OCTOBER 16. 1941 Roac SYNOPSIS ? Beautiful Camilla Dean is touring Egypt and Palestine with a party of Americans. On the voyage she has many admirers, among theni a wealthy Syrian known as Joseph Asad. in reality Hassan Isar, leader of fanatical Arabs in Palestine. She meets also the English-bred American. Ronaid Barker, known as El Kerak, mysterious leader of the tribes opposed to Hassan. Camilla accepts the attention of Hassan to gain information helpful to Barker, who lias warned her that I she may be in danger if she con- : tinucs her tour. She accepts Has- ! san's invitation to go to Damascus, ! accompanied by some of her j American friends. She visits the home of Hassan's father, the sheik j Arif-el-Arif. where she is ioined by Hassan who renews his proposal of marriage, but she refuses him. CHAPTER XII It was then that the sheik in the scarlet pelisse, who had been rid-; ing behind her, rode up and took the bridle of her horse from the man on her right who drew rein and took up the rear. "I regret, mademoisselle." he said at last, in excccrable French, 'that I was obliged to make you come with me against your will. But you will not be hurt or treated badly if you do as I command.'' "But what of my friends who are still alive? What of the bus with no one to drive it?'' He made a deprecatory gesture, it was bad that the big man should kill my corny mions. If he had not shot thesn no harm would have come. Ilclas! He will shoot no more? 'You haven't heard the end of this/' she said angrily as her courage returned. "There must be some law, even in this God-forsaken country?" "Pardon, mademoiselle," he said, with polite incomprehension. "Where are you hiking me?" she asked. "Who is the man who planned this crime? And why do you hike me instead of the others?" The sheik moved one shoulder and a hand as a gesture of incomprehension. There seemed no hope for her, friflpv ONE LINE OF DEFENSE THAT j; Muit REMAIN l| IMPREGNABLE j t Of vital importance to the J. South's security is the depend- p ability of its far-reaching tele- p phone lines. c On their constantly main- ^ tained efficiency depends j, continuity and flexibility of h communication between mili- a : i J - 11 iai^r, iuuuaul(tl, ilDU UlVlIiaO Iforces necessary to the nation's I n defense. In this crisis, Southern Bell r is faced with the three-fold task '' of giving "all-out" service to s defense, industry, and the pub- a lie?a task requiring every e Ounce of its resources. h In most cities and towns in y the nine southern states we P serve, the demand upon our services is without precedent. In many of these places, mass r troop and civilian concentra- d tions, in addition to increased k industrial demands,have made s, the continuation of normal a telephone service difficult. ^ In these critical times, tele- c phone workers ask your CO- e operation and appreciative U understanding of the problems ^ which confront them, knowing J, that you, too, are "all-out" for ci defense?thatitisourcommon '< problem to keep telephone ^ lines of defense impregnable. ]( tl The 1 to Ba By GEORGE GIBBS less hope even than for the othei survivors of the disaster. It was toward the middle of the afternoon that Camilla's captor rost in his stirrups and pointed to a hil that rose above the surroundinj plain. As they drew near she saw at its base the black ghostlike tent: of a Bedouin encampment. Horses camels and dromedaries were teth cred to ropc-s pegged along tin ground. AS'e shall rest there," xh< sheik said politely. She made no comment a id rod< forward, trying to find new couragi for the new adventure, whatever i was. Palm trees grew near the hil and extended out into the deser beyond. At the flap of the largos tent she was invited to dismount but to her chnvmr. a,n u?i i jiau m ut lilted to the ground. Then with the assistance of a gir who had now appeared she sanl upon a divan in the tent and, wit! difficulty, relaxed her aching limbs The girl brought water to drink an< a bowl to bathe the dust from he face, then stood by as impassive a the riders who It ad brought he here. Apparently Camilla was to b treated with politeness, for after while the Bedouin girl brought dish of lentil soup, a red pottage c the same recipe, probably, for whic Esau soid his birthright. This di much to restore her mind and bodj As she sipped the soup she aske questions, but the girl gave signs c incomprehension, her slow bovin gaze completing the conviction o ignorance and stupidity. Then, as i to atone for her mental deficiencies she carefully arranged the pillow on the divan and by childish panto mime suggested that Camilla shd'lilt go to sleep. And now while she tried to thin! of poor Josie, Janet and Mrs. Wil liamson, and to wonder what migh be done to help them, she sanl back in utter exhaustion.. Poo Slim! He was in her last wakini thought. Slim had been the cans of the bloodshed and hud paid heav ily for his impulse. It was quite dark when she awoke dark and cool. She pulled the silkei robe over her and wondered hov long she had been asleep; then re membered that it didn't really mat ler what time it was. Of course escape was impossible and even i she had ever considered it, the dis tant sounds that now came to her? the sharp yelps from a pack of jack als fighting over a dead anima somewhere, the howl of a wolf o the distant wailing laugh of hyena; ?would soon have driven thi thought of escape from her head But after a while these sounds di ninished, became a part of thi tight itself, and with the moanin| >f the wind, the quivering of thi tent flaps made a desert symphony hat soothed her to sleep again. In the morning the Bedouin girl vhose name Camilla never learned tarne into the tent with Camilla"; Iressing case, a larger basin o .vater, towels and soap, and placet hem on a table. And when she hac lathed and laken coftee, Camill; buna a cigarette and smoked. A: the did so. Iter mind clearing rap dly, the thought of Hassan came ti ier again. Hassan and nut ll.-mnio Iassan more ominous than ever aftr what had happened. Who elst >ut Hassan would have selected hei roin among her companions anc )rought her here into this far-oi ilace? She remembered with eleai oniprehension the slow smile of hei aptor when the name of Hassar sar had been mentioned. Hassar lad planned this abduction, just a; le had planned the conspiracj gainst Ronnie. She was sure of il low and she was frightened. Hei nsecurity and disloyalty to Hassar iow came to haunt her. Whatever Hassan's sins against ionnie. he had committed none gainst Camilla. From the begining he would have done anything he asked. She had betrayed him gain and again, and now her transressions were finding her out. 11 lassan had made her a prisoner she ad little to hope for, and she was rilling to admit that whatever hapened to her would be nothing less rian she deserved. Ronnie had said hat Hassan was politically poweiful i this country; otherwise, she now ealized, his men would not have ared to hold up Michael's bus and ill Slim. Just after sunset there was a Dund of a rifle shot in the distance, n answering shot nearby, and an nmediate commotion outside. The ledouin girl rushed from the kitchn and the brigand who had captura W.. f la uailima von-iuajr yaootu uciuil le flap of the tent in the sunlight nci leaped on his horse. She wantd to run outside, but the Bedouin irl interposed, pointing to a camp hair that she had brought forward ) the table. She gave a series of runts which Camilla interpreted to lean that she was not permitted to ?ave the tent. And yet in spite of her knowledge lat she had brought all this upon erself she could not feel that Has WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EV: gdad jsan would dare molest her on h own terms. Wasn't the reason wh ; ; he preferred her because she couj ; j de-ceive him as she had always don< I j Wasn't this abduction merely b ; . own way of making their carava r j into the desert an accomplished fa< 5 j ill spite of her opposition? _ : His entrance at the flap of tl . ; tent was not in the least alarming. . 'j "Of course you know that if ijadn't been for your friend Slir nothing would have happened ye . terday." His voice was deep but mild ar t she gained courage. "Nothing, i ! course,"' she said, "but the holdup i I an American bus and the abductic t of an American girl traveling in it "Granted. 1 intended to bring yc . i here no matter what happened." "And how are. you going to ai j | swer for it?" ; "I don't intend to answer at a , I'm not supposed to know anythir about the holdup or about you." -"f,"vt:iT7I7Tem will have a woi r ; to say when it knows the truth." s "Who will tell?" i- : Dr. Williamson.
