"I +suppose I'll have to give it to you. +But the stuff had better be good."</p> + +<p>"Oh, it is," I assured him. +"And you don't have to be afraid, +because I couldn't possibly skip +with the loot. I'll have to travel +naked. I can't get there with so +much as a sandal on one foot or a +filling in a single tooth. Fortunately, +my teeth are perfect."</p> + +<p>Sweat poured off Krasnow's +florid face as he worked the combination +of his office safe. His fat +jowls quivered unhappily around +his cigar while he counted out the +bills. Ten per cent was cash in advance, +and the rest went into a +bank account in my name. I paid +off a batch of bills, then stripped +and did my off-to-Buffalo.</p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<div class="figleft"><img src="images/h2.png" alt="H" width="61" height="50" /></div> +<p>onest" John Krasnow was +a crooked District Attorney +who wanted to be Governor and +then President. He had the Machine, +but he didn't have the +People. And, because he needed +the People, he needed me. I had +been to this other dimension—the +one on the farthest branch of the +time-tree—and I could give him +what he wanted.</p> + +<p>Krasnow found out about it +after I was hauled up in front +of him on a check-kiting charge. +I'd had something of a reputation +before I got into difficulties +and, in trying to live up to the +reputation, I had done some plain +and fancy financing. Nothing that +fifteen to twenty grand wouldn't +have fixed—but while I scrounged +around, trying to get cash, I +kited a few checks. They pyramided +me right into the D.A.'s +office, where Krasnow was properly +sympathetic.</p> + +<p>"How," he asked, "could a man +of your standing in the scientific +world stoop so low?" It developed +into quite a lecture and, even +coming from Krasnow, it made +me feel pretty low.</p> + +<p>So I began explaining. I told +him where I was born, and where +I went to school, and where I +had taken my sabbaticals—including +this other dimension. +And Krasnow believed me. I +can't account for it, except possibly +because he knew he was a +crook and knew I wasn't one—exactly. +Anyway, he believed me, +and we made the deal and I did +the side-shuffle, as agreed.</p> + +<p>The journey to that other dimension +is not a pleasant one. +It does disturbing things to the +stomach, and you see everything +thin and elongated, as if you're +sitting too far to the side in a +movie theater.</p> + +<p>I got there, however, and waited +for the hiccups to subside. +<i>Hiccupi laterali</i>, I had called +them when I considered writing +an article for the <i>Medical Journal</i> +after my first trip. With the hiccupi +gone, I stole some clothing—which +was one of the riskiest parts +of the program—and waited for +morning. I didn't have any +money, of course, so I had to +hitchhike into town.</p> + +<p>I could have stolen myself a +better fit, but people aren't +clothes-conscious in that dimension. +They're more interested in +what you are and what you can +do. The driver of the car that +gave me a lift asked, "And what +is your field of endeavor?"</p> + +<p>I told him, "I am able to eliminate +the long wait in ivory production +by accelerating the +growth cycle of elephants."</p> + +<p>He was deeply impressed and +tipped me handsomely. I was less +impressed with his talent for +growing cobless corn, and therefore +had to return only a small +part of the sum he gave me.</p> + +<p>The world of this dimension +had developed some remarkable +parallels to Earth. I mean our +Earth, which falls into what I +have designated Timeline One +Point One, since it's the Earth +with which I am most familiar. +Every other world that has a language +calls itself Earth, too. I +had to visit briefly hundreds +of the lateral worlds, hovering +over primordial swamps, limitless +oceans, insect kingdoms and radioactive +planetoids, before I +found the one that was truly +parallel.</p> + +<p>It existed in Timeline Seventeen +Point Zero Eight, and it had +refrigerators, platinum blondes, +automobiles, airplanes, apple pie, +tabloids, television, scotch and +soda—just about everything we +think makes life worthwhile. But +it had its little differences, which +was only to be expected in a +timeline where the bionomics +could create a new world each +time someone changed his mind.</p> + +<p>Thus, the cobless-corn man was +driving what looked to me like +a Chevrolet, but which was a +Morton in his world. He let me +off near a downtown restaurant +where, thanks to our little exchange +of talent talk, I had +enough money for breakfast. It +was considered unethical to swap +talent talk outside the limits of +certain rigidly defined groups, so +I didn't try to out-impress the +waitress.</p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<div class="figleft"><img src="images/f3.png" alt="F" width="38" height="50" /></div> +<p>ed, and filling my stolen +clothes a bit better, I walked +to the recorder's office and spent +the rest of the morning looking +up old documents. There was +nothing there for Krasnow, as I +had expected. But for me there +was a very pretty file clerk. +Talking to her, I verified my impression +that human instincts and +relationships were much the same +in this dimension as in my own—except +in the one basic respect +that interested Krasnow, of +course.</p> + +<p>The file clerk and I lunched together +and then I spent the afternoon +in the library. But I didn't +find anything there, either, and +then I had dinner with her. She +said her name was Julie. I told +her mine was Heck, for Hector, +which it is. She thought this was +"awfully cute" and we got along +fine.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> +<img src="images/image_1.png" width="400" height="470" alt="" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Julie had a delightful apartment +and a matching sense of +hospitality. The following day, +when she went to work, I stayed +home and washed the dishes and +made the bed and used the telephone.</p> + +<p>I ran up quite a bill with my +long-distance calls, but I found +out what I needed to know. I +impressed a lot of people with my +elephant story and pretended to +be impressed hardly at all with +what they told me they did—although +often I was, very much.</p> + +<p>The trouble with these people +is that they no longer know how +to lie, if that can be listed as +trouble. I don't think it can. +Neither did Krasnow, obviously. +He'd never have sent me off on +my expensive side-trip if he had.</p> + +<p>Of course, Krasnow looked at +it objectively. What he wanted +from Timeline Seventeen Point +Zero Eight was not for himself. +It was for everybody else. He +wanted the formula for the truth +gas these people had developed +long ago and loosed upon their +world to put a stop to wars.</p> + +<p>They had been in a bad way, +although no worse than the sort +of problem we were up against. +Their trans-ocean squabbles and +power politics seemed to have +settled into a pattern of a war +or two per generation. Just like +us. Hence, the man who invented the truth gas became a +global hero, after a certain +amount of cynicism and skepticism. +All the doubts vanished, +naturally, once the gas got to +working. And so did war.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> +<img src="images/image_2.png" width="600" height="540" alt="" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>You can't do much plotting and +scheming if, every time you open +your mouth to tell a lie, you +stammer, sweat, turn red and +gasp for breath. It's a dead giveaway. +Nobody tries it more than +once.</p> + +<p>One or two men had tried to +nullify the gas or work out a +local antidote, either as a pure +research project or through +power-madness. But, because +they had had to state their purposes +as soon as they thought of +them, they were put away. Neat. +Very neat.</p> + +<p>What I wanted was the formula +for the truth gas. Its location +wasn't exactly a secret in this +land of complete candor, but it +wasn't writ large on any wall +for all to see, either. They kept +it in their capital—located about +where our Omaha is—on file +among the Vital Statistics.</p> + +<p>I took a superjet out there.</p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<div class="figleft"><img src="images/i6.png" alt="I" width="38" height="50" /></div> +<p> had no trouble posing as a +historian entitled to the facts. +The gas didn't work on me, you +see, because it was adjusted to the +physiology of that timeline. +There was just enough difference +between us for it not to make me +stick to the truth.</p> + +<p>"We'll write out the formula +for you," I was told obligingly. +"But you'll have to sign the +usual statement."</p> + +<p>"Of course," I said. "Which one +is that?"</p> + +<p>"The one that says you won't +publish it, and will destroy your +copy when it has served your +research purpose, without letting +anyone else see it."</p> + +<p>"Oh, <i>that</i> statement," I said.</p> + +<p>I signed freely, told my elephant +story and departed in an +aura of good will.</p> + +<p>The jet got me back that same +evening. Julie fixed me up a +snack, and we discussed how +pretty she was and how nice I +was.</p> + +<p>I had everything Krasnow +wanted now. I felt pretty good +about it, because there was nobody +else who could have done +the job for him, and because it +wasn't spying, really. Earth One +Point One on the Timeline is +world enough for Krasnow, I'm +sure. Besides, dimensions don't +have wars with one another. Too +many things can go wrong.</p> + +<p>Julie was lovely and I hated to +leave the next morning, but it +was my job. I told her, "I'm +afraid I have to leave town for a +bit, dear, but I'll be back very +soon. Business, you know."</p> + +<p>Being a Seventeen Point Zero +Eight girl, Julie had no reason +to doubt me. "Make it <i>very</i> soon," +she whispered, her lips close to +my ear.</p> + +<p>So I came back, and now Krasnow +has what he wants. He's delighted, +as he should be. I've +made up the gas for him and adjusted +the formula so that it will +work on people of our timeline. +It's high-power stuff and a little +will go a long way. I also made +up an antidote for him. This was +easy, since I could work on it +without feeling any compulsion +to tell everybody what I was +doing and why.</p> + +<p>Krasnow plans to release the +truth gas just before the state +convention. He'll be nominated, +of course, and after November +he'll be Governor. With everyone +else compelled to tell the truth, +it should be a cinch for him. He's +a patient man, Honest John +Krasnow is, and he's willing to +wait four years for the Presidency.</p> + +<p>I ought to be happy too. With +the money Krasnow gave me, +I've been living in the style to +which I've always wanted to be +accustomed. He has offered me a +place on his staff and, somewhat +superfluously, the use of his antidote. +Naturally, the reason he +was so magnanimous was that he +doesn't want anyone else around +who knows his gimmick and +might have to tell the truth about +it.</p> + +<p>But I have had enough of this +dimension now—now that Krasnow +has what I promised him. +He's going to use it tomorrow. +And if I know Honest John—and +I do—not even the Presidency will +be big enough for him.</p> + +<p>So I'm going back to Julie.</p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<div class="figleft"><img src="images/t7.png" alt="T" width="42" height="50" /></div> +<p>here are some obvious questions +in your mind, I know, +such as: Why did I get the formula +for Krasnow, knowing there +was no way for him to prosecute +me while I was in Julie's dimension? +And what made me come +back?</p> + +<p>In short—what was in it for +me?</p> + +<p>Let's call it research. Krasnow +is a big-time operator; I've always +been, you might say, in the +peanut end of the game. He had +a great deal to teach me and I, +I'm happy to say, was an apt +pupil. You might speculate on +what's in it for you, because, if +you ask me, anybody who can +do the side-shuffle should do it +before Krasnow becomes President.</p> + +<p>However, don't go to Seventeen +Point Zero Eight unless you want +to swap one Krasnow for another. +The fact is that I've learned I +can be one in Julie's dimension. +After all, their formula doesn't +work on me—but I can assure +you that it will work on you.</p> + +<p>And that elephant story I told +on my last visit is, as I've indicated, +in the peanut category. +All Krasnow has is a country. +I'll have a whole world.</p> + +<p>There's nothing like study under +a master, is there?</p> + +<p>I should be back to Julie by +midnight if I start now.</p> + +<p> +<b>—RICHARD WILSON</b><br /> +</p> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Back to Julie, by Richard Wilson + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK BACK TO JULIE *** + +***** This file should be named 32619-h.htm or 32619-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/2/6/1/32619/ + +Produced by Greg Weeks and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

It's the choice between making time +... and doing time!_ + + + + +You can't go shooting off to _that_ dimension for peanuts. I don't +want to give you the impression that peanuts are in short supply here, +or that our economy is in the fix of having to import them sidewise. +What I'm trying to convey is that, if you're one of the rare ones +functionally equipped to do the side-shuffle, you ought to be well +paid for it--in any coin. + +That's what I told Krasnow. And he wasn't after peanuts. "I'll do it," +I said, "if you'll make it worth my while." + +"I'd hardly expect you to do it for nothing," he replied +reproachfully. "How much do you want?" + +I told him. The amount shook him up, but only briefly. + +"Okay," he said grudgingly. "I suppose I'll have to give it to you. +But the stuff had better be good." + +"Oh, it is," I assured him. "And you don't have to be afraid, because +I couldn't possibly skip with the loot. I'll have to travel naked. I +can't get there with so much as a sandal on one foot or a filling in a +single tooth. Fortunately, my teeth are perfect." + +Sweat poured off Krasnow's florid face as he worked the combination of +his office safe. His fat jowls quivered unhappily around his cigar +while he counted out the bills. Ten per cent was cash in advance, and +the rest went into a bank account in my name. I paid off a batch of +bills, then stripped and did my off-to-Buffalo. + + * * * * * + +"Honest" John Krasnow was a crooked District Attorney who wanted to be +Governor and then President. He had the Machine, but he didn't have +the People. And, because he needed the People, he needed me. I had +been to this other dimension--the one on the farthest branch of the +time-tree--and I could give him what he wanted. + +Krasnow found out about it after I was hauled up in front of him on a +check-kiting charge. I'd had something of a reputation before I got +into difficulties and, in trying to live up to the reputation, I had +done some plain and fancy financing. Nothing that fifteen to twenty +grand wouldn't have fixed--but while I scrounged around, trying to get +cash, I kited a few checks. They pyramided me right into the D.A.'s +office, where Krasnow was properly sympathetic. + +"How," he asked, "could a man of your standing in the scientific world +stoop so low?" It developed into quite a lecture and, even coming from +Krasnow, it made me feel pretty low. + +So I began explaining. I told him where I was born, and where I went +to school, and where I had taken my sabbaticals--including this other +dimension. And Krasnow believed me. I can't account for it, except +possibly because he knew he was a crook and knew I wasn't +one--exactly. Anyway, he believed me, and we made the deal and I did +the side-shuffle, as agreed. + +The journey to that other dimension is not a pleasant one. It does +disturbing things to the stomach, and you see everything thin and +elongated, as if you're sitting too far to the side in a movie +theater. + +I got there, however, and waited for the hiccups to subside. _Hiccupi +laterali_, I had called them when I considered writing an article for +the _Medical Journal_ after my first trip. With the hiccupi gone, I +stole some clothing--which was one of the riskiest parts of the +program--and waited for morning. I didn't have any money, of course, +so I had to hitchhike into town. + +I could have stolen myself a better fit, but people aren't +clothes-conscious in that dimension. They're more interested in what +you are and what you can do. The driver of the car that gave me a lift +asked, "And what is your field of endeavor?" + +I told him, "I am able to eliminate the long wait in ivory production +by accelerating the growth cycle of elephants." + +He was deeply impressed and tipped me handsomely. I was less impressed +with his talent for growing cobless corn, and therefore had to return +only a small part of the sum he gave me. + +The world of this dimension had developed some remarkable parallels to +Earth. I mean our Earth, which falls into what I have designated +Timeline One Point One, since it's the Earth with which I am most +familiar. Every other world that has a language calls itself Earth, +too. I had to visit briefly hundreds of the lateral worlds, hovering +over primordial swamps, limitless oceans, insect kingdoms and +radioactive planetoids, before I found the one that was truly +parallel. + +It existed in Timeline Seventeen Point Zero Eight, and it had +refrigerators, platinum blondes, automobiles, airplanes, apple pie, +tabloids, television, scotch and soda--just about everything we think +makes life worthwhile. But it had its little differences, which was +only to be expected in a timeline where the bionomics could create a +new world each time someone changed his mind. + +Thus, the cobless-corn man was driving what looked to me like a +Chevrolet, but which was a Morton in his world. He let me off near a +downtown restaurant where, thanks to our little exchange of talent +talk, I had enough money for breakfast. It was considered unethical to +swap talent talk outside the limits of certain rigidly defined groups, +so I didn't try to out-impress the waitress. + + * * * * * + +Fed, and filling my stolen clothes a bit better, I walked to the +recorder's office and spent the rest of the morning looking up old +documents. There was nothing there for Krasnow, as I had expected. But +for me there was a very pretty file clerk. Talking to her, I verified +my impression that human instincts and relationships were much the +same in this dimension as in my own--except in the one basic respect +that interested Krasnow, of course. + +The file clerk and I lunched together and then I spent the afternoon +in the library. But I didn't find anything there, either, and then I +had dinner with her. She said her name was Julie. I told her mine was +Heck, for Hector, which it is. She thought this was "awfully cute" and +we got along fine. + +[Illustration] + +Julie had a delightful apartment and a matching sense of hospitality. +The following day, when she went to work, I stayed home and washed the +dishes and made the bed and used the telephone. + +I ran up quite a bill with my long-distance calls, but I found out +what I needed to know. I impressed a lot of people with my elephant +story and pretended to be impressed hardly at all with what they told +me they did--although often I was, very much. + +The trouble with these people is that they no longer know how to lie, +if that can be listed as trouble. I don't think it can. Neither did +Krasnow, obviously. He'd never have sent me off on my expensive +side-trip if he had. + +Of course, Krasnow looked at it objectively. What he wanted from +Timeline Seventeen Point Zero Eight was not for himself. It was for +everybody else. He wanted the formula for the truth gas these people +had developed long ago and loosed upon their world to put a stop to +wars. + +They had been in a bad way, although no worse than the sort of problem +we were up against. Their trans-ocean squabbles and power politics +seemed to have settled into a pattern of a war or two per generation. +Just like us. Hence, the man who invented the truth gas became a +global hero, after a certain amount of cynicism and skepticism. All +the doubts vanished, naturally, once the gas got to working. And so +did war. + +[Illustration] + +You can't do much plotting and scheming if, every time you open your +mouth to tell a lie, you stammer, sweat, turn red and gasp for breath. +It's a dead giveaway. Nobody tries it more than once. + +One or two men had tried to nullify the gas or work out a local +antidote, either as a pure research project or through power-madness. +But, because they had had to state their purposes as soon as they +thought of them, they were put away. Neat. Very neat. + +What I wanted was the formula for the truth gas. Its location wasn't +exactly a secret in this land of complete candor, but it wasn't writ +large on any wall for all to see, either. They kept it in their +capital--located about where our Omaha is--on file among the Vital +Statistics. + +I took a superjet out there. + + * * * * * + +I had no trouble posing as a historian entitled to the facts. The gas +didn't work on me, you see, because it was adjusted to the physiology +of that timeline. There was just enough difference between us for it +not to make me stick to the truth. + +"We'll write out the formula for you," I was told obligingly. "But +you'll have to sign the usual statement." + +"Of course," I said. "Which one is that?" + +"The one that says you won't publish it, and will destroy your copy +when it has served your research purpose, without letting anyone else +see it." + +"Oh, _that_ statement," I said. + +I signed freely, told my elephant story and departed in an aura of +good will. + +The jet got me back that same evening. Julie fixed me up a snack, and +we discussed how pretty she was and how nice I was. + +I had everything Krasnow wanted now. I felt pretty good about it, +because there was nobody else who could have done the job for him, and +because it wasn't spying, really. Earth One Point One on the Timeline +is world enough for Krasnow, I'm sure. Besides, dimensions don't have +wars with one another. Too many things can go wrong. + +Julie was lovely and I hated to leave the next morning, but it was my +job. I told her, "I'm afraid I have to leave town for a bit, dear, but +I'll be back very soon. Business, you know." + +Being a Seventeen Point Zero Eight girl, Julie had no reason to doubt +me. "Make it _very_ soon," she whispered, her lips close to my ear. + +So I came back, and now Krasnow has what he wants. He's delighted, as +he should be. I've made up the gas for him and adjusted the formula so +that it will work on people of our timeline. It's high-power stuff and +a little will go a long way. I also made up an antidote for him. This +was easy, since I could work on it without feeling any compulsion to +tell everybody what I was doing and why. + +Krasnow plans to release the truth gas just before the state +convention. He'll be nominated, of course, and after November he'll +be Governor. With everyone else compelled to tell the truth, it should +be a cinch for him. He's a patient man, Honest John Krasnow is, and +he's willing to wait four years for the Presidency. + +I ought to be happy too. With the money Krasnow gave me, I've been +living in the style to which I've always wanted to be accustomed. He +has offered me a place on his staff and, somewhat superfluously, the +use of his antidote. Naturally, the reason he was so magnanimous was +that he doesn't want anyone else around who knows his gimmick and +might have to tell the truth about it. + +But I have had enough of this dimension now--now that Krasnow has what +I promised him. He's going to use it tomorrow. And if I know Honest +John--and I do--not even the Presidency will be big enough for him. + +So I'm going back to Julie. + + * * * * * + +There are some obvious questions in your mind, I know, such as: Why +did I get the formula for Krasnow, knowing there was no way for him to +prosecute me while I was in Julie's dimension? And what made me come +back? + +In short--what was in it for me? + +Let's call it research. Krasnow is a big-time operator; I've always +been, you might say, in the peanut end of the game. He had a great +deal to teach me and I, I'm happy to say, was an apt pupil. You might +speculate on what's in it for you, because, if you ask me, anybody who +can do the side-shuffle should do it before Krasnow becomes President. + +However, don't go to Seventeen Point Zero Eight unless you want to +swap one Krasnow for another. The fact is that I've learned I can be +one in Julie's dimension. After all, their formula doesn't work on +me--but I can assure you that it will work on you. + +And that elephant story I told on my last visit is, as I've indicated, +in the peanut category. All Krasnow has is a country. I'll have a +whole world. + +There's nothing like study under a master, is there? + +I should be back to Julie by midnight if I start now. + +--RICHARD WILSON + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Back to Julie, by Richard Wilson + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK BACK TO JULIE *** + +***** This file should be named 32619.txt or 32619.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/2/6/1/32619/ + +Produced by Greg Weeks and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
