Jehn Dofan was a very human-looking and highly intelligent young man, but sometimes he did not show good sense any young man might meet a girl night after night in an apple orchard, but Dofan had to do it oon time of war behind enemy lines, with the daughter of they mayor. On top of that he had to try to get information out of her. But the worst mistake he made was to say nothing in reply when Betty kissed him and whispered, "We will be so happy together." The situation swiftly deteriorated after that. He found himself under arrest. Thrown onto a cellar Jehn Dofan core a short but intense period of questioning by three strong soldiers, Dofan told them nothing. But it did not matter. As the soldiers left, the officer said, "You hang at dawn. We know how to treat spies»For the first time Dofan saw that he was in trouble Betty Fuller rushed in as the soldiers went out. She flung herself on Dofan and covered face blodied with hid kisses "My darling," She wept, "What have I done to you?» Betty Fuller is father was the mayor and had some influence with the military. But Dofan, although very human-looking and nightly intelligent, did not show good sense for the second time the same night He looked at Batty Fuller coldly and said, ' you've done enough. Why do not you let me alone?» Her eyes widened in disbelief and then flashed in hatred. She turned and calmly tapped on the door, and Dofan had no time to lose. He went to a corner of the cellar and listened to make sure no one was coming. With his right hand he felt for the tiny button under his right jaw, and pushed it and held it. He said softly, "Jehn Dofan calling Base, Jehn Dofan calling ...»«We have you, Dofan. Talk» «I am captured, heavily guarded. They plan to hang me at dawn, in less than and hour. Condition appears desperate. I need help»«Will this rescue operation lead to a major interference with the natives?»And, if so, are you willing to stand cour-martial?»«Stand by for instructions» Dofan removed his finger from the button and paced back and forth on the cellar in the candlelight Now that he had committed himself, he was a little sorry. But there seemed no other way out. This would spoil a perfect record here on the planet Earth. Betty Fuller had succeeded in ruining him. He would be expelled from the Controllers, and she and the other Earth people did not even know suck and organization existed.A series of sharp signals echoed inside his head. It startled him; He had not expected his instructions so soon. He wend to the corner and pressed the switch under his jaw and said, «Jehn Dofan.» «This is Charn Dofan. How are you, brother?»Dofan felt his breath catch in his throat, and for the moment he could not speak. A real feeling of relief swept over him. Charn Dofan was here, his elder brother, came to him in a time of trouble as always. He said, "Charn, it is good to hear your voice. Where are you calling from, brother?» «About a mile away. I command a troop of cavalry stationed on Brooklyn. I heard your call to Base and came out. Are you well?» «Very well, brother. And you?»«Very well» A silence fell. The silence rested uncomfortably and strangely with Jehn Dofan. There had never been any strained silences between him and his brother. Something was wrong «What is it? "asked Jehn Dofan A pause, then Charn began to speak. "Our Islands at home are ready to demand full independence. The Mainlanders are trying to find some way to prevent it. A vote will be taken next week. We won't get another chance for a long while.» Jehn Dofan nodded in understanding, "Yes, our people have worked toward statehood for a long time. I hope we make it.» Again the silence. Jehn Dofan was puzzled. He said. "What is wrong? What can we do about it from here?» This time his brother's words poured out, wrenched from the heart.«Base commander is a Mainlander! He will have to interfere openly with the natives to rescue you, and this will reflect in all the Islanders defenseman and influence the vote the wrong way. Your rescue will be and international incident back home»Jehn Dofan shook his head regretfully and said, "I suppose you are right. But I do not know now ... " And then he understood. His breath caught in his throat. His heart pounded.His brother continued, "the Base will be calling in a moment. I will be nearby, no matter what happens. Goodbye» The radio fell silent before Jehn Dofan coukd speak. He was alone in the cellar. He was frightened. He had not seriously considered the possibility of dying on this planet. Yet here he was in a position where his own brother thought that he should let himself be executed. The Islanders defenseman needed a hero now, not a goat. He needed time to think this out But there was no time. The buzzer sounded inside his head. He jumped. He went to the corner and pushed the switch and spoke. «There will be no rescue, Commander. I have decided that I do not want to be the cause of open interference» The commander started to speak, but then fell silent, recognizing the impropriety of arguing with Dofan about such a matted. But his anger was obvious. Feeling it, Dofan said, "There is no need to talk further, Commander. I sign off now. Do not risk open interference by contacting me again. Goodbye, sir» They came for him shortly. They marched him between two columns of red-coated soldiers to the slow beat of drums muffed. He climbed the gallows countryside. As they adjusted the rope around his neck, his eyes swept the assembled crown. There, to the left, among the ithers stood a tall, familiar black-haired figure in a red coat. He looked at his brother and smiled. He looked up to the sky. He could not see it, for it was light years away, buy he knew it was there. A lovely island on another planet, bathed in the breezes of ward, the place where his people were. His executioners asked him "Do you have anything to say, schoolmaster?» Then he knew what to do swing the vote; It came to him all of a sudden. With his face raised toward home, he said. "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country»
