Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
60
Crowds
lined
the
air-route,
and
every
few
miles,
so
thick
was
the
air-traffic,
he
was
forced
to
hover
and
address
the
cheering
multitudes.
Hartford
itself
was
en
fete,
and
across
the
main
road
the
City
Bosses
had
hung
an
old-fashioned
banner,
strung
from
house
to
house
on
either
side,
bearing
the
legend:
For
World
President:
NATHANIEL
LEE!
Nat
turned
to
Madge,
who
was
seated
beside
him
silently.
"Ever
hear
of
'getting
married?'"
he
asked.
"Of
course
I've
heard
of
it,"
replied
the
girl
indignantly.
"Do
you
think
I'm
as
dumb
as
that,
Nat
Lee?
Why,
those
old-fashioned
novels
are
part
of
the
public
schools'
curriculum."
"Pity
those
days
can't
come
back.
You
ought
to
be
a
World
Presidentess,
you
know,"
said
Nat.
"I
was
thinking,
if
we
registered
as
companionates,
I
could
take
you
into
the
White
House,
and
you'd
have
a
swell
time
there
taking
X-rays
on
visiting
days."
"Well,"
answered
Madge
slowly.
"I
never
thought
of
that.
It
might
be
worth
trying
out."
The
Second
Satellite
By
Edmond
Hamilton
[Sidenote:
Earth-men
war
on
frog-vampires
for
the
emancipation
of
the
human
cows
of
Earth's
second
satellite.]
Norman
and
Hackett,
bulky
in
their
thick
flying
suits,
seemed
to
fill
the
little
office.
Across
the
room
Harding,
the
field
superintendent,
contemplated
them.
Two
planes
were
curving
up
into
the
dawn
together
from
the
field
outside,
their
motors
thunderous
as
they
roared
over
the
building.
When
their
clamor
had
receded,
Harding
spoke:
"I
don't
know
which
of
you
two
is
crazier,"
he
said.
"You,
Norman,
to
propose
a
fool
trip
like
this,
or
you,
Hackett,
to
go
with
him."
