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,

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

His face had turned whlia. Hi.

Disna shruceed "He

"Philip Oliver Is dead." Mrs.
Willard reminded her.

Anne held herself In control
with an effort. "Yesterday you of-

"So he told you that, did he?"
