PAGE FOUR ! SOCIETY --: THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FEATURED SPEAKER THE ROAD TO SAAN! LON] YESTERDAY: Lynn Britton, lovely American girl just has discovered that her scapegrace half-brother Dick has, in effect, sold her in marriage to a Mon- golian prince. Sherdock and Temu, friends of the Prince who are escorting Lynn to his court, have explained the mystic origin of the Prince and Lynn is fasci- nated in spite of herself. Chapter 16 Girl In A Trap YNN regarded Sherdock with | his L a sense of helplessness. “Have you any recollection of your life with King Sron-btsan- Sgam-po?” Sherdock asked. Lynn glanced at Temu, unable to interpret the inscrutable smile on his face. Did he believe this stuff or was he secretly laughing? “I certainly have no such mem- ories,” she said. “Your life, the Prince’s, mine, theirs,” he nodded at Gersing and Temu and Chin Pak, “all our lives have run parallel before.” Contrary to a carefully edu- cated skepticism, Lynn thrilled to the idea. Surely, the mystery of life is much deeper than any glib scientific attempt at explana- ion. Sherdock continued, “Perhaps we did unwisely in dealing with your brother and now we have to Pay for it in this difficulty with She looked from him to Temu. “Why didn’t this Prince of yours come for me himself?” She no- ticed a hesitation as if each man Waited for the other to reply until ‘emu answered: zo “Leaving his own domain is rather risky for a ruler these days, especially in this part of the world. The Prince has enemies; there are even certain powerful governments that would like to gee him out of the way. He is safest in his own domain.” She held his eye for a moment. “You call that love?” “We are not trying to prove anything now. You will have your of of love when you reach De- Lynn stiffened. “The whole ing is preposterous. I demand that you send me home at once.” They merely sat and looked at her. She realized there could be no hope of help from Sherdock who was wrapped up blindly in the desire to serve his beloved Prince and pupil. She held out a Pleading hand to Temu Darin. “Temu, you say you came to know American girls when you were in my country. You must - Sas how impossible this His eyes had narrowed. “Do you wish to go back and marry your banker?” “I do not wish to marry any- body!” she cried wildly. “I doubt if I even like the idea of mar- riage. It is all so mixed up with settlements and laws and material advantages and necessities and a sense of possession — everything but love. I'm no chattel. 'm a human being with rights and re- serves of my own.” “If you married the Prince you might learn to love him.” “Stop it!” she commanded. “I’ve heard silly arguments like that before. The Prince is not the only man who wished to marry me be- eatise he saw that picture.” Sherdock interposed: “If you could only have shared my expe- rience in finding the boy! He had beaten and starved and frozen, but he was still un- daunted.” “Many appealing little boys grow into strange specimens of manhood!” she retorted bitterly. “Look at my own brother!” Temu shrugged. “Then let us forget it until we reach Delun.” ‘m not going to Delun,” de- Lynn rising. He came to his feet smiling grimly. “Sorry, but you're going to do as we say.” Anger and loathing and an in- ner sense of helplessness dark- ened her eyes. “You beastly Mon- golians!” she raged, White Ruler “ST down again please!” Though Temu did not touch her, she felt literally pushed down into her chair by the per- sonal force of his words. “We have something more to tell you. It happens that the Prifice is a white man and not a ‘beastly Mongolian.’ His parents were mis- sionaries recently come from America.” Lynn’s only experience of a 's son happened to be unfortunate. Her lips tightened. Fo Pag a makes no aoe Td be better off with a superior member of an alien race than with a second-rate white man,” Lynn answered, rising to leave the tent. Then she stopped, arrested by a sudden flood of crimson that had suffused Temu’s bronzed face. Slowly a little smile deepened at the corners of her mouth. She him a second glance and he her eyes. ‘ou are courageous,” he said. “And, claim to be incor- ruptible.” She turned and went out. Well, he was a superior man | j of an —— race, = — had manag get un is skin. Could she stay there? Lynn, left alone for the rest of the morning, had time to think. Naturally, the Prince would make Temu, a man with some white blood in his veins, his friend and | confident. She could see Sher- | dock’s ——- aes they | identined with their nation, They | Robert R.

The reincarnation story was hi ly less incredible than the facts of is own life. Born in America! Orphaned in the Tibetan wilds under horrible circumstances. Few white men could stand up under it. Had his parents remained in America, he would probably have grown up to be a lawyer or a business man or a ditch digger. She wondered how he com with Temu in character and worth and was willing to wager that the Mongol would prove the superior of the two. Temu would not be an easy man | to circumvent. The thing to do, | she saw, was to accompany the caravan willingly so long as she must and escape when oppor- tunity came. That the oo, would come, she felt absolutely certain.

The abbot was a fat young man who held’ his “head down and looked up at one un- der slanting brows. Lynn won- dered if it denoted slyness or merely shyness. Sherdock was in high spirits. Somehow Lynn did not hold him as accountable for her plight as she did Temu. Temu was a con- temporary and should understand her point of view. Sherdock longed to the past generation. He caught her watching him polish a duck’s wishbone. Mongols felt, she knew, that to waste meat is {daughter of Enos S.
