They came off second best, and we haven't spoken to them since. But I think we can make valuable allies there." For all Morey's jocular manner, he realized the terrible import of this announcement. A race which had been able to cross the vast gulf of intergalactic space in the days when Terrestrians were still developing the airplane and already they had mapped Jupiter, and planned their colonies!
When I pressed the matter upon Morey's attention he said it would do no good till I had served out half my sentence, and then he would see what could be done. I served half my sentence, and then the other half, every day of it. But during the last two years I had very little to complain of except the loss of my liberty.
A few minutes later the soph returned and said: "I don't think he knows much about him, myself, but he says he's down at Billy's now or was an hour ago. We might get a chance to Lambda Chi him a little." Browning seemed to arouse himself. "That's right," he agreed. "We'll go down to Billy's." The party filed out of Morey's and Browning took the lead.
Morey could read the utter despair of the man. "What is the difficulty?" asked Morey eagerly. "Power, lack of power. Our cities are going without power, while every electric generator on the planet is pouring its output into the accumulators that work these damnable, hopeless things. Invincible with power helpless without." "Ah!" Morey's face shone with delight invincible weapon with power.
Don't use the rays, because we'll be invisible, and you might hit us." Suddenly the room rocked under an explosion, and the debris Morey's ray had torn down over the door was blasted away. A score of men leaped through the gap before the dust had settled. Morey beamed them down mercilessly before they could fire their weapons. "In the air, quick!" Arcot yelled.
It jarred suddenly then was quiet. He allowed ten minutes to pass, then he cut off the drive and allowed the ship to go into free fall. Morey's voice came over the intercom. "Arcot, things are really busted up down here! We had to haywire half the drive together." "I'll be right down. Every instrument on the ship seems to be out of kilter!"
Ditson looked around as if his last statement had settled the question of Browning's vast superiority over all sophomores. Morey's was the favorite resort of the students, and no freshman could enter there. It was an old frame house, with low-posted rooms, and there one could drink everything except beer. No beer could be had at Morey's. Morey's was headquarters for the Society of the Cup.
Morey's mind was more methodical and exact than Arcot's, but Arcot could grasp the broad details of a problem and get the general method of solution developed with a speed that made it utterly impossible for his friend even to follow the steps he suggested.
We built an enclosed coil, using Morey's principle, and expected to store a few watts of power in it to see how long we could hold it. "Unfortunately, we made the mistake of connecting it to the city power lines, and it cost us a hundred and fifty dollars at a quarter of a cent per kilowatt hour. We blew fuses all over the place. After that, we used the relux plate generator.
Merriwell continued to assert that Diamond had sand, and Diamond was ready to back his judgment in saying that Merriwell was a match for any man in Yale. Morey's was a sophomore resort. Juniors and seniors patronized the place, but a freshman was not allowed there unless invited to accompany some of the regular frequenters of the place. Ditson was ambitious.
