Finally the official said, "what are you thinking about, Bob?"

Startled by this unexpected voice right in his ear, Bob jumped up and

yelled, "MURDER!"

Then it was the boss' turn to jump--whereupon Bob explained that he had

been concocting an ingenious scheme for committing homicide, which he

expected to use in one of his "Master of Mystery" stories.

Again, some years back when Bob was in the midst of "The Four

Dimensional Rolle-Press," "Four Dimensional Surgery," "Four Dimensional

Robberies," etc., Dr. Miles J. Breuer sent Amazing Stories a

dimensional tale--shall we say fourth dimension narrative?--because he

"didn't like the way Bob Olsen wrote them." Strangely enough, at the

same time Bob submitted his "Super-Perfect Bride." The two author's

stories appeared in the same issue of Amazing, the math teacher showing

the doctor how to write a medical tale, and the doctor demonstrating to

the teacher of mathematics how a dimension story should be handled!

Bob's "Fourth Dimension Auto-Parker" is something amusing in the

way of applying the 4-D. It may be said to equal or surpass his

best-remembered yarn, "The Educated Pill."
