"RALPH 124C 41+"

By HUGO GERNSBACK Editor, "Amazing Stories" Against an amazing background of mechanical, electrical and chem¬ ically altered life of mankind there is set a brilliant and colorful ro¬ mance in the life of the greatest living scientist 700 years hence. Ralph’s love for the beautiful stranger, his conquest of his rival and the worsting of the great sat¬ urnine Martian, culminating in a running fight in space with tragedy and terror conquered by almost un¬ believable and incredible weapons, make one of the most interesting and gripping stories ever told.

back my word. Everyone knows you, but I am too young a man to have any statements accepted."

"Why didn't you call in some of the others?"

He looked at me coldly. Then, "Harvey, I'm not crazy. When I did this thing I realized that I was risking my life, putting myself on the wrong side of the law. When I spoke to you just now I was frantic, but I understood none-the-less that I was gambling again with the revenge the herd takes on those who offend its projudices."

"But if you were afraid to tell the others, or to tell me, how could I be your witness to science? How could it ever be told? Sooner or later you must suffer for it."

"I hoped you would wait until I die. I hoped you would put your name to documents. I may outlive you—I may grow greater than you are—but I am one man alone."

"You think I will keep still, while you know the rest would bring the law on you?" I reached across the table and opened his Shakespeare to "King John." "You demonstrated scientifically once, Murtha, that I am very responsive to appeals. Where do you suppose my sympathy is in this case?"

"But Harvey, haven't I suffered too?" Haven't I been tormented?"

"You deserve it—Vinton doesn't, and his mother doesn't. Have you suffered more than those two together. You are paying her for the boy you killed. I wonder if she is pleased with her bargain? You don't know what they mean—you have no children——"

"But he was hopelessly hurt. Can't you understand?"

I sat in silence. What was the use of talk? I might better go. He was crouching over the fire, wringing his hands rather horribly. Was it fear, or some worthier anguish? Who can tell? He spoke again.

"Is it nothing to you, a scientist, that I have proved once for all the nature of the neural current? Men a thousand years from now will look back to this work as the final word on the subject. Harvey——?"

I rose and moved toward the door. He was after me, half kneeling, clawing at me. "Harvey—you won't take—any—action——"

I shook him off, and went out. The last I saw of him was a wild figure, his whole body quivering in silhouette against the light of the open door.

The papers told how he was found next morning.

The End.

“He Used to Belong to Our Crowd” “He’s the only one of the old gang who made good” "That’s Bob Thompson, sales manager for Fink & Snyder. They say he makes $15,OCO a year. “Yet it hasn’t been long since he wasn’t making more than $35 a week. I know, because he used to belong to our crowd. There were six of us and there was hardly a night that we didn’t bowl or shoot pool or play cards together. "Lots of times we would sit down and talk about earning more money, but that’s all it ever amounted to—taikl Bob was the only one who really did anything. “ ‘I’m through wasting my spare time like this,’ he said one night. ‘I’m going to take up a course with the International Correspondence Schools and try to make something of myself before it is too late? "We didn’t see much of Bob after that—he’d al¬ ways laugh and say he was ‘too busy’ when we’d ask. him to join a party. “Look at him now. A big man in a big job.
