She had snatched on the first clothes nviiil ' able and she literally ran Into the night when his car swerved to the curb. Ho stopped halfway out the car door, hatloss, his hair un combed, wearing not even a coat or tie. His voice wus a study in misery. "Oh, Bob!" She tried to speak calmly. "The X-ODO was not on that freight train! It is still safe hero In the city!" "I helped put it on myself, yes terday morninj!" "No! You put on dummy pack ages! Bob listen, I know you don't understand, but Ken Palmer and I removed those Inner leaden boxes and substituted rocks! Yes, rocks!" "But Carolyn!" He was be ginning to believe, at least to hope. He gripped her shoulders now. "I was going to tell you but you wcro oway all day yesterday. Ken and I did our work at 2 in , the morning. The stuff is safe. , I Bob, I hod a sort of tip. A hunch! Don't ask me nny more yet. Just eomo onl Let mo drive!" Sho ron around to the wheel and when he had collected his wits again they were well out toward the Schocnfcld Labora tory. t TfIIEN tllcy arrived she took him ''into the compound and to the laboratory proper. He was sur prised to see several of their hired guards still on duty. "I ordered them to stay," she explained. "And paid them." She had a key to the laboratory door. "I copied your key, Bob. Had it done. Stuck yours on chewing gum to get a mold, then used candle wax. A keysmilh cut one easily from that. I forgive me, Bob! And wait." She let him in and the door closed behind them. For a mo ment they stood In semi-darkness. Only tho great looming form of the Schocnfcld cyclotron assailed them, silhouetted in part against tho high windows. "Perhaps it is best not to turn on the main lights," she said. "Wolt a desk lamp" Sho crossed to the sturdy oak cabinet table where work sheets were usually spread out. In a moment she had the small light burning. "Bob please." He came over. He was still in somewhat of a daze. While he watched, sho Bwung back one of the four broad bottom doors of the cabinet. Gingerly she then lifted tho lid of a strong wooden packing box. Bob peered in. He saw four small leaden cases, sealed, cushioned in crude but effective burlap padding. He knew them to be his own. "Carolyn!" He barely breathed thot, but It was u speech of in flnito relief and gratitude. T EST slnle police and newspaper reporters flood tho laboratory, Bob i hastened to go back down town. He didn't want too much attention to him and his work. Ho explained to police that his shipment had been chemicals only and that he couldn't imagine who would stent them, nor why. By mid-morning Lcana Sorml had returned, heard of the rob bery and she rushed to Bob with every possible aid and sympathy. Carolyn left Idem at state police headquarters. She was strangely keyed up now. She even forgot to eat. "I have to move fast!" she told herself. Sho inspected her purse. Then she called a taxi, went to a bank and took nut all the $340 she had saved. Next she ordered a taxi driver to take her to the munici pal airport, and there she made another business deal. By noon her taxi driver had her back at ttie laboratory again, and when she alighted this time sho smiled her sweetest at him and said, "I need a strong man to help me carry something." "That's me, miss!" the driver answered with alacrity. "You want a trunk moved? I'll make room on the back rack." "Not a trunk, a box. And I'd be ever so much happier if it went inside. On the seat itself. I here!" She thrust a $5 bill at him. He grinned. "Lady, I'll carry the box in me teeth if you want!" CHE nsked two of -the guards to help him. The box was small but astonishingly heavy. She ex plained, in partial truth, that it contained some leaden forms which Dr. Hale wanted moved, and some "other heavy junk." Her heart went bump-bump-bump double time during the whole loading procedure. Some 40 minutes later she had transferred the box to an airplane, a powerful cabin ship now under her personal lease, with pilot awaiting orders. She told the pilot she would be back. "We going after another box, miss?" her taxi driver asked os they drove oway from the mu nicipal airfield this second time. "No. After a man." "Hmmmmmmm!" He grirlncd. "Elopement, I'll bet!" She sighed at that, In n much needed relaxation. "I wish it were. Driver, how In the world does a a self-respecting girl pursue a mon?" (To Bo Continued) "Rose" Potholders By MRS.
