PAGE FOUR [PRE ROAD TO SAAT LON YESTERDAY: On their way to the court of the Prince of Shani Lun, lovely Lynn Britton and her escort, Temu Darin, have arrived at the Mongolian monastery of Pallichao, from which a party issues to meet them. Frightened though she is by what amounts to her captiv- ity, she still cannot hide her in- terest in Temu, a Mongolian with great experience in the Western world, Chapter 15 Terrible Message “T= trail forks at the foot of Pallichao,” Temu said. “one branch going south to a mission on the Yellow River; the other continuing on west is our road to Shani Lun.” She looked at him with rising anger. “Our road! How sure you are of yourself!” His eyes held hers. “I want you to be sure of yourself, too.” “I am sure you will pay for this.” “Tm not harming you,” he said reasonably. She threw up her hands in des- pair. “You're quarreling with me and spoiling the scenery.” They both laughed. That, she felt, was the most maddening thing about her nature; her special weakness, a_sense of the ridiculous that adulterated any particular power of rage she might possess. Temu’s mount had been restless all.the time. Now, he sidled up to Lynn’s camel and snarled and ground his teeth. Lynn eyed him. doubtfully. _ “He's a big, black, Bactrian brute!” She stumbled a bit over the words. “Speak it swiftly,” Temu com- manded. “He’s a big, back, Blactrian boot!” They both laughed again. “The poor fellow’s showing symptoms of being in love,” Temu explained. “Last month, he had a fight with @ rival male and they almost Killed each other; wound their necks together and twisted and wrenched and kicked and bit the flesh from each other’s bodies.” “I think I prefer horses,” said Lynn. Suddenly, as if resenting her remark, the big beast swung and spat his cud at her, a huge mouth- ful of a soupy substance that seemed to Lynn like green grape pie and smelled like a chemical experiment gone wrong. She could hardly breathe. Temu dismounted swiftly and brought down Lynn’s camel, then helped her off with her sash and Mongol coat, laughing helplessly and apologizing, both at the same e. “I'm sorry, So sorry.” Lynn = half laughing and fall exying herself. Fortunately, but little of the mess had struck her face. tie any in my ear?” she He looked. “Clean as a sea spell,” he reported. ‘Lynn shuddered, fanning her face with her hands. “I'll never smell right again, I fear.” broke into another gale of laughter. B sorry. I never dreamed he’d do such a thing.” “Men on foot know they have to be careful of camels, but a mounted person is seldom as- sailed. Now you have been really irGtiated into caravan life. You are one of us.” Because the air was cool he wrapped a rug around her shoulders while they awaited the horsemen’s approach. Dick’s Letter dates were staying over a day in Pallichao, Lynn had been informed, to give the animals a day of good grazing before they entered the stony desert with its bitter water. The camp was set up at the foot of the below the Monastery. 5 Lynn, who was very tired, ‘woke in the morning refreshed, remembering that Sherdock and Temu had promised to tel] her why she was being compelled to to Delun. They sat after break- fest in the dining tent, Sherdock in his priestly yellow robe, Temu and the Duchess in their Mon- ent and Lynn in a soft, knit of silvery blue with white at the throat and wrists, which made her look particularly fem- inine and exotic in these sur- roundings. - Chin Pak brought in the dis- patch case and Temu took from it the envelope address in Dick Britton’s handwriting. Handing it to her, he explained, “This is the final communication your brother sent to the Prince.” : ynn drew out the letter with trembling fingers. My sister does not know the truth. I could not have per- suaded her to leave America had I told her she had been -asked not merely to visit the ~gourt at Delun, but to become its paincees She is the last girl in. the world, I have since dis- covered, who would be agree- e@ble to a marriage a! ‘efter the French custom.

Lynn sat a moment stunned, unseeing, the paper falling from her fingers. “To think that Dick would = | this to me!” she whispered, an added presently, “I suppose that le it easy for him.” He had practically sold her to this Oriental and deceived him in | the buying; had let him believe that an American girl would willingly come to him as a bride, satisfied with a marriage arrange- as made by a member of the Presently her eyes focused on Sherdock, his face calm and se- rene as he fingered his beads. She turned and looked at Temu. He met her glance, his face watchful, expressionless, but she noticed that his knuckles were white as he gripped the arms of his chair. Perhaps he had not been as confi- dent as Sherdock and the Prince that these revelations should be made. They explained many things. “Now, what do you think?” he asked in a level tone. “It’s incredible, unbelievable! Weren’t you educated with the Prince in Europe and America?” “Yes,” he frowning. “Didn’t you both learn that no intelligent American girl would willingly accept such an arrange- ment?” “The Prince took your brother’s word. You must remember that he is very much in love with you, and with the least encouragement a man in love believes what he longs to believe.” Sa “But you, the Prince’s friend, you weren’t in love.” He shrugged and smiled faintly, “Mine not to reason why——” She looked at the letter again. “Dick implies that the Prince might try to force me to marry him.” Temu spoke quickly. “The Prince wants you to come to De- lun so he may talk this over with you.” “There is nothing to say.” Story Of A Prince ‘H E thinks there is. He’s very much in love with you, con- vinced that you belong to him and he to you.” She turned to Sherdock. “Oh, Sherdock, you’re a wise man and a good man! Can you be a willing Party to this?” The priest sat in silence, look- ing at her, breathing on her as it were, his peace and serenity. “I love the Prince very much,” he said. “Let me tell you about him. He needs you.” Lynn sat back in her chair as Sherdock continued: “My family }has ruled Shani Lun since the breaking up of the empire of Kubla Khan. My brother, the Prince, had no male heir but it was revealed to me that our illus- trious ancestor had incarnated and would be found as @ child in a village of herdsmen north of Koko Nor. I would know him for he would come to me of his own free will and speak the words of our sacred mantra.” Lynn listened impatiently as he went on. “I headed the caval- cade that went in search of the |little Prince. And among the black tents in the grasslands north of the lake we found a child six years of age, whose parents had been murdered by robbers. | Somehow the boy had escaped the |fate of his elders, and attaching himself to a band of herdsmen, had_ managed to survive. “The natives presented their Jown terrified children who stood dumb before me as is natural with the wild children of the grasslands. They cuffed the or- Phan waif whenever he came near. “But the child was alert and which I found him. Present forced his way to me, 2 and ooking me straight in’ thé and loo! me in the eyes, he repeated the sacred mantra again and again with in- sistance and without prompting: Aum mani padme hum.” Lynn listened rather breath- ly. now, impressed by rofound sincerity. She could picture the child, ii and bewildered, his parents mur- dered while he was left to scav- enge-the camps of brutal Tibetan nomads or to die... But that was no life to join with hers. The priest smiled a little, the light of love and tenderness bringing se a SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CITIZEN—20ce WEEKLY.| e | OKEY GUARD | \KEY WEST UNIT ONE OF) FIRST IN UNITED STATES i i i | In a letter to Major Robert F.

He was frank and sincere with the people, took them into his con- ‘fidence and told them in words that were free of loopholes, free of any chance of misconstruing them: : “‘It appears to me proper, es- Pecially 4s it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the} Public voice, that I should now apprize you of the resolution I have formed to decline being con- sidered among -the number of, those, out of whom a choice is to be made’.
