  Cry Silence by Fredric Brown - Would you try to save your wife from a killer? Seems like a. simple question, but to Mandy's husband, it was one to stump the experts. 
  It was the old silly argument about sound. If a tree falls deep in the forest where there is no ear to hear, is its fall silent? Is there sound where there is no ear to hear it? I've heard it argued by college professors and by street sweepers. 
  This time it was being argued by the agent at the little railroad station and a beefy man in coveralls. It was a warm summer evening at dusk, and the station agent's window opening onto the back platform of the station was open; his elbows rested on the ledge of it.
