 1VH special direct mind which
 he'd made Leana Sorml dls- einNuished as Q scientist, was Axcuaht into use now in her per- sonM affairs.
 EhB had tried one or two round- about ways of accomplishing her end. She had tried to make Robert Hale aware of her aS woman, with ell implications of conpan- tonship and Hove" as she knew it, Next, more desperately, she had tried Co corner their priceless sup- ply Of x-eoe for herself, and with the power it entailed, force Robert, and the world in general, to her feet But in each case c contempt lhle, lMtle vlolet-eyed stenogra- pher had wrecked her plansl It was enough to infuriAte anyone.
 Wherefore, Leana calmly plot ted Co attain her goal in the way that would bring most satisfaction, she didn't formally recognize it as Q revenge motive: her plan to do away with Carolyn Tyler was colder, more practical than ahtt.
 Revenge" would have sounded Enelodramatic to Leana, But the Tyler person was in the way, and just as she would have taken pains Co eliminate any obstacle in Q pura suit of science, feana would stop ct nothing to eliminate Carolyn as an obstacle in her personal pur- suit.
 Most potent weapon at hand was the x-ooo Itself. Leana put down as point No. 1. Only three people had actual access to the %-eoe, there deep in Tonto Moun- tain. They were Robert Hale, Car olyn, and Leana.
 Now, out.and-out murder is both nAessy and dangerous. But if the ob- iectionahle Tyler girl were the vic. tim Of an accident--
 ENR0M the store of materials ai- G ready brought here, and from her unlimited privilege of order ing things, Leana constructed relatively simple device while working six nights in the privacy of her home. In effort, 1t was merely c compact radio receiving set, but tuned into high sensitivty and strength, Moreover, 1t was so arranged that a small built-in electric generator could be set in motion by 1t, from considerable distance away. Initial impulse could be radioed from c small transEnltter which she built to serve this one particular need, The transmitter was easily port- able.
 Entrance to the old mine shaft, deep in which the x-oeo was now safely stored, was guarded an shifts by three men,
 feafa Sornii had free access, hence was not interrupted when she came quietly along one morn- ing carrying C wrapped parcel
 She remained in the ahaft for. more than on hour. If the guards noticed thta she came out without her package they had no ocea- sion to think that fact important.
 Actually, LAAna had concealed her impFovasOd radio receiver end geneTator under small stones c few feet from the box and the leaden insulAtors where the xseoo rested.
 Then ahe buried insulated wsres AaAt ran from the generator di. Tactly to the main box, up to the heavy leaden cases. With extreme care, then, sch lifted the Id of one laaden ease, inserted an ordinary esercussion cap such as workmeii slse constantly to explode dyna- mite, and left at there connected Go her two wires.
 ''N0w," shO told herself with calm satisfaction, q have but to get the stupid girl in here. And thAt went be hardl"
 CxM had decided to complete ell 1 the preparations this morning, heeAuse she was absent from nor. znal laboratory duties anyway. She would now take the sending apparatus, tho transnaitter tuned oafefuily with the receiver in the mine shaft and hide t outside as planned.
