One pound of the substance is equivalent to 5,000, M . pounds, of coal or 3,000,000 pounds of gasoline. Two. in ex 1 uhi-ejrplosive power it" "Did you say explosive? Caro lyn asked. ' 'TYee.' vln. explosive power, a single pound of X-999 equals ap proximately 15,000 tons of trini trotoluene, and " : .Tons? Or. Hale? One pound to. 15,000 tons?" "."Tfes, Mba Tylerl Ifs unbe lievable but true! One pound to. 15,000 tons of TNT! I know it: stagger a person to think of it,! POT well, the language has no: . adequate words for this! History ha no precedents. With X-999 available, the human race must revise its entire concept of en-' ersy and power, as applied to daily: living. That is why I don't darei ' take chances on letting this pre-! cioua secret be lost now that Leana and I have -. chanced to but I must not digress. Put down that the quantity production ot X-999 in this laboratory has made pos sible the " a a a TTE slipped back from his sud "den intense conversation with. Carolyn into his dictation drone, choosing words with meticulous care lest he say neither too much nor too little. It was past 10 o'clock before ne paused again. This time he was at the window, and stopped talking for a long moment just to gare out at the blackness punc tured by distant city lights. It', was a natural stopping place in' u v. narrative. Carolyn noted. She sat back wearily in her chair, and tossed her pencil onto her desk. I -wouldn't want to be inqulsi-j iive,"- she began, laconically Dr.: 'Robert Hale was so young look ring! "But I'm sort of curious to know how scientists get along Iwithout eatinr. Mv mm lunrh wa ilO hours ago." She flushed with a' jraie smile. . f He turned to her, astonishment' painly showing. j Tor gosh sakes. Miss Tvler! I , rn,course!.Of course! I am so sorry.! Please forgive me. And please let' me. take you to dinner at once!' Over yonder four blocks is quite a' good drive-in. I often eat there. My, car is " "You aren't through the dic-l tatiog," she countered. "I may work all night Couldn't! possibly sleep this night in any: event Come on, we shall go eat."' The- employer-employe attitude! Was, by unspoken agreement left behind, partly because Carolyn was so naturally at ease and self sufficient toward him. She was not the giddy, scared person she had- been when she started in stenographic work three years ago., She had already risen to a true secretarial Job in the bank, and! she had jumped at this oddly in- triguing position at the scientific' laboratory because it had heldi tvtn better promise. In short shei was a -business woman with poise leven if she . were only 23. She icouia leave work on the desk iwnere It belonged, and relax when outside. '' --a a a . gHE was so good at it that within . inw sue naa 'SOD Hale 'himself relaxing. She saw mat ne was really a man who had driven himself unmercifully. She coaxed 'him to listen to music in the restaurant and discuss the manner in which a dish of sea food was prepared. Once he slipped. pectedly. "I must think of some' place where nobody lives." j "What stuff?" she asked. "The baked salmon?" "The X-899! Tomorrow we'll arrange for a truck to" "Hush!" she' ordered, smiling. Time now to rest a bit Do you dance?" "Why uh why. yes, I used to. I cant say that H "Come on!" Somewhat astounded at him self, . he danced with her twice before their hour here was done. Moreover, he liked it "You are a remarkable girl." he mid, a bit later. "Thank you!" She dimpled at him then. "But let's be going. If I must work all night I must." Outside in his car the talk slipped back toward business, and stayed there when they walked again down the office hall.' "I suppose it will have tremen dous economic importance," Caro lyn was saying there in the cor ridor. "Somebody will get rich. Me, I don't even try to save mon ey any more. A little poem ex presses it tii us: "There was a man who saved up for the future. He put in his money bags all he could spare! But alas, for the poor eco nomical moocher The future arrived and the man wasn't there!" Dr. Hale laughed heartily. The funny little rhyme did htm good, and he realized that just being with pretty Carolyn Tyler did him a world of good, too. His racing thoughts, however, were suddenly interrupted. Leana Sormi popped open his office door and came out glaring. What in the world happened?" she demanded. "Nothing, Leana. I've just been eating and dancing. And I", She was plainly shocked. "Dancing. Robert?" said she. In credulous. "And laughter, on this night of all nights? Have you gone insane?" Then the blond woman. Impres sive irr her anger and handsome in spite of it. turned to Carolyn with restrained fury. (To He Continued) OUT OUR WAY By J. R.
