"I
guess
I
didn't
miss
much,"
he
ended.
"You
certainly
didn't!"
she
assured
him,
with
a
smile.
"It
would
have
opened
with
a
purée
of
split-molecule
soup,
continued
with
an
entrée
of
breaded
electrons,
and
closed
with
an
ionic
café."
He
laughed.
"I'm
just
as
well
satisfied.
I
was
unable
to
attend!
Humble
as
it
is,
I
think
this
will
prove
to
be
much
more
wholesome
food."
Night
had
fallen
by
the
time
they
left
the
lunch-room.
Glancing
at
his
watch,
Kendrick
saw
that
they
still
had
better
than
a
half-hour
before
the
limited
was
due,
so
they
betook
themselves
to
the
police
station.
It
was
only
a
block
away
and
in
consequence
they
weren't
long
reaching
it.
The
chief
had
gone
home,
the
officer
at
the
desk
informed
them,
but
if
there
was
anything
they
cared
to
report,
he
would
be
glad
to
make
note
of
it.
A
big
raw-boned
westerner,
he
shifted
his
quid
as
he
spoke
and
spat
resoundingly
in
a
cuspidor
at
his
feet.
"All
right,
then--get
your
pencil
ready!"
said
Kendrick
with
a
smile.
"This
is
Miss
Marjorie
Blake,
daughter
of
Henderson
Blake,
of
New
York.
Perhaps
you
read
of
her
disappearance,
a
few
weeks
ago.
And
I...."
As
he
introduced
himself
and
told
briefly
of
their
astounding
experience,
the
officer's
eyes
bulged
with
amazement.
"Say,
what
yuh-all
tryin'
to
hand
me?"
he
snorted
finally.
"D'yuh
think
I
was
born
simple?"
"Press
your
button!"
whispered
Marjorie.
"Show
him
how
the
invisibility
ray
works.
It'll
save
a
lot
of
argument."
