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.
