It varied only from 19 to it min ute. She had, therefore, only to set an arbitrary hour for Carolyn to be Inside the shaft. Then she could time herself accordingly, and be at her prepared station on the far side of Mummy Ridge. She knew that her concealed receiver-generator, wired to set off the dynamite cap, was extremely sensitive. Her transmitter on Mummy Ridge would reach it eas ily, even through the rock and soil of Ton to Mountain. This time she had no accom plices, no one but herself to trust The perfection of the plan gave Leans double satisfaction. First, it would completely re move that annoying stenographer from the scene, she who had so brazenly intruded upon Leana's end Bob's affairs. Second, it would "punish" Rob ert for neglecting-her, by destroy ing the X-999 which be had worked so long to produce. Leana saw this not ss fantastic reasoning but as logical, righteous means to an end. She was so pleased with herself on this appointed day of victory, that she hsd sccepted Robert's im pulsive invitation to ride horse back with him and Carolyn. Why not go? Why not It would be her hour of triumph over the stupid, unsuspecting Tyler girl! In preparation, Leana spent al most an hour dressing this after noon. She had only the Hopi In dian cook to aid her, and she lacked what any average American-born woman would have called essential cosmetics, but she did an excellent job. Perfecting her hair, she saw that it was literally the spun gold of the love-story heroines. She posed before her mirror undeniably she possessed form and grace. She leaned closer her eyes were an alluring gray-blue. Only her cheeks and lips annoyed her. The cheeks were too high, like the Indian cook's, and the lips were definitely large and coarse. Angrily, she knew she could do nothing about either. She hastened to don a most becoming riding costume. fAROLYN experienced a mo ment of panic when Leans (Joined them. That Leana had come at alL or that Bob had even asked Iher, was a distinct surprise. Of Icourse, Carolyn had no alternative but to pretend pleasure. "How do you DO?" Leana jgreeted her with astonishing heartiness. It was as if they had been old acquaintances, meeting ;again after months of separation. "You look so nice!" Carolyn ven tured, and meant it. "But cot nearly as sweet and Idalnty as you. Isn't she the loveli est thing, Robert, dear?" Robert, dear, it developed, was fluite in agreement. In truth he :was delighted that the two girls iwere so companionable. He re icalled now that they hadn't culti fvated much of a friendship as yet. ; : But he berated himself for that.! iSince Carolyn joined the staff everyone had been so busy and distracted by various excitements.: He resolved to foster their friend ship more. And anyway, come to think of it, Leana was a sensitive person whom he was supposed to to, uh he frowned a bit to himself. He didn't wish even to think of his deeper personal "responsibili ties" toward her right now; he wanted only to ride for relaxation. "I could make thousands of men Jealous this afternoon," he said. . "Goodness, Bob!" Carolyn was nervous, but pleased. "Dr. Hale is gallant," Leana sup- i iplied. "But tell me more about1 yourself, Miss Tyler. Do you have' scientific leanings also? Or have you been trained more extensively in the fine arts?" She spoke loftily. Carolyn tried not to show that he was ill at ease. "Oh, no. I did go through college. Junior college, II mean. But I I had to work after ithaL I had to work my way jthrough junior college in fact. I (don't mean I'm ashamed of that, Ibut I J mean" It sounded so lame as to be em barrassing. Why was she allowing 'this woman to annoy her? But she 'didn't answer her own question; she only knew that Leana Sormt 'had re-awakened in her a vague but positive fear. Fear of the un known; an imperative, urgent sense of alarm. There was nothing she could do bout it. a THE two hours' ride dragged like ' two centuries. Leana kept up 'her astonishing conversation. Arty, highbrow talk, not quite posey but definitely superior, drawing con stantly if unlabeled contrast be Itween her own distinguished achievements and Carolyn's mea ger education and career. Bob Hale didn't notice. He was wont to beam happily at both of them and to show off what his horse could do. He wished he had a lariat He was a carefree kid at play again. He saw nothing of the prls" rather desperate drama of words. For that, Carolyn was thankful. When the trip so probably he had already gone in. From across a canyon Leana watched Carolyn depart She noted the exact time on her wrist watch. Then she rode her horse on around Mummy Ridge out of sight. After exactly 26 minutes she pressed a switch on the trans mitter she had'concealed. (To Be Con tinned) Bonanza Mrs. Cy Pool of Willow Ranch. Calif, was visitor to the home o( her daughters and families. Mrs. Lola Pankcy and j Mrs. Muble Maxwell, frthe was was over and i accompanied by another daugh- they were back at their little vil lage stables again, they separated with a certain forced merriment. Carolyn walked straight home. It was after 5 o'clock, she noted. Her mother was mixing a chocolate cake and. oddly, it didn't interest Carolyn, who also loved to cook, j She just sat and stared at the floor j for 20 minutes or so and was j surprised again when Leana Sormi j called her from out front She i went to the porch. Lcann was still on her horse. "Oh Miss Tyler." Leana beg in. ' "Robert asked me to bring a con- 1 fidential message. He wants you to ' meet htm in the tunnel at 6 o'clock. ! please. It seemed to be important " , Carolyn was mildly surprised. , "At ?" Leana nodded. "Yes. He thought it best to meet there while most of the village is at the dinner hour." Leana spoke sigrincantly. "You understand. At the sub stance. I think I shall ride a bit more myself. Another time we can go together, maybe!" a THE older girl rode away. When Carolyn had changed from her riding clothes she started to walk down to the trail and around the bend that led to the Tonto Moun tain tunnel. She was curious. She two days a week, looked for Bob but didn't see him, Wednesday. tcr and son-in-law and grand daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Dyer and Gcraldine from Red ding. Calif. The entire group, including Mrs. Maxwell and daughter Dolores and Mrs. Pan key and daughters.
