JUNT, 25, 1941. by Hit Attffcr NarvMr," Chapter 33 Fight For Life TPO SEE your own mother sreep ing. if she It a hardy woman, is one of the most terrifying experi ences on earth. It ties the heart Into knots of unendurable pain. "Mother." Anne pleaded, "we'll be all right We'll work things out I know a way." The natives had risen In a body. Soldiers sprang forward, fearing to touch her, yet waiting for a word from the high priest. Anne rose and looked at the pair steadi ly. "I stay beside my parents." . The man rose and ordered the native spectators to quiet them selves, the soldiers to step back. Then through the interpreters, he spoke to Anne sternly. "What are we to believe? The dagger killed the man you told our people was to be your mate." "I told them he was the man I had come to marry," she answered quietly. "He was the man my par ents expected me to marry." "Was he your husband?" "No." "You dare come to us alone, yet demanding the gift of our treas ure. You shame and condemn your parents and bring death upon yoor own head." There was a murmur among the natives. The translator added, "He says you may speak now." "You see that I carry the dag ger," she said, holding the weapon up before them. "It recognizes my mastery. It has kept me secure through hunger and treachery and tnreat or death. The high priest acknowledged her argument "The dagger knows you. the dagger has its place. You nave your place. But still you fail us." Anne knew she was fighting for ner lire, ana glanced at the lama, but he was staring down his nose and gave no sign. She went over beside Sherwood, sitting at the end of the column beyond her father, and deliberately put a hand on his shoulder. Her face was flushed, her eyes bright with determination. Her voice rang clear. "Now I show them a son. I de clare this man, your prisoner, to be my husband." Sherwood gave her a look of sharp surprise, and rose. Following the translation of her words, a commotion broke out once more among the tribesmen. Some cheered, some growled, there was a flash of swords and bavonets. Beth was staring at Anne In delight Larry and Mackey in doubtful surprise Diana, with anger and contempt Dr. Mar taine. the silent, suddenly laughed aloud. Anne's parents gazed at her with mixed emotions. When quiet had come again, the high priest addressed her once more. "We hsve been warned to watch for trickery. You tell us one man is yours; then you tell us another man i. vnnr. Whnt ir, m, k. lieve?" Without waiting for her to reply he reminded her, through the interpreter, how the first had come to his death and now she was subjecting the second to the same ordeal. Think carefully. If speaic not truth, you con demn him to death and make no gam tor yourself." Diana rose to her feet Impetu ously. "Blaze, tell them the truth or i snail. Before he could reolv Ann an swered, "I have told the truth. He is my nusDand. "You lie." cried Diana and ap. pealed to the high priest. "She hates this man. She desires his aeam. ner marriage is a mockery. She has vowed to betrav him." The priest listened to the trans lator and regarded Anne gravely. "What have you to sav?" "He is my husband." she re peated coldly. "But ask him. Let him make his own declaration." The hish priest asked him. Does this woman speak the truth?" Irrevocable Decision CHERWOOD took his time. Anne's heart began to pound; he was capable of springing some thing entirely unforeseen on her. The place had become exceeding ly quiet as if the natives sensed a tension not yet comprehended. "She speaks the truth," he said quietly. "We are man and wife, will you accept us?" The priest listened to the trans lator and scanned a paper one of the scribes had handed him. "The stars accept vou." he said. Anne gave DoddaD a look nf nrntiinH as the priest continued, addressing Sherwood. "Yet in man is an inner guide. If you are the man of this destiny foretold in our prophecy, . tik ' nr,w 've vou vrovt tie pninica In Ihm nv n stones ou see blood evidence that others have tried and failed " Further trials. Anne's spirits sank as she watched a soldier slash the cords that bound his wrists and then free her parents' hands. The four of them ur. .a across the wide platform to ih.lsaid Diana massive door with its seal of ai Blaze smiled. niuuaii njture. The priest raised his hands and chanted an invocation to the sprit of the door and then listened as if he were waiting for an answer. Then he nodded to Sherwood. "Now take the dagger and cut the seal if the strength and the power is yours." Anne held out the strange wea pon on the palm of her hand, as usual feeling the tingle, as if it had a life of its own. He smiled, took Arm hold of the dagger and turned to the door. She moved over quickly between him and the natives, half fearing their excitement and frenzy might put a bullet in his back. He stood and studied the seaL Sherwood's face was calm and intent. Anne sensed anew the strength of a self-discipline which intensined tn ntm tne art or liv ing, yet never shirked the con tingency of dying. "Ah!" he cried suddenly, struck the knife into the eye of the image and pulled down smartly. The mechanism gave. The wooden halves of the great door parted and began to awing outward. A mighty sigh went through the temple. Hardly knowing what she did, Mrs. Willard kept patting Sher wood's arm. But the interpreters hastily broke in. The high priest motioned for Sherwood to give the dagger to Dr. Willard. "Seize the handle firmly, sir," suggested Sherwood, "otherwise it's like a nettle." "Something more to Investi gate," said the doctor, as a long brocaded priestly robe was placed upon his shoulders. They fell into processional form and went down shallow steps past the wall screen into a broad, paved causeway, and paused involuntarily. Before them, on the plain, stood the great red stone ruins of Shy-a Nago. An incredible pile of build ings Interlaced with a maze of streets temples, palaces and monuments. A river nowed along the south wall and beyond it lay the inhabited native village in an irrigated garden spot. The priest drew their attention to a shrine at the side of the avenue where they stood. A daz zling bronze stupa, a relic reposi tory, the oval cupola supporting a slender finger spire that ended in a point of fire like a diamond crust Here the sacred daffffer h. longed. "They're expecting you to re place it. sir," prompted Sherwood. Dr. Willard walked over and hung the weapon in the deep niche that was its original resting place, the eye looking south to the "land of mystery and bliss." Blow THE ceremonies were over, the sun hart Hmnnr4 Inn, in th west and the white neoole were assembled in what had once been an extensive palace garden wait ing tor their temporary camp to be pitched. Mackey and the Huffs twinkled their eyes at Anne and Sherwood, who was approaching her. She rose to face him, un smiling. "Remember telling rrtte you In tended to do everything in your power to prevent this expedition's winning Shy-a Nogo?" " I remember," he admitted, re garding her gravely. Diana Joined them. "Good work. Blaze," she said, and added. "I have a message here for Dr. Willard." She handed him the envelope she had received the morning they loft Willow Dig. The older man smiled at her m his kindly way and opened the missive. Anne felt her heart rise up In her throat with sudden fear for him. She saw his bewilnVrmnt as he read aloud, "dismissed for incompetence and gross neglect Dr. Philip Oliver herewith di. reeled" His face had turned whlia. Hi. wife read the sheet irrnu hi shoulder. But but Mr. Paxmnro ran treat us this wav," she cried, turn ing to Diana. "The finding of this cily is the biggest thing we've ever done. He can't take it away from us now." Disna shruceed "He expedition should be in th. hnH. of a younger man." "Philip Oliver Is dead." Mrs. Willard reminded her. My husband is here: he can carry on. Anne held herself In control with an effort. "Yesterday you of- icrra me jod to Blaze. "So he told you that, did he?" Anne failed to correct the Infer ence and Diana went on, "The of fer will not be repeated. You two "Father still runs this expedi tion. Anne interrupted her sharp ly. "You've winded him for a mo. ment but you needn't think he won't defend his rights. We shall Sherwood caught her eve and shook his head to silence her. She found herself obeying. . iou. at least see the I g it" Te fee eeoUna: AS BRITISH ALLY London.
