2 THE MAGICIAN OF SPACE The Captain was at his wits end. How in the name of heaven could such things happen? He was pulled out of his thoughts by the first mate who informed him that another space ship was near by. The Captain rose to go into the control cabin when a loud explosion rocked the rear of the ship. He yelled and rushed to the rear to see what the trouble was. With him went most of the officers in the control room and those thereabout. When they reached the rear they found that nothing seemed to be distributed. No sign of an explosion was seen. Mistified [Mystified] the Captain and Co. started for the control room. They arrived just in time to see a figure in s space suit slip into the emergency air-lock. Sitting on a chair as if in a daze was Clinkerton, the first mate. The Captain picked [up] a glass of water from the small sink and threw the water into Clinkerton's face. The man looked up as if he had just come to his senses and yelled, "Stop her, stop her quick. She's got the shipment of radium." "What," exploded the Captain. "Quick man speak up. How did she get it. You are the only one besides myself who knew where it was!" "I'm sorry, Captain," wailed the man. "It wasn't my fault. She hypnotized me into telling her where it was. I just couldn't help it. Look this was in my hand. Gosh!!" "Here, let me see," shouted the Captain as he took the piece of paper out of the first mate's hand. "Well I'll be darn. So it was her who was responsible for all those queer happenings. Darn it, I should have suspected it. We were all hypnotized into thinking we heard an explosion and the other things. And now it's too late to get her. She's probably aboard that ship that was near up, and is far away from here, Darn!" The slip of paper in his hand read, "With the compliments of the Magician of Space!" Later they found that Jane 5EM35 was missing and that the space where she had signed her name in the record book was blank! the end ----------------------------------------------------------------- More stories of The Magician of Space will appear in future editions of the Cosmic Booklet Series.
