It it this city ali Anne's party toffhes to find. Chapter 23 "The Dogger Guards You" THE truck returned from Chuka with the birth charts made out m the Chinese manner. "They are favorable," aaid Philip, finding Anne in the meu hut alone shortly afterwards. She had lit a Are in the fireplace for cheerfulness. He locked the pa pen in his desk, a bit embar rassed at being party to such pro ceedings. Consulting the stars A little too much like child's play. The others would be amused if they knew. Anne comforted him. The Nagaras cannot doubt our sincerity on this point at least. When do you suppose they're coming lor us?" "I don't know. We've been see Ing signal fires in the hills lately." "If they don't come soon we triould: start out to meet ttiem Follow the trail father and mother took. Do something to get in touch with them. It is terrify ing to receive no word day after flay. Philip was pacing back and forth before the fire in Ills usual nervous way. "I hate to tell you this. Anne. and I don't know what to make of it, but there's a rumor in Chuka that Russian archeologlsts have made contact with the Na garas and are advancing them selves as trie 'avatars or Destiny come to luinu tne propnecy. "What docs that mean?" Anne demanded, and she did not have the heart to tell him Petes re port that Blaze had made t trip to Jtussia. "I don't know." The others came in then and were told the rumor. 'Things are going from bad to worse," said Philip pessimistically and no one contradicted him. A knock sounded on the door. A communication had been brought bv special courier from Chuka. The Amban notified Philip that the government was rnaing an omciai inspector 10 join tne expeaition. "An official spy," sneered Larry. "He'll probably be a Mandarin with a big retinue," sighed the doctor. "I'D have to put a guard over the spring or we 11 be drink ing bathwater and worse." Larry laughed shortly. "What they are after Is a hand In the treasure." "But isn't that taken care of In the concession contract father made with the governor? Anne asked. Philip shook his head. "Not specifically. We didn't know any thing about Shy-a Nago when we came. Neither did the offi cials." "We don't know yet," declared Larry. "I sometimes think it's all a pipedream." ''If only father and mother are safe!" The men looked at Anne pityingly. They had even graver doubts than she. Beth rose, suppressing a yawn. "Let's go to bed. This has been an exciting day." They all wan dered out to their tents. Anne knew that each girl was anxious to see her alone to learn whether she was willing to tell any more that Blaze had said in his letter. She had been dodging them all afternoon. Now she felt an over powering urge to get out among the trees and absorb their peace. Visit In The Dark IVHEN the camp had quieted ' ' down, she took a blanket and pillow and slipped out. Doddap sat up when she appeared in her dark coat There would be no moon. She turned her electric torch on him. "I'm going to sleep out for a while." she said in a low voice. He gave her his bright look. "Yes. I know." "If you know so much, shall I have pleasant dreams," she asked jestingly, "Don't be afraid, whatever comes." She laughed. Doddap might spoof her, but she couldn't tease him. "Wear the dagger." She had turned away and now looked back. He repeated. "Wear the dag- ""Why. Doddap?" "The diiKeer guard you." "Don't vou think 1 11 be fare'" "Yes, but wear the daeirr."

"You must have mlsunder to recognire Philip and to hear I stood. I am the man they meant," Diana say, "I'll send a message Te e renUnare SUNK BY STUKAS . - . i , Alexandria. Egypt. June 13.

Anne wondered what plans they could be making that would include Diana's father. After they disappeared, she went on to the place she had been seeking, an open patch of sod up next to the hill, where a benevolent old wil low tree with a thick bole and wide arms stood somewhat apart. She lay down flat on one half of her blanket and drew the other half over her. Anne's eyelids drooped and then she slept. She did not know what awak ened her. A sound. A touch on her hand. Or just the presence of the two who crouched at her side in their dark robes. She sat up, stifling a scream and Sushed the blanket from about er. One of the pair smiled. Anne recognized the priests who had given her the dagger at Jus Masar. "You, she whispered when they made signs for quiet "Is all well with you?" the man asked. Yes." she answered excitedly. "Have you come to take me?" tie shook his head. "Not yet We wait till the stars are favor able." Are you taking good care of my parents?" she demanded. I he woman answered: "Good care." "They are well?' "Well." "Did they send me a letter?" "It is not allowed." "Then why are you here?" The man frowned. "Tiie story came that you were dying on the desert and another would carry the dagger." Anne reached in the sheath and drew out the knife, glad she had obeyed the lama. They both scrambled back from its naked ness. Anne rose and put the dag ger away again. xou see, she said, "every thing is all right here. You have no cause to distrust us." 'We see " they answered. 'What became of the com panion condemned to die with you?" the man asked. lie went his way and I went mine." "Did he respect the dagger?" "He did," she answered shortly. Suddenly voices and lights arose from the yard encircled by the huts and tents. Anne heard Beth call: "I tell 'ou her cot has not been slept in." And Diana's voire: "Her coat is gone." "I've been missed," said Anne. "We go." "Not yet." she cried, but thev disappeared Into the shadows of the little hillside like one cloud into another. Anne stared after them a moment, then oicked un her blanket and pillow. "Here I am," she called as she approached the excited group in the court yard. "I've been trying to sleep out doors." Blare Again A PLANE flew into camp next morning while all the mem bers of the expedition were at breakfast, with the exception of Diana who always slept late. "Remain where you are," said Philip sharply as the others would have risen to flock to the landing field. "I presume it is Gregory Sherwood carrying out his threat Please remember how the Chief feels about this inter ference with our activities. Sher wood does not come as a friend to the expedition." No one could disagree with him on that, but Beth voiced her dis appointment ties still a human being and a white man and it's pretty thrill ing to have that kind of company in this hole no matter what his intentions are." Philip ignored her remarks. "As acting head of this expedi tion I shall meet him Hist. Finish your breakfast." He rose and went out on the porch and shut the screen door firmly behind him. The others smiled ruefully at each other. They didn't like his manner but there was no disloyal ty. Diana had evidently heard the plane and dived into clothes. She ppeared in the enclosure formed by the tents and huts. Philip called her to him and sent her In- ule. Beth grinned at Anne. When Philip walked out to the roup of chairs tinder the cotton- wood trees in the center of the enclosure to meet the visitors, human nature could stand no more. Those inside the house moved discreetly towards the door and windows where they could see and hear without beuig seen. Sherwood's tall form led.
