PACS SIX Ay RiT AWfilar NMa Chapter 31 Nagarat Again A WED by the suddenness of the retribution the rest of the men row to their feet, hands up. Sherwood ordered Doddap to possess himself of the fallen man's pistols. "Now keep those birds on the left of the fire cage covered. Mackey. I'll take car of the others." Anne had risen tremblingly and backed away from the dead man. "Come here." directed Sher wood. She obeyed. He asked If any of the men would like to try their luck and remove the dagger from the felt and see if he could fight his way free. There were brave and swaggering men among them, men unterrifled by the superstitions of primitive people. For all they knew their future was a wall and a firing squad. Yet no one volunteered. He smiled slightly. "Anne, put the knife where It belongs." She hesitated. "Put It awav." Sherwood or dered sharply. "Now sit down and get hold of yourself." She dropped to an empty chest near by. the Nagara chief staring at her. hia eyes shining with a fan natical light Was she not prov ing the dagger and herself? Perspiration stood out on Sher wood's face. "This is risky." he said to Anne through et teeth, "but safer than Irvine to disarm the men." He Hiiwrted the fellow nearest him on the right to advance towards the fire cage, deposit his weapons on the felts and return to bis nl !. The man dropped his revolver, unslung his rifle and bandolier and lay them beside it Sherwood spoke sharply and the fellow re moved his cartridge belt and threw It to the ground along with his dirk after which he re fum4 in his nlace. Anne felt that Sherwood had everything his own way. She could not understand the strain she sensed he labored under. "Get hold of those weapons and th ammunition." he ordered "and see if you know how to handle the revolver." ne gave ner a icw directions for loading the weapon. "Nnur vrnh vnur coat and set out and nide behind the second stone fence at the front before these men gather their wits and gang up on us. It any of them gets free and approaches you, shoot to kill." She stood staring at him for a moment In dismay. "Get out" he veiled. She ran and crouched behind th lecond wall as he directed. having passed the guard lying on the ground bound line a ounaie of hides. She understood now where Sherwood and Mackey had got their guns. Doddap followed her and took cover near bv. She could hear Sherwood barking orders to the men. The Nagara chieftain came out armed, and Joined the lama. Then Sherwood and Mackey whipped through the door. Shots followed, but not men. They vaulted the stone fences and fminri the others. "Master," said Doddap, "there's Nsgara camp in the canyon be low here." "The Nagaraa are Just as dan gerous to Blase as these white men are," Anne reminded the lama. "We must escape them both." Sherwood shook his head. "Not vou, Anne. You're safer with the Naaaras, He spoke to the chieftain through Doddap. directing him to take Anne to the camp on the river and notify the people of the presence of the white outlaws. He allowed the chieftain one of the rifles. The man stood up. A bul let cut his coat sleeve. New Attack IITTH a fusillade of gunfire the ' men burst from the tent and took refute behind the first wall "Too late." groaned Sherwood to Anne. "You'll have to stay here." "I can shoot," she said. He set her to ffuard the aate. ' ' Tl r"i rmiam nil, Hai4 lllAwa the wall whatever you do. But if anyone shows at that opening, gut him." Ha pasted the other men and a lively volley began. One outlaw vaulted the fence and was dropped. Another es caped unharmed. Then another their numbers too much for the little defense party. Crouching, Sherwood ran along the fence to Anne, "li looks he began. The Naurs chieftain shouted. There was a rush of men from the plain, tribesmen from the camp below, five, ten. twenty warriors armed with swords and rifles. Their clansman, the chief Iain, set them straight as to the trouble. "Star her till I return for you." Sherwood admonished Anne and followed the natives. The shoot- inc crMtM It hit hemm a hnit . to herd encounter of shouting and srreammg men. Anne clapped her hands to her ears In horror. She did not know how long she crouched there. Hovering clouds had covered the skr. Finally Doddap returned to her. "Sherwood saya you must stay here until things are made clean. He will come soon." She shuddered. "Did the Na garns take any prisoners?" "ineir villagers were massa cred by." They do as they are done Pea Workers Needed Pendleton, June 23. i,Ti least another 1.000 workers At are! Not such a dummy That fallow in our window Is wearing a new PALM BEACH SUIT $17.75 Stor for Men She smiled wanly. "What. Is happening to my friends that were left at the last camp?" He stood there beside her staring into the darkness. She de cided he intended to mike no reply when suddenly he an swered: "They were freed by snerwooa and are coming to us. A Nagara subcheftain leads the way." "Are you telling me poor Philip Oliver is able to travel?" "He walks with the rest; you shall see." "In this darkness?" They carry torches." Sherwood came out to them and drew Anne to her feet "Feeling a bit wobbly?" he asked. "Feeling something, sne so- mitted. "How does one go about having hysterics?" When he got her Into the tent he scrutiniied her face sharply, studying her eyes. "You're not going to have hysterics," he said, and motioned her to sit down on birch wood chest Me aroppea down on the furs beside ner. Then he asked: "How do the Nagarat dispose of their dead? Where's Pete?1' Hes busy, kef tauc 01 some- thins else." he suggested, and seemed relieved when the lama came in bringing him a bowl of food. It was a thicK soup con taining rice, flakes of meat, al monds, strange seeds they could not name. Ann': shared i taste of them. Said Doddao In leaving: snow has begun to fall." Then wolves will oe running tonight." Anne remarked. Thev won't bother our party," Sherwood assured her. "I know. He looked at her. "I'm lorry; I see you do know." "I can imagine that this tern is full of the wraiths of those dead men. Reunion HE gave her a look of dispalr and nut an arm around her. Please." he begged, "now listen. Don't let this thing get you. You ve come through so lar like a Spartan." But what Is going to happen to us? I, through my parent, am responsible for the others." He took one of her hands and held it to his cheek. "Nothing but their own characters can harm them either. I ought to warn you, Dianas up to some thing, I don't know what They'll all be here soon, I surmise." She moved awav from him. "You promised me you'd try to escape. "Though the knife came right at my head I did escape," he re mind. "d her. By Inches, she shuddered. But that's not what 1 mean. You had a chance to get out and in stead you came deeper." ne sal up lacing ner as me sound of many feet reached them. The two girls came in first, as sisted by sturdy Nagara soldiers and dropped down beside Anne groaning. "I'm here for life," declared Beth, with profound determina tion. "I'll ever go back over that trail." Anne could smile, now that thev were all here safe. She drew farther out of the way and wrapped a rug around her. By the time more food had been prepared and eaten she'd dropped asleep and wakened again re freshed. With Sherwood she told of the adventure with the dagger. Presently Beth went to the place behind the fire cage as signed to the girls as sleeping quarters, took off her shoes and declared; "Ready for bed; what a life!" She looked about the tent Anne sat beside Oliver. Mackey, despite his bruised lips, was play ing his mouth, organ, the doctor asleep beside, him. Bv the light of the fire Larry examined some flints he hid picked up along the trail. Diana and Sherwood talked together In low tones. "Wel'" murmured Beth, "do I sleep alone?" Her husband grinned at her. Anne said. "I'll be with you socn." Diana continued her talk with Sherwood, her head close to his. Suddenly, she straightened and turned and stared at him a mo ment Then she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him soundly. "You darling," she cried. Til take you up on that It's a bar gain, and she sprang to her feet and moved over to her place be side Beth. The doctor and Oliver con tinued to sleep. M.ickey's music blew a few sour notes before he could get himself under control again. Beth sat and stared at Sher wood in startled exasperation. Anne felt a trifle sick. He could say to her, "Loving you is the trick," and then turn around and move Diana to ecstacy with his magic words. Anne drew the furs snugly shout Philip and then tolned the girls. Hesitating a moment she finally removed the Nagsra belt and hung it acrosa a tent rib above her. "Not very comfortable to sleep in." she explained. Beth squirmed to on side t bit. "Don't let It fall on me. fd as soon he mixed up with a desert viper." Once In the night. Anne awak ened and listening heard the wolf Pack far out on the plain.
