To day the hated Carolyn Tyler with a quiet, lethal fury. Until today the had regarded Robert'! secretary with only a cer tain contempt, tolerating Robert's praise of the girl's efficiency. But Carolyn Tyler was so exquisitely beautiful that even Leans was conscious ol It. Beauty In one woman can be infuriating to an other. Moreover, in the past few hours the new girl had completely wrecked the most important plan Leana had ever conceived and Lean wasnt yet sure how it had been done. "She couldn't possibly have known the train would be robbed," she reflected. "I talked with only one man, remote from her. But even If her faking the shipment was lust coincidence " Leana promised herself to get at the bottom of Carolyn's inter ference, and then to repay her in kind. aaa "VOU mean Arizona? Where I T" i Bob was jabbing a finger at' Carolyn, incredulous. He had slipped Into a seat now. "I do," Carolyn shouted back. "We are flying west and wo wont stop until we get there." She had leaned close to talk above the roar of the motor. He looked around as if still un able to believe his senses. He gared again at the box which, hei knew, contained his priceless ura-i Blum derivative, the most potent! and altogether valuable bit of sub-i stance ever produced since man's reasoning began, enough literally to transform the whole course of civilization. "Carolyn, I But the danger! The X-Mfl can make dust of this plane and all of us! Dust, I tell flrou! Beyond any description I can give!" ' "No." She was not frightened. 11 trust you, Bob. You said only Ludden heat or a severe shock, like L, dynamite cap, would explode it" "In theory, yes! But that first tiny bit we tried to move 1" "Something tells me well never Iknow the answer to that Please relax. Bob. And anyway, the stuff is made. Somebody has to take chances, don't they?" ! That made sense, of course.! Nevertheless Bob Hale was still distressed. "But an airplane! And you, Carolyn! Suppose there is trouble. What could I do? How could I possibly save you?" "Oh, it's me you're worried about!" His lies snaDDed tisht Ha wai in no mood for teasing and banter now. "Must I tell you again what extreme danger is involved here?": "Must I remind you again that somebody has to take chances?" rTHEIR shouted argument was a draw, obviously. He turned to looK out. There was no world now; only blue-and-gray oblivion, with nolhing tangible. He slipped resignedly into a seat and Caro lyn, guessing rightly again, urougnc mm a small parcel. "Here are some sandwiches and fruit, all I could grab in a hurry," she apologized. "I bet you haven't eaten since yesterday." I That was too true. He thanked Iher with his eyes, and ate. Pres lently the food and the insidiously lulling drone of motor and of irustung air had worked magic, so uiai dow passengers soon knew genuine relaxation. When he peered cautiously to see if she tmgm oe sleeping, Carolyn pre tended to be. f Thus did she help crowd the afternoon hours quite out of ex listen ce. When Bob's stirring eventually did command her at tention, he pointed first to thei magnificence of a sun that had paced on ahead and was nose diving now into a sea of blood and molten gold. Incomparably beau Klful, the clouds presaged the very Krouble Bob had feared. k Because shouting over the noise ras unsatisfactory and unneces ary, they talked but little until well toward midnight. They were tarlthin 100 miles of their destina tion, when the pilot attracted their1 (attention. b "Storm blowing up around us,"' yelled. "Nothing but moun lns down there now. Take lt le a s y. Instruments are okay. (Thought I ought to tell you. It fcnay get rough." I Carolyn's heart leaped. She pressed her face to a window. In- tantiy Bob Hale was at her side peering out, too. Quite uncon sciously he put an arm around her boulders as if to protect or steady he slender girl. She - felt his muscles, tight, tense. : The ship soon began to bounce ver so little. .Then it bucked a bit more, ,, "I'v foito get you out of herel" IHe almost growled it "Plea ,,oov worry," she begged. . v . : I ," it wfO"t.th sblpr-". he glanced significantly at the box on the floor, a parcel that really crowded the small cabin, " if it were Just us, flying " a a TN 10 minutes more the ship was quite unsteady. Bob looked around desperately. This was a plane for private hire. Unlike the regulation air liners, it had para chutes neatly folded in racks above the seats. "Put this on!" he ordered per emptorily, reaching for a 'chute harness. i "But why. Bob? We are still fflying." Secretly she was delighted I that he should be concerned about Iher. Her face held a radiance de spite the increased threat of dan ger that surrounded them. "I'll go crazy!" he shouted. "Carolyn, I am responsible for all this. For you! Do as I say!" He strapped the 'chute on her. There was only one way for it to go. She noted the ring handle which, some obscure crumb of knowledee told her. was the gadg- iet to pull if ever a person did bail iout "It has begun to rain!" "We have a roof!" ' So they had, but the ship moved up and down now, somewhat like a roller coaster car. Thunder cracked frighteningly. She forced a smile at him, but it didnt take. "We couldn't possibly land!" he cried. "And the pilot doesn't know what we are carrying! "You've got to jump, Carolyn! Jump, pull that cord, and say your prayers!" "And leave you? Bob!" "I'll tell the pilot then follow you. Go on I'll force the door open. It's our only chance! Or1 " he was striving frantically now to reach her mind, to force her into action, "or maybe you're afraid to jump! A coward!" That struck home. Carolyn's I eyes narrowed, she held her breath. The ship was tilting, weav ing, sliding now, and even the box on the cabin floor began to move. Bob had unlatched the door. AU at once she reached up to grasp Bob Hale's shoulders, and kissed him quickly on the lips. Then she dropped out into the black, blinding hurricane. (To Be Continued) By J. R.
