"Meow?" said the mouse again with a slight hint of indecision that quickly turned to panic. It darted back under the control panel as Mackintosh leaped for it. Mackintosh brought up sharply against the end of the cabin. For a moment the blow dazed him, then he shook his head dizzily and scrambled to his feet, walking slowly toward the window in which the brown tinted disc of Mars was growing rapidly larger. * * * "Whew!" The Master wiped beads of sweat from his brow after pulling hastily out of the mind of the mouse. "That was close! Apparently I did something which made him suspicious. I should have studied these Terrestrial animals a bit more closely -- but how was I to know I'd need to control one in order to sabotage his ship? Why must I do everything myself? "At any rate, he'll never be able to turn the ship around for deceleration, and it will be some time before those puny Earthlings try again. We're safe for a while, at least!" - END OF PART VI - And so we reach the halfway point in this annual saga. Here's hoping the second six months of 1949 bring as good a series of chapters as the first did! Speaking of chapters, the one in the last issue was the product of that sterling fan from Sterling, Kan. BILL WARREN THE MASTER by C. STEWART METCHETTE (Member, NFFF) He writes of lands, half-wraithed in mists; Every detail by gloom is kiss'd. No human has ever trod the ways he paints: Rare scenes -- of beauty to rival saints. you are the one who treads the night Knowing the wonders that the master writes -- Until, exhausted, you place away To read again, some future day, Tales of weird and horrific things. Not one of staid Terra's offsprings Eases your faith in things mundane, Rather, you see A.Merritt again. Seven, eleven, and numbers fay To each he gives a touch sublime -- Filling the night with Hecate's slime. Don't shoot your grandmother; the law frowns upon it. Buy her a one-year sub to SPACEWARP and drive her nuts the easy way! 9
