AROLYN'S eyes narrowed.
"This proves it!"
Her initial flush of regret over
having opened a private pcrsonui
message, was completely gone.
Quiet anger rose within her. Hur
riedly she re-sealed the mcsKuge
its envelope hud been too loosely
glued and took it to Leuna's desk.
Leana was across the compound at
the laboratory now.
Carolyn went there, planning as
she walked. She would have to
think fasti The guards all knew
her because she had hired and
paid them. But there was the mut
ter of door keys, and physical
help.
Ken Palmer would do anything
she asked. The U-235, Bob had
said, would be in four leaden
boxes totaling some 150 pounds,
perhaps more.
"When will you load the boxes
on the freight car?" she asked Bob,
when he hud a moment to spare.
"Bo ready tomorrow morning.
Tonight, really. But too much ac
tivity again ut night might excite
suspicion. Best to move as if it
were simple routine, don't you
think?"
She nodded. She saw the boxes
and went gingerly near to them,
With Bob.
"One man could lift one box,
couldn't he?" slio inquired, In
cusual tone.
"Oh sure. It's safe now, encased
In the lead." He smiled tolerantly
as if at a child, then showed her
how easy it was by moving one of
Baptist Church
Here Many Years;
Plan Building
Organised and located in "Old
Town" for many yours, the pres
ent Baptist church was eiec'rc!
in IDOC.
The present pastor entered the
work in December, 1044, and
found a church school with de
partments lor all ages. Youth
Fellowship has increased.
Woman's sucvly Interests ?'
tor in foreign and local work,
and fosters fellowship among tin'
women of the congregation. A
children's meeting, named "Tl '
Light (jf the World," mc'ts we. U
!y, excepting the summer months
and has a program of siui'iug,
Hlble and Missionary study. Kim
talent among the young folk who
co-operate well, provides lead, i :.
in various sections of Uk1 church
as well us musicians and singers
for the services. About 11(1 stars
are on the service flag. A fov
of the men are back and in the
work again. Two chaplains, a
former pastor, Hov. (I. II. Marrs,
and ltev. K. J. Cain are still ac
tive abroad.
Through the college year th.
church has many students in the
congregation. A fellowship for
the .students is maintainrd at
which many attend.
The church has aided in the
Do-Nut Hut, Clideons, llihlo so
ciety and tin National Associa
tion of Kvangelisculs. The church
takes part in the union daily
vaca- Bible school annually.
Ilecently extra property ad
joining the church was acipiii. il
and is being made icady for a
lawn. Later, when it is possible,
a Christian education unit is to
be erected for which a fond is
being made ready.

the containers a few feet and that
was precisely what Carolyn want
ed to know,
COME time later a westbound
freight train was moving at
average speed across a nearby
state. It was exactly like hun
dreds of other such freight trains,
except that in the caboose rode
four urmed guards, carefully
picked from those who hud stood
duty near the Schoenfeld Labora
tory. They did not look like
guards. They were dressed like
railroad brokemen.
Dr. Hale had simply explained
to the railroad authorities that he
was shipping some valuable chem
icals and had arranged for those
four "caretakers" to go along.
They would stay, In shifts, with
the specially chartered freight car
when it was shunted onto a siding
ut the remote village of Blair,
Ariz.
Bob himself had thought to go
along as guard but, as Carolyn
pointed out, he could do nothing
that trusted hired men couldn't do,
and his presence on the train
might arouse too much Interest.
Then, too, Carolyn suggested, If
the shipment went without him,
Bob could wind up his business
affairs at the laboratory, and fly
west with Carolyn nnd her mother,
in time to meet the train.
Leana Sorml was not present to
discuss the matter when the train
left. Bob told Carolyn that Leana
had been unexpectedly called out
of town. Carolyn Bald nothing, but
her pulse quickened.
The train rolled with routine
smoothness for several hours. The
four men in its caboose hud been
Instructed to sleep only In shifts
of two even while moving.
There is little to do in u freight
caboose. Monotony settled hard
and was abruptly broken when the
train slowed down In a forest on

The conductor looked up first.
"Hey!" he called, to no one in
particular, "Ain't no stop sched
uled here. We ain't at no place, In
fact!"
"Trouble on the engine, I reck
on," a brakeman ventured.
He was more right that ha
guessed. The long train stopped
completely, and at once two
muBked men appeared In the ca
boose door.
"Just ait tight!" one commanded,
behind a stubby but fierce looking
sub-machine gun. "With your
hands high!"
TVEWS of the train robbery
x " reached Carolyn Tyler at 1:40
o'clock next morning. The tele
phone jangled her awake. Bob was
calling "Carolyn!" He was liter
ally crazed with anxiety. "It has
happened again! Our train it was
held up! Robbed! The agent just
telephoned me, too. They took our
stuff! Held up our men! The whole
thing all of It all of It took It
away, Carolyn I I"
He was so nervous as to become
inarticulate. And for her part,
Carolyn nad a sudden chilling sen
sation. For long seconds she stood
breathless, staring at the table
light by her phone. But In her was
no acute fear. She felt oddly
enough a peculiar elotlon.
"Bobl" she cried. "No! I No
Bob! They didn't! I know what I'm
talking about! Look, I'll come to
you at once and "
"But they did, Carolyn! The
agent said "
"No, no, I tell you! I don't care
what the agent said. Get hold of
yourself, Bob, and listen to me.
It's all right. All right, I tell you.
Your X " She remembered not
to mention the secret, even In this
stress. " Your shipment is safe,
I "
"They took the entire thing! All
four of the boxes! A1H"
"No, I tell you, Bobl I listen,
they may have stolen the boxes
and everything from that freight
car, Bob, but I tell you your pre
cious stuff wasn't there! I I took
it out myself, 'Bob! Before the
train left!"

labor - management charter into
the new agreement. Some labor
officials believe that management
has no right to higher profit or
operating reserve. Getting labor's
recognition of this right is con
siilered necessary to secure im
provi il lalior relations balancing
this; some recognition may be
sought on the idea that labor is
entitled to share in the profits
and benefits of technilogical ad
vances which cause increased l
bor productivity.
And so on.
Agreement on simple princi
ples such as those are consider
ed necessary before there can lx
any progress towards labor peace.
ltenclits of the forthcoming con
ference are therefore not expect
i'il to he immediate, but if top
management and top labor can
agree on fundamentals, within
some week's or months after the
eerteii'iici' closes, positive results
might reasonable Im expected.
