She threw her transmitter switch as if the act were a definite little finale. And finale it was! Not even Leann Sormi, brilliant scientist, had known the extreme potency of X-B99III Simultaneously with her touch ' of that switch, all of hellDrc it self belched over the universe, The earth shook in a staccato - of doom, Tonto Mountain, it op peared, was lifted skyward. A . great spreading bulk blacked out the light of day, extended east ward over a full five miles, then came pelting roaring crashing down In an all-consuming bom bardment. The top half of Mummy Ridge itself was blown square off and . a minute later it and all its area there to the cast were buried ' under countless tons of debris. The very physiography of a moun tain rongc was being altered. And nobody no living soul heard Leana Sormi give her long, hys terical scream. "CTROM other points of view (as told countless times in the months and even years to follow) the explosion of Tonto Mountain was that of a volcano, no less. Kx ccpt that this particular volcano spewed fire from only one side of Its mouth, after first bursting out an opening. The actual eruption was not straight up, but angled. The great force of tho explosion naturally , took tho path of least resistance. The west half of Tonto Mountain was a bulwark of granite, virtu ally solid rock a mile thick at Its base.

But in nature's own eruptions cons ago she had loosened and stirred the eastern half of Tonto, upending Its strata and piling there loose boulders, smaller rocks and soils. It was this loose de posit which gave way under the force of X-999's explosion. The granite - half stood firm, merely shaken by the recoil. The circumstance proved to be extremely fortunate for puny hu man beings who had dared en sconce themselves in nature's bosom here. It was as if nature had kept a benign hand over them and their little huts. Not that the huts escaped damage every win dow in the scientists' village was broken, and every china dish, ev ery bit of glass equipment in the laboratory. Hock chimneys were toppled over. One cabin was moved quite off its foundation. The stables, flimsy structures at best, were flattened and three of the horses killed. A dozen major or minor avalanches were started on neigh boring mountains. WHEN Carolyn and Leana left " him at the stables shortly after 5 o'clock, Bob Hale lingered to rub down his black gelding rather than give tho task to a stable boy. About IS minutes later ho was culled to tho stable telephone. It was Lcanu. "Robert, dear," she began, "is It too much to ask that you drive in to Mair for mo, at once? There is some equipment a microscope part which I simply must have in the laboratory early tomorrow morning, and I really wanted it tonight. It wos duo on tho mail singe todny and the Dluir post office closes at 0." "Surely, Leana! I can drive Iglit over now. Our group doesn't Traffic Fatalities Rates Increasing Oregon's traffic death rate for the first eight months of IMS was 10 fatalities per one hundred mil lion miles of travel, according to Robert S. Karrell, secictaiy of state. This compares to a rate of nine for Hie same period a year ago. The death rati1 fur the month of August this year was nine, com puted to n rat.1 of eii.ht for Anti ng of Mi l l. Parrell said tin- dentil rale, showing the nunilyjr of persons killed in relation to the mileage leeorrled on Oregon highways and streets, is a better indie I'.ion of the relative safety of traffic than (tie actual number of deaths. Thus, the death rate this year indicates a need for increased care in driving anil walking, tho secretary of stale said. 14 Pound Iiabfi Horn TILLAMOOK, Oct. II (UP) Mrs. A.

He didn't rush because there was abundant time, but he did take his car Immediately and head off down the old road from the mine. It swung south and west from Tonto Mountain, winding in picturesque way. When he reached Blair ho paused to chat a bit with the post master. Lcana's parcel hadn't ar rived, after all. She would be disappointed. Vaguely he wondered why a mere microscope lens, or what ever it was, could be so urgent. There were other microscopes at hand in the laboratory. But then, a person gets used to a favorite one, he knew. He switched the lk to deer hunting. "Shore thing, Dr. Hale," the postmaster was friendly, "it's deer ns'U run right over you around here in autumn tlmel Shores you're born! Big bucks with 10, 20 poinis all up in that Tonto Mountain country. You stick here till October, you'll see. You got a good rifle?" They went into the matter of guns, man talk.

Bob's muscles froze. The postmaster looked quickly at him in consternation. Neither spoke at first. Then both looked out. The late sun-yellowed sky back toward Tonto was blooming in a magnificent mass of black earth and rocks and shooting flame. They saw it boil. Saw it Brow billowing, spreading, roaring and echoing furiously now. It was greater than anything In their comprehension. It was reaching out over half the horizon, as if It meant to engulf all the universe. I know! ' Bob rasped, from tho deep frenzy now within him. "It it Carolyn's there! Carolyn's still there! . . . Come onl . . . Oh, my God! . . . Carolyn!" Tho two men were running to Bob's car.
