It m narrow, and winding, and so required 10 minutes at the best possible speed. He was sobbing in sort of restrained hysteria. either he nor the man with him kould speak. Bob had black visions bt his village completely buried or at least laid In death and ruin.' Specifically, he suffered In seeing Carolyn Tyler dead a thousand ways. Be sweived around the last fcurve, then, and Instantly Identi fied Carolyn herself, Be yelled at her. "CAROLYN P . CAROLYN!" I It was a wild, frenzied cry which lipped into infinite gladness when he taw that she was. actually! limning. a TJTBX village seemed Intact, and oincr tout were eurruig now, but he recognized Carolyn from afar partly because he so desper ately wanted to and partly because he eouldnt mistake the bright red shirt she still wore, the same one he had worn during the ride. That shirt had Intrigued him for two hours this afternoon. It had been fe gay challenge to Leana Bormi's severe black-and-white riding habit It had been precisely the right complement for Caro lyn's flaxen curls, It had topped just right her dark blue, form fitting Jodhpurs, to emphasize her as the slender, lovely girl she was. Be stopped his car when be had I to, Jumped out and started run-j Ung. I There was no outpouring of' f mils between them AH at once he was holding her.' fust clasping her tight, feeling her; try and trembling powerfully withj tier in sheer Intensity of emotions.; It was she who murmured first "Bob! . . . Bob!" "Little glrll" Be kissed the top lot her forehead, still squeezing her ielosa, Ba shut his eyes tightly. mar was a strange, sad, and yet wees ecstacy between therm I was no chance to relax for almost 24 hours. But late on that second day, amid the stir ring and the milling and the ex citement of peoples arriving and going through all the Inevitable, If kindly hullabaloo, Bob said that the time had came to take Carolyn away lest she drop in her tracks. Her mother had already been sent to Blair, along with most of the remaining personnel here in the mountain village. Officials from the Arizona county seat 100 miles away, had come to take charge. First thing Bob did was to make Carolyn eat She had lived only on a sandwich and a few cups of cof fee forced on her since yesterday. "Yon must eat also," she re minded him, there In the tiny Blair Inn. "Gee, Bob, we do get into the twfullest things!" The meal was a life saver. In both it restored strength, energy, hope. "Mind If we don't go back to night?" he asked wanly, after the twilight meat "Let's Just ride out alone, where we can think." They didn't have to go far. Only a mile or so to escape the flood of newspaper men, photographers, officers, curious folk who had poured in. They left Bob's car and sat on a flat red boulder near the road. Stars had begun their timeless winking. Later there would even be a moon, but already the world was beautiful with the soft eva nescent something that is early Bight Presently they found themselves talking. Quietly, intimately, dis passionately going over the whole thing, recounting all the weeks since she had first come to work for him, re-living the horror of the explosion Itself but in a new feel ing of deep gratitude for escape. "I waited for you. Bob, at the guard shack, when the guards told me you had not come by," she repeated for perhaps the tenth time. "I just didl But when it happened, I was afraid you had gone in! The granite cliff saved us even there, but I couldn't know about you." He held her very close. "You waited. For me! It seems to me that I have waited for you since time began, Carolynl Waited and hungered for you. I was so madly, in love with you when you dropped i from the airplane that if it; hadn't been for your Ken Palmer, II should have Carolvn. I mm brou I don't intend to be a gentle- pnan ever again! You had told me ttn the beginning that Ken loved (you. I felt it only fair to f "But I didn't nv T Tmrv Mml She laughed again. "And all this, while I thought you Indifferent!" He shook his hand n llido hit. Herly. "I tried dutifully to force myself on Leana. Thinking, and tWlTaft the SjXgJghfe-rnjjhfer RememDer, t even "appealed to you!" "I remember,'' Carolyn whis pered. "It Is tragic, even so, to know her guilty of this. I had no idea she felt so deeply In a personal way! But Carolyn, may we not promise never to mention that as pect of it again? Anything that would cause unhappiness to linger in you 1" "Of course, Bob. Oh Bob, please hold me very close, and kiss me again!1 HPHEY talked for more than an hour, quietly, tenderly. It was the best solace they could have arranged. He grew, it possible, more dear to her than ever, more 'grand. It was he who suggested giving 'Ken Palmer a far better job in the Schoenfeld Laboratory back home. It was he who swore then to tell the secret of deriving X-999 to a jdozen other picked American sc ientists, who could form a corpora itlon for developing it in the safe est sanest way, j It was he who, finally, said, "I think I have earned a rest Caro lyn, and I'd like it to be a year, with you. Summer is near, and the Pacific Northwest is beautiful. Then a lazy sea trip dawn the coast and across to Mexico City They say it's romance land, sweet heart! Romance land!" He had slipped into a boyish sort of enthusiasm. Here was a Bob Hale she had never known before! She could not answer, in words; there was a tautness in her throat But she could press her head a little closer into the crook of his shoulder, where her Hps could Just touch his chin. Last thing they saw when they arose to go home was a faint gray spot liiRh on the hills to the north east That was the granite half of Tonto Mountain, its peak holding one Inst hint of day's sun. "It's still beautiful," Carolyn murmured. "And strong," said he. "Strong and triumphant Like" he dropped to a whisper, "like our love, my dear."
