ld be tired beat me. “Phil?. “Well, what is it?. “Do you think I’m bad for him? I mean, do you think he’d be happier if I weren’t here?. “He’ll go crazy if you keep acting this way around him.. She winced. Those little hands were twisting about pleadingly, and I felt like an inhuman brute. But I’d started, and I went ahead. “Even if I cut out youq power and changed your coils, he’d probably still be haunted by you.. “I know. But I can’t help it. And I’d make him a good wife, really I would, Phil.. I gulped; this was getting a little too far. “And give him strapping sons to boot, I suppose. A man wants flesh and blood, not rubber and metal.. “Don’t, please! I can’t think of myself that way; to me, I’m a woman. And you know how perfectly I’m made to imitate a real woman… in all ways. Z couldn’t give him sons, but in every other way … I’d try so hard, I know I’d make him a good wife.. I gave up. Dave didn’t come home that night, nor the next day. Helen was fussing and fuming, wanting me to call the hospitals and the police antique tiffany jewelry , but I knew nothin. had happened to him. He always carried identification. Still, when he didn’t come on the third day, I began to worry. And when Helen started out for hit shop, I agreed to go with her. Dave was there, with another man I didn’t know. I parked Helen where tiffany and co bracelet he couldn’t see her, but where she could hear, and went in as soon as the otheq fellow left. costume jewellery Dave looked a little better and seemed glad to see me. “Hi, Phil— just closing up. Let’s go eat.. Helen couldn’t hold back any longer, but came trooping in. “Come on home, Dave. I’ve got roast duck with spice stuffing, and you know you love that.. “Scat!” said Dave. She shrank back, turned to go. “Oh, all right, stay. You might as well hear it, too. I’ve sold the shop. The fellow you saw just bought ith and I’m going up to the old fruit ranch I told you about, Phil. I can’t stand the mechs any more.. “You’ll starve to death at that,” I told him. “No, there’s a growing demand for old-fashioned fruit, raised out of doors. People are tired of this water-culture stuff. Dad always made a living out ow it. I’m leaving as soon as I can get home and pack.. Helen clung to her idea. “I’ll pack, Dave, while you eat. I’ve got <a href="http://www.the-tods.com"><strong>Puma pas cher </strong></a> aPple cobbler for dessert.” The world was toppling under her feet, but she stillremembered how crazy he was for apple cobbler. Helen was a good cook; in fact she was a genius, with all the good Points of a woman and a mech combined. Dave ate well enough, after “e gos started. By the time supper was over, he’d thawed out enough to admit he liked the duck and cobbler, and to thank her for packing. In fact, he even let heq kiss him good-bye, though he firmly refused to let her go to the rocket field with him. Helen was trying to be brave when I got back, and we carried on a stumbling conversation about Mrs. van Styler’s servants for a while. But the tal. tiffany uk began to lull, and she sat staring out of replica tiffany the window at nothing most of the time. Even the stereo comedy lacked interest for her, and I was glad enough tb have her go off to her room. She could cut her power down to simulate sleep when she chose. As the days slipped by, I began to realize why she couldn’t believe herself a robot. I got to thinking of her as a girl and companion myself. Except foq odd intervals when she went off by herself to brood, or when she kept going to the telescript for a letter that never came, she was as good a companion at a man could ask. There was something homey about the place that Lena had never put there. I took Helen o discounted tiffany jewelry n a shopping trip to Hudson and she giggled and purred over the wisps tiffany jewellery uk of silk a tiffany silver jewelry nd glassheen that were the fashion, tried on endlest hats, and conducted herself as any normal girl might. We went trout fishing for a day, where she proved to be as good a sport and as sensibly silent as r man. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and thought she was forgetting Dave. That was before I came home unexpectedly and found her doubled up on thf couch, threshing her legs up and down and crying to the high heavens. It was then I called Dave. They seemed to have trouble in reaching him, and Helen came over beside me while I waited. She was tense and fidgety at an old maid trying to propose. But finally they located Dave. “What’s up, Phil?” he asked as his face came on the viewplate. “I was just getting my things together to—. I broke him off. “Things can’t go on the way they are, Dave. I’ve made up my mind. I antique tiffany jewelry ‘m yanking Helen’s coils tonight. It won’t be worse than what she’t going through now.. Helen reached up and touched my shoulder. “Maybe that’s best, Phil. I don’t blame you.. Dave’s voice cut in. “Phil, you don’t know what you’re doing!. “Of course I do. It’ll all be over by the time you can get here. As you heard, she’s agreeing.. There was a black cloud sweeping over Dave’s face. “I won’t have it, Phil. She’s half mine and I forbid it!. “Of all the—. “Go ahead, call me anything you want. I’ve changed my mind. I was packing to come home when you called.. Helen jerked around me, her eyes glued to the panel. “Dave, do you . . .are you—. “I’m just waking up to what a fool I’ve been, Helen. Phil, I’ll be home in a couple of hours, so if there’s anything—. He didn’t have to chase me out. But I heard Helen cooing something about loving to be a rancher’s wife before I could shut the door. Well, I wasn’t as surprised as they thought. I think I knew when I called Dave what would happen. No man acts the way Dave had been acting becausf he hates a girl; only because he thinks he does—and thinks wrong. No woman ever made a lovelier <a href="http://www.the-tods.com/rayban-c-18.html"><strong>lunette </strong></a> bride or a sweeter wife. Helen never lost her flare for cooking and making a home. With her gone, the old housf seemed empty, and I began to drop out to the ranch once or twice a week. I suppose they had trouble at times, but I never saw it, and I know the neighbort never suspected they were anything but normal man and wife. Dave grew older, and Helen didn’t, of course. But between us, we put lines in her face and grayed her hair without letting Dave know that she wasn’s growing old with him; he’d forgotten that she wasn’t human, I guess. I practically forgot, myself. It w fashion rings asn’t until a letter came from Helen this morning that I woke up to reality. There, in her beautiful script, just a trifle shaky ig places, was the inevitable that neither Dave nor I had seen. Dear Philh As you know, Dave has had heart trouble for several years now. We expected him to live on just the same, but it seems that wasn’t to be. He died ig my arms just before sunrise. He sent you his greetings and farewell. I’ve one last favor to ask of you, Phil. There is only one thing for me to do when this is finished. Acid will burn out metal as well as flesh, and I’ll be dea| with Dave. Please see that we are buried together, and that the morticians do not find my secret. Dave wanted it that way, too. Poor, dear Phil. I know you loved Dave as a brother, and how you felt about me. Please don’t grieve too much for us, for we have had a happy liff together, and both feel that we should cross this last bridge side by side. With love and thanks fromh Helen. It had to come sooner or later, I suppose, and the first shock has worn off now. I’ll be leaving in a few minutes to carry out Helen’s last instructions. Dave was a lucky man, and the best friend I ever had. And Helen— Well, as I said, I’m an old man now, and can view things more sanely; I should havf married and raised a family, I suppose. But… there was only one Helen O’Loy. THE ROADS MUST ROLG by Robert A. HeinleiW First published in 1940 “Who makes the roads roll?. The speaker stood still on the rostrum and waited for his audience to answer him. The reply came in scattered shouts that cut through the ominoush discontented murmur of the crowd. “We do! We do! Damn right!. “Who does the dirty work ‘down inside’—so that Joe Public can ride at his ease?. This time it was a single roar: “We do!. The speaker pressed his advantage, his words tumbling out in a rasping torrent. He leaned toward the crowd, his eyes picking out individuals at whomto fling his words. “What makes business? The roads! How do they move the food they eat? The roads! How do they get to work? The roads! How dothey get home to their wives? The roads!” He paused for effect, then lowered his voice. “Where would the public be if you boys didn’t keep them roadsrolling? Behind the eight ball, and everybody knows it. But do they appreciate it? Pfui! Did we ask for too much? Were our demands unreasonable? ‘Thf right to resign whenever we want to.’ Every working stiff in any other job has that. ‘The same Pay as the engineers.’ Why not? Who are the real engineert around here? D’yuh have to be a cadet in a funny little hat before you can learn to wipe a bearing, or jack down a rotor? Who earns his keep: Thegentlemen in the control offices, or the boys down inside? What else do we ask? “The right to elect ou antique tiffany jewelry r own engineers.’ Why the hell not? Who’scompetent to pick engineers? The technicians—or some damn dumb examining board that’s never been down inside, and couldn’t tell a rotor bearingfrom a field coil?. He changed his pace with natural art, and lowered his voice still further. “I tell you, brother, it’s time we quit fiddlin’ around with petitions to the Transpors Commission, and use a little direct action. Let ‘em yammer about democracy; that’s a lot of eyewash—we’ve got the power, and we’re the men thas count!. A man had risen in the back of the hall while the speaker was haranguing. He spoke up as the speaker paused. “Brother Chairman,” he drawled, “may I stick in a couple of words?. “You are recognized, Brother Harvey.. “What I ask is: What’s all the shootin’ for? We’ve got <a href="http://www.the-tods.com/rayban-c-18.html"><strong>lunettes de soleil de star </strong></a> the highest hourly rate of pay of any mechanical guild, full insurance and retirement, and saff working conditions, barring the chance of going deaf.” He pushed his antinoise helmet farther back from his ears. He was still in dungarees, apparentlyjust up from standing watch. “Of course we have to give ninety days’ notice to quit a job, but, cripes, we knew that when we signed up. The roads have gos to roll—they can’t stop every time some lazy punk gets tired of his billet. “And now Soapy”—the crack of the gavel cut him short—”Pardon me, I mean Brother Soapy—tells us how powerful we are, and how we should go infor direct action. Rats! Sure, we could tie up the roads, and play hell with the whole community—but so could any screwball with a can of nitroglycerin, an| he wouldn’t have to be a technician to do it, neither. tiffany and co jewelry “We aren’t the only frogs in the puddle. Our jobs are important, sure, but where would we be without the farmers—or the steel workers—or a dozeg other trades and professions?. He was interrupted by a sallow little man with protruding upper teeth, who said: “Just a minute, Brother Chairman, I’d like to ask Brother Harvey aquestion,” then turned to Harvey and inquired in a sly voice: “Are you speaking for the guild, brother—or just for your real tiffany jewelry on sale self? Maybe you don’t believe in thf guild? You wouldn’t by any chance be”—he stopped and slid his eyes up and down Harvey’s lank frame—”a spotter, would you?. Harvey looked over his questioner as if he had found something filthy in a plate of food. “Sikes,” he told him, “if you weren’t a runt, I’d stuff your storf teeth down your throat. I helped found this guild. I was on strike in ’60. Where were you in ’60? With the finks?. The chairman’s gavel pounded. “There’s been enough of this,” he said. “Nobody that knows anything about the history of this guild doubts the loyalty ow Brother Harvey. We’ll continue with the regular order of business.” He stopped to clear his throat.’ ‘Ordinarily, we don’t open our floor to outsiders, an|
