Presently the mother mentioned Ernol, the radical; seemingly these people had been privately informed of what Powart was keeping from the workers. Fort commented: "I was really frightened when I heard of it. Why, if that fellow's philosophy is listened to, we all may have to work for a living!" His laughter rang above the rest; then he thought of Mona. "Oh, I say, I quite forgot, I assure you."
The dictator stared in amazement. Mona looked from the one to the other, perplexed. Fort was laughing shakily. "You may as well make your apologies now, Powart; you're out of it! I've won, and you've lost! I've done a bigger thing than you have!" Mona gave an exclamation of impatience. "What do you mean?" she cried shrilly. "Are you out of your head?" "Not a bit of it! I mean just what I say!
For all practical purposes, the investigation was narrowed down to what Billie, through Mona, and her husband, through Powart, were able to uncover. But it was enough; enough to strain their imaginations to the snapping point, and make all four doubt their new-found senses. Van Emmon declared that he intended to warn Powart that his plan was suspected.
Kinney's hand jerked as before, and the gong rang. The four awakened. They had been "visiting" over an hour. "I think we have learned enough to form some general conclusions," said the doctor, after the four had told what each had heard and seen. "Van Emmon's friend, Powart, seems to be anything but a democrat.
"Mona had an accident with her flier, a little while ago, and was rescued by " he looked closer at the aerogram "a chap named Fort. She is now recuperating on board the Cobulus." The tall man took the message and read it himself, while Powart glanced about the room. Van Emmon caught a glimpse of a clock, and he noted the pendulum especially. But before he could learn anything further, Dr.
For some time he paced the cabin of his yacht, and at the end he behaved like a man whose mind had been pretty strongly made up. The commission met, it seems, in a central part of Hafen. Powart reached the place some hours after leaving Mona. He arrived to find the other nine members waiting for him; and without the least delay he took his place at the head of the table.
Powart turned his keen gray eyes upon the athlete. "If there is any way I can show you how much I appreciate this " Fort waved his hand jauntily. "Wait till I do something that costs me a real effort!" Something in his voice caught the chairman's ear. He scrutinized the athlete more closely; and Billie found herself comparing the two. They were both big fellows; otherwise there was no resemblance.
A general smile of derision greeted this. The only face that remained serious was that of the shock-headed man. He said: "There must be a slip somewhere, Powart. Isn't there a heavy fine and imprisonment for teaching such stuff? How did Ernol ever get hold of the notion?" "Probably through tradition.
"No; I just want more time to think it over, that's all. It is not that I think less of you than before, but somehow, since having such a close call I haven't quite as much confidence in my ability to meet your expectations." This as though she had worded it beforehand. Powart showed little concern. "Of course I am sorry; but perhaps it is just as well.
Thus matters stood when half the industrial army of Holl, taken from their regular tasks, were set to the making of the giant gun and its equally giant projectiles. Monstrous though they were to be, however, they were no less prodigious than Powart. Could Fort, wondered Mona, possibly equal him? And so the weeks passed into months, and finally the great day came.
