sweeping q hand over the estate
lit isn't Logan's usual method to
sneak In by the postern gate
as it were. Normally when Lo'
gan visits a little hideaway like
this, they rattle down the draw
bridge and roll out a red car
pet. But today for - for esoterit
reasons, the inmates of this es
tablishment are denied those
privileges. And solely because
Logan deems IL wiser TO see Mr.
Claiming the hard way"
well" said Hildy, II dom
like to discourage you. Blu
you've got a fat chance of see

in evidence" She pointed sud
denly at the model of the Ter

Jonah blinked. whats tina
got to do with it,"
practically everything. It's ;
camera. And Mr.. Mahoney il
carrying Photographic equip
ment. Well, Mr.. Claiming i!
very allergic to photographers.
But ! don't get it. He's tn,
camera king of America, ism
he? ! should think he and a cou
pie of photographers would b,
Brother Elks."
You would think So" Hid,
said, in a sympathetic voice
But Mr.. Charming has hae
plenty of trouble with photog
raphers."
From on high Mahoney re
peated a gloomy predic ( n
They'll run you out by the sea
of your pants. Like Jimmy Du
rante."
Silence, Mahoney! Listen
Hildy, / assure you that I'm ne
common photographer" Jonah
patted the Terrible Eye affec
tionately. This little gadget /,
kind of camera, of course. Blu
what camera! Why, this nea
fawn-colored housing conceals {
machine that could knock the
whole darn world on its beam
ends"
Hildy gave little shrek
ooh, Lord. It's a bomb. Ano
you're subversive. Go away"
Relax" said Jonah. 9TH,
mechanism, though colossal, i!
harmless.
"All right" said Hildy. "Il
take your word for it. Why dc
you want to see my-er-Mr
Channing?"
80" said Jonah, who hac
quick ears, "Mr. Claiming i.
something to you?"
well, you could say tina
we're related. He's my father
Gosh, he's playing in luck
isn't he? l m a n, having ;
daughter like you"
Hildy Claiming kicked at ;
nest of pine needles. Her blue
eyes were clouded. Listen" she
said surprisingly, II don't under
stand all this. But if you're try
ing to sell my father a bill o.
goods or take him for a ride OF
something, I'm with you. Hear
and SOUL"
Jonah stared at her. "You &C
tually mean that" he asked in
credulously.
II certainly do. I might as wei
tell you, Mr.. Logan :"
Jonah"
"Okay. Jonah. The plain fac
Is that Father and / are having
a feud. Compared to us, the Hat
fields and the McCoys were
chums."
Jonah grinned. "You dom

floors yours. I'm simply dying
to know about this internal ma

well" Jonah's brows wrink
led, cts a little involved. Blu
I'll try to explain without get
ting too technical, You see or
that card the words, Historical
Panorama? Well, believe it OF
not, this invention of m n {
which, for lack of a better name
call the Terrible Eye can re
produce past events"
Hildy shook her head. II dom
get it,"
ITO grasp what I'm talking
about" Jonah said, "you have
to realize that everything tina
happens on earth. or ever ha!
happened, makes an impression
on the light rays current at the
time of the event. Do you fol
low"
Hildy Charming sighed. "Thi!
must be a special brand of dou
BILE talk"
"Okay. Don't believe me. Blu
I'm telling you facts"
well, 60 on. It's fascinating
Darn it, said Jonah. Il car
prove it. Look, the light ray!

limbo aren't necessarily lost
