10 B. F. A. Mercury since we had left headquarters . . . and the University where Dr. Cummings had many friends and might be expected to tum up if he returned to the Planet Fairfield. Neither the hospital nor the university had turned up anything, but Lynn and I did get a lead on more members of our graduating class. The superintendent of the hos- pital was Eunice Story, and her assistants were Marion Preston and Jean Willett. Laurel Phelps was the hospitalls x-ray technician. fLynnJ The University of Outer Space Was directed by its president, Dr. Wayne A. Jarvis, who had achieved fame by publishing his revolutionary system of mathe- Iarvis System, two plus two could mathematician wished it to equal. matics. Under the equal anything the The immediate result was to make mathematics a much more popular subject in schools throughout the universe. Also at the university as the head of the Education De- partment was Prof. Loretta Leduc. The professor of Air Science at the school was that genuis of Hight, Dr. Richard Renfrew. And the university had a guidance director, too . . . Robert Hojaboom. Cjeanl Well, that about ends the story because just before we were to take off and return to earth we got the news that Dr. Cummings had arrived back on the Planet Fairfield, safe and sound. Ho had indeed been lured off his route back to the earth by a space siren named Irene Fontaine, just as Larry Martinson had hinted. However, two things prevented' the incident from becoming serious. First, Dr. Cummings was far too devoted to his Fairfield research to be detracted from it for long. And secondly, it seemed that Martinson himself had taken a personal interest in the space siren, and she had subsequently lost interest in the good doctor. fLynnJ And so our spaceship headed out into the night and back toward earth. We had gotten about halfway home when we spotted a bright light ahead. At first we thought it was just an ordinary star, but as we approached we realized it was a spaceship restaurant. So we stopped for one last cup of coffee. The place was called The Space Dairy Barn and, sure enough, its owner was Bar- bara Fairbanks. Barb laughed as only Barb can when we told her about the investigation. lBothl But, honestly, we donft understand why she laughed. And we donft understand why you have been laughing. It's all been true . . . every word we've been saying. You do believe us, donlt you. You must believe us . . . nobody here will . . . you've just got to . . .
