Nelva and Nancy are smiling down at you. Suddenly you remember. You’re afraid of what might happen. Then abruptly the fear is gone. There were too many hours of drilling and training. There’s nothing to be afraid of—only now the gun is loaded, No blanks. No red lights and blue lights and buzzers. “Stay put, you,” Nelva jeers good naturedly, and you realize you've been switching around in all five dimensions. But how could she do the same? You sit up in bed as the startling truth hits you, and wonder why it wasn’t obvious all the time. “You can do it too!” Ray ex- claimed. “Of course,” Nelva murmured. Her eyes softened. “There are four of us now. You and I, and Joe and Nancy.” Suddenly Ray knew how lone- some and alone Nelva had been. He sat up in bed and held out his arms. She crept into them. “The Alchemy of the gods,” Ray murmured. “What?” Nelva asked dreamily. “Nothing, darling,” Ray said. “It was just a way of saying we've found each other at last.” “Yes,” Nelva said, firmly push- ing away from him. “And now we must get ready for the big mo- ment.

The three young ladies and two men in the car with him were all members of the Custodians. The car radio brought frequent terse reports of the path Ray and Joe were taking, sent by hidden highway police patrol officers. Thus it was that when Ray and Joe decided—app. ntly on the spur of the moment—to stop and. have a_drink at the next road- house, Craig was a mere half mile behind, and able to drive in and park, and enter the place at the same time as those two. He had .a_ brief moment of panic when Ray bumped him at the entrance, but Ray gave no in- dication of having reeognized him! Inside, he and his party took a table near the two, and where they could survey the patrons without seeming to do so. _ It was then that he hit on the idea of taking their car away. from them. He outlined the plan, to one of his men. When Ray rose and went toward the men’s room, the man followed him, returning with the key to the car and a dazed look. It had been too easy. “Well,” Craig said. “Then this must be where he intends to meet Nelva. Just in case. though, we'll go ahead with it. Take the car,. and if this isn’t the place we'll manage to talk them into riding with us where they’re going.” (To be continued) Today’s Anniversaries 1791 Buchanan, Penn- —James or, congressman, s tary of state, . the ident, born near Mer- 15th cersburg, Pa.
