Although deeply interested in the hidden city which is the object of her parents' quest, Anne cannot down her liking for Blaze. Yet Blare is supposedly working against the Willards. 1 .

She Joined Pete and the lama sitting in front of her tent and staring off gloomily in the direc tion of the Bckkan Bula peaks. Later Larry and Beth came out and tried to cheer them up. It was Doddap with hii keen desert eyes who first saw the re turning plane. Everyone except Oliver was on the field when it landed. Anne had let Beth hold her in the crowd. "He may have news of your parents. Sherwood remained In the plane several moments sending riff a final radio message to Shani Lun and looked to forbid ding when he did scramble out that everyone hesitated to ques tion him. Anna was the first to venture. "Did you find out anything about lather and mother7 tie turned and gazed at her. "Not a thing. Anne, I'm sorry. The whole trip was useless." He beian shrugging oil the parachute harness talking technicalities about the ship with Mackey as he did so. Then be spoke to Ihe group. "Come to my tent after I've had a shower and I'll tell you what happened." Anna did not go but the learned afterwards that Philip was present and showed friend liness to Sherwood by asking him and Mackey to loin the camp mess with the sensible statement that white men isolated in a spot like this could not afford to quar rel. "He probably feels that having fained the enmity of the Nagaraa, Haze has become less of a menace to the expedition," Anne suggested. "Blaze accepted." Beth went on, "and it adding hit supplies and cook to ours. You should have heard his story. He found the Nagara village to which the Rus sians had penetrated. There had been fighting and a massacre but no sign of the white men. The natives shot at Blaze. He got away though there are several bullet holes in bit wings." "Heavens!" gasped Anne. "But he swears the Nagaras are not as vindictive as people think. The Russians were not archaeolo gistsmerely a crew of adventur ers the Emir's agents had picked up and interested In tha propo sition. Their government repudi ates them, though Blaze would have liked to turn them back and save their lives. He thinks they have no chance either to get out alive or to find the treasure city." "Did he get a view of Shy-a Nago?" "I guest to. He doesn't teem to want to talk about it Pete predicted he'd die for that and Blaze answered if he did it was worth it. He wouldn't say any more, but you should have seen his eyes as he remembered. Then he began Joking about something else." "Does he really believe the Nagaras will try to to kill him?" "Wa couldn't get him to say. He'd only joke about it. But what do you care?" Beth chuckled mis chievously. "He's not your hus band, you're only married to him, if you know what I mean." Anne colored in spite of her trlf. Beth taw it and giggled again. Fira DINNER that night wat a rather hilarious afTair. Blast having contributed tharks' fins, mush rooms, fruit and Turkestan wine from the supplies the governor had heaped upon him. Even Anne's frost melted a trifle. Blare was playing a bold game. Perhaps she could match him at it At least she and her parents were still in good stand ing with the Nagaras from what the priest had said the other night Later she stood at his tide while they all essayed a little close harmonv over Mackey's mouth organ. He managed to get in a personal question under cov er of the general noise. "Which is vour tent?" She turned away, hardlv able to believe her ears at first or suppress the rage that welled up in her. Later, having a chance to be near her as she changed a phono graph needle he tried again. "If you'd like to have a talk.

It Is expected that 15 car "Mfcr rHavMn- weather and about tht skull Philip displayed on his desk. While being forced to learn bridge, Mackey tried continually to swing the play to poker. Anne smiled secretly at the way he rolled his eyes as Beth, and later Diana, drew Sherwood out on the veTanda while they were dum mies. "What's the Idea?" he managed to ask her privately. "They can't vamp Blaze." "You never can tell," she mur mured in return. "Besides, they're eaten up with curiosity." "Hum!" he grinned and gava her a sidelong glance. The next evening was much tha tame except for less food and more talk. Anne and Sherwood even walked across the courtyard together, politely observing the map of the sky that had once oc cupied tuch tn important part in their lives. He put a guiding hand to her elbow at the door of Larry's tent and she hoped a sud den trembling deep within did not betray her. Larry had wanted them to tee a death mask he wat reconstructing from the jumbled fragments he had found the week before. Beth and Larry would have liked to tease them a bit concern ing; their legal status but didn't quite dare. Oliver had become more attentive to Anne. Diana had dug up new dresses the other girls didn't dream she possessed. In the midst of the general conversation she kept calling to Blaze, "Do you remember the time we " and he'd tmile and answer in that bantering way of his that twisted Anne't heart with jealousy. "What kind of dog In the manger am I?" the asked herself angrily. But she knew. He had already told her. "While your mind is cold, I know your heart is warm." And once he had said, "If a man remains true to his objec tive, life works things out for him. Shy-a Nago belonged to her parents. It had belonged to them before she knew Blaze. This was not a conflict between her love for them and her love for him. It was a conflict between her principles and her emotions. That night the airplane went up in flames. Worry For Blase THOUGH Mackey had put a a secret guard at Sherwood's tent it had never occurred to him anyone would try to destroy the plane. It was a mass of flames when first discovered, and a bucket brigade of Turk! laborers, Chinese soldiers, American arch aeologists and their women and servants, accomplished nothing except to dip the spring pool dry. Later as they all stood staring at the dying blaze Mackey looked as doleful as if the world had come to an end. Sherwood con cealed his emotions better. "You're next," Pete predicted. "I'm not so inflammable." Sher wood retorted with a faint tmile. "Oh, I don't know if the right kind of oil's poured over you." Anne surmissed s double mean ing in the words. Mackey had taken a violent dislike to Diana who clung to Sherwood's arm on one side and to her husband's on the other while she hinted that all their misfortunes were the fault of the Willards. The men hushed her up as ouickly as they could, Martaine with sharp words, Sherwood with bantering ones. "Undoubtedly the work of Na garas," declared Oliver. "We see their fires In the hills every night though they never come down to camp and make themselves known to us." "Maybe they've taken ven- f:eance on the plane and will eave Blaze alone now," suggested Beth hopefully. Mackey knew better. They've just burned the plane to he ctn't escape." "'There'! the truck. If he wlshet to leave," Anne reminded him. Sherwood turned and gazed at her with those strong, fearless eyes of his. "I do not want to leave." Then he apoke to tha whole group. "I regret the lost of the radio more than anything else." We ve a radio we were not al- lowed to act up," Larry reminded njm I'll aee what I can do with it tomorrow." They all talked a while longer and finally straggled back to tiieir beds. Doddap wat already aeated in front of her tent chanting a prayer in hit soft, birdlike voice when Anne re turned. She stood listening until he came to the end. "What are you praying about now?" she asked, dropping into a canvas chair. "1 pray for Sherwood. Why does he not sleep in our tent?" She gave him a flashing glanct and closed her lips firmly. He went on. "If Sherwood lived in our tent the Nagaras would not kill him" "Kill him!" Her hand went to her throat "Doddap, would they really try to kill him." "I see a knife thrown at him. Always, 1 tee a knife thrown at him " After a moment't hesitation sht walked across the corner of the rourtyard to Sherwood's tent. A Chinese soldier stood at the door. She could hear Sherwood and Mackey talking inside.
