About this issue

July 1949, Vol. 14, No. 65 Thou Lord Seest Me by Q. Patrick (psychological crime story) opens with Mr. Loomis, a timid London office worker in postwar England, who finds solace only at his workplace. He harbors a romantic attachment to his coworker Miss Henderson and indulges his paternal instincts by befriending neighborhood children—particularly young Dinah Milton next door—secretly hoarding food scraps during wartime rationing to give her. His austere, judgmental wife Mabel disapproves of both gestures. The narrative establishes Loomis's constrained existence: his lack of household keys, his daily delayed bus rides, his meager office position as cashier, and his elaborate fantasy life built around a faded childhood photograph. Additional stories follow including The Trail of the Brown Sedan by MacKintlay Kantor (professional manhunt), The Big Shots by John Di Silvestro (realistic detective), and works by Hector Bolitho, Gerald Kersh, Stephen Vincent Benét, and others. The issue also announces the magazine's $6,000 short story contest.
