The Dagger Strike
MACKEY'S hand came down
hard on Anne'i shoulder.
They flattened below a cliff edge.
The rest dodged behind atonea
and the Nagaraa aent a (ew wild
ahota up the glen.
"Sweet serpents!" exclaimed
Mackey. "Have the Nagaraa ene
miea in their own territory?"
"Might it be aomebody trying
to rescue us?" Anne aaked.
"It could be a scouting party
from Shanl Lun looking (or
Blaze." he admitted.
The half dozen Nagaraa left un
hurt had organized their rifle Are
and checked ths advance from the
glen where the aniping had begun.
Mackey risked a glance over the
ledge and ducked aa a bullet
whizzed above hia head.
They're men wearing the
Turki headdress of Yangsar," he
cried excitedly. "They muat be the
Russian renegades."
"What are they after now?"
Anne asked, thoroughly terrified.
"God knows!" He looked around
desperately. "I wish I could get
you out of here or even hide you.
We're safer with the natives than
with these birds."
Judging from the rifle fire the
attackers had superiority of num
bers and they seemed to be ad
vancing. "Damn why haven't I a gun,"
groaned Mackey. But before the
words had left hia lipa his right
hand went up, palm out in the
sign of aurrender. Two men, rifles
in hand were converging on them
from the rear, creeping along
close to the ground. Suddenly,
ehouting and blowa could be heard
In other directiona. It had become
a hand to hand conflict. The ene
my rose and came forward boldly.
"They're the Russians, all
right," whispered Anne, noticing
that one of the men had a blond
beard.
"And they're at the
teeth," said Mackr : and
helping her to her fi were
motioned to keep u hands
nd were searched ly. The
blond man acrutm I Anne
harplv with his bleak, bloodshot
eyes. When he found the dagger
belt he spoke to her in Russian.
She could not understand, but
Mackey did.
"He calls you the Eye of Shy-
Nago. He's the leader of the gang,
he says. He recognizes the dag
ger. It's you he's alter."
Instead of taking the weapon
from her aa she half expected he
fastened a chapped and grimy
hand to her wrist, while the other
follow proceeded to bind Mackey'a
wrists with a cord. Mackey at
tempted to talk to them ana was
slrjck for his pain
"Be cartful, Anne, they're dan
gerous," he warned through
bleeding lips, and was knocked
down and kicked until he got up
again. Anne'a captor drew her for
ward roughly to the center of the
camp. The Nagaraa had been dis
armed and trussed. Diana and her
husband and Beth were brought
forward, hands tied. From behind
a rock two men dragged Oliver
fighting senselessly. Suddenly one
of them, in a rage, grabbed the
gun from his belt and struck the
American, cutting a bloody gash
In his head. Oliver, fell, atunned.
and was loft where he lay. Larry
submitted with better judgment,
Doddao likewise, talking himself
Into a job as interpreter. Anne
waa quick to observe that Slier
wood did not appear,
"Haa he been wounded or or
" she stopped, sic' with a
dreadful apprehension.
"I don't know," admitted
Mackey, pressing his lips against
his coat sleeve to staunch the
blood.
No Hope
'THE leader directed another
man to bind Anne'i hands,
after which he pushed her down
on a stone and admonished her.
she supposed, to stay there.
Two bodies were brought and
laid beside the native who had
lallen into the ashes Neither of
firm waa Sherwood's. Anne saw.
The lama answered a call of ttif
leader to interpret a parley with
the Nagara chieftain.
"Blaze! B'.aze! Blaze" Anne felt
afire with the silent summons.
She saw Diana catch the
leader'a eye and give him a look,
half appealing, half coquettish as
he lifted a hand in a little femi
nine gesture.
He scowled at her and stopped
before Anne, motioning her to
rise. "Where is Blaze?" Anne cried
while the man was unbinding her
hands.
Diana looked at her. He es
caped," she said, "though I sup
pose you're sorry he's not dead "
Anne said notiiing, rubbing her
wrists, her eyes downcast that no
one might see the sudden relief
loat had sprung to tfiem.
The Nagara chiefain had been
freed likewise. Now he was mo
tioned to lead the way, the lama
and Anne following, and they con
tinued the journey up the moun
tain. The going was frightful Anne
marvelled at her own fortitude,
5 rounded in the recklessness of
cspair. She did not care what
happened and the attitude aeemed
to give her an immunity from ac
cident The depth made no pull at
her sensibilities. Rocks remained
firm when she stood on them.
Slides braced to sustain her
Doddap fortified himself for
each ticklish pitch with hia chant
ing and the beating of hie little
drum. At least, Anne thought such
was his object until she saw tears
streaming down his face.
"What is it?" she asked.
"The time approaches. I fear for
the master." he said.
"But he's better off than any of
us. Diana saw him escape."
"He is in great danger," and
the lama renewed the beating on
hia little drum with a despairing
vigor.
Eventually they emerged on a
broad bleak tableland. Before
them atood a stonefenced en
closure with cross fences of stone
running here and there, dividing
the compound. In one section
stood a score or so of horses, their
saddles on the fence beside them.
In one of the yards stood two felt
tents. Smoke rose from the smoke
holes but there was no sign of
dogs, people or flocks. The brown
plain stretched wide and empty to
distant snow clad peaks.
The Nagara chieftain led them
Into the largest tent and Anne un
derstood at once that it had been
erected by herdsmen and left for
travelers, but not for these trav
elers. The leader posted a guard
outside and then ordered the men
to sit down and get out their food
bowls that they carried in the na
tive style. The place was warm
and becoming stifling. Anne re
moved her leather coat and of
fered to ladle the food so that she
would not have to sit down with
the men.
The little lama was the last one
served.
"What are they trying to do,
Doddap?" she asked, making a
slow and difficult task of filling
his bowL
"They will tell you," he an
swered somberly.
"Aren't there any natives here
to rescue us?"
"A camp on the river bank deep
In the canyon. They do not intend
to return until morning when they
come with more food "
"If only we could let them
know that things are wrong here!"
A squat Dlack bearded white
man thrust his food bowl between
them, jabbering angrily. Doddap
aat down beside the door.
"The leader is more of a white
man than the others," she thought
hopefully, "despite those bleak
bloodshot eyes.
Sudden Death
A NNE choked down a quantity
of the food fur her strength's
sake, aa she crouched beside the
fire cage.
Presently the weary men
stretched out. smoking the tobac
co thev had taken from their cap
tors. Then the leader came to her
and she rose hastily. He beckoned
for Doddap to join- them and ex
plained his intention to reach the
high priest of the Nagaraa and by
craft, or force if necessary, to
break his way through to Shy-a
Nago. As hearer of the sacred dag
ger he believed Anne would be of
use to him. He demanded a look
at the weapon.
The man spoke with sharp im
patience and Doddap translated,
tonelessly. "He says give it or he
will take it."
Anne saw the cold venom In the
white man's eyes. These three
stood alone in the center of the
tent back of the fire cage. The Na
gara chieftain had risen to his
knees and was watching them, the
blood drained from his brown
face. Anne, her back to the door,
slowly drew out the dagger, won
dering desperately if there was
any use she could make of it to
gain her freedom If she struck
him with the weapon she would
be helpless, at the mercv of the
others. To use It on herself might
be the last resort. She thought ol
the native tahoo without much
hope he would be Impressed.
"Tell him." she directed Dod
dap. "that unless he has the right,
the touch of this weapon means
death."
In answer the man gave a short
mirthless laugh and took a threat
ening step towards her. Anne
snatched the knife from its sheath
and held it in her palm point to
wards him, the sharp blade
gleaming, the green eve glowing
unnaturallv in the dusk like the
eye pf a live animal.
"Come and get it if you don't
believe me."
The man hesitated, staring a
moment as if some instinct
warned him of danger he could
not see or believe in. A line from
one of the men set him off. and
he seized the dicer from her
hand. His eves had lifted, looking
across her shoulder. Suddenly
thev widened
Hi' hand flashed up and threw
the knife.
Anne dropped Instinctively. A
bullet opened the man's forehead,
and he crumpled to the floor.
Sherwood sto.xi in the doorway,
the daccer hanging in the tent
felt be.i.ie him At his shoulder
was Mackey. a pistol in his hand.

Because at that time Cornwall. England, was the only district having experienced hard
