PAGE FOUR THE ROAD TO by Gita Mob Chapter 33 Struggle By Night AS five o’clock the boy returned with the extra horses. Temu paid for them and for the hospi- ta they had received, and f ly afterwards, led the way clad plain under ning sky. “We'll save time by crossing the mountains here,” he said. “Do you know where we are?” asked, gratefully tucking her hands in the long sleeves of her Mongol coat and letting her pony have his head. The horses kept side by side at a steady pace. “We're directly east of the bor- der town of Dorc She t curiously. D 2 that when we ar- nere, we'll probably find that i Duke of Sachto have the government of Shani Lun?” “That's on~the knees of the gods,” he said shortly and urged his horse ahead. He did not seem to want to talk about it. They began a climb through a rocky gorge that looked like the dumping ground the contractors had used when they were finish- ing the mountain peaks for the Creator. The trail wound inter- minably hour after hour through the waste. They stopped a few minutes at noon for a bowl of hot tea and then pressed on into a rough plateau, thinly covered with snow in the places where dry grass lay abundantly around the| rocky outcrops. Temu saw that Lynn was be- coming tired and cold. “We'll soon reach a stone hut,” he promised. “Can’t we sleep out?” she asked, drowsy and a bit breathless from the high altitude. “Too cold with snow on the ground.” He urged the horse for- ward at a faster pace, crossed an- other divide, and followed a stream around a mountain peak to an alpine valley where the hut with a few stone cattlepens stood on a shelf above a perpendicular canyon wall. Tethered near the ddle horses. | “Someone else} he said ina don’t like it.” y?

The inside of the small hut was bare except for the accoutrements and} packs that the men had brought | in. A small argol fire burned in| the center of the room under a/ smoke hole in the sod roof. The} floor was a bed of animal chips. | Temu stacked the saddles and sad- dle bags in a pile and spread a} robe for her. The three men watched them in silent inhospitality sizing them both up and their few belongings. Later, in the blackest part of the night just before dawn, Temu’s/ senses were brought alert by the} pressure of Lynn’s hand on his| shoulder. He turned over and her fingers explored his face and tilted it so that she could put her lips to his ear.

He had glimpsed the giant whose arm he had twisted preparing to come af- ter him, a knife in his hands. Obeying instantly, L; was on her feet ready for action. One of the pas opposite started to lower his he sent a bullet into the ground at his feet. It was all the warning they needed. From the corner of her eye she watched Temu’s struggle, his skill and agility matched by the other’s maniacal strength and size. Temu managed to get the knife fli away but could not break the fel- low’s hold on himself. They had gone to the ground almost imme- diately, Temu poking t6 his life, the other Aptos to kill. _ Quickly, Temu managed to get on top and clutch the man’s neck, ram his thumb joints violently into the windpipe and jerk until the fellow’s grip on him relaxed is |and the death gurgle had ceased. Then he rose panting. “On your guard still, Lynn!” He went to the door and cut strips of hide from the camelskin that hung across the opening. With this he bound the other men hand and foot. “Now,” he said, coming back to Lynn and taking the gun and the flashlight from her hands, “now your job is done. Are you going to faint?” The question was just what she needed. It jolted her. “No,” she replied, “I’m not going to faint. Is the man dead?” “Quite dead, poe fellow.” “Would it help any to kill the oer two?” ick, ree e gave a qui surp. laugh that eased the tension. “Not at all, Lynn, dear. They can free themselves after we are gone. We must brew tea and get on our way.” He sat about enlivening the fire and brought in snow to melt. “Can’t we go at once?” she asked, crouching down near him. “It’s best to eat first. Take the grain bag and go feed the horses.” | She did as he bade her and then washed her hands and face ir the snow. When she came back, she saw that the dead man had been taken to a corner and decently covered with his sheepskins. His friends lay trussed like cattle. “Will they bury him?” asked. “That’s not_ the way Mongols usually do.” Temu looked at her keenly. He caught her fingers and drew her down near the fire and gave her a bowl of tea. Danger Ahead eNICE= snow fell last night,” +4 she said. “The horses carry white roofs on their backs.” That day they crossed another bleak plateau and dropped over another divide, striking the trail that would take them down to the border town. “Shall we reach the town to- night?” she asked. “I don’t know,” Temu replied, looking anxiously at his horses’ hoofs and ankles. “This nag is go- ing lame on me. I've an idea bt better walk him the rest of the wav.” She said, “If the revolutionists have taken the country it will not be safe for you to enter Dorchi.” “Don’t I know it, Lynn?” “What—” she asked diffidently, what will you do if such is the case?” “Let’s not face it now.” “Perhaps—perhaps you and I could work out something to- gether.” “T don’t think so, Lynn.” He re- fused to talk about it. “We know we have the present together. Let's play. Dine with me tonight eiping.” “Make it San Francisco,” she gested, entering the game. ‘Not so good,” he. objected. “Your friends would take you away from me.” _She looked at him remembering: his fine appearance in army uni- form. “They’d probably take you ay from me. We'll make it she e'll take a table in an alcove and I shall forget the Prince and make love to you.” “Then I must look very beauti- ful. It would be fun, Temu, to make you lose your head.” “You don’t iow whether it would or not.” She wished he wouldn’t look at her so steadily. She lowered her head. “Wear white with blue violets to match your eyes,” he told her. “There's a soft, white velvet dress I brought from San | cisco. “Tell me about it.” Her eyes became starry. “It has a train, and not too much above the waist and not too little. Real- ly, Temu, I hardly know myself in it. I look like a dream.” “I imagine you do, Tara Lynn. I've seen pictures of you in almost everything, in cap and gown, in tennis dress, in bathing suits.” She looked startled. “Did Dick show around all those silly snap- shots I sent him?” “He gave them to the Princess. Mother.” “She must-have been shocked, considering how thoroughly the a oe seeaeelyie “So was the Prince—pleasantly shocked.
