WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER THE . YESTERDAY: Lynn Britton end an American friend, Pegoy Telford, are being whisked out of Lanfou, a Chinese city on the Yellow river, in a plane piloted by one Temu Darin. Temu’s mission in life is to deliver Lynn to the Prince of Shaft Lun, who wants to marry her against Lynn’s will, and to dispose some- how of Peggy, who is excess baggage at the moment. Chapter 23 Facing Death f Bee Steadied his plane and gave it the gun as they headed north by west. They followed, roughly, a tributary of the great Tiver, passing over peaceful mud- brick compounds and_ villages until a town of considerable size appeared, its western portion a mass of flame and smoke. Temu lifted the speaking tube. “Howshek, a Mohammedan stronghold,” he said. “They seem to be cleaning out the people of | different faiths.” Beyond the town on a mighty Plain rose smoke from the ruins of a score of smouldering villages. The storm was rolling up like an angry visitation of a horde of na- ture gods and demons in an at- mosphere strangely hushed and breathless that changed color as they watched, from a clear, trans- parent sunlight to a menacing yellow-green. The girls saw Temu Darin shake his head and look down for ; a landing place. This was not a storm that could be ridden out. “Heavens!” muttered Peggy “Something tells me 1 have gone to Nanking with Sam This storm and the look that one- eared Mongol gave me! Things are piling up.” “I thi t wanted,” said L; gol’s name is Bula. “Fate needn’t overdo One consolation is, that fall among Mohammedans, I saved while he goes up in flames. He looks greasy enough to burn like a torch.” They had been in the air less than half an hour. As they lowered over the terrain it proved deceiving. What had appeared to be smooth, level plain broke up into ridges and flats between in- credibly deép canyons in the fine, brown soil. On the flat-topped ridges were crazy-quilt fields of that’s what you . “The Mon- green in jagged little hollows that | looked craters. Temu dropped low, pancaked in | an unexpected air current with-| out mishap, and landed near a dilapidated walled village perched precariously on the edge of the canyon. The town had not as yet been ravaged by fire. Temu leaped from the pl: “Hurry!” he urged the gir ing their hands as they came. like miniature volcanic Ye one; after the other to break the force of the jump. Chan and Mongol had already Seized the luggage. They all raced tewards the village gate. Seeing they could not make it in time, Temu shouted an order. Obedient- ly they threw themselves face downward in one of the tiny. green crater fields and dug thei fingers into the soil and clung to the barley roots as the wind swooped down. tearing at their garments and the flat bulks of their bodies like hands in a fury of rage. The plane took a run, rose a bit, and then dived into the jaws of the canyon. “That’s that!” groaned Temu. As the velocity of the wind lessened a trifle and rain began to slant down in stinging sheets that quickly cleared the air of dust, he rose and drew the girls to their feet. The five of m made theirgway to the vi eS Yeaning against the wind an water and breathing when the storm allowed them to. Haven 0 a passed through the open gate into a deserted street and found refuge in the first court- yard, An old Chinese in pigtail and ragged, quilted garment led them to a dark and dingy room with its inevitable kang, which was both mud stove and chimney- bed. Straw and animal chips were at hand to kindle a fire. ., Bula drew flint and steel from | e blouse of his coat and skill- ly made a blaze with little joke to blow back into the room when the. wind took a reverse motion. The girls dried them- selves as best they could and then curled up on the kang for warmth. Chan had secured a saucer of/ Sheep’s fat containing a string wick which he lighted and placed on the little table on the kang. The one smajl window in the room was sealed with smoke- grimed paper. Peggy took a comb from her purse and began to draw. it through her flaming hair, She glanced round the dark little hole with. its, blackened walls and the pope ry, smoky smell of hinese hovels in the cooler lati- tudes. She shuddered a_ little. Lynn understood what she felt though she did not share the emo- tion of distress. fi The suave, neat Chinese hoy was making tea over the fire. The Mongol, looking like a devil-doc- r, squatted in one corner of the irt floor smoking a pipe, knitting, gag, seuliering prayers between puffs. Temu came striding in, tall and dynamic. His brown strong-fea- tured face with its scar gave him an appearance of a man Possessing powers alien to the average experience.

Temu sat down on the kang facing the girls and loosened the neck of his leather Mongol cpat. He looked at Peggy compassion- ately and then stared at Lynn. Her cheeks glowed from their bath in fresh rainwater. Her breast rising and falling in slow easy rhythm, blue eyes gleaming through half-shut lids, pursed lips full and crimson with healthy- color, she appeared as vital and {alive as a snow leopard. “Peril seems to agree with you,” jhe remarked. “You can depend on Lynn for the unexpected,” said Peggy | wearily. } “I think [m under a_ spell,” |murmured Lynn, “for wherever jI_am in this strange land I feel jat home, and whatever happens f feel is part of the plan as long as |I keep true to something that is inside me.” Suddenly her eyes widened and she sat up and looked around. ‘It .seemed for, a. moment as though Sherdock was here,” she cried wonderingly. “I fancied I heard him chuckle.” Temu gave her a quick, alert scrutiny with a suggestion of ex- altation about it, that enfolded her in a warm embrace as pal- pable as if he had taken her in his arms.

What would she be worth, Temu, with that red hair of hers?” Temu studied her carefully with twinkling eyes. “I know a \fellow in Hami who might give a thousand pounds.” “I venture to say that’s more than Sam would give right now,” laughed Peggy. “I’m afraid I made a mistake in marrying Sam.” Temu spoke to the Mongol. “Play us some music, Bula.” The man drew from the blouse of his coat a tiny trumpet made of a child’s femur bone and gave them a melody that reminded Lynn of the songs she had heard Navajo shepherds sing. Even after the men had gone to their sleeping hovel next door, Bula continued to play. When his music had ceased the tempest out- side carried on like the voices screeching demons in the fre! of a devil-dance.

Almost a year ago trustees of the institution abandoned the sport on an intercollegiate basis. Football, though, of not one but two varieties is being played on the midway campus. True, the games go on before empty stands—stands once filled by throngs cheering great Chicago teams. But the players work hard at the game even though they know they'll earn neither plaudits of the crowds nor their school letter. Six-Man Game Under supervision of Coaches Kyle Anderson and Nels Norgren, the latter the Maroon basketball coach, the six-man game was in- troduced early this fall. Turnouts have been excellent, with some 10 intramural teams competing twice weekly. But the six-man game already has lost a decision to the regular 11-man sport. Early in October, Coach Ander- son learned that some 20 of his six-man football players were much better than the other com- petitors. They asked to be al- lowed to play the regular 1l-man game, and were permitted to practice in a group. Later the 11- man outfit scrimmaged the American College of Physical Ed- ucation team, representing a small local school. The Maroons, to the cheers of some 100 stu- dents, won that game 13 to 7. Chicago did not officially call that affair a “game”. It was a “scrimmage” conducted as such— with no kickoffs. The hostilities were started by giving the physi- cal education team the ball on its own 40-yard line. Last week, the Maroon 11-man gridders were given another workout—against Wilson Junior College. Chicago won, 14 to 0. This affair, too, was unofficial. President Robert Maynard Hutch- ins even told the Daily Maroon, on , student newspaper, that he didn’t! were! know such “scrimmages” taking place. Sentiment Divided Campus sentiment on Chicago’s abandonment of the intercollegi- ate game seems fairly well di- vided. Half the students hope that some day the regular game will be returned to the institution’s athletic program. Three reserves from last year’s varsity and five freshmen nu- meral winners went out for the six-man game, but since have swung over to the other squad. Charles Boyd, among them, has played brilliantly in the two “scrimmages”. As some wag remarked, Chi- cago, with two victories in as many starts, is off to its best sea- son since A. A. Stagg directed the Maroons to a Big Ten title in 1924. SPORTS CALENDAR SOFTBALL GAMES (Beyview Park Field, 7:00 p.m.) TONIGHT First Game—CCC, visiting, vs. U.S. Army, home (Service League).

BE STRENGTHENED BETTER GAMES PREDICTED BY MANAGERS OF RE- MAINING TEAMS PITTI OIIS: Snow Bowl Football ANCHORAGE. Allies. Leo M. Stanley, manager of the Merchants, announced last night at an unofficial meeting of the four managers of teams then in the Civilian League that the Merts have decided to withdraw from the circuit. This action leaves the Civilian loop with just three clubs of the original five-team loop, which means the remaining tens will play more often and meet each other in faster order than was the case under the old schedule. A friendly agreement between the Civy managers calls for an open roster in order that each club may use any member of the two withdrawn teams in an ef- fort to strengthen weak posi- tions. This will be productive of better playing and closer compe- titive games in the future—a quality that has been lacking :since the new season got under A player released from any of the teams must wait a week before joining any oth- er club. There are a number of excel- lent diamondball players on the withdrawn Merchants and Saw- yer’s Barbers who are now free agents and their injection into weak spots in the Bomber and NavSta lineups will mean “hot- ter” competition. Plumbers pos- sess the strongest team of the city at present and have few po- sitions that could show improv ment. Most of the “building u will take place on the “cradle” club managed by Paul Albury and the Naval Station ten piloted by C. U. Allshouse. This may mean the solution of “revive softball interest” ques- tion now facing managers of the Service and Civilian Leagues. NAVSTAS ENGAGE _ BOMBERS TONIGHT i\CAMPERS AND SOLDIERS TANGLE IN AFTER- PIECE Bombers and NavSta are slat-! ed to oppose each other in the nightcap of a K.W.AS.A. double- header this evening at Bayview Park. Naval Station employes will be out for a victory that will carry them within a half-game of the leading Pepper’s Plumbers, whom they meet Friday night. A win for the Bombers will give them sole possession of second place. CCC’s will cross bats with the U.S. Army in the opener tonight. A loss for either team will send it into the cellar of the Service League.

This action was _ necessitated by the announcement that the C.G.C. Pandora nine will be ab- sent from the city until the first part of December and _there- fore will be unable to fulfill its obligations contained in the re- vised schedule presented several weeks ago. Immediately upon the return to port of the Coast Guard cutter, games will be ar- ranged in such a manner that the Pandora club will be able to “catch up” with the other teams of the league in the number of contests played. Manager Paul Albury of the Pirates informed the meeting that the grandstands had been removed from Navy Field and re-assembled on the new grounds at East Martello Tower on the Boulevard. A portable backstop will be erected in the near future and will be placed approximately sixty feet in back of the home |plate, thus conforming to a regu- lation field. and eliminating ground rules observed in the past.
