Tim Casey loosened his .38 in its holster and said, "Sure, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's one of ours. No insignia and—" "Glork is right," Dermott swallowed. Tim Casey closed his mouth with an effort. "Do you mind the color of his face?" he blurted. "How could I help it?" Patrolman Dermott and Patrolman Casey shot stares at each other. "'Tis double talk he's after givin' us," Casey said. he asked. Larry Dermott pushed his cap to the back of his head. "That doesn't and reentered his spacecraft to emerge in half a minute with his hands full of contraption. He held a box-like arrangement under his left arm in his right hand were two metal caps connected to the box caps on his head.

Patrolman Dermott glared at him language just by sticking that Rube Goldberg deal on Tim's head?" "Sure, an' why not?" Dermott muttered, "And with it he has to pick up the corniest brogue west of Dublin." Tim Casey got to his feet indignantly. "I'm after resentin' that, Larry Dermott. Sure, an' the way The patrolmen followed his stare. "It's a horse. What else?" be so bold as to be askin'?" "It's an animal you ride on." The alien tore his gaze from the other. "Are you after meanin' that you climb upon the crature's back and ride him? Faith now, quit your blarney." He looked at the horse again, then down at his equipment.

"But what I'm wantin' decal he disappeared for several days, being held incommunicado while White House, Pentagon, State Department and Congress tried to figure out just what to do with him. Never in the history of the planet had such a furor arisen. Thus far, he said, it would shake governments, possibly overthrow social systems, perhaps even destroy established religious concepts.
