him something hot She said that she
would look for something and asked
him if some tabasco sauce would be
all right. Il have never seen any, so
don't know what it is; but bring it
along, anyway"
Jessie went and got the tabasco
sauce for him. The Man in the Moon
poured out about half of the tabasco
sauce that was in the bottle. He drank
that and said that he felt much better.
Jessie was glad because she didn't like
to have people get sick.
Just then the telephone bell rang. It
startled the Man in the Moon and he
looked around to see where the noise
had come from. He saw the telephone
and went to see it closer. He exam
ined it closely and asked Jessie what
it was, saying that they didn't have
them in the moon. Jessie told him
what they called it, what it was used
for and several other things about it.
The Man in the Moon said that he
thought it very wonderful
While the Man in the Moon and Jes-
sic were downstairs in the kitchen the
moon was looking around for the Man.
The moon looked funny, because he
squinted his eyes up so you could
hardly see them. Jessie and the Man
in the Moon came upstairs just then
and the Man in the Moon asked Jessie
" 81 Wilt MN 4OI d NlSll " Tie L1OOIl,
because he said he would bring her
back before morning.
AT breakfast next day mother said,
you must have been walking in your
Sleep JESSIE because this morning 1
found half of the tabasco sauce in a
bowl with the bottle beside it."

Jessie turned on him with a disgust
ed air. wouldn't you like a spoon?"
she asked. But the porridge was all
gone by this time, so the little girl
said: "Come into the living room and
sit down"
around in amazement at all the things
in the room. Finally he spied the tele-
phone. "Looki look!'' he cried.
Look at what?" asked Jessie.
"See that thing hanging on the
WALL" exclaimed the man in the moon
"Oh, that is only the telephone" an
swered the child.

WELL" began Jessie, heaving a
sigh, somebody gets up and calls a
number and central rings

man in the moon.

it rings bell, and you give central

"Ohi"
$50 she rings bell and you talk"
"Oh." said the little man again.
Then they went upstairs and the
man in the moon said: why, it must
be IL o'clock
THAT doesn't matter" said Jessie.
II must be-oh, what's that?" as ne
spied the faucet.
Turn that handle and water comes

That's quite good" said the Man
in the Moon. "but there is such a small
amount of it. In the moon we eat
enough to last us all day, but I'll have
to eat again in an hour because I had
such little to eat"
She did not know what to talk about
with this visitor. so she told him all
about the Herald Junior, and that she
sent a limerick or unfinished story in
to it every week.
who edits this paper that you call
the Herald Junior?" "Florena Bosard
Lawrence is the editor but she is called
Aunt Laurie by all the Juniors" THAT
must be nice" said the Man in the
Moon, "but what do they give you
when you win prize?"
ooh, / haven't won a prize, but l
have a couple honorable mentions A
friend of mine got a book called How
Canada Was Won by Capt. F. S.
Brereton, and it's very interesting. and
1 hope some day TO get a first prize,
as they give such nice prizes"
"But, to change the subject" said
the Man in the Moon, what is that
box on the WALL" That's a telephone
and we can talk to people far and near
through it,"
You have such interesting things
that 1 would like to live here, but have
so much business to attend to 1 will
have to go home" Just then Jessie
heard an explosion and the moon dis
appeared.
