CHAPTER III
"THIS," he said, "will tell you
' everything. Except your
(weight."
' "Logan, Logan, Logan, Ma
honey and Logan," the girl read
from the card. "Historical Pan
oramas, Inc. Jonan A. jogan,
Pres." She looked up. "My good
ness, our stocks of Logans are
certainly complete. All colors, all
sizes, all prices. But where are
'the rest of them?"
Mahoney sounded of! unexpect
edly, from the tree. "See?" he
said to Jonah. "That name's con
iusin'. Now if you'd of took my
advice and called the firm plain
Logan and Mahoney,' people
wouldn't . .
"Boys, boys," said the girt. "No
fighting."
Jonah turned to her apologet
ically. "Don't mind, Mahoney.
.He's always glooming."
"I don't mind Mr. Mahoney at
all," the girl said. "But 1 am
beginning to mind your not telling
me why you're here?"
' Jonah camouflaged a feeling of
uncertainty by a bold remark. "I
could tell you better if I knew
your name," he said.
. She considered. At last: "Oh,
all right. It's Hildy."
"Hildy," Jonah repeated rever
ently. "That's perfect. Makes
me think of autumn leaves just
as they're turning from red to
yellow. Or is it yellow to red?"
"I wouldn't know," said Hildy.
"The autumn leaves were your
Idea."
"So they were. But, to answer
you, I came to see a Mr. Henry
L. Channing."
"Well," said Hildy, "I don't like
to discourage you. But you've
got a fat chance of seeing him as
long as that thing is in evidence."
She pointed suddenly at the model
of the Terrible Eye.
Jonah blinked. "What's that got
to do with it?"
; "Practically everything. It's a
-camera. And Mr. Mahoney is
carrying photographic equipment
Well, Mr. Channing is very aller
gic to photographers."
"But I dont get it He's the
camera king of America, isn't he?
I should think he and a couple of
photographers would be Brother
Silks."
"You would think so," Hildy
eaid, in a sympathetic voice. "But
Mr. Channing 'has had plenty of
(trouble with photographers."
From on high Mahoney repeat
ed a gloomy prediction. "They'll
run you out by the seat of your
pants. Like Jimmy Durante."
"Silence, Mahoney! Listen,
Hildyf I assure you- that I'm no
common photographer." Jonah
patted the Terrible Eye affection
ately. "This little gadget is a kind
lot camera, of course. But what
a camera I why, this neat fawn.
colored housing conceals a ma
chine that could knock the whole
darn world on its beam ends."
TJILDY gave a little shriek. "Oh,
Lord. It's a bomb. And
you're subversive. Go away."
"Relax," . said Jonah. "The
mechanism, though colossal, is
harmless."
: "All right," said Hildy. Til
Hake your word for it Why do
you want to see my er Mr.
Channing?"
"So," said Jonah, who had quick
ears, "Mr. Channing is something
to you?"
"Well, you could say that we're
f elated. He's my father."
"Gosh, he's playing In hick,
Isn't he? I mean, having a daugh
ter like you."
Hildy Channing kicked at a nest
of pine needles. Her blue eyes
were clouded. "Listen," she said
surprisingly, "I don't understand
all this. But if you're trying to
sell my father a bill of goods or
take him for a ride or something,
I'm with you. Heart and souL"
Jonah stared at her. "You ac
tually mean that?" he asked in
credulously. "I certainly do. I might as well
tell you, Mr. Logan . .
; "Jonah."
"Okay, Jonah. The plain fact
lis that Father and I are having a
feud. Compared to us, the Hat
fields and the McCoys were
chums."
Jonah grinned. "You don't say.
Tell me about it."
: "Not yet," said Hildy. "The
floor's yours. I'm simply dying
Ho know about this Infernal ma
Icliine you have."
I "Well," Jonah's brows wrinkled,
'lt's a little Involved. But I'll
try to explain without getting too
technical. You see on that card
!the words, 'Historical Panoramas'?
Well, believe it or not, this inven
tion of mine which, for lack of a
better name, I call the 'Terrible
Eye' can reproduce past events."
I Hildy shook her head. "I don't
.igetit."
"To grasp what I'm talking
about," Jonah said, "you have to
realize that everything that hap
pens on earth, or ever has hap
pened, makes an impression on
the light rays current at the time
of the event Do you follow?"
TJILDY CHANNING sighed.
"This must be a special brand
of double talk."
"Okay. Don't believe me. But
I'm telling you facts."
"Well, go on. It's fascinating."
"Dam it," said Jonah. "I can
prove it. Look, the light rays
that have passed off into this lim
bo aren't necessarily lost And
they still retain the Impressions
that events have made on them.
Now, by means of this invention"
he tapped the Terrible Eye
fcouolcd with some aDDaratus that
Mahoney carries, I can recall cer
tain of these light rays. Stacks
of 'em, in fact They undergo a
kind of refining process in my
machine and I'm able to project
them onto a screen just as you do
the pictures on an ordinary movie
film. Catch?"
Hildy looked at him narrowly.
He seemed sober.
"For the benefit of my back
ward feminine mind." she said,
"let's take a concrete example.
Not that I'm falling for this utter
tripe. But suppose I wanted to
see oh, say the signing of the
Declaration of Independence.
Could you go into this limbo place
and get it for me with your your
what-do-you-call-it here?"
; "Certainly," said Jonah.
"How far back into history can
you go?" Hildy asked, in the tone
one adopts when humoring a luna
tic. "Pretty far," Jonah told her.
"I picked up a shot of Cleopatra
the other day. Incidentally, she
wasn't so hot Black as the ace of
spades."
"You are telling me that you
did that with this Innocent-looking
little gadget?"
"No, no," said Jonah. "This is
just a working model. I've got
a larger machine in a place I've
rented near here. That's the baby
that brings in the real stuff."
Hildy looked fearfully at the
model of the Terrible Eye. "But
what will this thing do?"
"Well, this works pretty good,"
said Jonah. "It would pick up
anything that's happened around
here in the last few days."
"Oh, my goodness," said Hildy.
She gave him a searching look.
"Listen, Jonah, this is pretty hard
to swallow. But you seem awfully
earnest about it So let's assume
it's true. If so, you ought to
smash your machines into little
pieces and forget the whole idea.
Why, it's just plain dynamite."
(To Be Continued)
