Bertram J. Bernard, the firm's stocky, thick-jawed president, -waited discreetly at his desk for a few minutes, then closed the file -he had been studying, bid his secretary a pleasant evening, and strode -calmly out of the office.</p> - -<p>He did not want to appear eager, and succeeded superbly in that. -Joining several junior executives, he conversed genially with them -as they descended to the rapid-transit floor. Three of the bright, -confident young men decided to stop for a quick one at the building's -plush saloon. Well, that was okay—Bernard had been a late-runner in -his youth. But now, well into middle age, he had learned that life had -other demands and pleasures.</p> - -<p>"Have a good run, B. B.," said Watkins, the treasurer, at the rap-tran -gate. "Gloria's coming in on the three-thirty and we're going to dinner -and then some musical or other she's been dying to see."</p> - -<p>So Bernard entered the rap-tran alone, though surrounded by scores of -pushing, jabbering strangers. Finding a seat on the aisle, next to a -electronics company vice-president whom he knew slightly, he engaged -in trade conversation during the five minutes it took the monorail to -reach his stop. He and the electronics executive got off, as did about -half of the rap-trans passengers, mostly middle-aged men like himself. -Early-runners.</p> - -<p>The escalator from the monorail stop descended directly into the -Jungle Station beneath. In the large lobby the crowd dispersed and -Bernard was again alone when he reached the dressing rooms. This was -not surprising, he reflected; not many members of his Jungle Station -could afford the elaborate private locker unique to this wing of the -building. He pressed his thumbprint to the lock and the door slid back.</p> - -<p>Inside, he undressed completely, noting with critical satisfaction the -strength and color of his body in the full-length mirror at one end of -the locker. He quickly packed his clothes, shoes, and briefcase into a -small suitcase, with delivery instructions on the top. Then he climbed -into his jungle suit—knee-length shorts, sweat shirt, rubber-soled -shoes, and hip holster.</p> - -<p>He checked the frequency setting on the sonic pistol, adjusting it to -the panthers who were reported in ascendancy. As a last thought, merely -a whim, he glanced down at the station emblem on his sweat shirt, just -to enjoy the sense of pride he derived from the large red "U-F" above -it.</p> - -<p>Of course there were getting to be more and more ulcer-frees these -days, but that did not make it any less a matter for pride. And anyway -several factions were pressing determinedly for a neurosis-free -insignia. Though there were complications there. Oh, well, the -important thing's the run, he remembered.</p> - -<p>In the lobby again he deposited his suitcase at the delivery window. -Then he stopped at the bulletin board to read the ascendancy ratings -for the day. These were official, therefore several days outdated, but -one could extrapolate. Panthers were dropping into third position, -behind polar bears, with giraffes at the top by a good margin.</p> - -<p>Outside the building he ran into a tipster and decided he had best buy -a dope sheet. He gave the seedy little man a dollar bill and looked -over the page.</p> - -<p>"Keep it right where you got it, Mac," the man whispered hoarsely, -nodding toward the pistol at Bernard's side. "I got it straight, dem -pant'ers is all over de place. Watch out at de water hole, specially."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Glancing swiftly over the page, Bernard saw that fifty panthers had -entered this sector of the jungle overnight, with a herd of fifteen -giraffes headed well toward the south. But he also noted that there -had been three deaths from polar bears in the past week in his sector -alone. Fortunately, the frequency readjustment from panthers to polar -bears was an easy one, three clicks clockwise with the thumb. He would -have to remember about the water hole, though it was either that or -going above the rapids. The sharks below the rapids were pretty thick -during the summer.</p> - -<p>"Thanks, bud," he told the tipster. Then he strode, still calm, to -the wall. Expertly he clambered up its handholds, till he reached the -top, thirty feet from the ground. On the other side lay the jungle, -its lush tropical growth hiding from his alert eyes the danger that -lurked within. He popped a Verve pill into his mouth and chewed on it -thoughtfully.</p> - -<p>Far in the distance, some five miles at the narrowest point, rose the -outer wall. Between the two prowled a variety of ambivalent robot -beasts, now ready to dismember him, but on weekends adjusted to -take small boys and girls for short rides or simply to stalk about -picturesquely.</p> - -<p>Drawing his pistol and placing it between his teeth, Bernard leaped to -the ground between the wall and a large low palm. At once the pistol -was again in his hand. But nothing moved. Now he could see clearly the -path he must take.</p> - -<p>Bending low, he trotted along through the undergrowth. It soon began -to clear, and still no danger in sight. He holstered the pistol and -advanced, half-walking, half-running, till he could hear the hiss of -the rapids. Enough noise to mask the sounds of a dozen panthers, he -thought. But it covered his own footsteps, too, and panthers were more -phonotropic than polar bears, the latter having a preference for radar -spotting.</p> - -<p>Coyotes were the worst, of course, with their damned infrared -thermo-sensors. They could spot a runner even when he was in cover. -Fortunately they were scarce and getting more so. Bernard had only -encountered a coyote twice, deactivating it both times. But he had been -lucky. He recalled the story about that city councilman....</p> - -<p>An hour later he arrived at the river, a half-mile above the rapids -and well away from the water hole. He had seen only one beast in the -first three miles of his trek, a giraffe hobbling along in olfactory -pursuit of another runner far to the right. Giraffes were mainly a -nuisance, though they could kick and trample a man. Bernard had heard -of such a thing happening, but it was a rarity. They were too easy to -elude.</p> - -<p>He crossed the river on a log raft he found, which had evidently been -rigged to dump him in about halfway across. At least he had got that -far on it he told himself, as he struck out for the shore. For one -horrible moment he thought he detected a shark upstream, but it was -merely the shadow of a large palm leaf. He had a strong and sensible -fear of sharks.</p> - -<p>A mile farther found him crawling over the rocky ground as the growls -of panthers reached his acute ears from behind a ridge of brush. If -they heard him, they ignored him, perhaps more interested in other -quarry. His knees and arms were scraped but not bleeding, and at last -he was able to get to his feet to make better time.</p> - -<p>It was then that he heard the girl's scream.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>No regulation in the rule book discriminated against women becoming -runners, but only a few of the millions who worked at offices and -plants in the city did so. Also there was nothing in the code about -helping other runners. Each was entirely on his own, free to help or -be helped, or not helped, if he chose.</p> - -<p>Bernard would never have called for help for himself. But the sound of -the woman's cry appealed to another side of his nature. He changed his -direction, but moved with great caution now. Soon he saw her, and froze.</p> - -<p>She was clad as he, different sector emblem, but the same proudly borne -"U-F" on her sweater. Her face and body were young and attractive, but -her long dark hair was tangled and wet, and her limbs mud-spattered. -She had screamed only once, and now her small lipsticked mouth hung -open with terror.</p> - -<p>Backed against a tree, she gaped in horror, waiting, as three panthers -approached from as many directions. Her sonic lay on the ground outside -the circle. It was obvious that she was finished if Bernard did not -assist her.</p> - -<p>Raising his hand till the pistol sight was where he wanted it, he -modified the angle adjustment till all of the animals were within -its range. Then he depressed the trigger several times. Two fell and -the third animal leaped at the girl. But she twisted around the tree -and Bernard picked off the panther as it readied itself for a second -spring. At once the girl dived for her pistol. Proper response, Bernard -thought approvingly. Then she ran toward him and threw herself against -him, breathing deeply in that position for several moments.</p> - -<p>Bernard felt strongly the strength and zest of youth as he held the -girl in his arms. Then they turned and walked together to the outer -wall, which was less than half a mile away. There was no danger from -the deactivated panthers, which would remain out of commission for half -an hour. So they had no reason to hurry.</p> - -<p>Bernard helped her climb the wall, though she seemed quite adept at it -herself. On the other side they emerged upon the street. Across the -street lay the acres and acres of homes which were the city's eastern -suburbia.</p> - -<p>"Oh, it was just horrible!" the girl finally cried. "All at once they -sprang. From nowhere. I tripped and my sonic fell out of the holster. -I'd be <i>dead</i> if it weren't for you!"</p> - -<p>"Very true," Bernard agreed. "You'll be more careful in the future, I -hope."</p> - -<p>"If only I could thank you in some way. I owe you so much. My apartment -is just up the next street. Only a few blocks. Wouldn't you like to -stop in for a drink? I'm sure you're as tired as I."</p> - -<p>But Bernard declined. He walked her home, then continued on, unaware of -the envious glances of young children as he passed. Unaware of other -runners, early-runners, middle-aged men like himself, also walking the -streets, wearily but not stooping, not frowning.</p> - -<p>How good a warm shower would be, thought Bernard, as he entered the -last mile. His wife would probably want a drink, so there would be that -too. And dinner. He was <i>hungry</i>.</p> - -<p>Ulcer-free and happy, he walked the last mile in contentment. The -office was something that had happened long ago, would happen again -tomorrow, but could never invade his thoughts that night. And he knew -exactly how his wife would greet him at the door.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>"Hello, darling. How was the run?" she asked, kissing him as he came -into the house. "You only made fair time this evening. Something -happen?"</p> - -<p>"No, pretty routine. Panthers are on the increase. I came across -three of them attacking a girl runner. Works as a copy writer in the -city. She claims that the jungle cured her ulcers completely. Really -remarkable."</p> - -<p>"Mmm-hmm," said Virginia, taking his holster. "Attractive, no doubt. I -suppose she tried to seduce you. I've heard stories about those jungle -women."</p> - -<p>"Nothing of the sort. Just suggested I drop in for a drink. After all, -she was grateful."</p> - -<p>What nonsense, he told himself as he showered, Virginia suggesting that -the girl had intended to seduce him. Oh, well, what difference did it -make?</p> - -<p>Man, that hot water felt good! Even on his scratched legs and arms.</p> - -<p>How many years had he been making the run now? Twenty-three, almost. In -a way he could consider himself a sort of a pioneer. And to think that -the only reason he had started jungle running in the first place was to -please a supervisor! Those days everyone did it.</p> - -<p>As he dried himself off, hearing the tinkle of cocktails in the living -room, he wondered if the panthers would move south, away from the water -hole, before tomorrow's run.</p> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of When Day is Done, by Arnold Castle - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK WHEN DAY IS DONE *** - -***** This file should be named 60849-h.htm or 60849-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/0/8/4/60849/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan 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 print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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.

Bertram J. Bernard, the firm's stocky, thick-jawed president, -waited discreetly at his desk for a few minutes, then closed the file -he had been studying, bid his secretary a pleasant evening, and strode -calmly out of the office. - -He did not want to appear eager, and succeeded superbly in that. -Joining several junior executives, he conversed genially with them -as they descended to the rapid-transit floor. Three of the bright, -confident young men decided to stop for a quick one at the building's -plush saloon. Well, that was okay--Bernard had been a late-runner in -his youth. But now, well into middle age, he had learned that life had -other demands and pleasures. - -"Have a good run, B. B.," said Watkins, the treasurer, at the rap-tran -gate. "Gloria's coming in on the three-thirty and we're going to dinner -and then some musical or other she's been dying to see." - -So Bernard entered the rap-tran alone, though surrounded by scores of -pushing, jabbering strangers. Finding a seat on the aisle, next to a -electronics company vice-president whom he knew slightly, he engaged -in trade conversation during the five minutes it took the monorail to -reach his stop. He and the electronics executive got off, as did about -half of the rap-trans passengers, mostly middle-aged men like himself. -Early-runners. - -The escalator from the monorail stop descended directly into the -Jungle Station beneath. In the large lobby the crowd dispersed and -Bernard was again alone when he reached the dressing rooms. This was -not surprising, he reflected; not many members of his Jungle Station -could afford the elaborate private locker unique to this wing of the -building. He pressed his thumbprint to the lock and the door slid back. - -Inside, he undressed completely, noting with critical satisfaction the -strength and color of his body in the full-length mirror at one end of -the locker. He quickly packed his clothes, shoes, and briefcase into a -small suitcase, with delivery instructions on the top. Then he climbed -into his jungle suit--knee-length shorts, sweat shirt, rubber-soled -shoes, and hip holster. - -He checked the frequency setting on the sonic pistol, adjusting it to -the panthers who were reported in ascendancy. As a last thought, merely -a whim, he glanced down at the station emblem on his sweat shirt, just -to enjoy the sense of pride he derived from the large red "U-F" above -it. - -Of course there were getting to be more and more ulcer-frees these -days, but that did not make it any less a matter for pride. And anyway -several factions were pressing determinedly for a neurosis-free -insignia. Though there were complications there. Oh, well, the -important thing's the run, he remembered. - -In the lobby again he deposited his suitcase at the delivery window. -Then he stopped at the bulletin board to read the ascendancy ratings -for the day. These were official, therefore several days outdated, but -one could extrapolate. Panthers were dropping into third position, -behind polar bears, with giraffes at the top by a good margin. - -Outside the building he ran into a tipster and decided he had best buy -a dope sheet. He gave the seedy little man a dollar bill and looked -over the page. - -"Keep it right where you got it, Mac," the man whispered hoarsely, -nodding toward the pistol at Bernard's side. "I got it straight, dem -pant'ers is all over de place. Watch out at de water hole, specially." - - * * * * * - -Glancing swiftly over the page, Bernard saw that fifty panthers had -entered this sector of the jungle overnight, with a herd of fifteen -giraffes headed well toward the south. But he also noted that there -had been three deaths from polar bears in the past week in his sector -alone. Fortunately, the frequency readjustment from panthers to polar -bears was an easy one, three clicks clockwise with the thumb. He would -have to remember about the water hole, though it was either that or -going above the rapids. The sharks below the rapids were pretty thick -during the summer. - -"Thanks, bud," he told the tipster. Then he strode, still calm, to -the wall. Expertly he clambered up its handholds, till he reached the -top, thirty feet from the ground. On the other side lay the jungle, -its lush tropical growth hiding from his alert eyes the danger that -lurked within. He popped a Verve pill into his mouth and chewed on it -thoughtfully. - -Far in the distance, some five miles at the narrowest point, rose the -outer wall. Between the two prowled a variety of ambivalent robot -beasts, now ready to dismember him, but on weekends adjusted to -take small boys and girls for short rides or simply to stalk about -picturesquely. - -Drawing his pistol and placing it between his teeth, Bernard leaped to -the ground between the wall and a large low palm. At once the pistol -was again in his hand. But nothing moved. Now he could see clearly the -path he must take. - -Bending low, he trotted along through the undergrowth. It soon began -to clear, and still no danger in sight. He holstered the pistol and -advanced, half-walking, half-running, till he could hear the hiss of -the rapids. Enough noise to mask the sounds of a dozen panthers, he -thought. But it covered his own footsteps, too, and panthers were more -phonotropic than polar bears, the latter having a preference for radar -spotting. - -Coyotes were the worst, of course, with their damned infrared -thermo-sensors. They could spot a runner even when he was in cover. -Fortunately they were scarce and getting more so. Bernard had only -encountered a coyote twice, deactivating it both times. But he had been -lucky. He recalled the story about that city councilman.... - -An hour later he arrived at the river, a half-mile above the rapids -and well away from the water hole. He had seen only one beast in the -first three miles of his trek, a giraffe hobbling along in olfactory -pursuit of another runner far to the right. Giraffes were mainly a -nuisance, though they could kick and trample a man. Bernard had heard -of such a thing happening, but it was a rarity. They were too easy to -elude. - -He crossed the river on a log raft he found, which had evidently been -rigged to dump him in about halfway across. At least he had got that -far on it he told himself, as he struck out for the shore. For one -horrible moment he thought he detected a shark upstream, but it was -merely the shadow of a large palm leaf. He had a strong and sensible -fear of sharks. - -A mile farther found him crawling over the rocky ground as the growls -of panthers reached his acute ears from behind a ridge of brush. If -they heard him, they ignored him, perhaps more interested in other -quarry. His knees and arms were scraped but not bleeding, and at last -he was able to get to his feet to make better time. - -It was then that he heard the girl's scream. - - * * * * * - -No regulation in the rule book discriminated against women becoming -runners, but only a few of the millions who worked at offices and -plants in the city did so. Also there was nothing in the code about -helping other runners. Each was entirely on his own, free to help or -be helped, or not helped, if he chose. - -Bernard would never have called for help for himself. But the sound of -the woman's cry appealed to another side of his nature. He changed his -direction, but moved with great caution now. Soon he saw her, and froze. - -She was clad as he, different sector emblem, but the same proudly borne -"U-F" on her sweater. Her face and body were young and attractive, but -her long dark hair was tangled and wet, and her limbs mud-spattered. -She had screamed only once, and now her small lipsticked mouth hung -open with terror. - -Backed against a tree, she gaped in horror, waiting, as three panthers -approached from as many directions. Her sonic lay on the ground outside -the circle. It was obvious that she was finished if Bernard did not -assist her. - -Raising his hand till the pistol sight was where he wanted it, he -modified the angle adjustment till all of the animals were within -its range. Then he depressed the trigger several times. Two fell and -the third animal leaped at the girl. But she twisted around the tree -and Bernard picked off the panther as it readied itself for a second -spring. At once the girl dived for her pistol. Proper response, Bernard -thought approvingly. Then she ran toward him and threw herself against -him, breathing deeply in that position for several moments. - -Bernard felt strongly the strength and zest of youth as he held the -girl in his arms. Then they turned and walked together to the outer -wall, which was less than half a mile away. There was no danger from -the deactivated panthers, which would remain out of commission for half -an hour. So they had no reason to hurry. - -Bernard helped her climb the wall, though she seemed quite adept at it -herself. On the other side they emerged upon the street. Across the -street lay the acres and acres of homes which were the city's eastern -suburbia. - -"Oh, it was just horrible!" the girl finally cried. "All at once they -sprang. From nowhere. I tripped and my sonic fell out of the holster. -I'd be _dead_ if it weren't for you!" - -"Very true," Bernard agreed. "You'll be more careful in the future, I -hope." - -"If only I could thank you in some way. I owe you so much. My apartment -is just up the next street. Only a few blocks. Wouldn't you like to -stop in for a drink? I'm sure you're as tired as I." - -But Bernard declined. He walked her home, then continued on, unaware of -the envious glances of young children as he passed. Unaware of other -runners, early-runners, middle-aged men like himself, also walking the -streets, wearily but not stooping, not frowning. - -How good a warm shower would be, thought Bernard, as he entered the -last mile. His wife would probably want a drink, so there would be that -too. And dinner. He was _hungry_. - -Ulcer-free and happy, he walked the last mile in contentment. The -office was something that had happened long ago, would happen again -tomorrow, but could never invade his thoughts that night. And he knew -exactly how his wife would greet him at the door. - - * * * * * - -"Hello, darling. How was the run?" she asked, kissing him as he came -into the house. "You only made fair time this evening. Something -happen?" - -"No, pretty routine. Panthers are on the increase. I came across -three of them attacking a girl runner. Works as a copy writer in the -city. She claims that the jungle cured her ulcers completely. Really -remarkable." - -"Mmm-hmm," said Virginia, taking his holster. "Attractive, no doubt. I -suppose she tried to seduce you. I've heard stories about those jungle -women." - -"Nothing of the sort. Just suggested I drop in for a drink. After all, -she was grateful." - -What nonsense, he told himself as he showered, Virginia suggesting that -the girl had intended to seduce him. Oh, well, what difference did it -make? - -Man, that hot water felt good! Even on his scratched legs and arms. - -How many years had he been making the run now? Twenty-three, almost. In -a way he could consider himself a sort of a pioneer. And to think that -the only reason he had started jungle running in the first place was to -please a supervisor! Those days everyone did it. - -As he dried himself off, hearing the tinkle of cocktails in the living -room, he wondered if the panthers would move south, away from the water -hole, before tomorrow's run. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of When Day is Done, by Arnold Castle - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK WHEN DAY IS DONE *** - -***** This file should be named 60849.txt or 60849.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/0/8/4/60849/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan 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 print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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.
