In three years they would own it, free and clear of debt, so David was willing to work hard taking care of the place and serving in their little restaurant. He had spare time, though, which he spent with his friends, Laurie and Johnny Smith, looking for uranium. His father had taught him a good deal about radioactivity and minerals and there was always a chance that he might find a deposit with his Geiger counter and help the family fortunes.<P>
