Joe looked at him, then let his eyes wander over the huge interior of the rlace, with its tables, dancefloor, bar, and or- chestra “All we need is a girl friend,” Joe grumbled. “All thig is wasted without one. No kiddin’.” “Maybe that can be fixed,” Ray said slyly. He sipped his cocktail while his eyes studied the activity around them. They settled finally on two young ladies sitting in a booth. They were alone, and Ray remembered now that they had been alone over there when he and Joe came in. The two girls were looking at them. “Let’s go over,” Joe said, risin; and starting over. Ray followe regretting the impulse that ha prompted him to start this. As they anproachsy the booth Ray studied the two girls. One of them seemec to appeal to him in some way. She was dark haired, | her face extremely white and smooth, but with an expression of strain lurking on it. Her eyes were large and round—which added to the air of tenseness, Her lips smiled anxiously as he paused with Joe in front of the table, “May we join you?” Joe asked politely, “Please do,” Ray heard the other girl say. He sat down beside the dark haired girl, his eyes still studying her. “I’m Joe,” Ray heard Joe say. “And this is my pal, Ray.” “I’m Nancy,” Ray heard the other girl say. “And this is my friend, Nelva.” “Nelva!” Joe exploded. But Ray was looking deep into her large blue eyes and realizing that he had instinctively known it was her. “We'll leave quickly,” he heard Nelva murmur in his ear. Her voice thrilled him. He nodded. “Let's go right now,” he said suddenly, gruffly. “Suddenly this place seems full of danger.” “It is,” Nelva said. She laid a hand on his arm. Her fingers bit Chapter 22 ! SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1951 a ROG PHILLIPS Pins and needles pricked every c2ll of his body for three terrible seconds. It ended abruptly. His vision cleared. The room seemed no different than it had been. There were people, music, and chatter, But suddenly Ray knew you arrived teenth, nineteen ninety-nine.” _ Ray heard Joe whistle softly in amazement. His head was spin- ning with bewilderment. “Let’s leave,” Nelva urged gent- ly. “We have lots to do. and lots here.” T WAS one of those rambling one story countryside _ resi- dences of the type designed by an architect who knows how to fit structure to living gracefully. Outside each window was a de- lightful world of plants and birds and squirrels, all so unconcerned about what went on inside that they carried their love making and fighting right up to the sills of the full length windows. Ray awakened to all this from the most restful slean he had had in a long time. He showered in a dream of glistening glass and chrome, dressed in clothes that had been laid out for him while he slept, and which were all new and never worn. In a kitchen designed for mod- ern living he fell in love with Nelva instantly, in her red check- ered housedress, She looked up from frying ranch ‘style eggs and flashed hima smile, Joe and Nan- cy were in the breakfast nook in the midst of their breakfast al- ready. Ray stood just inside the door- way looking at all this. His eyes returned to Nelva. He guessed that it must have been she who laid out his clothes while he slept, she who must have bought them. “Well, come on in and get com- fortable,” Joe ordered jovially. “Don’t stand there gawking.” “There’s plenty to gawk at,” Ray said, catching Nelva’s eye. He walked across the room pur- posefully and took Nelva’s face into his flesh. between his hands and kissed her it was not the same. “Which way did we travel?” he! asked, “Into the future “No, Ray,” Nelva said. “We've YY flere in 1999.

He thought: jt’s a very rare thing for a man to ind a girl with the same abilities and in- | terests. It was clumsy to put it that | way. ‘but the clumsy words ‘cov- ered everything. He Jet Joe and Nancy’ do the talking while he ate, with Nelva sitting beside him, also eating. He finished. Nancy got up and poured more coffee for them, Cigarettes appeared from somewhere—Joe had them and gave him one. ‘Now then, dream girl,” Ray id, smiling at Nelva. “Tell me. You know what I want to know Everything. Who are you, when and where do you originally come from, how did you accomplish the impossible in time travel—and without any gadgets that I could see, and why am I necessary in all this. since it’s Obvious that your knowledge is so far above mine that I can’t possibly contribute anything to yours?” “What would you say if I were a Vargian?” Nelva asked, She watched his face anxiously. “But you aren't!” Ray said. “You’re shorter—barely five feet five, while they’re over six, and you don’t have the extra-temporal ye. “Then let’s put it this way,” Nelva said, “What if the .Vargians were just plain human beings? Suppose any married couple could have Vargian children if they wanted them?“ “How would it be done?” Ray asked. “That would mean the Var- gians are a mutation on the hu- man race, and a controlled muta- tion that.could be repeated at will. Is it inheritable, or does every Vargian child have to un- dergo the operation or whatever it is?” “You're getting close,” Nelva said. “A Vargian is just an ordi- nary human being at birth, though of a strain different than the mod- ern ones.” “Then how do they get that third eye?” Ray asked.

Do you think we should try and persuade him to keep up with his college work? MOTHER.—Ga. Answer: Your son is evidently one of those people gifted with his hands and not a student. The best thing you can do is to let him do the thing he does best. He will be happier and no doubt a much greater success in such a field than the one you are trying to force him into. Different people have differ- ent talents and there is no prof- it in trying to drive a square peg into a round hole. | LOUISA. Address Your Letter to: “LOUISA.” P.O. Box 532, Orangeburg, S. C.
