FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1940 Becccccecs ee THE ROAD TO SAAN LUN by Rita phi: YESTERDAY: Lynn Britton, a | captive on the way to a “visit” with @ great Mongolian prince, has made innumerable trials at escape, and failed. But now she believes she has found a friend in the French mechanic of the party, who has agreed to meet her at the camp well, at mid night. But he does not eppear, and Lynn finds herself shrinking from shadows which seem to fol- low her. Chapter 13 Protecting Hand another shadow and an-/ other—menacing forms of the| large camp dogs. Lynn had heard dreadful things about these huge, black Mongol- ian mastifis with ruffs on their} necks, giving them the ferocious appearance of lions. They scav- | engered the fields of the dead and | sometimes did not wait for a man | to die. She began to run as fast] as she could through the drag- ging sand and made for a huge boulder that loomed ahead along the edge of the dry ¥ her back to this, she might figt the dogs off for a while. | She stumbled and fell, then got | up and staggered on, and finally | fell again and ley for a moment paralyzed with fear at a sudden, quick pattering of feet throug! the sand behind her. A hand was laid on her shoul- der and withdrawn. “Have you had enough?” asked | Temu Darin, dropping the rein @f"his pony and crouching down beside her. She tried to struggle to her feet. “The dogs!” she gasped. “My dogs won’t hurt you,” he said, throwing a rug over hi shoulders and folding it ac her breast. She knelt there facing “What a failure 1 am!” sobbed, trembling uncontrollably. “You're struggling against big odds,” he remarked reasonably. Insurmountable odds, if only I could make you believe it, Lynn. Why wear yourself out like this’ She sat and looked at him whi Tegaining her breath and self- control. Finally she shook her head in despair. “I am an American girl. I was born free. I feel the equal of men when it comes to personal free- dom. I want to be master of my own fate. I'm not like your E: ern women.” She made a little gesture of futility. “Oh, I suppose} I cannot make you unders He bent towards her and her gaze. “I've known Amer: girls before you. I think 1 un stand them very well. If you'd trust you intuitions a little more} and your scheming intellect a little less—” he stopped. “I’m the one who cannot make you under- Stand.” He rose and drew the horse to him, helped Lynn into the sad- dle, and sprang up behind her, heading the horse towards camp. “That Chinese trading post yo were making for— it would have been better for the dogs to get you.” | “T'll escape you somehow,” she | promised, through teeth set against their chattering, ‘“some- times, somewhere.” “I saw you leave the tent. Why did you stay so long at the well?” he demanded. She mu s st not betray the Frenchman, she saw. “I was thinking,” she replied quic “thinking and planning.” “Sure you weren't expecting the Frenchman?” { “Could he asked lightly. “I shouldn't wonder.” Sudd | Temu chuckled. “Poor devil, you} should have séen him. He's been fidgeting’ in my tent for the last hour. Fortunately, he’s one of the crew driving the trucks back to Pai Shu in the morning. I shall tuke good care that you do not encounter him again.” So he might have been able to help her, after all, Lynn thought, with a sense of overwhelming dis- appointment. The Clues Return ER captor drew up in front of the tent and dismounted. Lynn slid down, hemmed in be- tween him and the horse. It seemed he had something to say. Her eyelids fluttered wearily | and then stiffened, steeling her- self against the faint smile curv- ing his lips and gathering round his eyes, which were black pools of light in the radiance surround- ing them. “I want to return your pos- sessions,” he said, drawing aj} handkerchief and some papers} from his pocket. | She took them without a wor the note she had left at the Ch nese inn, the handkerchief she had dropped in Pai Shu, and the letter he had given the emigrant woman—even the diamond ring. “I let the woman.,keep your money.” “Are you.sure you don’t want the handkerchief to remember + 3 by?” she asked with an effort flippancy. i “I don’t need anything to re- member you by,” he said. “You are never out of my thoughts. She looked up at him with new hope and pressed light, enticing fingers against his breast. “Temu, if you like me the least little bit, let me return with the caravan in the morning. You will win my gratitude, my admiration, ma bribed?” she y: “You misunderstand,” he inter- rupted, stepping back. “I am the Prince’s friend and incorrupt- ible.” He raised the tent flap that i, iter. she mien eed with tears of! Ic! | be on the march.” | she could fi } with iss_ Hanson humiliation and anger. “You're a devil!” she told him fiercely. He stopped for a moment, a hand on her arm immediately withdrawn. “Tve news for you, Tara Lynn. When we teach Pallichao day af- ter tomorrow, Sherdock and I will tell you the facts about the difficulties between your brother and the Prince.” “Tell me now.” “No,” he said, decidedly. “It is Sherdock’s story.” She studied his face with puz- zled, wistful eyes. “Are these the latest orders from Delun?” “The very latest from the Prince himself.” He called a sen- try she had not seen before and had the horse led away. The Duchess awoke and mak- ing a light, demanded to know what the disturbance was about. Temu put his head inside the tent and talked to her for a mo- ment. She looked sat Lynn and ded and laughed in a mis- hievous way. Temu explained in English. “I told her we went for a ride in the moonlight.” Something quizzical his expression caused Lynn to color faintly. He possessed a power she had never met before, a power that made her feel un- certain of her independence and a bit in awe of his own self- ery. He was strong in a way to her experience of young ‘You’ve a couple of hours to sleep,” he said. “Make the most of them.” On Camel-back YNN fell asleep quickly, her fears and rebelliousness paci- cified by Temu’s promise to re- veal the difficulties between the Prince and her half-brother. It required more than a shaking in the morning to awaken her. |Gersing called in Temu Darin. uu must jump up at once,” he aid with authority. “We'll soon “I can’t wake up,” she pro- tested. “I was never so sleepy before in my life.” “It’s this air and altitude.” “If I could have a shower—” and she was ep again before the sentence. Gersing drew her to a sitting position and with the aid of the Chinese girl thrust her pajama- clad arms into the sleeves of a dressing gown. They lifted her to her feet and persuaded her to step into slippers. “Come,” said Temu, “you shall | have your shower.” They led her into his tent which ed a patent shower ar- ment. Little Bamboo stayed her, giggling yet half- terrified that Lynn might not come out al from this heroje ordeal. The water stung Lynn’s flesh like needles of ice, but she reappeared tingling and alert and alive, just in time to see the tail- end of the motor caravan leav- ing for Pai Shu. “There goes the Fenchman,” she thought with dismay, “and my last contact with white people.” After breakfast the Duchess ‘e her Mongol boots and trous- and a fine fur-lined cloak buttoned in Oriental fashion on the shoulder and downthe side. “You'll need the outfit,” said Temu. “There's no windshield on a camel.” He went out and Lyna slipped n: go |into the garments and looked down at herself. Temu returned with a length of gay crimson n. Little Bamboo brought her tress a hand mirror, the one been given to the Mon- nan at their last camp. Temu’s eyes. In a mo= were smiling at each ‘Your luck won't last mi | forever,” sl 2 promised him. “Tl hold the sash,” he said, “and you wind yourself in it. It will be a binding against stitches in the lurch and scramble of your riding camel, and besides, it will make you look like a true Mongol maiden.” Lynn whirled towards him winding the sash about her waist. He tucked the ends in skillfully. “Now,” he said, “you'll learn what it’s like to ride a camel.” They went outside. Men struck the tent immediately. The cara- van was lining up, led by a man on a pony carrying a long-han- died lance with a red horsehair tassel below the blade and a pen- non with the blue and yellow col- ors of Shani Lun. An armed uard of horsemen circled the camp. A pair of camels, with unlim- bered machine guns attached to their saddles, snorted and | screamed restively as their driv- ers maneuvered them through the confusion of the camp. Lynn laughed. “Battle-ships of the desert. What does a camel do when the gunner on his back starts target practice?” “He usually obeys his master because he’s trained to,” Temu informed her. “But the training was difficult because camels are more terrified by what they hear than by what they-see. This is your mount,” he said, as a tall, glossy brown animal with a tremulous lower lip was brought up and made to kneel. “She’s a gentle young camel and I don’t think you will have any trouble with her. we travel steadily without stopping at noon and make camp early enough for the camels to graze before dark.” Lynn had experienced an occa- sional earthquate. She had ridden a surfboat and the neck-jerking contrivances in amusement parks. Once or twice she had stuck to a bucking horse. Now it seemed to her the gait of a camel was the combination of all these things.
