She looks like she could smile at you and cut your throat at the same time.” “She's like that,” Nelva said. “It was she who conceived “the scheme of taking over the control of’your race. It was fool-proof, extept that I, in the ae ress of my education, stumbled onto something about time travel that hadn't been known before.” “This skipping back and living two parts of your life at once?” Ray asked, “That’s part of it,” Nelva ad- mitted. “The main part of it is that I can create what you call a circuit in the time stream, and tie them up in it, freeing the hu- man race in this wave forever | from the other.” “So that’s what they fear,” Ray said softly. “I had an idea it was something like that.” He frowned at the table surface for a few sec- onds. “But what part do I play in it? What I mean is, I’ve gath- ered the impression that in some way I'm vital to the whole thing. I find now that my knowledge is elementary compared to yours on the subject of time travel. I can't add to your knowledge, I’m cer- tainly not indispensable physical- ly.” “ET can’t tell you the part you plas yeas Nelva said? “You'll now when it’s all over—and that will be soon. I promise.” “And then you go back to your wave of reality and I don’t see you any more?” Ray asked, watch- ing her closely. “That depends,” she said, but there was a look in her eyes that seemed to say, “—on you.” There was a lapse in the con- versation. A bright sun sent its cheery rays into the kitchen, mak- | ing everything more vivid. The | silence was broken by Joe snort- ing. “I just thought of something,” he said. “If we go back and sit in that booth in the roadhouse at the time we were sitting there, we will in effect have lived almost a week in the twinkling of an eye. Incidentally, we disappeared from there without paying our bill.” e nen welcomes expr of the views of {ts read- but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which Tes requeated otherwise... KEY WEST—A WONDERFUL PLACE Editor, The Citizen: Am enclosing to you a piece of poetry, I would appreciate it very much if you would put in your paper, the Key West Citizen. We came to your lovely little city to stay, we thought about eight weeks. We have been here 6 months, it certainly is a won- derful place and I say that in sincerity. A TRUE FRIEND.

There’s too much to do. I can explain things as we go; along much better. Today we must go into the city and follow ou around in your time-line as it starts from having breakfast with Val Nelson.” _ “What!” Ray and Joe exclaimed in unison. op is going to seem strange, spooky, to you,” Nelva said as the: parke cafeteria. “Remember what I told you.

We can walk through a solid object just as if climbed out of her car, it were the beam of a flashlight.” | s “Then why don’t we sink into the ground?” Ray asked. “You do. a little,”.Nelva smiled.

If they did they could find me.” They stood and watched the progress of the breakfast, When it was over they followed them- selves and Val Nelson as they left the cafeteria, Ray remembered that they had made a tour of the city. He turned to Nelva. “What's the reason for our fol- lowing ourselves around like this?” he asked, “There must be a reason.” “There is,” Nelva said. “Re- member—as you lived this other period—that at night you couldn't sleep, and you took a walk during which you arrived at certain con- clusions about Val and Neal and the other Custodians?” he < Ray said doubtfully. Nelva said. “This may came to those conclusions largely because of this trip we are takin with you.
