CHAPTER V
f ANSWERED queitioni In the
mind of Mr. Spud Delaney,
substitute driver for the Metro
politan Transfer Company, nagged
at his curiosity for a full half
hour while he edged hi truck in
and out ot the city's traffic. Tech
nically he should hive taken the
truck route down Commerce
street, which would have been
taster, but this was midnight and
by going straight through town
he could stop over by the furni
ture factory and have a late beer
with Red Cragin. It was only 30
miles to the farmhouse anyway,
so why hurry?
Be nulled up in front ot Cragin's
"Red Spot," which was just
shanty saloon catering to factory
worker by day and chance mo
torists by night The place would
have been closed for lack of busi
ness except that Red also slept
there. Red was willing to chin with
Spud Oelaney. They had more
than one beer; at least Spud did.
It was past 1 when Spud left
Red's bar, singing. He was not
drunk he was too smart to get
drunk on any driving job but he
wasnt depressed, either. He had
a good new cigar, on Red. . He
climbed up to his truck cab and
turned to face Red again.
"Red, I got the nuttiest load I
aver heard of." he declared sar
castically. "Big as my two fists,
settin' on cotton."
"What is it?"
"Hell, they aint told me! A two
ton truck and a two-bit package.
Heavy, though. I hefted it. Go
ing to a farmer.
"Want to see it?" Spud wung
down from the cab, opened side
door and climbed into the dark
truck.
He had his cigar between his
finger and he gestured with it
at the parcel. Red stepped up to
see and Spud snapped on an in
terior light Red pushed the thing
tentatively with his toot
"Man!" breathed Red. "You
wasn't joking when you amid
heavy! But it cant be 100 pounds.
Why you and this big buggy?"
"I dont get it They paid me,
Is an I know."
' "Yeah?"
"Yeah. Paid plenty."
! "Hmmm. Well, it's Just tied.
Wot sealed."
fFHE hint was enough. Arro
lx gant Mr. Spud Delaney bit his
l cigar again and, puffing, untied
the tiny parcel on the truck floor.
Red watched.

"Lift it Go on!"

still. Spud eyed it
; "Couldn't be rocks," be ven
tured. "If the guy was shippin'
'diamonds, there'd be the steel car
and guards. And it ain't a money
box."
"See what it is, then! Look at
it!" Red was impatient
Spud lifted the second tight
cover. There, in center depres
sion in the heavy lead, was what
appeared to be some other kind
of metal, a grayish, whitish, black
ish, elusive sort of substance, ir
regularly shaped, suggesting a
marble-sized wad of tarnished tin-

little in the dim light here, but
that could have been imagined.
"Hunh!" grunted Red, kneeling
near the box with Spud.
Spud again removed his cigar
to say something, and idly ges
tured with it as he spoke.
A nob of red-hot cigar ash sud
denly fell.

QAROLYN settled down in Dr.
Robert Hale's car with a little
sigh of weariness. He turned to
her.
"See here, let's go first for a
midnight bite of food," he urged.
"I can take the time. Please!" It
was his second such invitation to
day. Plainly he enjoyed being
with her.
"All right" Irrelevantly then
she added, "I surely hope nothing
happens," and instantly regretted
"You mean ?"
"I was thinking of the stuff; the
X-999. I mean I hope you find the
farmhouse ready, and all." She
couldn't quite phrase her feelings
about the strange events on this
new job. Things had an air of
mystery about them; vague, but
-inescapable.
"Of course. I appreciate your
Interest, Miss Tyler."
"Would you like to call me
Carolyn? I'd prefer it At least
when we are away from the
office. Mlss Tyler" sort of old
maid me!"
He suddenly smiled. "Why
yes!" They were at the nearby
drive-in cafe now and he turned
to her a he parked. He had a
i full view of her merry eyes again.
"Yes, Carolyn. What a lovely
I name It is!"
She might have thrilled a bit
'to that except that she had come
now to know Dr. Hale better. His
enthusiasm was the same he might
have expressed at a successfully
worked equation In chemistry. Or
was it? She ventured one quick,
quizzical glance at him again, and
again met his eye.
That flustered her. Her, Carolyn
Tyler, who thought herself en
,tirely sophisticated about such
fi
personal trivia! She had to laugh
aloud, at herself.
"If good to relax with you."
he went on. "You don't act so
eternally formal, like well like
Leana. You know what I mean.
And as for names, mine is Bob."
"You are my employer," she re
minded him.
"Not here. Not here, Carolyn!
I please! Last night you showed
me something. Showed me the
great value of relaxing from work.
I had almost forgotten. A bit ot
gaiety, of dancing, of small talk
please let that be a part ot your
job!"
He was so earnest with his
pleading that she was suddenly
touched by it Obviously he was
a gentle being at heart They
talked for a quarter-hour, rather
personally, and she learned or at
least deduced easily that Bob's
only intimate companion for the
past year or so had been the bril
liant Leana Sormi. He all but
confessed acute loneliness despite
his fame.

TT7HEN he had left her at home
" she went quietly to her room
and put on pajamas of blue silk,
then she sat on the edge of her
bed with one knee hugged up un
der her chin. Staring unseeing at
the floor, she reconstructed the
past two days.
A new job, a sensational new
job; an even more sensational
new secret and the trust it in
volved. The responsibility assailed
her, and the personality of Bob
Hale was an influential thing. She
had a sense of confusion but it
was a delightful, stimulating sort
of feeling even so. enough to make
her live in constant anticipation.
She, had no idea how long she
had thus sat meditating when,
abruptly, a not-too-distant roar
and reveroerauon sounaea. ner
very bedroom shook.
"Goodness!" she exclaimed, face I
