The Cosmic Junkman

The Cosmic Junkman

by Rog Phillips

The black eyes glanced down. The long-fingered hand began to retrieve the cards, then paused. Vilbis' almost classic features darkened with anger. With an effort he became calm. A secret inner amusement made little lights in his eyes as he looked up at his two captors again."You know," Bill Ford said thoughtfully, "sometimes I think you must have s..

At the North of Bearcamp Water

At the North of Bearcamp Water

by Frank Bolles

During nearly the whole of the forenoon of July 3, 1892, a soft rain had been falling.

How to Get Married, Although a Woman

How to Get Married, Although a Woman

by Irene W. Hartt

It is natural for girls to wish to marry. The desire to do so is not to be condemned, but rather applauded, for it is Heaven-born. The Creator implanted it in the human heart, man and woman alike. God made man for woman and woman for man. He did not intend that they should live apart from each other. When He said, “It is not good for man to be alon..
