JUNE 20, 1941. ty R(U AWIer fSvttr YESTERDAY: At lost the Nagartu, guardians of 5hua Sago, tht hidden Asiatic city, have come for Anna Wlllard to take her to their capital, tchert her parents are being held pris oner. But the Nagarai have taken all the personnel of the H'illard's archaeological expedi tion as well, Including Blaze Sherwood, the latest and least wanted member. Anna is trying to do something to help Blaze trho it being treated harshly the guard at Sherwood's tent seems araid of her. Chapter 29 Midnight Meeting ANNE laughed and took a quick atep towards him and ha re treated a atep with a shame faced giggle. He knew she was leasing him, yet nevertheless he Intended to take no chances. With a quick move Mackey un bolted and pushed open the door. The young fellow was on him with a bound. They rolled on the earth and rose, facing each other. Sherwood had come to the door. "Cut it out, Pete." he called sharply. A guard from the big Iron studded gate rushed across. Both natives seized Ma "key. Anne warned Sherwood as If he read her intention to inter fere. "We Just wanted to talk to you a moment and give you the robe," she explained. Sherwood spoke to his per sonal guard. He had discovered that the boy knew a smattering of Turkl. The two natives con ferred between themselves for a moment then said something to Sherwood. He spoke to Mackey. 'They say you can take the robe from Anne and give it to me. Then you must return to your tent end stay there." Anne handed Mackey the robe and asked Sher wood: "Did they let you eat your noon lunch?" "The jruard and I ate It to gether. I'm not treated too bad He was pushed back and the door drawn shut by his guard, while the other led Mackey to the yurt Philip and Doddap returned nd the gate waa barred. Anne looked out and spied the lama aquatting beside the tent She went and stood beside him. He rose. "Have you been able to talk to Blaze?" she asked. "I fed him supper and washed bis face." 'That was good." She smiled at the picture he conjured up. "Do you know what the Nagaras Intend to do with him?" "Ther take him to the high priest. Then, they say, the aacred dagger will inflict vengeance as it has on every one who sees Shy-a Nago without the right. This dagger I carry?" Anne exclaimed, putting her hand on the leather case. "It has killed all the others.1 "I'd like to destroy it," she said slowly. "It Is your protection. You would destroy yourself and the rest of us." "It only we could help Blaze escape! "You wlah to talk to him?' "Could it be done?" "I'll give the guard deep sleep." "With i club?" she asked hu morously. "With my magic." She stared at him a moment. "All right, Doddap, if you can do it." "Rest Just Inside the door until I call you, Instead of Joining the other gins at the pack or the tent Anne did as the lama told her, wrapping herself in a handsome argali skin. Philip roused and looked at her. J hat t a dralty spot, he said, "I like it." He closed his eyes end slept Eiplanation SOMETIME past midnight Anne waa wakened hv the lama gently pulling her hair. She crept out quietly and they stole across the dark yard. He opened the door rarelullv and closed it be hind her. She stood quiet to get her bearings. In a niche in the wall sat a saucer of fat with a rag wick burning In it. Otherwise the hut was bare except for the pile of felts upon which Sher wood lay, rovered b the fur rnbe she had sent him, his duffle bag for a pillow. Il's eyes were bright upon her and a smile quirked his mouth. "You seem to he all rinht." she aaid. walking towards him. He moved over, kicking the robe down and she saw that his hands wete bound to the belt at his wait. "Sit beside me." he said.

It ia tin believable!" Moisture glistened in his eye and lie closed the lids. She watched him with quiverin( lips. "And now you will never see It again unless you escape." Mow can 1 escape: uopaap may work on one guard but" you can't expect him to befuddle the whole tribe." "You've got to escape or they'll kill you." She beat his shoulder with her flat. "Listen to what I aay." He rubbed his rough chin against her temple. "Precioua. if that't the road my body goes no body can do anything about it" She sat up, hunting for an other handkerchief in her coat pocket. "You can do aomelhlng about it. You're ingenious. You're clever as a wizard when you want to be." There may be a chance tomor row," he conceded. "I hear we're climbing a strip of moun tain that can be taken only afoot" 'Then you'll promise to try to escape?" "If you'll be kind to me now. Bend over and kiss me, Anne." She eyed him dispairingly. "Blare, we're on opposite sidea in this war you're not my friend and I'm not yours." "No? But we love each other. Kiss me, precious." She sighed and bent to him. Presently she aaid. "I like it bet ter when your face is shaved." "If this imprisonment keeps on much longer I'll have a long, silken beard. You'll like that." She laughed, her evelashea still tangled with tears. 'The way you talk." "Talk Is all I can do." Her arm tightened about him and she pressed her free hand against the swift, hard beating of his heart Hia lips touched her throat and he whispered, "Untie mv hands." The door opened and she sprang to her feet. Blaze laughed. "Go now," aaid the lama In hla birdlike voice. "I wisl. it had been Mackey," grinned Sherwood. Anne spoke hastily to the lama. "He promises he'll try to escape tomorrow." Hard Travel "pO NOW," repeated Doddap as i." those were the only words of English he kgewr. Anne stared at him perplexedly a mo ment, gave Blaze a confused, "Good night," and left. They started out next morning on horseback, accompanied by half a dozen picked native men under the same leader as the day before. A deep narrow gorge led them up the face of the mountain. Sometimes the path wound be tween boulders beside the brawl ing torrent, sometimes up pre cipitous slopes so far above the river that only a gentle murmur could be heard from it. Thev dis mounted and crossed incredibly high wooden bridges that sageed and swayed at every step. The women were almost in hvsterica by the time a halt was called for lunch. The trail ahead would be too difficult and dangerous for horses. "Are we going to ride mountain goala from here on?" asked Beth as she slid to the ground from her panting horse and lay there. "Now we walk." said Anne, dropping down beside her. "Not me unless I'm pushed and pulled." "That's probably the way It shall be," remarked Mackey. joining them. , They had slopped In an open cove high up on the side of the gorge where a traverse cut into the canyon. Its mouth filled with tumbled cliffs and boulders large as houses. The native? built a fire, heated water for tea to which they added butler and parched barley In the Tibetan style. Even Diana downed her share. Sher wood who had traveled with them, unbound today, sat near her. She moved close and began a confidential conversation with him. which Anne caught herself watching with all the intensity of a jealous wife. It seemed to con tain a good deal of banter from Sherwood at first then surprise and interest that Intensified to something like a love combat aggressive pleading on his part sud.ien archness on hers. "He should he planning his es cape now." thought Anne and looked across at Doddap who sat between two big rocks beating his small drum and chanting a prayer. She rose to go over to the "ttle spring that trickled out of ln mountain side. MacKey went with her. They turn the horses loose here." he said, "and let them find 'heir way h.ime.
