Mr. and Mrj. Willard arc captivu of (he Nagara tribe, which Guard Shy- tfaao. the hiddca city. Anna to appointed la release them, but cannot act to them ae yet And filaia Sherwood, whom Ann lorn In rptU el herself. It In the WUIard camp although Anne 6eltetee he u working against her parrnu. Noio mys terious drume hace aroused the tchol party. Chapter 27 Hie Nagaras Com IN tht silence that followed, Ann felt th drum again. "Let' go make lome coffee!" ihc cried. No on can aleep." ThT atrolled towardi the mess hut. "I'd like to set up that radio now," suggested Sherwood. "You can never tell what'i ahead of you In this country. I wonder if I ahould mention it to Oliver?" "Let th poor devil aleep." ad vised Larry. "H needs it When I cam by hii tent he was snoring like a baby. I hadn't th heart to waken him." Ann waa glad to hear that Philip rested. He'd walked out of th mess hut like a man in trance. Che felt h waa close to a breakdown. Th girls, rummaging in th kitchen, found coffee and fat little Chines nut cakes, In des pair they gave up trying to build a fire of thorn root in the mud stove and resorted to th alcohol primus Dr. Martaine used in his chemical work. Th men atopped labor on th radio to shar th food. Sherwood stood apart by the mantel. After a moment of self roncious hesitation Anna took him a eup of coffee. Hit voice taid "Thank you, and nit teas ing eyes kissed her lips. "Sugar and cream?" ah queried "So ar you," h murmured. She made a little face at him and then noticed Beth watching curi ously. Mackey dropped hit eyes at her ease swung to him. She moved away hastily and let Sher wood drink his coffee black. Presently Beth went to the door and came back. "Th drums are still at it," ah said, Mackey rose to start work on th radio again. "If I had my way," he declared, "you'd all be in th truck on your way to Chuka." "What? Don't you believe In surrendering to Destiny?" Ann asked. "What's ft ever got Blaze?" he growled. "You'd be surprised If I told you." answered Sherwood. Ann gave him a startled (lance and flushed at the half threat in his grey eyes. A knock at the door banished the cross currents tangling the air. Doddap came in carrying Anne's silver studded belt with its preciout burden, the Nagara dagger. "Put it on." he taid to her. "Well" ah began, then took it and fastened it about her slender want. "Why?" ah de manded. "That'i wher It belongs." He turned and shuffled out. She looked up and met Sherwood's eves. He grinned and shrugged. The young Huffs looked at th belt curiously. "Coma on, b a sport, show us the dagger, begged Larry. Ann put a hand on th sheath. Sherwood was watching her nar rowly. "I don't like to touch It." ahe taid slowly, and explained th peculiar feel of the weapon in her hand. "As if it really were pos sessed." she explained. "Perhaps that's because you're a rather high strung person," suggested Larry. "Am I?" she asiced In aurprise. "You're feminine and you're not stolid," said Sherwood Join ing them. "Will you three help me with these wires?" Anne complied hastily, suspect ing his motive, glad that he had diverted Larry. "I'd like to get this thing go ing," he continued, putting the ear phones on his head. "It may Lsy us to get in touch with Shanl un." Th Instrument, finally act up, still refuted to work. Th men started to go over it again. The door opened suddenly and Dr. Martain cam in. Hia face wat bloodiest and hia pal grey eyes shone with repressed emo tion. He looked from one to the other of them and then mad di rectly for Anne. Sh rose from her chair to meet him. Man In Torture - JISS Willard." he .aid. "sine ' I cannot giv my resignation to your father, I notify you that I am through here." -Why why. yes," she faltered in bewilderment. "Have you spoken to Philip about it? He " "I have no intention of speak ing tn Oliver." he answered stiff ly. "My position her it un bearable. I want to leave on the truck for Chuka In th morning." The other in the room could not help overhearing. He made no effort to keeo the conversation priva'e. yet he managed to ex clude them. Ann stared at him helplessly. "Dr. Martain, If there's any. thing I can say or do " "I'm enrry. Miss Willard. there s nothing." "At least write father a per sonal letter and I mill see that he gets it." He nodded. "I'll be gti to do that. Your father it a fin man to work with." "Is is Diana going loo?" the Stammered. "I'm going alone." Sh walked with him to th doo.. "Dr. Martain. I wish you'd re consider." "That's quite impossible. Miss Willard. I'll writ that letter and I have some packing to do." The door closed behind him. Ann turned to th others. "I'm turprised he put up with her at long at he did." taid Beth. Larry merely thrugged hit shoulders, Mackey continued whittling on a splinter, Sherwood alone looked troubled. That'a bad." he taid. 1 thought Martain could take it Ha knew her temperament when he married her. Diana'a a fas cinating woman. He won't gain anything by leaving her." "He may gain peace of mind," remarked Beth. Sherwood gazed at her. "Not if the's in his blood, and I think she is." Beth raised a speculative eye brow. "If the't to fascinating why didn't you marry her yourself? "Maybe I wasn't meant to." be grinned and turned to hia work again. "If the Nagaras don t com to morrow." said Anne suddenly, "I'm going to them. Things can't continue like this any longer: Dr. Martain leaving. Philip act ing like an idiot" aha glanced at Sherwood. " th Chinese gov ernor interfering with the ex pedition. Everything is falling to pieces." No on had anything to say un til Sherwood answered without looking at her. "I imagine that drumbeat w hear meana they're coming but I'd like to get this radio working first." - "And I'd like to get a little rest," said Beth curling up In her chair. "I'm a fiend for excitement but it's been overdone around her lately." Anne lay down on the couch. She felt someone throw a blanket over her. The subdued voices ol the men died out. She stood in a vast stone temple as thickly pil lared as a virgin forest. Curling incense plumes swirled through th air, like writhing dragons rid ing th soundwaves of rolling drumbeat Suddenly a crash woke her. The Escort '"PHE Nagaras!" someone had thouted. It wat dawn and a giant yellow man in atriped sheep-lined coat and felt helmet waa twinging a broad sword above th radio, blow after blow. Other helmeted men had crowded into the room carrying medieval scimitars, battle axes, and dirka in their hands though each had a rifle swung across his back. Ihev lined the white men up along the wall and searched them for weapons. Dr. Martain was already pres ent, Anne saw. Oliver appeared in pajamas and dressing gown, ush ered in by a pair of tribesmen. Diana came in, demanding Imper iously tn know what had hap pened. The cooks were squealing in th kitchen. Ann rose to her feet. . "It It all right." declared Sherwood urgently. "Though the camp has been captured no one is being hurt." "Yet,11 muttered Mackey. DoddaD was brought in. Beth started to leave her chair and shrank bark at a sharp word from one of th invaders. A slim. black bearded man appeared and ordered the giant to cease his senseless hacking on the radio which had been beaten into the table, and the table into the floor. This slim bearded man seemed to be th leader, though he also wore the felt helmet with the turned up brim of five petal points. He addressed the white men in his own language. No one understood except Sherwood for a word or two. Then Doddap answered the can- tain. They palavered back and forth for a while. Th lama turned to Anne. "They re come to conduct us to the high priest, they say, that you may prove vou are th seed sent by the Gods to reveal to the world the secrets of Shy-a Nago." The dagger gleamed at Anne't side, its green eye luminous in the faint dawn light She took a step towards the man who backed away respectfully. "Prove? sh demanded. "What must I prove? That I'm my pa rents' daughter? I was given th dagger." "And you accepted It h re minded her sternly. Anne looked around distracted ly. Both Diana and Beth were crying. The white men ranged along the wall stood absolutely helpless. More burly tribesmen crowded Into the room. Suddenly Ann realized that many of these fighting men were woman, trut Amazons, dressed lik their men and as tierce of eye. "What if we should decide not to go on with thus?" she asked. "Give back the knife and ask tht return of my parents?'" "It it too late. Your parents have seen th treasure city." "And Blaze has put himself In the same trap." she thought de spairingly, noticing that he alone of the white men had been bound his hands tied behind him. "Tell the captain." she directed Doddap. "that no harm must comt to our innocent associates." "No harm comes to innocence. The high priest awaits vou in the mountains. Be readv to travel soon, he commands. Onlv the ser vants snd soldiers will be left here. The tribesmen have brought sufficient horses for the rest of us " The chieftain cleared the room of natives except for a gusrd at the door. Trembling Chinese rooks brought in the breakfast The white nien. including Sher wood with his hands shackled were allowed to roam about thr room itun. Thinrs relaxed bit. Larry made a feeble joke.
