It +came to a smooth stop in front of +a clean white house. A man got +out of the car and walked briskly +to the door. Reaching out with a +pink hand, he pressed the doorbell +with one well-manicured finger.</p> + +<p>The door was answered by a +housewife. She was wearing a +white blouse, a green skirt and a +green apron trimmed with white. +Her feet were tucked into orange +slippers, her blonde hair was done +up in a neat bun. She was dressed +as the government had ordered +for that week.</p> + +<p>The man said, "You are Mrs. +Christopher Nest?"</p> + +<p>There was a trace of anxiety in +her voice as she answered. "Yes. +And you are...?"</p> + +<p>"My name is Maxwell Hanstark. +As you may already know, I +am the official psychiatrist for this +district. My appointment will last +until the end of this year."</p> + +<p>Mrs. Nest invited him in. They +stepped into a clean living-room. +At one end was the television set, +at the other end were several +chairs. There was nothing between +the set and the chairs except +a large grey rug which +stretched from wall to wall. They +walked to the chairs and sat down.</p> + +<p>"Now, just what is the matter +with your husband, Mrs. Nest?"</p> + +<p>Mrs. Nest reached into a large +bowl and absently picked up a +piece of stale popcorn. She daintily +placed it in her mouth and +chewed thoughtfully before she +answered.</p> + +<p>"I wish I knew. All he does all +day long is sit in the backyard and +stare at the grass. He insists that +he is standing on top of a cliff."</p> + +<p>Hanstark took out a small +pad and a short ball-point pen. +He wrote something down before +he spoke again. "Is he violent? +Did he get angry when you told +him there was no cliff?"</p> + +<p>Mrs. Nest was silent for a moment. +A second piece of popcorn +joined the first. Hanstark's pen +was poised above the pad. "No. +He didn't get violent."</p> + +<p>Hanstark wrote as he asked the +next question. "Just what <i>was</i> his +reaction?"</p> + +<p>"He said <i>I</i> must be crazy."</p> + +<p>"Were those his exact words?"</p> + +<p>"No. He said that I was"— She +thought for a moment—"loco. +Yes, that was the word."</p> + +<p>"Loco?"</p> + +<p>"Yes. He said it just like those +cowboys on the television."</p> + +<p>Hanstark looked puzzled. "Perhaps +you had better tell me +more about this. When did he +first start acting this way?"</p> + +<p>Mrs. Nest glanced up at the +television set, then back at Hanstark. +"It was right after Texas +Week. You remember—they +showed all of those old cowboy +pictures."</p> + +<p>Hanstark nodded.</p> + +<p>"Well, he stayed up every night +watching them. Some nights he +didn't even go to sleep. Even +after the set was off, he sat in one +of the chairs, just staring at the +screen. This morning, when I got +up, he wasn't in the house. I +looked all over but I couldn't find +him. I was just about ready to +phone the police when I glanced +out the window into the backyard. +And I saw him."</p> + +<p>"What was he doing?"</p> + +<p>"He was just sitting there in the +middle of the yard, staring. I +went out and tried to bring him +into the house. He told me he +had to watch for someone. When +I asked him what he was talking +about he told me that I was crazy. +That was when I phoned you, +Mr. Hanstark."</p> + +<p>"A very wise move, Mrs. Nest. +And would you show me where +your husband is right now?"</p> + +<p>She nodded her head and they +both got up from the chairs. They +walked through the dining-room +and kitchen. On the back porch +Hanstark came to a halt.</p> + +<p>"You'd better stay here, Mrs. +Nest." He walked to the door +and opened it.</p> + +<p>"Mr. Hanstark," Mrs. Nest +called.</p> + +<p>Hanstark turned and saw her +standing next to the automatic +washing machine. "Yes?"</p> + +<p>"Please be careful."</p> + +<p>Hanstark smiled. "I shall be, +Mrs. Nest."</p> + +<p>He walked out the door and +down three concrete steps. Looking +a little to his right, he saw a +man squatted on his heels. He +walked up to the man. "You are +Mr. Christopher Nest?"</p> + +<p>The man looked up and stared +for a moment at Hanstark. +"Yep," he answered. Then he +turned and stared at the grass +again.</p> + +<p>"And may I ask you what you +are doing?"</p> + +<p>Nest answered without looking +up. "Guardin' the pass."</p> + +<p>Hanstark scribbled something +in his notebook. "And why are +you guarding the pass?"</p> + +<p>Nest rose to his feet and stared +down at Hanstark. "Just what are +you askin' all of these questions +for, stranger?"</p> + +<p>Hanstark saw Nest was bigger +than he and decided to play along +for a while. After all, strategy ...</p> + +<p>"I'm just interested in your +welfare, Mr. Nest."</p> + +<p>Nest shrugged his shoulders. +He reached into his shirt pocket +and pulled out a sack of tobacco +and some paper. Holding a piece +of paper in one hand, he carefully +poured a little tobacco onto it. In +one quick movement he rolled the +paper and tobacco into a perfect +cylinder.</p> + +<p>He put the sack of tobacco and +paper back into his pocket and +took out a wooden kitchen match. +He scraped it to life on the sole +of his shoe and applied the flame +to the tip of the cigarette. He +puffed it into life and threw the +match away. It burned for a few +moments in the moist grass, then +went out. A thin trail of smoke +rose from it, and then was gone.</p> + +<p>"Why are you guarding the +pass?" Hanstark asked again.</p> + +<p>Nest resumed his crouch on the +grass. "News is around that Dirty +Dan the cattle rustler is gonna try +to steal some of my cattle." He +patted an imaginary holster at his +side. "And I aim to stop him."</p> + +<p>Hanstark thought for a moment. +Strategy—he must use +strategy ... "Mr. Nest." He +waited until Nest had turned to +him. "Mr. Nest. What would you +say if I told you that there was no +pass down there?"</p> + +<p>"Why shucks, pardner. I'd say +you'd been chewin' some loco +weed."</p> + +<p>"And if I could prove it?"</p> + +<p>Nest answered after a moment's +pause. "Why then, I guess +<i>I'd</i> be loco."</p> + +<p>Hanstark thought it was going +to be easy. "Mr. Nest, it is a well +known fact that no one can walk +in mid-air. Is that not true?"</p> + +<p>Nest took a deep drag on his +cigarette and blew the smoke out +of his nostrils. "Shore."</p> + +<p>"Then if I were to walk out +above your pass you'd have to admit +there is no pass."</p> + +<p>"Reckon so."</p> + +<p>Hanstark began to walk in the +direction of Nest's "cliff." Nest +jumped to his feet and grabbed +the official psychiatrist by the arm.</p> + +<p>"What're you tryin' to do," +Nest said angrily, "kill yourself?"</p> + +<p>Hanstark shook free of his +grasp. "Mr. Nest, I am not going +to kill myself. I am merely going +to walk in that direction." He +pointed to where the cliff was supposed +to be. "To you it will look +as if I were walking in mid-air."</p> + +<p>Nest dropped his hands to his +sides. "Shucks, I don't care if you +kill yourself. It's just that it's +liable to make the cattle nervous."</p> + +<p>Hanstark gave him a cold glare +and began to walk. He took three +paces and stopped. "You see, +Mr. Nest. There is no cliff."</p> + +<p>Nest looked at him and laughed. +"You just take one more step +and you'll find there <i>is</i> a cliff!"</p> + +<p>Hanstark took another step—a +long one. His face bore a surprised +look as he disappeared +beneath the grass. His screams +could be heard for a moment before +he landed on the rocks below.</p> + +<p>Nest walked to the edge of the +cliff and looked down at the mangled +body. He took off his hat in +respect. "Little feller had a lotta +guts." Then he added, "Poor +little feller."</p> + +<p>He put his hat back on and +looked down at the entrance to +the valley. A horse and rider appeared +from behind several rocks.</p> + +<p>"Dirty Dan!" Nest exclaimed. +He reached down and picked up +his rifle.</p> + +<div class="trn"><div class="figt"><a href="images/001-2.jpg"><img src="images/001-1.jpg" width="141" height="200" alt="" title="" /></a></div> + +<p><b><big>Transcriber's Note:</big></b></p> + +<p>This etext was produced from <i>Fantastic Universe</i> January 1954. +Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. +copyright on this publication was renewed.

For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included.

Albert Hernhuter_ + + + Meeting the little man who isn't there is rated + an horrendous experience. But discovery that the + man _is_ there may be even worse. + + +The slick black car sped along the wide and straight street. It came to +a smooth stop in front of a clean white house. A man got out of the car +and walked briskly to the door. Reaching out with a pink hand, he +pressed the doorbell with one well-manicured finger. + +The door was answered by a housewife. She was wearing a white blouse, a +green skirt and a green apron trimmed with white. Her feet were tucked +into orange slippers, her blonde hair was done up in a neat bun. She was +dressed as the government had ordered for that week. + +The man said, "You are Mrs. Christopher Nest?" + +There was a trace of anxiety in her voice as she answered. "Yes. And you +are...?" + +"My name is Maxwell Hanstark. As you may already know, I am the official +psychiatrist for this district. My appointment will last until the end +of this year." + +Mrs. Nest invited him in. They stepped into a clean living-room. At one +end was the television set, at the other end were several chairs. There +was nothing between the set and the chairs except a large grey rug +which stretched from wall to wall. They walked to the chairs and sat +down. + +"Now, just what is the matter with your husband, Mrs. Nest?" + +Mrs. Nest reached into a large bowl and absently picked up a piece of +stale popcorn. She daintily placed it in her mouth and chewed +thoughtfully before she answered. + +"I wish I knew. All he does all day long is sit in the backyard and +stare at the grass. He insists that he is standing on top of a cliff." + +Hanstark took out a small pad and a short ball-point pen. He wrote +something down before he spoke again. "Is he violent? Did he get angry +when you told him there was no cliff?" + +Mrs. Nest was silent for a moment. A second piece of popcorn joined the +first. Hanstark's pen was poised above the pad. "No. He didn't get +violent." + +Hanstark wrote as he asked the next question. "Just what _was_ his +reaction?" + +"He said _I_ must be crazy." + +"Were those his exact words?" + +"No. He said that I was"-- She thought for a moment--"loco. Yes, that +was the word." + +"Loco?" + +"Yes. He said it just like those cowboys on the television." + +Hanstark looked puzzled. "Perhaps you had better tell me more about +this. When did he first start acting this way?" + +Mrs. Nest glanced up at the television set, then back at Hanstark. "It +was right after Texas Week. You remember--they showed all of those old +cowboy pictures." + +Hanstark nodded. + +"Well, he stayed up every night watching them. Some nights he didn't +even go to sleep. Even after the set was off, he sat in one of the +chairs, just staring at the screen. This morning, when I got up, he +wasn't in the house. I looked all over but I couldn't find him. I was +just about ready to phone the police when I glanced out the window into +the backyard. And I saw him." + +"What was he doing?" + +"He was just sitting there in the middle of the yard, staring. I went +out and tried to bring him into the house. He told me he had to watch +for someone. When I asked him what he was talking about he told me that +I was crazy. That was when I phoned you, Mr. Hanstark." + +"A very wise move, Mrs. Nest. And would you show me where your husband +is right now?" + +She nodded her head and they both got up from the chairs. They walked +through the dining-room and kitchen. On the back porch Hanstark came to +a halt. + +"You'd better stay here, Mrs. Nest." He walked to the door and opened +it. + +"Mr. Hanstark," Mrs. Nest called. + +Hanstark turned and saw her standing next to the automatic washing +machine. "Yes?" + +"Please be careful." + +Hanstark smiled. "I shall be, Mrs. Nest." + +He walked out the door and down three concrete steps. Looking a little +to his right, he saw a man squatted on his heels. He walked up to the +man. "You are Mr. Christopher Nest?" + +The man looked up and stared for a moment at Hanstark. "Yep," he +answered. Then he turned and stared at the grass again. + +"And may I ask you what you are doing?" + +Nest answered without looking up. "Guardin' the pass." + +Hanstark scribbled something in his notebook. "And why are you guarding +the pass?" + +Nest rose to his feet and stared down at Hanstark. "Just what are you +askin' all of these questions for, stranger?" + +Hanstark saw Nest was bigger than he and decided to play along for a +while. After all, strategy ... + +"I'm just interested in your welfare, Mr. Nest." + +Nest shrugged his shoulders. He reached into his shirt pocket and pulled +out a sack of tobacco and some paper. Holding a piece of paper in one +hand, he carefully poured a little tobacco onto it. In one quick +movement he rolled the paper and tobacco into a perfect cylinder. + +He put the sack of tobacco and paper back into his pocket and took out a +wooden kitchen match. He scraped it to life on the sole of his shoe and +applied the flame to the tip of the cigarette. He puffed it into life +and threw the match away. It burned for a few moments in the moist +grass, then went out. A thin trail of smoke rose from it, and then was +gone. + +"Why are you guarding the pass?" Hanstark asked again. + +Nest resumed his crouch on the grass. "News is around that Dirty Dan the +cattle rustler is gonna try to steal some of my cattle." He patted an +imaginary holster at his side. "And I aim to stop him." + +Hanstark thought for a moment. Strategy--he must use strategy ... "Mr. +Nest." He waited until Nest had turned to him. "Mr. Nest. What would you +say if I told you that there was no pass down there?" + +"Why shucks, pardner. I'd say you'd been chewin' some loco weed." + +"And if I could prove it?" + +Nest answered after a moment's pause. "Why then, I guess _I'd_ be loco." + +Hanstark thought it was going to be easy. "Mr. Nest, it is a well known +fact that no one can walk in mid-air. Is that not true?" + +Nest took a deep drag on his cigarette and blew the smoke out of his +nostrils. "Shore." + +"Then if I were to walk out above your pass you'd have to admit there is +no pass." + +"Reckon so." + +Hanstark began to walk in the direction of Nest's "cliff." Nest jumped +to his feet and grabbed the official psychiatrist by the arm. + +"What're you tryin' to do," Nest said angrily, "kill yourself?" + +Hanstark shook free of his grasp. "Mr. Nest, I am not going to kill +myself. I am merely going to walk in that direction." He pointed to +where the cliff was supposed to be. "To you it will look as if I were +walking in mid-air." + +Nest dropped his hands to his sides. "Shucks, I don't care if you kill +yourself. It's just that it's liable to make the cattle nervous." + +Hanstark gave him a cold glare and began to walk. He took three paces +and stopped. "You see, Mr. Nest. There is no cliff." + +Nest looked at him and laughed. "You just take one more step and you'll +find there _is_ a cliff!" + +Hanstark took another step--a long one. His face bore a surprised look +as he disappeared beneath the grass. His screams could be heard for a +moment before he landed on the rocks below. + +Nest walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the mangled +body. He took off his hat in respect. "Little feller had a lotta guts." +Then he added, "Poor little feller." + +He put his hat back on and looked down at the entrance to the valley. A +horse and rider appeared from behind several rocks. + +"Dirty Dan!" Nest exclaimed. He reached down and picked up his rifle. + + + + +Transcriber's Note: + + This etext was produced from _Fantastic Universe_ January 1954. + Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. + copyright on this publication was renewed.
