PLANS FOR TnO
CHAPTER XXIV
JJOB RALE suffered the tortures
of the dunned as he raced
back down the old mine road. It
was narrow, and winding, and so
required 10 minutes at the best
possible speed. He was sobbing in
a sort of restrained hysteria.
Neither he nor the man with him
could speak. Bob had black visions
of his village completely buried or
at least laid In death and ruin.
Specifically, he suffered in seeing
Carolyn Tyler dead a thousand
ways.
He swerved around the last
carve, then, and Instantly identi
fied Carolyn herself.
He yelled at her. "CAROLYN!
. CAROLYN!
It was a wild, frenzied cry which
slipped Into infinite gladness when
ha saw that she was actually
running. I
aaa
rpHE village seemed intact, and
other folk were stirring now,
but he recognized Carolyn from
afar partly because he so desper
ately wanted to and partly because
he couldnt mistake the bright red
shirt she stall wore, the same one
she had worn during the ride.
That shirt had Intrigued him for
two hours this afternoon. It had
been a gay challenge to Leana
Sormi's severe black-and-white
riding habit. It had been precisely i
the right complement for Caro
lyn's flaxen curls. It had topped I
Just right her dark blue, form-J
fitting jodhpurs, to emphasize her!
as the slender, lovely girl she was. 1

to, Jumped out and started run-!
ning.
There was no outpouring of
words between them.
All at once he was holding her.
Just clasping her tight, feeling her
cry and trembling powerfully with
tier in sheer intensity of emotions.
It was she who murmured first.
"Bob! . . , Bob!"
Little girl! He kissed the top
(of her forehead, still squeezing her,
close. He shut his eyes tightly.
here was a strange, sad, and yet
I testacy between them.
was no chance to relax
for almost 24 hours. But late
that second day, amid the stor
ing and the milling and the ex
tern ent of peoples arriving and
loing through all the inevitable, if
idly hullabaloo, Bob said that the
ftime had come to take Carolyn
hway lest she drop In her tracks,
pier mother had already been sent
(to Blair, along with most of the
Remaining personnel here in the
Imountain village. Ofilcials from
the Arizona county seat, 100 miles
.away, had come to take charge.
First thing Bob did was to make
Carolyn eat She had lived only on
la sandwich and a few cups of cof
tfee forced on her since yesterday.
, "You must eat also," she re
minded him, there in the tiny Blair
Jinn. "Gee, Bob, we do get into the
atwfullest things!"
The meal was a life saver. In
'both It restored strength, energy,
hope.
i "Mind if we don't go back to
night?" he asked wanly, after the
twilight meal. "Let s just ride out
alone, where we can think."
They didn't have to go far. Only
mile or so to escape the flood
fit newspaper men, photographers,
officers, curious folk who had
poured in. They left Bob's car and
at on a flat red boulder near the
road.
Stars had begun their timeless
winking. Later there would even
be a moon, but already the world
was beautiful with the soft, eva
nescent something that is early
night
' Presently they found themselves
talking. Quietly, intimately, dis
passionately going over the whole
thing, recounting all the weeks
since she had first come to work
lor him, re-living the horror of the
explosion itself but in a new feel
ing of deep gratitude for escape.
, "I waited for you. Bob, at the
guard shack, when the guards told
me you had not come by," she
repeated for perhaps the tenth
time. "I just did! But when it
happened, I was afraid you had
gone in! The granite cliff saved
us even there, but I couldn't know
.about you."
, He held her very close. "You
waited. For me! It seems to me
that I have waited for you since
time began, Carolyn! Waited and
hungered for you. I was so madly
'in love with you when you dropped
from the airplane that if it
lhadn't been for your Ken Palmer,
J should have Carolyn, I warn
you I don't Intend to be a gentle
man ever again! You had told me
iin the beginning that Ken loved
tyou. I felt it only fair to f
' "But I didn't tar I ti.-mi
She laughed again. "And all this,
while I thought you indifferent!"
He shook his head a llltla hit-
terly. "I tried dutifully t
(myself on Leana. Thinking, and
tfeartagah and I might might-
POWER
Remember, I even appealed to
you!"
"I remember," Carolyn whis
pered. "It Is tragic, even so, to know
her guilty of this. I had no idea
she felt so deeply in a personal
way! But Carolyn, may we not
promise never to mention that as
pect of it again? Anything that
would cause unhappiness to linger
in you !"
"Of course. Bob. Oh Bob. please
hold ma very close, and kiss me
again!"
aaa
THEY talked for more than an
A hour, quietly, tenderly. It was
the best solace they could have
arranged. He grew, if possible,
more dear to her than ever, more
grand.
It was he who suggested giving
Ken Palmer a far better Job in the
Schoenfeld Laboratory back home.
It was he who swore then to tell
the secret of deriving X-999 to a
dozen other picked American sci
entists, who could form a corpora
tion for developing it in the safe
est sanest way.
It was he who. finally, said, "I
think I have earned a rest Caro
lyn, and I'd like it to be a year,
with you. Summer is near, and the
Pacific Northwest is beautiful.
Then a lazy sea trip down the
coast and across to Mexico City
They say it's romance land, sweet
heart! Romance land!"
He had slipped into a boyish
sort of enthusiasm. Here was a
Bob Hale she had never known
(before! She could not answer, in
words; there was a tautness in her
throat But she could press her
head a little closer into the crook

Last thing they saw when they
arose to go home wus a faint gray
spot high on the hills to the north
