 4k STORY: Leana sends Q
 leBEaln. Meanwhile, preparations 1oF moving x-0e9 60 on. Bob has found an abandoned mine shaft ln Tonto Mountain, easily acces. 1lbis. Carolyn accepts . telegram, ee4dg It's naysteFiouS messsge, ahem discsverB that Che wire ls nadFesged not to Bob, but to Asana!
 H-NARoLvN's eyes narrowed. ''This
 proves it"
 Her initial flash of regret over maving opened a private personal e1essage was completely gone. iiet anger rose within her. Hur- DMdly she re-sealed the message
 It's envelope had been too loosely elned = and took it to Leana's desk. Aear1a was across the compound at alte laboratory now.
 Carolyn went there, planning as eNe walked, She would have to shink fastI The guards all knew her because she had hired and paid them. But there was the mat ter of door keys, and physical help.
 sn Palmer would do anything ale asked. The U-235. Bob had n1Id. would be in four leaden boxes tctAling some 150 pounds, perhaps more.
 When will you load the boxes on the freight car?''' she asked Bob, when he had Q moment to spare.
 ''Be ready tomorrow morning. Tonight, really. But too much acc tivlty again at night might excite suspicion. Best to move as if. 1t were simple routine. don't you think?"
 She nodded. She saw the boxes and vent gingerly near to them, with Bob.
 t"One man could lift one box, couldn't he?" she inquired, in i"oh sure. It's safe now, encased in the lead" He smiled tolerantly as if at Q child, then showed her how easy 1t was by moving one of the containers a few feet and that Was precisely what Carolyn wanted 70 know.
 ZONE time later a westbound R freight train was moving at average speed across e nearby niate. It was exactly like hundreds pt other such freight trains, except &Nat in the caboose rode four arm. wa guards, carefully picked from those who had stood duty near the Nehoenfeld Laboratory. They did not look like guards. They were dressed like railroad brakemen.
 pr. Hale had simply explained to me railroad authorities that he was Shipping some valuable chemicals and had arranged for those four hcaretakers" to go along. They would stay, in shifts, with the spe- eia.ly chartered freight car when Ne was shunted onto a siding at the remote village of Blair, Ariz.
 Bob himself had thought to go Dlong aa guard but, as Carolyn polnted out, he could do nothing shat trusted hired men couldn't do, nnd his presence on the train might arouse too much interest.
 Then, too, Carolyn suggested, if &he shipment went without him, Bob could wind up his business affairs at the laboratory, and fly west with Carolyn and her mother, in time to meet the train.
 Leana Sorni was not present to Hlscuas the matter when the train aeft. Bob told Carolyn that Leana lad been unexpectedly called out ol town. Carolyn said nothing, but her pulse quickened.
 The train rolled with routine

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear son,
Harry Carlton Daley, who died one year
ago June 27, 1914 at the age of years, Z
days.
We often sit and think of him,
And think of how he died;
To think he could not say goodbye
Before he closed his eyes.
No one knows our longing,
No one hears us weep;
We shed our tears from aching hearts
While others are fast asleep.
Sadly missed by
Father. Mother and Sister.

The Chapel of the Presbyterian
Church has been improved by a
new carpet and painting.
Fruit jars are in. demand. The
asparagus, strawberries and cher
ry canning season is on for the
housewives.
White trousers are beginning
once again to be in evidence. They
are prime favorites with the young
men during the heated season.
Raspberries are plentiful in mar
ket. They made their appearance
week ago in fact, before straw
berries were gone, and the favor
able weather promises meaty fruit.
John H. Hoffecker is erecting a
storing house at his tomoto can

We acknowledge receipt of Pro-

mencement exercises of the Will
mington High School which comes
off the same time as our own-this
evening. There are 76 graduates,

The Times Office wishes to ac-
knowledge the kind remembrance
of the Ford-Staats nuptials by the
delicious wedding cake sent. We
congratulate the happy couple and
wish them a long married life.
One of our farmers says this is
the most prosperous year we have
had for thirty years-wheat, corn,
oats, hay, and potatoes excellent,
with fruit for the later crops
promising well.
In spite of the vagrant notices
our Town Fathers have had posted
up round and about town, they
still come, regardless of law or
anything else. A law worth max
ing is worth enforcing and our
Town Council should attend to it.
The original tennis club who laid
off hard dirt court on the Frank
Bailey lot on the old board yard
have again started up their season
of sport.
During the thunder storm on
Monday evening, lightning struck
tree and the corner of the kitch-

Cherries seem to be the only
scarce fruit this year but few
fine ones were in town yesterday
and went off readily at IL cents
i per quart.
We are now in the midst of a
warm wave," considerably warm
er than any weather we have had
since the first three days of the
month.
| Farmers are now busy in har-
vest. The fogs of Sunday and
Monday mornings, and the wet
mornings since have spread the
boards and made the sheaves more
difficult to handle, but the grain
had matured and it's quality fine.
The yield per acre will certainly be
above the average.
