"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.

"I don't know. We've been see

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

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-

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

"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

ger away again.

"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.
