Anne Willard hat arrived at the deiert camp of her parente. oniy to find her parente are prisoners of the Waoara tribe, and that c compli cated prophecy concerning her self mutt be fulfilled before they can be released. And although she ouyhl not to be, tince he is tcorkinff ayatnst her parents, Anne is more than a little inter ested in filazc Shtrwood, who has disappeared. Chapter 21 Pcle Comes Bark TMANA'S lovei ire those ihe - cannot have," said Beth. "Then why did she marry Dr. Martaine?" "Because she was bluffing Blaze. They were engaged. They had a row; she wanted him to give up field work, take a desk job and go into society. She threatened to marry the doctor, went so (ar as to let him buy the license. Then she phoned Blaze they were on their wav to a certain Gretna Green. He promised to be there ahead of them. And then he called her bluff. Instead of breaking it up as she expected he insisted on Deing Desi man at in weaaing "That was rather cruel," said Anne. "Maybe he thinks love ought to be above competition," suggested Beth. "The next day he left for the Orient" "He seema to be strong on the unexDected. murmured Anne. "Last summer she worked her father into asking your father for a place for her husband on this Expedition, one nopea 10 run across Blaze and sht has. Trankly," said Anne. "I like her spunk, though I don't know whether or not the things people break their necks to get are worth the having. Beth stared at her In horror. "Do you realize," she hissed, "that Diana has her claws in Philip also?" Anne lauched at the girl's in tennitv. She felt vears older than Beth. "A little clawing would do Philip good. "Then you're not In love with him?'- "Not." said Anne moodily, "if I know the meaning of the word. Beth stared at her in admiration. "Well, co to bed now." laughed Anne. Beth stooped and kissed her goodnight. "You're fun," she said. Anne heard her stumble over Doddap outside the door, squeal and giggle and run on to her tent. Next morning the guard found the lama locked in the prison hut as if he'd ben there all night. Anne took him away from the soldier and led him to the kitchen for some food. "How did you get In and out of the hut?" she asked smilingly. He lowered his head bashfully and looked ud at her from the cor. ners of his eyes. "My magic,"- he smiled in return and that was all she could get out of him. "What do you mean," she asked seriously, "by coming inlo my tent and hiding the dagger? "I did it to protect the white men, he answered readily. I hey do not have good sense. They would touch the dagger and die. She looked at him doubtfully. Doddap didn't seem to And many white people with good sense. "Why do you bother with us? she asked. His eves kindled. "We wise ones know," he said, "that you come of the ancient race. "You mean in a former life we lived in Shy-a Nago before the rise of the mountains? "You and the master." "It's a lovclv. romantic idea.' she admitted, and instructed Huie, the cook, tn give the little man some breakfast. Shipload Of Gold IN THE afternoon Anne walked across to the dig and back with Thilip and followed him into the mess hut afterwards where the Kxpedition's members dined and worked and played. It was an attractive, homey room, with its precious glass win dows, Anne thought, despite the crude camp furniture. Tables, desks, chairs, cabinets, a rose bush in a pot that would be her moth er's, and a phonograph. 1 fire place, and i'w radio sending and . receiving sot ."le governor had re fused to let them sot up. Philip went to his desk to pre pare a dispatch he was getting off to Chuka. "The Amban Is talking of sup plying us with an advisory com- misjinner." he said. "It'll be an official with his hand out for a share of the treasure if there's any loot. I'm surprised that the Dao T '.i didn't think of it first." "I hope there's no loot." Anne cried. "I hone we find only treas ure that scholars value." "If the legend's true there's a shipload of gold and silver and firrcious stones." She surprised a nok of greed and desire on his face which changed to a flush of pleasure as Diana came into the room and let him draw up a chair for her. "The principal thing." he added, "is to get our hands on them. It's my guess that Mackey, that pilot of yours, stole the dag ger and took it to Gregory Sherwood." "You're wrong," aaid Anne shortly. "I offered the dagger to Dr. Sherwood myseu. ne aoso lutely refused to touch it" "That's strange," said Philip al ter a pause. "I must give brier wood credit for knowing his busi ness among these natives. What was his reason? Dr. Martaine, Beth, and Larry had come in and were listening. Anne looked away. "He said that It belonged to me and mv husband alone." Dianas eyes began to sparkle. Then he must not consider himself married to you." He doesn t "I wonder why not?" asked Larry, dropping down on the couch, "if he's as keen as they say he is to get in on this And?" Anne believed she knew the an swer. I understand tnai oniy a man whose horoscope is favorable to mine will be acceptable to the Nagaras aa my husband. They seem to have more faith in the stars than in a marriage certificate." Beth laughed. "Gosh, maybe Philip wouldn't be acceptable either "We could send to a Chinese astrologer in Chuka for birth date readings." Philip went on in his fussy way. PerhaDa we should.- sne agreed in a troubled voice, "espe. cially if that's more important than a marriage ceriincaie. Philip brightened, "it mignt ne way to circumvent Gregory Sherwood if he's up to something. We'll do it." He had her write flown her date. "I'm also shipping hat watch-dog of youra out on the truck this evening. Larry turned off the phonograph In time for everyone to hear Anne's protest: "Oh. no. let uodciap stay, ne s harmless. I'm under obligation to him. He helped me on the journey to Arishar." She laughed remem bering. "He posed as my ion when was aisguisea. "As your son," cried Beth, reaching for another tea cake. Good gosh, how did you iook7 Anne laughed again. "Kipling aid it: 'A rag and a bone and a hank of hair. Philip, please let Doddap stay here. I'll be respon sible for him." Beth giggled. "Sure, let him stay. The little fellows come home to mama. And she's got a pet name for him Doddap." Even the doctor smiled. Letter From Blaze PETE arrived the next morning just before breakfast. He came in a cabin plane this time and brought the "dowry," as he called it. Anne was distressed when the others surrounded him at once and began asking about the dag "Why, I thought miss Anne packed it," he said, looking at her. She stared back helplessly. "Ol course," he declared, "if . you haven't got the weapon I musl have rolled it up in the rugs. They're in one big roll. We'll look through them." Philip ordered the things carried to the mess hut. "Send them to my tent Instead," said Anne. "But we can look through them easier " Philip began impa tiently. "I have the dagger," said Anne. "I found it afterwards and hid it. I don't think we should take any chances with it" .The others looked at her oddly as they all walked back to break fast. Mackey sat down with them "I can always eat." he said and glanced at Anne. "How are you getting along?" "Just tine," she answered bright ly, hoping she looked it ' Diana propounded the question they were all dving to ask him "Have you seen Blaze Sherwood? Is he in jail?" Mackey laughed and looked at Anne. "Not lilaze. He may head for prison but he has a way ol landing in a palace. Just now he's feasting in the governor's garden and trying tn pour as much liquor to the mulberry trees as the Dao Tai empties into his own gullet." He shook his head. "Diplomacy it some iob. Give me skv ridine.' Just what is hherwood up tor demanded Philip. Mackey heard the hostility in his voice. "I couldn't say, sir." He drew a letter from his pocket and handed it to Anne. She felt herself reddening as she took the missive and slipped it under her plate. "Oh. Anne." whimpered Beth childishly, "when we're all so anx ious to hear what he says." She turned to Mackey in her intense way. "Were you in on that wed ding scheme?" "I was a witness." he admitted. "Were there papers signed? Do you think it is legal?" "I couldn't sav," he answered impassively. "There were papers signed, but I guess it takes more than papers to make a marriage " "Have you seen Anne's son?" Diana asked with her derisive smile. He st.irH at her. "She means IVIdap," explained Anne hastily. "He's here." "Oh, yes.' he grinned, and gave Anne a covert look "So 1 heard." She wondered what Blare had said to him. If anything. She found that she could not rat It was torture to sit here. Suddenly she rose, took her letter and crossed to the louneing part of the room beside a window.
