PAGE FOUR THE ROAD TO SAAN LON by Rita_Aghlor YESTERDAY: More a prison- er than a guest, Lynn Britton is setting out by motor car to visit the court of a powerful Mongol prince. Her guard is a hand some, American-educated Mone got called Temu Darin; their chauffeur, now beating his head in the dust before Lynn, is an evil-looking fellow who yester= day, in the garb of a pilgrim, frightened Lynn badly. Chapter Nine Romantic Journey L YNN had started back in fright and bumped against Temu who steadied ner and ordered the man up. He rose to his knees and beamed at her. It was then she realized that the expression on his face as he looked at her had al- ways been one of adoration. Temu’s lips twitched. “This is Bula, the best camel man that ever drove a motor-car. He tells me he saw you when you first arrived at the temple-park the other afternoon. And he vows that the minute he set eyes on you he knew you were the Tara incars nate. He guarded the Chinese inn where you stayed until Sherdock came to your rescue.” “Well,” murmured Lynn and took a deep breath of relief, re- membering the burly form’ she had seen in the courtyard of the inn. “You'll learn to love him,” Temu predicted. “Bula is irre- sistible.” Lynn gave the fellow a timid smile. face lit up like the itted landscape of the moon and e drew out his knitting and held it up for her to admire—a little white jacket with tiny sleeves. “Pretty,” she declared and felt the soft wool. “Who is he making it for?” She fancied Temu looked em- barrassed for a moment and then he answered as if defying his own Personal doubts. “Sherdock pre- dicts his own death and rebirth within a short time. Bula is mak- ing him—what do you call it—a layette for his next incarnation.” “Oh!” Lynn laughed. “How de- licious! What remarkable people!” She met Temu’s eyes. “What in- teresting things I'll have to write home when I escape.” “Won't you!’ he agreed, garding her with a little smile. “Does this—does Bula know Dick?’ she asked. “Know him!’ exclaimed Temu. “Recently they had a row over a camel and promised to kill each other on sight. Bula tells me he got around his oath by keeping his eyes on you and refusing to look at your brother who was fortunate to have you along that day.” He motioned for her to en- ter the car, and following, placed the kitten basket at her feet. Bula started the car at once and slid down the h’utung, head- ing a caravan of heavy trucks fol- lowing closely be hind. They wound their way out of the city and up to a high, level plain stretching west and north as far as the eye could reach. it pressed in her corner looking out at the landscape, the kitten on her lap on top of the steady stream of traffic passed them. Truck elbarrows, Pekin carts, mule litters, coolie litters, and a 1 camel caravan, the two-humped beasts almost as furred as musk-ox. affic going their way car- n, immigrant fam- for the rich, rolling lands of Mongolia. These people, with their lined, yellow faces ris- ing above bodies huge with ragged, cotton garments donned one on top of the other to keep them warm, carried all their worldly po ions in carts or on their back: herded along be- fore them—pork, mutton, and children, all on the hoof. Neither she nor her companion spoke un- til they had covered several miles. A Goddess a thankful,” Temu re- ked, “that Shani Lun is} beyond the desert and safe from i on like this.” “Are your people so superior?” Lynn asked insolently. He smiled a little. “Perhaps not, only different. We import Chinese | workers but aim to take our pick as you do in America of Euro- Mongolians will not do manual labor; it doesn’t seem to! be their destiny. The only way a Mongolian will labor is to die and | be reborn a Chinese coolie.” He} glanced out of the window. “And what greater punishment could a| Mongol | Lynn’s ey following his! glance, saw two coolies bent un-| der the load of a heavy log coffin, | car? on top a live white| rooster and on the inside, she as- | sumed, a Chinese body being taken back to its ancestral bury-| ing ground She shuddered. “I wouldn’t care | to be reborr either.” “Sherdock says you were once! a Chinese princess, an emanation | of the Goddess Tara.” Lynn raised a skeptical eye- brow. “Do you believe that sort of thing?” “It’s a useful idea,” he smiled. “We saved your life with it the other night.” A dawning comprehension lighted her face. “So that’s what ou told the monks at the temple! hat I am a reincarnation of the goddess!” Te- curled fur rung | NEW LUNCHROOM OPENS ON FLEMING Announcement made on page one toc of the opening of a new lunchroom and ice cream parlor in this city. Tt will be called Lula’s Lunch, a Chinese coolie| ing. tlansen “Long ago it was predicted that the goddess would come from the West in her next rebirth. You can imagine how eagerly the people of Shani Lun await your coming.” He turned his tea-colored eyes on her. “Hadn’t you known be- fore that you were a goddess?” She laughed lightly. “I've a good opinion of myself at times, but I'll confess I’ve never gone that far.” The car nosed its way through a herd of sheep. “You'll soon get used to the idea.” He spoke in so matter-of-fact a way that she gave him a side- long glance. He was staring at the road ahead of them, his face ex- pressionless, the scar on his cheek towards her darker in com- parison with the smooth brown of the rest of his skin. If he were a vain man, she thought, he would have taken her side of the seat and given her his, for she sensed that despite his high-handed banditry in carrying her off he wished to stand well in her eyes. Yet, she admitted, as she had the first time she saw him, that the scar did not dis- figure him. She wondered how he had acquired it—a birthmark ora duelling reminder—or was it the imprint of a small horseshoe? A muscle twitched along the lean line of his jaw. “A mule kicked me when I was a kid,” he said. Lynn started. The remark left her confused and speechless. He had read her mind so aptly. When she saw he had no comment to add, she thought all around the subject and presently observed: “Dick thinks I have some of the attributes of a mule.” A smile elevated the corners of his mouth. “So I surmised.” “If you’d like to send me back at once, I promise to make no trouble with my government for you or for your Prince.” The eyes he turned on her were bright with amusement—or some- thing else, perhaps appreciation, perhaps a touch of mockery. She could not tell. “Tl take my chances,” he said. Another Clue ees were climbing gradually to higher altitudes. The traffic on the road had become sparse. Temu ordered the car stopped, and with a pair of field-glasses, stepped out and looked back at his caravan. Lynn picked up the kitten and followed him. When he said nothing she crossed the road and walked away a little distance to the ruin of an ancient stone wall. A feeling pos- sessed her that she would be stabbed at any moment by a sharp command to halt. When she put the kitten down it stretched and arched and straightened out again and then stiffened, looking brightly around for a possible enemy. An emigrant family came toiling up the road. Lynn put the kitten on top of the wall where it would be safe from their dog that ran ahead of the ragged children who were pulling another dog along by the hair. The father led a donkey draw- ing a car heaped high with the family’s household goods. On top of the load rode the mother, heavy with child and carrying a baby pig in her arms. Another child followed behind her, howling at the top of his lungs. Lynn was glad to hear him yelling so lustily; it indicated that nothing much was the matter. Temu stepped forward and spoke to the man who stopped and bowed respectfully. The chil- dren clustered round and 3 stream of sing-song talk began tc flow. Temu’s gestures and fea- tures became purely Oriental, Lynn observed. He’s being truly himself now, she thought, he’s shed his Western veneer. With hands that shook she took out of her purse the envelope she had prepared for just such an op- portunity and slipped it into the pocket of her coat. Picking up the kitten she strolled over to the |group. The mother slid down from her perch on the car and re- leased the little black pig, which went off stretching its short hind | legs. Lynn held out the kitten for one of the children to pet. He struck it instead. The mother cuffed him and smiled apologetically at the girl. Lynn waited until Temu’s back was turned _as he conversed with the man. Then she pressed the envelope into the woman’s hands, making signs for secrecy. The pig _came sniffing round their feet. Temu stepped back and spoke to Lynn about the animal. “Its face is cleaner than that of any of the children,” he said. She agreed. “Would it do any good to give them soap?” “They'd eat it.” He took silver coins from his pocket and tossed them to the youngsters before he spoke again. “Come, Lynn, we must be go- His calm appropriation of her given name both startled and an- gered her. But she went with him silently, exultant that she had passed on the letter. The rest of the caravan was close behind. They passed through several squalid villages and final- ly handed their papers to a border patrol, which evidently bore dis- turbing news for them. Temu be- came more alert, scanned the horizon frequently with his glasses. To be continued Room and Ice Cream Parlor, lo- cated at 82212 Fleming street.

Like most fine novels, it is ex- traordinarily simple. It is merely | the story of a young American fighting in Spain for the Stalin levil against the Hitler-Mussolini evil. The young American’s name is Robert, and he has been a year in Spain. Then one day he is given an assignment by one of the Russian commanders; it is to blow a bridge, and it is probably ;hopeless.
