He Hieus the Earth

They soon came to q great circular opening at
their feet, through which poured the sunlight and
both started back as they looked down and saw the
earth below bathed in pale moonlight. They could
distinctly see people walking along the seashOre,
lovers who imagined no one was looking, burglars
breaking into housetOps, policemen sleeping on
their beats, boys reading in bed, girls talking out
of windows to boys, and all sorts of people doing
things that they imagined were hidden from all
eyes. The Man chuckled as he said:
"Now, you see what is revealed every night 10 the
Man in the Moon, ehY Little do all those people
think my eye is on 'enn, do they2 But it Is all the

"Yes; but the Almanac tells you months before

That's more than can myself" said the Man
wonderingly.
"Did you make this big holel" asked Jessica to
divert his thoughts.
fEWhy, of course notl All these holes are mads
by the moon-mole an enormous animal that goes
roofing around inside, constantly coming out just
where you never expect him, and pretty nearly
catching you each time. Can't you his holes

"Yes; but we are told that they are craters Of
extinct volcanoes" replied Jesse. "They certainly
do look like molehills, though"
"That's what they are" said the man, sand only
hope he doesn't make one while you are here"
Jessica shivered "Let's go back" she Whispered,
clutching Jesse's arm.
"Let us walk out IN the light" said Jesse, and
the man led the way through the great hole
All the way back they kept their eyes upon the
great round earth above them, and wondered how

Lands on the Moon

Now, Jesse would not contradict her and say
that she had never said any such thing for he was
very gentlemanly, but he resolved never, never to
take girl out in an airship again He was strug-
Cling with all his might to pull out the glass plate
and didn't notice that they were now miles and
miles away from the earth, so far away that they
could not see the cities at ALL and it looked just like
a map with merely difference between green or
brown land and blue water 1t was so cold too that
Jessicas tears froze and fell like hail over the side
and shot down like silver bullets. Soon he had to
give up and blow on his hands to keep them warm.
He began to see that they must surely freeze to
DEATH but fortunately the tremendous speed of the
machine it went through the air caused it to be-
come heated 10 such extent that the air inside be-
came like that on a summer afternoon, and they
were soon quite comfortable. Soon the great earth
looked like big ball below, and then like marble,
and later like pill BY and by it became so small
that they had hard work find tiff they took their
eyes off of it for moment after which it totally
vanished, and then they began to whiz past stars
with lightning speed, sometimes coming so close as
to brush OF stardust with their elbows 1t was dark
as a deep cellar now, because after one gets away
from the atmosphere of the earth all is continual
night In space, and 1t was exceedingly gloomy and
uncomfortable for them. Once a big fiery comet
chased them for many miles, and passed them with
kissing roar, close that they could feel the heat
from 1t, and they were almost swept into the mass
of fire in its spreading tall
After they had sailed along for hours, Jesse
made another attempt TO remove the glass plate
and perhaps because the car was so hot 1t slipped
out as easy as winking. For long time they
couldn't tell which way they going, but sud

"Oh, lookl there's the moon below us, and we are
going to strike it,"
Jesse looked over the edge and saw the moon.

TO check their speed 10 prevent humping the moon
very hard indeed. They landed on a sort of round
topped hill and sprang out at once. Jessica had
scarcely planted her feet upon the moon, when she
cried in surprise:

and landed them on the grass above before they
could let go their grip. Mr.. Pllsbury aston

after breakfast Jesse and Jessca, for, strange to
say that was the little girls name, started off, both
the old man and his wife shed tears, for they
almost sure they would both have their little necks
broken before the trip was finished. "Shall we go
straight home or shall we explore the world ttle"
Jesse asked when they were high in the air and
Jessica had got used to the new sensation.

just beyond what looks like big fair ground"
'Let's go to the fair and give them an exhibit

off his skill with his wonderful discovery. "That
would be fun" Jessica said.
So Jesse tried to draw out the glass and descend
at the Fair Grounds but because of Jessicas added
weight, or because of some unknown influence, he
found that it wouldn't out, matter how hard
he tugged at 1t, and all the time the shoot

much alarmed, and Jessica sobbed:
