      ACID BATH

      By VASELEOS GARSON

      The starways' Lone Watcher had expected some odd developments in his singular, nerve-fraught job on the asteroid. But nothing like the weird twenty-one-day liquid test devised by the invading Steel-Blues.

      Jon Karyl was bolting in a new baffle plate on the stationary rocket engine. It was a tedious job and took all his concentration. So he wasn't paying too much attention to what was going on in other parts of the little asteroid.

      He didn't see the peculiar blue space ship, its rockets throttled down, as it drifted to land only a few hundred yards away from his plastic igloo.

      Nor did he see the half-dozen steel-blue creatures slide out of the peculiar vessel's airlock.

      Once hidden from their eyes, he could cut back and head for the underground entrance
