CHAPTER rV 4
'CURE," agreed Jonah affably.
V "Think what would happen
If I put the thing on the market!!
Murder, divorce, blackmail and
and all sorts of things would be
rampant Scandals would bo un
covered by the minute. There'd
bo upset conditions compared to
.which this war would look silly."
There certainly would be."
"Furthermore, the whole con
ception of history would probably
have to be revised. You know
Good King Wenceslaus?"
"Oh, Intimately."
"Don't jest," said Jonah darkly.
The records have it that Wences
laus was a pious man. But don't
kid yourself. I could tell you
things about that guy that would
make your hair curL"
"How did you happen to make
this discovery?" Hildy asked.
There was still a dash of humor-the-lunatic
in her voice.
"By chance," Jonah said som
berly. The depravity of Good
King Wenceslaus had rendered
him somber. "Quite by accident,
during some photographic re
searches." . "But what do you want Father
to do about it?"
"I want him," said Jonah, "to
buy the Terrible Eye."
"Why sell it? If it wiU do all
you say, you could make your
everlasting fortune." -
" "True," Jonah said. "But right
now, I've no chance to exploit it
'To begin with, the Navy is going
to get the, undersigned in about
a month. Beyond that rm not in
terested in revising history. I'm
no more interested in unearthing
a lot of forgotten scandals. And
I certainly don't want all that di
vorce and blackmail traced to my
door."
. "I see. You want it traced to
father's?"
. "Well," said Jonah, '"your father
is a tycoon. Tycoons can take
such things. I cant I'm sensi
tive." "So IVe noticed. I suppose
youH ask father a good price,
wont you? About a million dol
lars?" . I
Jonah . considered. - "I don't
fwant to be too hard on your fa
ith er," he said at length. "Actual
ly, I'd set a figure a trifle under
that I think my iny nuisance
value ought to be worth a life an
nuity of 60 bucks a week."
"Well, I still think you're let
ting father off too cheaply," Hildy
said. "But what if he won't buy
It?" -.IK-, :-.
"In mat case," said Jonah, "I'll
be reluctantly compelled to market
the Terrible ye myself, in my
off-hours .. from the Navy, and;
break the Channing Camera Em
pire." :. : wy. .. . . ...
Suddenly" Hildy snapped her
Angers. "Jonah, I believe you've
got something, unless you're the
world's biggest liar. It would.
break father, wouldn't it?"
I "In two," said Jonah.
I "Then what are we waiting
lor?" Hildy cried. "Come on. I'll!
introduce you right away. And'
father will kick you out on youri
tin ear because you're a photog-i
rapher and then you'll have tol
ruin him. If s a natural." '
. "Okay," said Jonah, fired by
her enthusiasm. "I'd rather have
the SO bucks a week than go to
any trouble. But I'm prepared
to ruin your governor if he wants
it that way. In fact I'd get a
kick out of it I've suffered va
rious indignities at his hands. I've
' ' . . . Oweeel"
. .1 And, as though he were a pup
,pet worked by unseen strings, Mr.
Jonah Logan rose three feet in
the air.
.-. 4
A TERRIBLE screaming sound,
. the kind made by a banshee
from whom someone has just
snatched an ice cream cone, had
made Jonah whirl and jump. He
came down to confront a small
individual in a brown herring
bone sports coat who had evident
ly materialized from the pine
grove.
The individual had a queer so
ber face that peeped shyly from
behind a luxuriant sorrel-colored
mustache. He looked like the
Little-Man-Who-Wasn't-There.
i"Here," said Jonah, irritated.
The little man addressed Hildy.
"Ah, Hildegarde," he said.
Hildy seized his arm. "Unclei
Cal," she cried, shaking the arml
vigorously, "what were you doing'
just now?"
"Why, listening," said the little!
man.
Jonah thought he'd better get
into this. "Not only that," he
said sternly. "You were screech
ing. Like an owL Like a . . ."
Ho stopped suddenly and pointed.
Twenty feet down the grass path
stood a horse. It waB a large bay
horse, with a flowing tawny mane,
tawny fetlocks and a magnificent
tawny tail. But mane, fetlocks
and tall, in fact the entire horse,
wore sadly in need of clipping,
j Uncle Cal followed Cal's finger
"I did not screech," he stated.
"That was my horse, Bwchephalus.
Ho whinnied." -
"Never mind the horse, Uncle
Cal," Hildy said, "Were you eaves
dropping?" V TNCLE CAL made a deprecatory
w gesture. "I dislike that word,
my dear. Couldn't you put it
that I was strolling through this
peaceful pine grove when I
chanced, reluctantly, to overhear
most extraordinary conversa
tlon?" ,
t. A wary look cams Into Hildx'a
Jark-blue eyes. "Oh, you did?
So what now?"
Uncle Cal rubbed his hands. "I
shall have to have ten dollars."
"Ten dollars?" Hildy stamped
tier foot "Things have got to a
pretty pass when I can't entertain
i a guest without you popping
up and demanding money. But
tve won't argue before strangers.
'11 give you five dollars and not
a penny more."
"Now, Hildegarde," said Uncle
Cal dreamily. "Gentlewomen nev
er haggle."
"Sometimes, Uncle Cal," Hildy
said, "I could wring your wretch
ed neck." She looked at Jonnh.
'Lend me ten dollars for a little
while, will you, Jonah?"
Wonderingly, Jonah produced a
ten-spot Uncle Cat took it po
litely, but with a gleam in his
?ale eyes.
"That is quite satisfactory,
roung man," he said. "We may
now consider the transaction
closed." He looked down the path
toward the horse, who was sur
ruptitiously poaching oft a honey
nicklo vine. "Come along, sweet
Heart," he called.
Bucephalus ambled forward,
snagged another sprig of honey
suckle on the fly and halted be
side the trio, breathing softly
down Jonah's neck.
"Well, Hildegarde," Uncle Cal
beamed upon her. "This is capi
tal. It means oats for Bucepha
lus." "Oats to you," said Hildy.
"This generation," Uncle Cal
observed vaguely, "seems singu
larly devoid of respect But no
matter. Come, Bucephalus!"
And humming a tuneless tune,
Uncle Cal moved away. Bucepha
lus bestowed a parting breath
upon Jonah's neck and followed.
- Jonah, a touch dazed, looked
after them. "Who was that?" he
inquired faintly.
