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-

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

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
