CHAPTER THIRTEEN IN LESS than an hour Leana Sormi had crystalized a rather daring plan. One to change the entire course of her life hereafter ‘ Robert Hale's tacit reprimand, because she protested against CaroIyn's “intrusion” here, had left her furious. Plainly, then, she must take complete possession of the! X-000 herself. In a way, it belonged to her. Dr. Hale could never have achieved his great discovery without her aid here, at least not for many months, she felt. And with the substance actually fn her possession, plus her own reputation as a scientist mn the Schoenfeld Laboratory with Dr Hale, she could command attention in any other scientific center—command the world to bow at her feet Before stupid, childish Robert Hale could even realize what had happened, Leana told herself angrily, she could make herself immensely powerful and rich. Maybe, then, Robert Hale would come] crawling to her! If she still wanted him. The vbung woman built up the scene in her imagination to astonishing reality. Normally, she woul have been shocked at hersell shocked that an otherwise orderly, trained mind could go off at suen a tangent. But in her intense training, Leana Sormi had taken no cognizance of the personal seif, and did not now recognize that she was after all, very human. As if to strengthen a case which needed strengthening, Leana wrote a telegram. She worded it with infinite care so as to indicate tremendously important information without actually revealing anything for sure. She didn't dare telephone it: she called the telegraph office for a delivery boy. The message was addressed to the general manager of one of the greatest industrial plants

“How will we then take the stuff to the cave, Bob?” Carolyn wanted to know. “Cave? Oh. I forgot to tell you. There is no cave. Something better. Four miles from Blair, the village, it Tonto Mountain, and an abandoned mine. There is a shaft, like a small tunnel, which slants almost horizontally into the mountain. There's even an old narrowuge rail track for ore carts, still fair shape, and it can haul our jeaden containers nearly threequarters of a mile. Right into the very depths of a rock mountain, Carolyn. It's perfect!” She was impressed. think so, Bob!™ “Tonto Mountain is half rock, apparently.
