We Run From the Hunted!
by Darius John GrangerJust then someone knocked at the door. Harry and I shared a small cabin in the Venus on the Half Shell stockade.

A Town Is Drowning
by Frederik PohlThe man in the filling station was clearly of two minds about it, but finally he buttoned up his raincoat and pulled on his hat and came out to Mickey Groff's car. "Sorry to make you come out in the rain like this," Groff said. "Fill it up, will you?"He rolled up the window and picked out the least soaked wad of Kleenex to wipe the mist off the ins..

by Max VerwornThe lectures on irritability here published were held at the University of Yale in October, 1911.

I do not want to think of them, but I—but we—must, Jason sweetheart, we must! And life so all-wondrous, beating vainly against their iron bars and loo..

I do not mean this as a sceptical question, doubtful of any end in their creation; no answer about adaptation and environment would be adequate, nor any statement of specific use. For with all the higher animals—that is to say, with all the animals one intimately knows—there is some beauty of intelligence, physique, or charac..
