Only BAIT of the precious X-399 was lost, but the remainder is A constant threat, Carolyn is angry whem Leanna takes Rebert away,

CHAPTER EIGHT IN BOB HALE'S office phone rang. Carolyn, as his secretary, arose to answer it, but plainly Bob was not used to having a secretary yet. He reached for the handpiece himself, “Hale talking,” said he “This i= Ken Palmer, Dr. Hale” came the voice Uh, it be all right if I inquired about Miss Tyler? Carolyn? Fact is, I'd like to talk to her, if it won't be too much trouble ; “Sines right here” to Carolvn. Its Mr Ken, it developed to know where ing herself the explosion y

And industry can absorb its own losses. Cant it? For so important a have, Bob? pounce your discovery, m-ke payment in financing your wok kept secret now.’ He suddenly looked at her. Carolyn Tyler was an eternal surprise to him. One hour she was a swift stenographer, nothing more. a moments tice, she could be an altogether dainty and feminine somebody with conversation and mannerisms far removed from anybodys office. And now again she was talking in calm business sense, crystallizing his own thoughts for him helping him face the problem at hand in a practical way. He nodded at her slowly, appreciatively = = = “1 HAVE AN idea.” she went on *you are distressed to death, Bob, about what to do with the remaining X-999. now that you have actually produced a quantity of it you say you don't dare experiment on it here because of the danger, ang vet a tragedy occurred when vou tried to move a part of it. Now jook— wouldn't it be feasible to—" The telephone rang again and this time it was long Qistance wanting Bob himself. She waited. But the conversation turned out to be a long one, not concerning

the matter at hand. Presently, she retired to the

Later, we will send more. But in six homes there is tragedy because of us.” “You are a scientist, not a sobbing preacher!” She was out of patience with him already, Carolyn discerned. In spite of herself, Carolyn had to listen. “Leana, you don't mean that. Not that way.” { “I meah that you have infinite (power now in your hands—you and iI together.” Ieana’s tone suddenly softened, grew more intimate and insinuat{ing “Dont you understand?
