Mary was asleep she turned over
to go to sleep herself. Just then,
however, she noticed that the
man in the moon was opening his
mouth. Imagine her astonish-
ment in moment when he spoke
to her, and what he really said
was this: well, little girl, can
you tell me the way to Norwich ?"
Jessie was so amazed she could
hardly reply, but she finally man
aged to say: 'Why, yes, sir, this
is Norwich Mary and l live in
Norwich. with our papa.
"Well, then, | think | shall stop
and make you little visit" said
the man in the moon. "Just wait
until tie string to this moon
SO it doesn't get away"
The next thing Jessie knew, in
through the window came a
round, bright little man with a
very beaming face and a happy
smile "Now, l don't know what
earth folk do when they have Wis
itorsT; but in the moon the first
thing we do is to offer our guests
something to eat"
Surely here was strange pro-
ceeding, but remembering that
she had left her porridge untasted
that morning Jessie ran down
stairs and the man in the moon
followed her out to the pantry,
where he eagerly seized the bowl
of porridge and commenced eat
ing it without waiting for
spoon.

Beginning of Story Completed by Juniors

The man in the moon came down TOO
soon,
And asked the way to Norwich.
He went by the south
And burned his mouth
With eating cold plum porridge"
.HNTHY, isn't that queer?"
w said Mary, putting down
" her other Goose. "Be-
cause we live in Norwich, and
maybe the man in the moon was
looking for us when he came
down"
ooh, you silly" laughed Jes-
sic, "how can you say such silly
things; don't you know there
isn't really a man in the moon ?"
Mary kept repeating the lines
all the rest of the evening, until
Jessie declared that she would
dream of that man in the moon,
surely, and his cold porridge.
For my part, l never did like
cold porridgc, and he must have
been very greedy indeed to eat it
and burn himself that way"
When the girls went to bed the
moon was shining brightly and
they decided to leave the window
curtain up SO that they could
have glimpse of the moons
smiling face as long as they were
awake.
Mary had gone to sleep the
first thing, still saying drowsily
to herself, The fnan,in the moon
came down too soon, and asked
the way to Norwich"
Jessie spoke to her once or
twice, but when she decided that

porridge, What's that black
4 thing there?" asked he.
That's the gas stove,' said Jessie.
'sWe cook our meals on it and 1t heats
the room.'
well, well, now isn't that handy?"
81 will turn on the electric light so
that you can see BETTER said Jessie.
well, well, now isn't that handy?
My people of the moon don't have
: stoves. They do all their cooking on
moonstones, and we don't need such
little lights as you have here, for 1T as
never dark in the moon. If you will
come with me to the moon Twill tive
you some moonstones- Why, what is
that thing there?"
''Oh. that's just the telephone. We
talk to our friends at great distances
over it," said Jessie.
well, well, now isn't that handy %
said he. MY people don't need tele-
phones. We just talk through our hats
and the message goes right where one
wants it to. Come, step into the moon
and III show you around. Now" said
the little man, you sit down here on
this green cheese chair and watch the
moon go round"
Jessie saw great mountains of moon
stones and lakes of cream, thousands
of butterflies making butter and little
moon men building houses with brick
cheese
The little man returned with a large
piece of cheese cake, which he gave to
Jessie and said: "Now I will see you
home. for am very busy. 1 must see
the moon men hang out more stars,
and we have the clouds to shine, the
thunder to roll, and, besides, we must
skim the cream off the milky way, and

said Jessie, puzzled expression COM
ing over her face. ooh, forgot" said
the Man in the Moon, you earth be-
ings are different from me. You see
it is always hot in the moon and if 1
eat anything too cold it burns me.
Now do you understand" Mary said,
yes"
every WELL" said the Man in the
Moon, haven't you any way to heat
it?" "Why, yes" said Jessie, 'Tll take
it to the stove" and she proceeded to
pick up the remains OF the porridge.
This done. she lit the gas stove and
placed the porridge upon it.
Hum" said the Man in the Moon,
that's a funny thing" Everything be-
came dark all of a sudden. I'll bet
Rushing to the window he saw the
moon darting in and out among the
clouds.
Good by, little girl: see you later"
FRANK TOM HOWELL,
526 Maple avenue, Boyd Street school,
grade AS.
Jessie then led the little man from
the moon out of the pantry and into
the hall, where he stopped to examine
the phone.
what is this?" he inquired
ut is a telephone" said Jessie.
what is it for?" he asked.
ITO talk through"
"Well, that's strange" said the little
moon man. I'VE have nothing like
that in the moon. We don't need any,
for we live in the beautiful big flowers.
why, how can that me?" asked Jes-
sic.
well. it's this way. The people are
all smaller than children and the flow
ers are large and strong"
How do you cook, if you have no
gas stove or houses?" insisted Jessie.
why, we don't cook We have all
kinds of fine fruits and things to eat.
so we don't have to cook" answered
How nice! No cooking or dish
washing.
wouldn't you like to go back to the
moon with me and see the queen and
all her little people, and the way they
live? I will bring you back before
day"
"Oh, yes; certainly I would" said
Jessie.
They made a trip to the moon and
saw many beautiful things, and Jessie
ate some of the strange fruits, which
she liked very much.
Then when the man from the moon
brought her back she told him goodby,
and Mary must have heard her, for
she asked who she was talking to.

When Jessie came with the spoon she
found that he had eaten the porridge
up. And Jessie did not say anything,
but she thought it very curious to eat
porridge without a spoon.
The little man told Jessie that he
wanted to look around at Norwich
before going back to the moon While
Jessie was taking him into the parlor,
he saw something curious hanging
from the wall and asked Jessie what
it was. Jessie told him it was a tele-
phone.
Jessie showed him all around the
house, and then came back to the
kitchen again, and the little man saw

ga big range and, of course, asked Jes-
sic what it was. Then Jessie got
tired of him asking questions and said,
what do you want to know for? 1t
will never do you any good to know"

Jessie watched the queer visitor with
much interest, and then asked:
what do they do next in the moon?"
after refreshments" he answered.
after refreshments" he answered,
eve just sit and chat"
Every well,'' said Jessie, and soon the
two were talking as socially as if they
had known each other for years.
sit seems so queer" said Jessie, 81
laughed at Mary yesterday afternoon,
and told her there was no man in the
moon"
There was a long silence, and then
the guest spied something he had never
seen before On the wall.
what is it?" he asked.
'"That?" she asked pointing toward
the object.
"Yes.''
"Why, that's the telephone" began
Jessie, Haven't you ever seen one be-
fore?"
81 haven't see any of these modern
Inventions and I wouldn't mind If you
would show me some of them"
"All right" said Jessie, rising from
her chair. She took him through the
house He then spied the electric light,
and was very surprised when Jessie
turned it out and left him in the dark
linen he saw the gas stove, and was
very astonished when she told him that
their cooking was done there.
The moon looked like a shining cir
Gle, but the center was dark, like the
sky. The stars twinkled merrily to
Jessie as she passed an open window,
and the cool night breeze blew in.
She accompanied her guest to the
door, where he said:
Jessie, have had a good time, and
now will ask you to come up to the
moon with me. It's awful nice up
there, and I'm sure you'll like it."

When Jessie came in from the
kitchen with a spoon she fouId that
the little man had eaten the porridge
all up without a spoon.
The little man said that while he was
down he would like to see about the
house, for he might never get to Nor
witch again.
% jessie was gong TO take him to
the parlor, but as they were going
through the hall the little man noticed
something hanging on the wall. He
asked Jessie what it was, and Jessie
told him it was telephone.
She told him that If anyone wanted
to talk to some one far away they
would not have to go and see them;
all they would have to do was to cali
for their number, and then they would
no n
They went on and on till they came
back to the kitchen again. The little
man saw the gas stove. Jessie told
him that it was to cook on. Then he
wanted to know how they made a fire
in it. She told him that they lit it
with a match.

ATE all the porridge. and then
III asked Jessie if there was any
more to eat.
yes, l have some pickles and bread
and cake" said Jessie.
Let me have Them" said the man
in the moon.
He took the food from Jessie and be-
gan eating it as if he were in hurry.
When he was through he smacked his
lips and got up from the box on which
he had been sitting.
Have you ever seen an electric
light?" asked Jessie
What is that thing?" asked the man.
81 will show you," said Jessie, as she
proceeded to turn on the light.
well, we'll" said the man; 81 guess
I'll have one of those things put in my
house.
Here is the gas stove" said Jessie,
pointing to the kitchen gas stove.
What do you do with that?" asked
the man.
TITS to cook on" replied Jessie.
What other funny things have you
around here?" asked the man.
TN show you the doorbell," said
Mary.
So they started to go to the front
door. While they were going through
one of the rooms the man in the moon
happened to look through window
and see telephone pole
What kind of tree is that?" asked
the man with puzzled look.
That is telephone pole" said Jes-
sic. at last. They string wires on
them"
what do7they do that for?" asked
the man.
1.-THE wires have electricity in them.
and if anybody should touch them they
would get shock"
Jessie looked out of the window for
some time after the man had gone
away, and then went to bed.

AS he was so very greedy he burnt
his mouth and hands Jessie put a
spoon beside the bowl, but he ignored
it and went on eating with his hands.
Jessie turned away in disgust. at
is q. great wonder that he does not burn
his mouth and hands to cinders, he is
so greedy" she muttered. Then, think
ing of good scheme. she turned to the
man in the moon.
Would you like me to fry some of
that mush?" she asked.
Yes; oh, yes" replied the man in
the moon
~All right" replied Jessie.
She lit the gas range and turned
around to see the moon man" gazing
at her in establishment
What kind of a stove is that?" he
asked
THAT is a gas cooking range" an
swered Jessie.
Then Jessie put the mush on to fry,
and when It was done put it on plate,
and all this while Jessie could see
through the man of the moon, for he
was as transparent as glass.
AS soon as he had seen the telephone
ne departed through the window.

said, but the words were no more out
of his mouth than he sprang up with
a cry of pain and the bowl of porridge
fell to the floor with crash. SOW!
