16........THE FANTASITE petition of the Spool and Thimble Club is accepted, for treatment of the town "as a mental & spiritual corporation, in which Error has worked sad and grievous circumstances"! "THE MYSTERIOUS CARD" by Cleveland Moffett. 9 1/2 pp. A reprint "from The Black Cat for February, 1995, to meet the continued extra-ordinaary demand". This famous story needs no synopsis, as it is easily obtainable at the library. April "The Chambers of Silence" by Robert Whitaker, 13 pp. The title is suggestive; story is good, but not stf. "Between Two Suns" by Harry Stilwell Edwards. 5 pp. $100 Prize Story. Alas! This is no more than the tale of a criminal negro and a girl witness who, swayed by pity, tried to save him from execution. May "How The Bigelow House Got Painted" by M. I. Coggeshall. 15 pp. $500 Prize Story. "THE BRIDE IN ULTIMATE" by Don Mark Lemon. 5 1/2 pp. While rehearsing for a play in which the bride of an American is to appear as the spirit of the diamond, a bolt of lightning leaps out of a clear sky, seemingly drawn by a strange property of the large artificial crystal in which she is reclining, transforming her into a minute figure of loveliness within a diamond at her husband's feet. The man cares for the exquisite jewel that is his bride in ultimate form as if it were his own life, but a tragedy occurs. The gem is stolen by a supposed friend, then recovered, only to slip from his grasp and shatter with a slight explosion into a myriad minute scintillating particles after which happening he commits suicide. "To The Man It Most Concerns" by Irene Gardner. 9 1/2 pp. The plot of this story revolves around an engagement ring which is an ancient "beautifully wrought band of gold with strange characters within which, being interpreted, reads: 'United I symbolize love; separated, I symbolize hate'. On the outside of the ring above the word h-a-t-e was a tiny d stone, almost black and very dull; opposite the word l-o-v-e was set a small pearl of wondrous purity. By pressing delicately, yet firmly, on the little black stone, the ring would part into two sections, and it was only by holding the two parts together and pressing the pearl that they would again unite." "At the Bottom of the Sea" by Gordon Artherton. 3 1/2 pp. Divers find a man, still alive in a water-tight compartment where he had unknowingly found himself, in a sunken ship. June "The Gold Goose Scientist" by Harry Irving Greene. 8 1/2 pp. For the theme of this story, take the title literally, then give it a hoax explanation. "The Rivalry of the Grave" by Robert Irving Green. 8 1/2 pp. A story of a man who, falling unconscious at the sight of his wife in the arms of another man, apparently dead, is buried. But he awakes to escape the grave and get his revenge. "The Artist's Story" by Countess Loveau de Chavanne. 11 pp. $100 Prize Story
