SERIAL STORY
THE TERRIBLE EYE
I BY EDWIN RUTT
CHAPTER XX
"JONAH," Bald Hlldy Channlnj
sharply, "you're the head
man ot all tho goons. Why dldn'l
you grab the opportunity to tcl)
father about tho Terrible Eye?"
"Well," Jonah's voice was list
less, "it Isn't necessary to break
the Channlng Camera Empire
now. You're all fixed."
"I know. But what about your
nuisance value? Your $50 a week?"
, "I'm waiving It," said Jonah
somberly. "The Terrible Eye is
pure dynamite, as you said it was.
So you know what I'm going to
do? I'm going to have Mahoney
dig a deep pit. Then I'll put the
machines in the pit, together with
a record of my my investiga
tions." Hildy considered. "I think
you're right, Jonah. The Terrible
Eye is way too dangerous. But
what are you going to do next?"
"Hurry up this man's Navy,"
Jonah said decisively. "Then, if
the Foreign Legion's still operat
ing, 111 ask for a transfer to it
That's where guys go to forget,
Isn't it?"
"But what do you want to for
get? You . . ." Very suddenly
she stopped. Her eyes were on
Jonah's wristwatch. "Oh, my
Lord!"
"What now?" inquired Jonah,
startled.
"Jonah Logan, do you see the
time? It's 12:301 Chet, poor dar
ling, will have been waiting for
me a whole half hour. Oh, this
Is terrible) In all the excitement,
getting married just slipped my
mind. Come on, Jonah! Hurry!"
She dashed from the Taj Mahal,
Jonah at her heels. Suddenly she
'stopped running, and stared.
A moon, slightly on the gibbous
side, was patrolling the sky. It
poured silvery . wash over the
Planning preserves. And, from
the shadows into a patch of light,
there now emerged a threesome.
Stalking at the head of it, in
flying regalia, was Mr. Chester
Saxon. Just behind him, a pro
prietary hand on Mr. Saxon's arm,
marched a gentleman in uniform,
obviously a night watchman. Two
. paces to the rear came an indi
vidual fantastically garbed in a
nightshirt The nightshlrted per
son carried a pitchfork. Jonah
recognized him as one of the sta
blemen. "Would that be you, Miss
Hildy?" called the night watch
man, across 30. feet of open water.
"Griffiths!"! 1 Hildy . practically
s'creamed. -What ;on earth are
you doing?"
. "Caught him climbin over the
wall," Griffiths explained, not
without smugness. "An' collared
him." ... ...
"Let him go this minute. He's
he's a friend of mine."
Mr. Saxon did not wait to be
freed. He wrenched free. Livid
was the word for Saxon.
"Friend of yours," he roared.
"Well, you've got a fine way of
treating your friends. I suppose you
thought .it was a swell joke to
put those flares in a potato field
ja mile away from here. I sup
pose you think it's a swell joke
that I busted my landing-gear
and damn near busted my neck.
Ha-ha! I'm laughing too. Well,
Jet me tell you something. I
fwouldn't marry into a screwball
(family like this if I had to stay
single the rest, of my life." '
I And Chester Saxon turned on
raging heel, squared raging
shoulders and marched raging
into the darkness.
HEAD silence tell. Jonah Logan,
transported, hoped that his
heart was not being conspicuous.
The heart was beating out a blend
of tho "Jersey Bounce" and
"Alexander's Ragtime Band."
Then Hildy uttered a choking
sound, half-sob, half-laugh.
"Simonby," Hildy said, address
ing the stableman, "you're killing
me. You look like Satan ready for
bed."
: The stableman snapped to. For
the first time, he appeared to be
come conscious ot his dishabille.
Jerking the pitchfork from the
'ground, he faded. With him faded
'the night watchman.
1 But they did not fade alone.
One . who, at a listening post in
the darkness, had been privy to
ithe scene, faded likewise. And as
lie went, he indulged in a discreet
guffaw.
"Call me Maloney, will he?"
muttered Mahoney, with supreme
Satisfaction. "Nobody gets away
with that"
Jonah Logan spoke gently. "I'm
sorry, Hlldy. Indirectly, I'm re
sponsible. I'll deal er sum
marily with Mahoney. I can't
understand what got into him."
"Forget it, Jonah." Hildy said.
face still averted. "Because it
could be that Mahoney did me a
favor."
Mr. Logan was quite sure ot
it Bui, sapiently, he forbore to
say so.
For a moment Hildy was silent
Then: "I've been thinking, Jonah,
but it's no use. I simply can't
figure out how I came tn forget
completely to go and get married.
Unless ." She checked herself.
"Yes?" said Jonah encourag
ingly. Hlldy drew a long breath. "Un
less it was because I I actually
wasn't in love with him."
"Maybe that's how it was,"
Jonah said. -
I At that point a long mournful
Whistle sounded. , It was a late

local' train, New York bound. In
this train sat Miss Moath, the for
mer Gertrude Swan. Miss Mcath
looked like a cat who has been
given carte blanche in a creamery.
Miss Mcath was thinking it rather
strange that Joe the Cracker
hadn't shown up at tho rendezvous
on the stroke of midnight. But,
presently, she dismissed the mat
ter from her mind. It wasn't im
portant Because, in the suitcase
at her feet, there reposed a dia
mond tiara worth 40,000 smackers.
At least, that is what Miss Mcath
thought
The whistle howled again and
the night wind wafted the din to
Wildover.
"I like train whistles," Jonah
said, almost carelessly. "They re
mind me of going places and doing
things. You know, things you get
a kick out of. Like . . well,
honeymoons and stuff."
"Oh, honeymoons," said Hildy.
"But of course, Jonah, you've no
time for honeymoons. You're join
ing the Navy and then the For
eign Legion and and ... oh,
skip it!"
Jonah put an end to shilly
shally. He also put a tentative
arm around Hildy Channing.
"Sure, I'm joining the Navy,"
he said. "But not tomorrow. To
morrow I've got a date with your
paternal ancestor. To show cause
why I followed him and made
movies. Well, when he's all
through talking, Logan will speak.
And Logan will demand to know
what objections, if any, he has to
his daughter marrying an itiner
ant photographer."
"Oh, Jonah!" Hildy turned her
face to him swiftly. It was okay
for a lopsided moon to leer at her
now. "What possible objection
could he have? He said in plain
English that he didn't care if I
married the iceman."
