Indeed,
that
was
his
own
fondest
hope--their
imperative
need,
if
the
people
of
America
and
of
the
earth
were
to
be
saved
from
this
appalling
menace.
But
what
basis
was
there
for
such
a
fantastic
hope?
Just
one,
that
he
could
see.
"That
thing
on
your
wrist,"
he
said,
voicing
it.
"I'm
surprised
they
let
you
wear
one
of
those."
"They
don't,"
she
smiled.
"I
stole
it!--from
one
of
the
maids
in
my
apartment.
It
was
the
only
way
I
could
get
here
without
being
seen.
I
felt
I
must
see
you
at
once.
We've
got
to
do
something,
soon,
or
it'll
be
too
late.
I
felt
that,
as
a
scientist,
you
might
have
some
idea
how
we
could
get
off."
"How
do
the
people
themselves
get
off?"
he
asked.
"That
escalator
ray--do
you
know
how
they
use
it?"
"No,
I've
never
been
able
to
find
out.
They
don't
let
me
go
near
that
part
of
the
city."
Kendrick
reflected
a
moment.
"Let's
have
a
look
at
that
invisibility
affair,"
he
said.
She
removed
it
from
her
wrist,
handed
it
to
him.
Somewhat
in
awe,
he
examined
it.
The
mechanism
portion,
which
was
linked
in
a
strap
of
elastic
metal,
resembled
only
superficially
a
watch,
he
now
saw.
Rather
it
had
the
appearance
of
some
delicate
electric
switch.
Rectangular
in
shape,
it
was
divided
into
two
halves
by
a
band
of
white
crystal.
In
each
of
these
halves
were
two
little
buttons
of
the
same
material,
those
on
one
side
round,
on
the
other
square.
