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

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.

ANNE laughed and took a quick

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

He was pushed back and the
door drawn shut by his guard,
while the other led Mackey to

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."

of awe and delight cam into hii
face. "It is wonderfui! It ia tin

his eye and lie closed the lids.
She watched him with quiverin(
lips.
"And now you will never see It

"You've got to escape or they'll

with her flat. "Listen to what I

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

as a wizard when you want to

There may be a chance tomor

we're climbing a strip of moun

'Then you'll promise to try to

"If you'll be kind to me now.

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

"If this imprisonment keeps on

She laughed, her evelashea still
tangled with tears. 'The way you

"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

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."

"pO NOW," repeated Doddap

words of English he kgewr. Anne
stared at him perplexedly a mo

"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.

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
