but he recognized Carolyn from
afar partly because he so desper

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

the right complement for Caro

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

She laughed again. "And all this,
while I thought you Indifferent!"
He shook his hand n llido hit.

myself on Leana. Thinking, and

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."
