Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

As
Norman
choked
the
tale,
Fellows'
face
was
a
study.
And
when
it
was
finished
he
swallowed,
and
gripped
Norman's
hand
viselike.
"And
you
and
Hackett
figured
it
out
and
came
after
me--took
that
risk?
Crazy,
both
of
you.
Crazy--"
"Fellows,
Hackett's
still
there,
if
he's
alive!
In
the
Rala
city!"
Fellows'
voice
was
grim,
quick.
"We'll
have
him
out.
Norman,
if
he
still
lives.
And
living
or
dead,
the
Ralas
will
pay
soon
for
this
and
for
all
they've
done
upon
this
world
in
ages.
Their
time
nears--yes."
He
led
Norman,
excited
throngs
of
the
green
men
about
them,
into
the
great
building
from
which
he
had
emerged.
There
were
big
rooms
inside,
workshops
and
laboratories
that
Norman
but
vaguely
glimpsed
in
passing.
The
room
to
which
the
other
led
him
was
one
with
a
long
metal
couch.
Norman
stretched
protestingly
upon
it
at
the
other's
bidding,
drifted
off
almost
at
once
into
sleep.
He
woke
to
find
the
sunlight
that
had
filled
the
room
gone
and
replaced
by
the
silvery
Earth-light.
From
the
window
he
saw
that
the
silver-lit
city
outside
now
held
tremendous
activity,
immense
hordes
of
green
men
surging
through
it
with
masses
of
weapons
and
equipment,
flying-boats
pouring
down
out
of
the
night
from
all
directions.
He
turned
as
the
door
of
the
room
clicked
open
behind
him.
It
was
his
old
friend
Fellows.
"I
thought
you'd
be
awake
by
now,
Norman.
Feeling
fit?"
"As
though
I'd
slept
a
week,"
Norman
said,
and
the
other
laughed
his
old
care-free
laugh.
