Later Larry and Beth came out
and tried to cheer them up.
It was Doddap with hii keen

Oliver was on the field when it
landed. Anne had let Beth hold
her in the crowd.

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

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

again.

in her.

AT CENTRAL POINT
Central Point. June 16.
(Spl) J. R. Morris of Jackson
ville has been shipping pilings
from Central Point recently at
the rate of four carloads in the
last week.
It Is expected that 15 car

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. The Jtmrd
