And the first thing he did was accuse me of of fra ternizing with itinerant photog raphera." "He did, eh?" exclaimed Jonah wrathfully. "Nobody can call me itinerant." "Don't take your eye oil the ball, Jonah. Father went on to ay that he was very displeased with me. Of course, that wasn't news." "Go on," said Jonah. "Well, one thing led to another and we had a beautiful fight. And, Jonah, my father showed himself in his true colors. , He's a mon ster." "You don't say." "I do so. Listen! Father said that he was simply waiting for Chet to be accepted in the Air Corps. Then he's going to use his influence to have Chet stationed in Iceland or Mongolia or some other gosh-awful place. And the terrible part is, father really does have influence. He's this way with a lot of the brass hats and Mr. Bigs." For the second time that day Jonah Logan felt a feeling akin to love for Henry L. Channing. But he said cautiously, "I appreciate that Saxon won't be much good to you rocketing around in Iceland. .What can I do about it, though?" "Why, tell Chet, of course. He must be warned. Probably he can do something to offset father's icheming." . "Okay," said Jonah. "I'll tell him." "Thanks a millio.n, Jonah. You're a dear. Now I've got to get back. I sneaked out and they'll miss me." "Do you mean you walked all the way over here?" asked Jonah auddenly. "I had to. Father has im pounded my car. At least, he gave my tires to the scrap rubber cam paign." "Unbelievable," said Jonah. "But, naturally, I'U drive you back. First, though, how's for a took at the Terrible Eye?" Hildy hesitated. "I oughtn't to. But . . . well, just a peep." . Jonah raised his voice. "Turn off that skullduggery, Mahoney. A lady is present" There was a loud, regretful sigh from within the house. The living room lights went up. Hildy sat on the arm of a chair and glanced doubtfully at the Ter rible Eye. "All right, Jonah. Start the show." - Jonah snapped off the overhead lights and fiddled with mechan isms. Presently a blank oblong sprang up on the movie screen. He twisted the dial carefully. A few minutes passed. Then Jonah spoke. ' "You wanted to see the Declara tion of Independence," he said. "Well, thar she blows." - TpLDYgasped. :' A picture had come onto the screen. It was a view -ot a large high-ceilinged room. - The room was filled with men in queer costumes. Men in powdered wigs and knee-britches, who crowded around a table, evi dently shouting and quite obvi ously gesticulating. . For a few minutes Hildy watched, in enthralled silence. Then she turned away, said slow ly, "Listen, Jonah! Please don't get sore, but it could be a fake, you "know. This might be just a movie film you've gotten hold of somewhere. And this gadget" she tapped the Terrible Eye "might be some weird kind of projector." Jonah sighed. "Always," he said, "genius has had to combat skepticism. Remember how they kicked Columbus around? I sup pose you'd believe it's on the up-and-up if I showed you something that happened on your estate say, yesterday." ' "Well," Hildy said, "that would be more convincing." : Without a word Jonah worked the dial again. The Declaration ot Independence went back into limbo. For a short interval the movie screen was a mass of blurs. Then, very suddenly, a much clearer picture began to appear on it. "Jonah," said Hildy, in a con trite tone, "I take it back. Your machine's wonderful. That's our own summerhouse. And the lily pond." A figure had suddenly mate rialized in the background and was walking, purposefully, toward ' the summerhouse. Its costume was mannish, but it was definitely not a man. - "Why, it's Meath," Hildy said, surprised. "That new secretary of father's. Skulking about the grounds as usual." They watched as, on the screen, Miss Meath reached the summer house. They saw her glance fur tively around her. Then, all at once, she put one hand to her mouth. "Removing her brldgework, no doubt," suggested Jonah. "No," Hildy said suddenly. "She . . . Jonah, I think she's whistling. Through her fingers." Near the summerhouse was a large clump of rhododendrons. And from this cover there emerged suddenly, like a gro tesque number in djinns, the toughest -looking character that either Jonah or Hildy had ever seen. , ,." . "WHAT on earth said HUdy, j " in a hushed voice, "is that?" "It looks," Jonah said Judicially, "like the seven deadly sins all compressed into one puss." "But why would Meath be meeting such a a thug at our place?" "I don't know," said Jonah. "It's food for thoushl" . COPYfliaHT, t4S, NKA SKRVICK, INC. Hildy was quiet a moment On the screen Meath and the gorilla like individual seemed to be in earnest converse. Month was do ing the talking, with the gorilla on the receiving end. While he listened, he fanned himself lan guidly with a gray felt fedora. Once, he spat in practiced fashion. The removal of tho fedora re vealed a round close-cropped head. "Jonah," said Hildy medita tively, "I'm not going to say a word about tills. But I'm going to do a little spying on friend Meath, for a change." Just then the figures on the screen moved. They walked off, still in deep conversation, and were lost behind the rhododen drons. "I'll fish around and see if we can get 'em again," said Jonah, reaching for the Terrible Eye. gestion. "I really can't wait "No." Hildy vetoed this sug You'd better take mo home." A glamorous night A glamor ous girl. Mr. Jonah Logan never drove more slowly. "Jonah," Hildy said slowly, "I I think you're a swell guy. I really like you awfully, Jonah. If it weren't for Chet, I . . ." She didn't finish it But all at once, she raised herself on tiptoe. Lips, soft and warm, brushed Jonah's. Then she was gone. Mr. Logan experienced a mo ment of sheer ecstasy. He cut a kind of dignified caper and bounded into the eavesdropping Ford. "Ha," he said, addressing the Ford. "Ho! Did you ever hear, you mug, that while there's life, there's hope?"
