FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1940 CAE ROAD TO SAAN LON YESTERDAY; Lynn Brittonhas escaped from the two men who were taking her to the Prince of Sheni Lun, who had in effect bought her in marriage. But now that she is with Americans in a town.on China’s Yellow River, even Americans she knew well in the States, she cannot quite down her interest in her captors —good, wise Shedock, and hand- some Temu Darin. Her friend Peggy, and even Sam, to whom she had been engaged, seem a little tame to her. Chapter 19 Temu Again ‘'T YNN seems to be that kind of | person if she’s the heroine} I've been hearing about all after- noon,” Sam interposed. “What became of your broth-| er?” Peggy asked. | “I suppose he’s lost, toa,” said | Lynn ambiguously. Others interrupted them. Lynn’s story had spread and en- larged and became a sensation} among the foreigners in Lanfou. Added to this sensation had come | rumors of international import. A strange airplane was maneu- | vering about the territory illegal- | ly. One of the new low-wing| monoplanes. that was reported} capable of. piercing the strato-| sphere had dived down occasion- | ally for observation. The first ru- | mor made it a Japanese plane, | another, a Russian, a third, aj British, and a fourth had it that Chinese banditry had taken to the alr. The Chinese government had rushed in a couple of scouting ships to ,investigate. Agents of} other nations were reported to have chartered private Chinese planes to do the same. Word came that British India had made ar- Tangements to land aircraft on} the gastern border of Tibet if necessary. There was talk of a Moflammedan uprising that had} already begun in the north. “It’s like dancing while Ner fiddles,” cried little Mrs. Wallace, mies with heppy excitement. The clever man who was con- ducting the tourist party led Lynn to the floor. “Here’s hoping some- thing will happen,” he said gloomily. “Does my party thank me for keeping them safe? They do not, even the old maids.” Lynn laughed. “You mean least of all the old maids.” “T’'ve been tempted to hire river Pirates to board this vessel to night.” “] daresay a little suffering and | hardship would do your fourists good,” Lynn agreed. “And ruin me.” A tap on the gentleman’s shoul- der turned Lynn over to one of} the Chinese aviators, the best dancer on the boat, she soon dis- covered. He was a very good- looking young man with large, in- telligent eyes, perfect teeth, and a serious smile. Lynn surmised that the American college girl had done well in marrying him. She thought of Temu Darin and his master and asked abruptly, “Have | you ever seen the Prince of Shani | Lun?” The young man shook his head. “No, I haven’t. My government considers him a hard person to deal with. I've met his official representative, Temu Darin.” Lynn lost a step and recovered herself in a moment. “What do you think of Temu Darin?” “He’s an ace flying man; has the best luck in the air of any- body I ever heard of. The fellows} say it’s due to that horseshoe sca’ on his cheek. Aviators are a su perstitious Ict.” She smiled. “Superstition’s like magic. There’s both white and black.” They danced a while in silence. | The Chinese tailor had made Lynn a gorgeous and striking dress of blue penoy brocade on a rose-leaf pink. She was the belle} of the party and on the arm of | the best dancer on the boat. The| ye orchestra played a new and entic- ing tango. And, yet, she felt strangely lonely and restless in a} feminine way. Lonely. enough to| cry for no reason at all. Sudden Panic AD there been too much time for thinking since she arrived | in Lanfou? She could not dismiss | Temu Darin from the recesses of | her mind. He, seemingly, had shown her the way to the region of the higher dimensions of space, and regardless of where she went or where she stayed, she still felt | his disturbing presence at her} side. 4 Then, too, not once since she had been in Asia had the dream | of the lilac tree recu to her. She felt the need of its emotional power which kept her true to) some inner guidance. = | They had stopped near the rail- ing.as the music ceased. Sudden- | ly, Lynn turned pale and caught | the railing for support. Then the color flooded her face and her chin went up. Mr. Wallace had stepped through the rdoor from | the boat saloons He-was.not alone. “Temu Darin!” breathed Lynn. Tall and straight in a dinner jac- ket and black fié, he didnot look about the assemblage, but with his eyes straight ahead, followed | Mr. Wallace across the deck to meet. the plant specialist’s wife. The Chinese aviator hastily ex- | cfised himself to Lynn and went} over to him. The twenty-odd on deck had Bsa quiet and turned to stare tly. Lynn could hear Mr, Wallace e ing in excite- ment. Temu Darin was an envoy from the Prince of Shani Lun; he had come downriver in a pri- te jf on his way to Ni ie and one or | or for two you standing near were inwoduced. The orchestra struck up again and gavé Temu a moment's frée- dom. He turned and looked across at Lynn as if he had known all the time just where she stood- Their eyes*held for a moment, straight and steady. Then Mrs. Wallace required his attention and after a moment he asked her to dance. Sam came to Lynn for the dance, but she had sunk into a chair. She couldn’t talk; she couldn’t rise. He sat down beside her. “Who's the battle- scarred hero?” he asked. Lynn shruged her shoulders. Sam soon became slightly sentimental about meet- ing her in this unexpected way, and he tried to pry an admission from her that she was sorry she had thrown him over. In a light unthinking manner she countered his suggestions and by the time the music ceased, she had re- gained her self-possession. Mrs. Wallace brought Temu over and introduced him to Lynn. T've told him your story,” Mrs. Wallace added, her eyes shining with excitement. “I think you are a.very lucky | girl to escape those bandits as you did,” he said promptly. “Luck seems- to follow some. people,” she reminded him bland- His eyes flashed their -amuse- ment. “Yes indeed Miss Britton, Your horoscope was read by. our greatest astrologers when the Prince first learned that you were to be his—” Lynn trembled for a moment; he looked reckiess enough to say anything. “Guest” he finished. “May I have this dance?” She hesitated for a moment, then slipped into his embrace. Lightly, expertly, they circled the floor in silence. Lynn knew for the first time what it meant to dance with a partner whose mind and ‘spirit as well as his body complemented hers. She became rhythm, losing all ense of identity and the passing f time. He smiled into her eyes | and quietly thanked her, then ac- knowledged a: presentation to Peggy. . As he danced with her, Lynn accepted Sam’s second invitation. “You're dancing like an angel to- night,” he told her. “You mean a goddess.” He glanced at her shining eyes, her glowing cheeks. “I guess do,” he said huskily. Quiet Conflict ‘EMU had the next dance with Lynn. Afterwards, he drew her to the prow of the boat where various couples had sought seclu- jsion. Every eye followed them, these two tall, handsome, excit- ing creatures. “Won't we make ourselves con- spicious by our absence?” she protested faintly. “We have to talk and we can’t seem to dance and talk,” Seated in a secluded corner, Lynn became objective-minded again. “You have courage,” she said. “With a word I could have you put in chains or whatever it is they do with kidnappers in c > ou’d have given the word when you first told your story if you'd wished me put in chains.” She withdrew her shoulder from its contact with his arm. “T’ve been a little sap.” “I'm of your people, Tera Lynn. You couldn’t cause me harm any more than I could you.” Some- thing in the cadence of his low voice shook her nerves. hy did you come here?” she emanded. “To ask you to finish our jour- ‘nev. The Prince is becoming im- patient.” She clenched her hands. “T hate your Prince. My answer to him is no, no, and always no!” She used, struck by a thought and looked into his face. “Does he threaten to kill you, Temu, if you do not succeed in bringing me?” “He would cut out my heart.” he smiled as he said it. “What did he say when I es- caped being added to his harem? Temu_ grinned. “You are his harem, Tara Lynn. According to tradition you incarnated previous- ly as two manifestations of the Tara, the green and the white; one, a king’s daughter of Nepal, the other, a Chinese princess. He married you both; this time you come as one.” Lynn gave a short la “At least, I'm becoming concentrated.” “You are all women in one.” She turned and looked at him. “Are you ieeskne for. yourself ince? sighed, moving away a trifle, “I must not forget the Prince.” Lynn rose 4 stiffly, rising with her. “I mention the subject again.’ “You are offended now,” she murmured. “I don’t mean to of- see Bo you sometimes wish you could slap my face?” The orchestra struck a Se new melody ay said abruptly, ey swung along to the waxed floor of the deck.
