But
there
had
been
a
little
more
to
it
than
that
,
Douglas
had
allowed
Jubal
to
see
a
top
-
level
super
secret
eyes
-
only
numbered
-
one
-
of
-
three
report
after
cautioning
Jubal
that
no
one
,
not
even
the
Supreme
Chief
of
staff
,
knew
that
"
Private
Jones
"
was
the
Man
from
Mars
.
Jubal
had
merely
scanned
the
exhibits
,
which
had
been
mostly
highly
conflicting
reports
of
eye
witnesses
as
to
what
had
happened
at
various
times
when
"
Jones
"
had
been
"
trained
"
in
the
uses
of
various
weapons
;
the
only
surprising
thing
to
Jubal
about
them
was
that
some
witnesses
had
the
courage
and
self
-
confidence
to
state
under
oath
that
they
had
seen
weapons
disappear
.
"
Jones
"
had
also
been
placed
on
the
report
three
times
for
losing
weapons
,
same
being
accountable
property
of
the
Federation
.
The
end
of
the
report
was
all
that
Jubal
had
bothered
to
read
carefully
enough
to
remember
:
"
Conclusion
:
Subject
man
is
an
extremely
talented
natural
hypnotist
and
,
as
such
,
could
conceivably
be
useful
in
intelligence
work
,
although
he
is
totally
unfitted
for
any
combat
branch
.
However
,
his
low
intelligence
quotient
(
moron
)
,
his
extremely
low
general
classification
score
,
and
his
paranoid
tendencies
(
delusions
of
grandeur
)
make
it
inadvisable
to
attempt
to
exploit
his
idiot
-
savant
talent
.
Recommendation
:
Discharge
,
Inaptitude
–
no
pension
credit
,
no
benefits
.
"
Such
little
romps
were
good
for
the
boy
and
Jubal
had
greatly
enjoyed
Mike
’
s
inglorious
career
as
a
soldier
because
Jill
had
spent
the
time
at
home
.
When
Mike
had
come
home
for
a
few
days
after
it
was
over
,
he
hadn
’
t
seemed
hurt
by
it
–
he
had
boasted
to
Jubal
that
he
had
obeyed
Jill
’
s
wishes
exactly
and
hadn
’
t
disappeared
anybody
merely
a
few
dead
things
?
although
,
as
Mike
grokked
it
,
there
had
been
several
times
when
Earth
could
have
been
made
a
better
place
if
Jill
didn
’
t
have
this
queasy
weakness
.
Jubal
didn
’
t
argue
it
;
he
had
a
lengthy
–
though
inactive
,
"
Better
Dead
"
list
himself
.
But
apparently
Mike
had
managed
to
have
fun
,
too
.
During
parade
on
his
last
day
as
a
soldier
,
the
commanding
General
and
his
entire
staff
had
suddenly
lost
their
trousers
as
Mike
’
s
platoon
was
passing
in
review
–
and
the
top
sergeant
of
Mike
’
s
company
fell
flat
on
his
face
when
his
shoes
momentarily
froze
to
the
ground
.
Jubal
decided
that
,
in
acquiring
a
sense
of
humor
,
Mike
had
developed
an
atrocious
taste
in
practical
jokes
–
but
what
the
hell
?
the
kid
was
going
through
a
delayed
boyhood
;
he
needed
to
dump
over
a
few
privies
.
Jubal
recalled
with
pleasure
an
incident
in
medical
school
involving
a
cadaver
and
the
Dean
–
Jubal
had
worn
rubber
gloves
for
that
caper
,
and
a
good
thing
,
too
!
Mike
’
s
unique
ways
of
growing
up
were
all
right
;
Mike
was
unique
.
But
this
last
thing
–
"
The
Reverend
Dr
.
Valentine
M
.
Smith
,
AS
.
,
D
.
D
.
,
Ph
.
D
.
,
"
founder
and
pastor
of
the
Church
of
All
Worlds
,
inc
.
–
gad
!
It
was
bad
enough
that
the
boy
had
decided
to
be
a
Holy
Joe
,
instead
of
leaving
other
people
’
s
souls
alone
,
as
a
gentleman
should
.
But
those
diploma
-
mill
degrees
he
had
tacked
onto
his
name
–
Jubal
wanted
to
throw
up
.
The
worst
of
it
was
that
Mike
had
told
him
that
he
had
gotten
the
whole
idea
from
something
he
had
heard
Jubal
say
,
about
what
a
church
was
and
what
it
could
do
.
Jubal
was
forced
to
admit
that
it
was
something
he
could
have
said
,
although
he
did
not
recall
it
;
it
was
little
consolation
that
the
boy
knew
so
much
law
that
he
might
have
arrived
at
the
same
end
on
his
own
.
