. 8TOKM AT MIDNIGHT
CHAPTER XVII
TEANA SORMI came out of her
office in time to see Robert
being )! away by the Tyler girl
She considered that, frowning. 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.

"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.
