Presently Beth went to the door and came back, “The drums are still at it,” she said.

Anne gave him a_ startled glance and flushed at the half- threat in his grey eyes. A knock at the door banished the cross currents tangling the air. Doddap came in carrying Anne's silver studded belt with its precious burden, the Nagara dagger. “Put it on,” he said to her. “Well—” she began, then took it and fastened it about her slender waist. “Why?” she de- manded. “That’s where it belongs.” He turned and shuflied. out. She looked up and met Sherwood’s eyes. He grinned and shrugged. The young Huffs looked at the belt_ curiously. “Come on, be a spret. show us the dagger,” begged Larry. Anne put a hand on the sheath. Sherwood was watching her nar- rowly. *I don’t like to touch it.” she said slowly, and explained the eculiar feel of the weapon in her and. “As if it really were pos- sessed,” she explained. “Perhaps that’s because you're a rather high strung person, suggested Larry. : “Am 1?” she asked in surprise. “You're feminine—and you're not stolid,” said Sherwood join- Oa oad you three help Anne complied hastily, ing his motive, glad that he diverted Larry.

She felt someone throw a blanket over her, The subdued voices of men died out. She stood in a vast stone temple as thickly pil- lared as a virgin forest. Curling incense plumes swirled through the air, like writhing dragons rid- ing soundwaves of rolling pranks, Suddenly a crash woke The Escort ‘HE Nagaras!” someone had shouted. Tt was dawn and a giant yellow man in striped sheep-lined coat | and felt helmet was swinging a broad sword above the oy blow after blow. Other helmeted men had crowded into the room carrying medieval seimitars, battle axes, and dirks in their hands though each had a rifle swung across his back. They lined the white men up along the wall and searched them for weapons. Dr. Martaine was already pres- en Anne saw.

Beth started to leave her chair and shrank back at a sharp word from one of the invaders. A slim, black bearded man appeared and ordered the giant to cease his senseless hacking on the radio which had been beaten into the table, and the table into the floor. This slim bearded man seemed to be the leader, though he also wore the felt helmet with the turned up brim of five petal points. He addressed the white men in his own larfguage. No one understooc except Sherwood for a word or two. Then Doddap answered the cap- tain. They palavered back forth for a while. The turned to Anne. “They're come to conduct us 40+ the high priest, they say, that you may prove you are the seed sent by the Gods to reveal to the world the secrets of Shy-a Nago.” _ The dagger gleamed at Anne's side, its green eye. luminous in the faint. dawn light, She took a step towards the man who backed away respectfully. “Prove?” she demanded. “What must 1 prove? That I’m my pa- rents’ daughter? I was given the dagger.” “And you accepted it,” he re- minded her sternly. lama Anne looked around distracted- | ly. Both Diana and Beth were crying. The white men ranged along the wall stood absolutely helpless. More burly tribesmen crowded into the room. Suddenly Anne realized that many of these fighting men were woman, true Amazons, dressed like their men and as fierce of eye. ‘ “What if we should decide not to. go on with this?” she asked. “Give back the knife and ask the parenisr “It is too late.

Played for the expressed pur- pose of raising funds for the County Defense Recreation com- | mittee, the game was featured by the heavy-hitting of Lions Zorsky and Bethel. The pair of Lace Trims, along with other lesser safeties, socked the ball out/f'the field for a home run apiece, The Pink Sox have filed a pro- test “with the Trim manager. The protest grew out of the “un- called for” actions of Gerald | Saunders, the Sox pilot avers. /Saunders, a Lion playing — with the Rotarians to complete a regu- lation team, “did everything: he could to help the Roarers to vic- tory”, the Sox mentor claims. “We'll have our own full team jon the field next time”, he de- \elares. 2 | The players appeared on the diamond in comical feminine highlighted by the Hula attire, home | Hula girl costume of Clem Price, | third baseman for the Rotarians. | Centerfielder Fripp of the same Phillies, 3-2.
