But he :d Push it ahead of him Slade waved and shouted. But the wings neither dipped nor banked. Slade started swimming again, in a cold fury of defeat Something not unlike indignation gave strength to his strokes as he fought his des-perate way forward. He kept on, refusing to recognize the claws of pain that tore at his entrails or the weariness that made his breath come in quick and shuddering gasps. He kept on until his raft end ground-ed on a sandspit and he stumbled ashore and threw himself full length along a slope. "I don't like this," said the Fly-ing Padre, after he and his leather-cla- d daughter had dropped down on Iviuk Inlet to learn that Umanak had not returned from his overland trip to Echo Harbor. "Umanak knows his way about," said Lynn. "What worries me is that we've had no word from Alan." "Why should that worry you?" asked the Padre. "Because he should have been back before this," protested the girl In dungarees. "I hate to think of him in country where he's so out of reach of help." "Isn't he that way most of the time?" "But this is different," maintained Lynn. "And we can't even get through to him by radio." "So you've been worrying about ; Slade?" "I'm afraid I have, Dad." Some unexpected note of humility in that response prompted the Padre to glance over his shoulder and meet her gaze. "When did you find that out?" he asked. "Find what out?" parried Lynn. "That your bush hawk's worth worrying over. Or, to put it more plainly, that he's beginning to loom a little bigger in your mind than Barrett Walden." "I didn't say that." She was able to laugh a little at the solemnity in his eyes. "But you must remember that I've still got you on my mind." Lynn's father, turning to her, rest-ed a hand on either slender shou-lder. "You're mighty loyal to me. aren't Hes weak from hunger," she contended. "He must take some of this before he talks." Umanak squatted on the shingle slope and ate like a hungry wolf. Then, grunting with satisfaction, he reached into the pouch of his worn and patched kooletah and a produced fragment of velvet-blac- k mineral with a pitch-lik- e luster. "That urn," he announced. The Flying Padre took the frag-me- nt and turned it over in his hands. He noted its heaviness and J, Its suggestion of octahe-dron cleavage with faint tinges of brown and green. "Why, this is pitchblende," he said. "It's what we're getting our radium from these days." "But why should pitchblende be flown to Echo Harbor?" asked Lynn as she studied the lustrous mineral. "Who'd want it for radium there?" "That's what I don't understand," said the man of medicine. He turned to question Umanak. "Just where and how did you find this?" "Me find urn in cave," Umanak repeated. "In cave where water make deep harbor behind island. Heap big black stones piled there. Black stones like that," he insisted, pointing to the pitchblende. "How big heap?" questioned the other. "More big than two three black whale. Big heap hide there next to sea. Maybe ship come and take black stones away." "But why?" demanded the puz-zled Padre. Umanak had no answer for that. He was more interested, at the mo-ment, in reaching for another hand-ful of Lynn's dried beef. The Flying Padre suddenly turned to him. "Did you see your ghost plane when you were out there?" "No see," answered Umanak. Lynn took her turn at once more inspecting the lustrous fragment of mineral. "Is there any other use for pitch-blende?" she inquired. "Yes," was the meditative an-swer. "It's our best source of he-lium gas now. But what good would helium be to anyone in this wilder-ness?" you?" he said. "I love you, Dad," she said quite simply. "What we're going to do now is pick up Umanak. And as soon as that's done we're going to see what's keeping Alan in the Ana-wot- to country." But that declaration failed to re-move the line of worry from Lynn's brow as she stood staring across the low-lyin- g horizon to the south. "He's so careless and reckless," she complained. "He seems to love taking chances. He.won't even car-ry a radio." The Flying Padre smiled. "When did women begin losing their liking for courage?" he de-manded. "They always like courage," an-swered Lynn, "but when you like the man who has it you rather want to know what's happening to him." "All right," said the Padre, "let's start And while the sun's still high we'll see what we can do about pick-ing up old Umanak." Picking up Umanak, however, proved less simple than it promised. A two-ho- combing of the coast-line showed no sign of him. Then Lynn, acting as observer, caught sight of what looked like smoke sig-nals from an empty fishing village. The Flying Padre, informed of this, promptly circled back and swung low over the forlorn little huddle of huts. In front of those huts Lynn made out a squat figure, gesticulat-ing to them as they droned over it By the time they had nosed out a landing space, behind a saddle-back island that broke the surf, Umanak was waiting for them on the beach. He was footsore and emaciated, but the seamed old face wore a smile of triumph. "Me found um," he announced. "Found what?" questioned the Padre. "What devil-bir- d take to deep-wate-r cave." But Lynn at this point intervened. She came running from the plane with her coffee thermos and a gen-erous portion of their emergency rations.

"nted ai-- ) ta the sky I "What good Is it in other parts of the world?" The Flying Padre considered that question. "The American Navy uses it in their dirigibles. And the Germans, when they could get it, used it in their Zepps. But the States refused to release a stock to Hitler's air-men when we couldn't get a guaran-tee it wasn't going to be used for war purposes. So our German friends fell back on hydrogen, you may remember. Helium, you see, isn't inflammable." "But they're so far away from our pitchblende," Lynn objected. "They would have no way, now, of getting it to their chemical plants." "Chemical plants," echoed the man of medicine as his brow creased with thought. "Wait a minute," was the cry that came from the Padre's lips. "We're overlooking something." He took the black stone from Lynn. "You get more than helium from this stuff. You get more than radium You get uranium, uranium that has a flow of atomic energy five million times greater than what you'd get by burning coal. And supposing Alan's right in his claim that this is going to be harnessed and controlled and his 5 is going to be a new power, a power a billion times stronger than anything known? And supposing Hitler has ordered a blitzkreig of research in his home laboratories and they're a jump or two ahead of us in splitting the ura-nium atom? That would give him an explosive three hundred times stronger than TNT and a battleship that would be independent of fuel as long as it floated. And pitchblende, remember, is the nut that holds that meat And all around us here is the world's biggest and best pitchblende dt!"Butt still I don't understand." de-murred Lynn. I don't myself." agreed her fa-ther "Not yet But the lights coming to me. And the sooner we take Umanak home and get at the bottom of this the better."

Do You Remember-Aw- ay back when if the railroads were doing capacity business both in passengers and freight they could make money? Impending Battle: When the WAAC who never forgets finds she has to salute the captain who once said she had no style sense. We hear that every time our fleet commanders hear Alex Severesky on the air they check up to see if they still have any vessels left. 500,000 typewriters are wanted for the army and navy. We de-plore this. The army and navy have enough troubles without having to master the job ef changing a typewriter ribbon. Add similes: As funny as a poli-tician urging that politics be dropped for the duration. Ima Dodo watched the recent total eclipse of the moon. It lasted an hour and a half. "Gosh!" she ex-claimed. "For a time I was afraid it wouldn't get out-o- f it." Secretary Stimson announces that the army will now take men 50 years of age. Bring your pills, liniments, arch supporters, brace end truss! Can You Remember-Aw- ay back when woman's place was said to be in the home? The question every girl with a sweetheart in the service asks when-ever any other male of the same age ia observed in civvies, "Why isn't he in uniform?" SUOUSEHOLD illlNTSft Escalloped corn is especially flavorable if several chopped ripe olives are added to the dish before serving. When making raisin breads, cookies, etc., cover the raisins with hot water and simmer them for about five minutes before using. They will be larger and softer. To remove the shine from worst-eds mix a small amount of vinegar with water, dip a pressing cloth in it, place the cloth on the right side of the fabric and press with a warm iron. In choosing an innerspring mat-tress, look for these: well-temper-steel wire coils, long-fibere- d cotton or curled hair padding top and bottom, sturdy borders, strong ticking that won't stretch and some provision for ventilation. |
