It was in a Iara house that teemed to be a combined residence and store. An efficient-looking woman in sight robe answered immediately when Carolyn ran to the door and knocked. "Hello! I Rare you a tele phone? Mar I please call for help? If I can just telephone Boulder Bam, I might" "Come in, honey!" The woman Interrupted Carolyn's frantic talk, appraised her quickly. "Look here, honey, it your name Tyler, and did you drop outen a air plane?" "Yes! Oh!" "Well. I'm that glad it' you! They've been already phoning about you. They's men out al ready on a search. Now ain't this just dandy! "Come in. child. You look be draggled. Aint you cold? They've already phoned about you from Boulder. I expect it's been on the radio, too. "Law, I expect they're a-tearing around every whichaway, for one at young and tweet as you! Now you just phone 'em back right now at quick as you can, and I'll get you something warm and dry!1 The good woman, not one to be overly excited, was plainly ex cited. Carolyn grabbed her. "What about Bob? Dr. Hale? TeH me! He must be safe or no body would know where I is he? Who called?" "Honey, set down a minute! He't safe. Him and the man fly ing him both is safe. It was a Mr. Bala that called me. He aid " That was all Carolyn needed. She called Boulder Dam spe cifically. Boulder City, Net, the town near the great dam. The operator there couldn't get Bob for her at the moment but did get the local airport, and the field official told her that Bob and the plane had come in safely. I Bob was about crajy, the offl Jdil admitted, worrying about her, and he would get word to Bob at one and call off the search. He talked tome more, but Caro lyn didnt hear it If the kindly waman here hadn't come quickly, Carolyn would have slipped right to the floor. It wat the first time in her life Carolyn Tyler had ever fainted, but even a young and healthy girl van stand only to much. JT took Bob Hale a week to quit begging Carolyn't forgiveness. Almost pitifully he apologized, ever and over, berating himself and humbling himself before her. He had honestly felt that her life depended on that parachute jump. She understood that. But when he had gone to tell the pilot, preparing to jump out himself, the pilot had taken com mand. The storm danger was in deed real but the pilot had stead fastly refused to abandon ship. His refusal had, in turn, made Bob decide to stay. Bob had tried to weigh the dangers both ways and in the end the presence of the X-999 had decided him. The pilot. Bob knew, could not be made to realize the extreme potency of that substance in the box. A forced chance landing, bumpy and rough, might set off the greatest explosion in the his tory of man. But even so. Bob elected to stick with the pilot and their freight He felt directly responsible for the X-999. Bailing out now would be cowardly run ning away, and at least Carolyn had a fighting chance. When it all ended happily he was like a boy released from some hideous dream and it took him days to calm down again. For her part, Carolyn was back to normalcy after a long sleep, a bath, fresh clothing and a hearty meal. "Nothing boring about being your secretary, at any rate," she told Bob, laconically. He was still serious. "I have raised your pav, Caro (Jyn! As I told you, theSchoen feld Laboratory is abundantly en dowed, and, of course, with the X-999 we have absolutely un limited means at our command, to " "So I'm still Just a steno being overpaid already, and that's that!" the declared flatly. "Please get right down to your work. Bob. The serious work, I mean." a a KTHEHE was much to be done. x That first day, while she slept, he had bought a station wagon, and would have carried the boxed X-999 to hit mountain retreat alone, but the Insisted on joining him. i Together they drove the price less stuff through the canyons to Blair, thence branched onto the rougher trail that led to the aban doned Copper King mine in Tonto Mountain. There they were met by Bob's workmen, who already Jid ere ried temporary, tents and shacks, reconditioned the narrow gauge ore track into the mine shaft and brought in provisions. When the X-999 had at last been deposited nearly three-quarters of a mile inside the mountain itself, Bob showed visible relief. "Now, for the first time, 1 can breathe easily," said he. "Now it is safe, and no one's life need be in constant danger. Thank heaven for that!" She liked that streak in him. That reverence, that feeling of humility and selflessness, despite the fact of his brilliance as a scientist and his fame. It was another reason for loving him. Loving him? She contemplated that again. Of course she loved him, more profoundly than ever. And with the rush of physical excitement subsiding, she would give full thought to that problem of making him love her. fEANTIME, Carolyn knew. Leana Sormi was a lurking, t insidious danger. She "knew" jt largely through Intuition, but it was definite even so. Leana's eyes had revealed it Leana's way of looking at Bob. The little things Leana had let slip back home. The peculiar cir cumstance of that first explosion. the hint contained in the telegram to Leana. and the fact that a train was robbed! They all added up too much to be mere coincidence. "IVe been terrifically lucky," Carolyn whispered to herself, in apprehension again. "She's not likely to miss any bets next time!" Leana would be brought here to the mountain retreat in a few days, Carolyn knew, because there was a great work facing her and Bob harnessing X-999, adapting its unprecedented power to en gines, inviting other distinguished scientists here for consultation, making the whole world of en' gineering! But Carolyn knew that some where in this rush Leana Sorml would strike again. And soon! Flee? Run away? Chuck thlt crazy job forever and go back to the city and its safety? "I could never do that," Carolyn told herself. "It would leave Bob helpless, alone!"
