Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

So
Tommy,
who
usually
followed
wherever
Frank
led,
was
prevailed
upon
to
make
the
trip.
He
had
no
particular
feeling
for
Leland,
but
he
sensed
an
adventure,
and,
in
Frank's
company,
he
could
ask
for
no
more.
Frank
was
a
careful
driver,
and
three
hours
were
required
to
make
the
sixty-mile
journey.
Consequently,
it
was
late
in
the
afternoon
when
they
arrived
at
the
old
DeBost
estate.
It
had
stopped
snowing,
but
the
drifts
were
deep
in
spots,
and
Frank
soon
found
that
the
car
could
not
be
driven
through
the
winding
path
from
the
road
to
the
house.
So
they
left
it
half
buried
in
a
drift
and
proceeded
on
foot.
It
was
a
laborious
task
they
had
undertaken,
and,
by
the
time
they
set
foot
on
the
dilapidated
porch,
even
Frank,
husky
and
athletic
as
was
his
build,
was
puffing
and
snorting
from
his
exertions.
Little
Tommy,
who
tipped
the
scales
at
less
than
a
hundred
and
twenty,
could
hardly
speak.
They
both
were
wet
to
the
waist
and
in
none
too
good
humor.
"Holy
smoke!"
gasped
Tommy,
stamping
the
clinging
snow
from
his
sodden
trouser
legs
and
shoes,
"if
it
snows
any
more,
how
in
Sam
Hill
are
we
going
to
get
out
of
this
place?"
"Rotten
trip
I
let
you
in
for
Tommy,"
growled
Frank,
"and
I
hope
Leland's
worth
it.
But,
darn
it
all,
I
just
had
to
come."
"It's
all
right
with
me,
Frank.
And
maybe
it'll
be
worth
it
yet.
Look--the
front
door's
open."
