne in. "But the difficulties ahead of us," sighed Anne. "Whatever I do I must not fail lather and mother, vet I have made a mess of thines so far. They're getting old. though they dnn t seem to Know it this strenuous, dangerous life they lead " "They're wonderful." cried Beth, sitting down on the side of the cot "We've got youth, but they've got something better. I guess it it the spiriL It makes them ageless. Just as the Nagara prophecy demands, they two together are one scholar. I don't think you need to do anv worrying about the outcome. Beth leaned forward. "I'm so ex cited about you and Blare Sher wood." she confessed. "Did he " "Now, Beth." warned Anne, and gave her a little shake. "Well. I think he's way ahead of 1 mean it tirklra me to death your heating Diana's time with him even if nothing ever comes of it. The reason she's with thit expedition is because Blaze Sher wood's in Asia." Te e eentlnari On the Radio Chains STATIONS!
