Word hat coma that the government toot tending an observer to the camp, and now the observer turns out to be Blaze Sherwood, who is not only antagonistic to Anne's parents, but the man shs is trying to keep from logins. Life in Asia is end lessly complicated, the has found. Chapter 24 Tight Moment CO thit'i it," muttered Larry Inside the hut "We Just took It for granted the fellow would be a native from Chuka but Sherwood hat his nerve." No one else apoke. Anne found she could better control her trembling knees II she sat down. Sherwood handed Oliver two bright red papers. "Letters of In traduction in case you require them," he said dryly. And this" opening a pretentious parchment, "is an official proclamation to the effect that I am of a rank equivalent to a 'Mandarin of the second Button ana must Be re reived and treated as such," he finished with a slightly deprecat Ing smile. Frowninl. Phlllo took the docu ment and went over it slowly. "I bet he can't read on word In ten, muttered Larry. "Shut up," hissed his wife. They'll be hearing you. Mackey was staring inquisitive ly towards the mess hut undoubt edly wondering why the others did not appear, but bherwood kept his eye glued on Philip Oliver and nis race as expression' less as a Chinese' diplomat's. At length Philip handed back the document "I suppose there's nothing I can do about it," he said coldly, "but you must know you re not welcome here. "I've come only to observi not to interfere." Sherwood's voice held a note of Dlacation. Oliver shrugged skeptically and then stiffened. "Mow about Anne?" Sherwood's face froze all but the eyes. "What do you mean? Inside the hut Beth caught her breath with a surprised gulp. The others were so quiet that they could hear the tinkle of the Cot tonwood leaves slapping each other in the faint breeze. Mackey squared off as if expecting to bave to break up a fight Oliver was brave enough. He taw Sherwood's eyes but still he answered: "I mean that wedding ceremony in Arishar does not give you the right to be called her husband." "I don't know as he's asked for the right," Diana tittered inside the hut "It happens to keep you from having the right," Blaze an swered dangerously. "Them's flghtin' words," quoted Urry delightedly. "So that's your game." sneered Philip. "Well, we ve dis covered " he glanced towards the hut and changed his mind. Anna felt sure he was thinking of the birth charts. "I won't knock you down as you deserve." said Blaze through clenched teeth, "because I under stand your provocation, but I'm here to stay and I auggest that we try to get along together. I've brought a cook and equipment I'd like you to assign us a place to pitch our tents." Every one relaxed. The light ning had spent itself in thunder. Oliver spoke civilly. "I tuggest you come greet my colleagues now. I believe you've met them and their wives." "I have," said Sherwood falling Into step with bim and motioning Mackey to follow. "I Just learned In Haml that the Martaines and Huffs are with you." Fright INSIDE the hut Anne glanced ' longingly towards the kitchen door. She didn't know whether the could fare this ordeal or not until the saw Diana watching her sharply. Beth came over and took Anne's hand and tqueezed it ex citedly. "Gosh, you're looking twell," the whispered, and scrutinized Anne critically. "I never noticed before what gorgeous eyes you have. Maybe Blaze isn't as bad a scoundrel as Philip thinks." "And maybe he's worse," an swered Anne, coldly drawing her hand away. For a moment every thing appeared a blur to her. She heard footsteps, saw undifferen tiated figures float into the room. Diana rushed forward. Blaze was shaking her hands and reach ng for the phvsician to draw him Into the greeting. The kitchen door was too much for Anne. She slipped out and stood staring blindly at the cook whose cheeks were putTed out like bladders. He had just filled up with water China-cook fashion to sprinkle down the earthen floor. In his surprise at the way she stared, he swallowed the fluid Instead. "But you'll have to speak to him sometime." she said out loud. "Yes. Missie." gulped the cook. "You ran t go around like a traeedv queen. "No. Missie." She did not hear him. In a mo ment ahe had herself In hsnd , again and stepped bark into the I big room. The other greetings ' had been completed. Blaze was J gazing down at Beth. He lifted i Sis head and looked across at Anne, his face expressionless, as' VIOLATE WAGE LAW Marshflcld. Ore., June 14. (XI Charles H. Elrry, Oregon man ager of the wages and hour division, said yesterday that; approximately 4,0 per cent of Coot bay firms examined had violated fhe law. Examiners! reported Hat 25 firms fuiled to) pay minimum wages and 96 1 If waiting to see what she ex pected of him. "How do you do. Blaze," the said pleasantly and walked over behind Philip's chair to avoid go ing out in the center of the room to greet him. "Good morning. Anne," he ssld, scrutinizing her face with delib eration. "You are looking well." "I'm feeling fine," she an swered, meeting his gaze un flinchingly, impersonally. "An eight days fast is no more than food for the soul." His eyes darkened a little with some unexpressed emotion. "But who'd believe it until he's tried it?" She let her gaze slid across his shoulder. "Hello. Pete. Glad to tee you again." Mackey grinned. Philip rose impatiently. "Well choose place for your tents now." The men went out and the wo men sat down and looked at each other. "Did you two quarrel all the time you were on the desert?" Beth asked. "What do you think?" de manded Anne crossly. Diana laugher. "Blaze knows how to take care of himself." Beth lashed out at her. "Then where do you think you'll get with him?" "Beth!" warned Anne and rose. "We're all talking like fools to day. Our nerves are on edge. I'm going down to the dig and work." She Joined one of the Chinese shovel men and examined the ob jects he had spread out on a scarf mostly flints and a few curious flat stones which looked as if the scratches on them might be inscriptions. She took a paper and pencil and attempted to copy the markings and see if she could resolve them into glyphs. The sudden takina off of the plane brought her to her feet. The ship circled for altitude and then aoared southeast in the di rection of the Bekkan Bula peaks. "Where's Blaze sending Pete now?" she wondered, and when she turned facing c mp. started at the sight of Mackey coming to wards her across the uneven ground. She drew him into the shade of her clay ridge and asked him what he knew. "Miss Anne." he said. "I'm so mad that if I'd bite myself I'd die of poison. Did you see that ship go off?" 1 thought It was you. New Danger ITS Blaze. He's messing in with the Nasara tribesmen." That brought her head up. "He's gone to look for those fool Russians on the chance that they re still alive." 'Then the rumors true about the Russians?" It's true." confirmed Mackey bitterly. "They're probably carved inio aogmeai oy now ana maze is laying himself out for the same bill of fare." Anne looked apprehensive. "Is he planning to land amona the tribesmen? I don't know about that. But if he lands on the plateau of the treasure city, he's doomed. Un til that place is revealed to the world according to the way of the prophecy, no man except the 'elect' tees it and lives. I've been getting a few earfuls about this proposition lately. Thev tell that a Swedish explorer once stumbled upon the city and later his bare bones, in a sack with a few of his other possessions, were found far out on the desert. A gang of Chi nese gold seekers invaded tne mountains and never returned. In Shani Lun they alto tell of a native plane pilot who happened to see the city from the air and came back with the story. He killed himself one night when some strange horseman rode into the capital and gave htm dag ger with which to do the Job." Were these horsemen sup posed to be Nacara tribesmen?" Anne asked, a trifle skeptically. "I see you don't believe it either," Pete mourned. "These Nagaraa are as different from the people about them as a Japanese is from a Hottentot And they intend to remain that way. They hunt down and kill any girl who is carried off and married outside her own people. They kill any girl smuggled into the tribe from surrounding races." Anne shuddered. "I wish we weren't mixed up with them. Why didn't Blaze let you go with him? "Because he believes the Na garas get their man. He wouldn't risk my akin." Anne looked at him with troubled eyes. "Is there anything we can do about it, Pete?" "Not that I know of. Doddap is praying. And when the lama prays oil schedule it meant he't trared." They looked up at the sun and walked back to camp in silence. Pete Insisted on eating lunch in hit own tent though Anne in vited him up to the mess hut "I can worry better when there's no body else around me," he said. She found that she could worry with sufficient success in a crowd. The whole table talk was about Blare and the Russians. "He's cenainlv not afraid to die." said Martaine. Larry glared at him. "Do you believe all this vengeance hooey?" "More or less." said the Physi cian coldly. "Sherwood will have no one tn blame but himself if the Na garas do him In." declared Oliver.

Two years later she died, and so great was the poet's grief that he placed in her coffin the manuscripts of all his unpublished poems. His friends fin ally persuaded him to have them taken from the grave and published. They were at once accep ted as among the greatost love poems in the English language. They included 'The House of Life,' considered one of Rosetti's greatest works.
