"I'm ready to go, sir

is so short on the earth-as compared
with life on a comet-yOu'll find the
grandchildren of your school friends
quite old and worm But you'll be i'm

ing so fine as riding on a comets tail"
Then Tommy followed the old man
out through the window, and soon
found himself sailing through soft,
radiant light, in a sort of airship, one
very different in construction from
those invented by our worlds people.
Up, up. up they went at terrific speed,
and before Tommy hardly realized that
he had left his own earth he found
himself sitting comfortably on shaft
of. light. Behind him and before him
stretched light, light, light. For a mill
lion miles he might have seen nothing
but light, light had his vision been
powerful enough to reach that far. He
was on the very center of the tail of
Halley's comet! His heart beat high
with happiness. AT last he would SEE

moon. Oh he would visit them each

you have keen desire to have per-
sonal introduction to this comet which
you tell us has appeared so far away
/ don't doubt but that you'll be able
to go to Mars or the moon at some
future day. And maybe the comet
won't be inaccessible, for in this age
of wonders some genius will suddenly
invent an airship that will not only
travel like the lightning, but have q
store of good breathing air in tanks
to supply the lungs of the navigator.
"All right kids, laugh at the greatest
science if you WILL" returned Tommy.
But the study of our neighbor planets
and those tramps, the comets, Is OF deep
interest to me, and mean to be an as
tronomer some day. And III II is ever
possible to reach n distant planet
which sounds foolish to me now-I shall
be one of the first to engage state
room in the airship making the jour
ney."
AS the boys had reached the gate to
Tommy's home by this time the subject
of conversation changed from comets 10
Bingo, Tommy's fine old dog, who was
wagging his tail in welcome to his mas
ter. And after a few minutes of gen
eral conversation the boys took them
selves off toward their respective
homes, while Tommy went into the
house, kissed his mother, answered a
few anxious inquiries from her as to
his day in school, and then hurried 10
his den" at the top of the house.
There he drew forth some old books ana
papers of very heavy and serious as
pect and began looking over them.
They dealt with the science of astron-
omy, and Tommy was soon deeply bur-
led in them.
As the evening advanced Tommy con-
tnued to read by the dying light that
came through the one window, for he
meant to read as much as he could be-
fore his mother should call him TO sup
per, which would be at half past six.
As the dim daylight faded altogether
Tommy was on the point of rising to
light the gas jet when he heard soft
tapping at his window. Then of sud-
den a great flash of light entered his
room and made it more radiant than
the sun. He turned to the window to
see who might be there-three stories
above ground-tapping at the easement,
and also to ascertain where such
brilliant light came from. His eyes
fell on the queer figure of little old
man, half wizard and half human;
standing on the window ledge outside.
And around him glowed and burned
the brightest yellow light Tommy had
ever seen.
Hurrying to the window, Tommy
opened the sash and asked the man
his business. He was so much amazed
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

splendid, "Where do you want me to
go?" he asked in breathless anticipa-
tion,
with neon the comets tail, son.
It's the finest place from which to
study the heavens you could want.
And we're continually running into
new territory. Change! Why, we get
a new view every million miles.
I'm ready to go with you, sir, at
any minute" said Tommy. I'm deep
ly interested in the study of astron-
omy."
Then let's be off, son. said the
queer old man. But before we depart
l would better tell you that we shan't
be back this way for some time. Can
you remain away for long period?'
when will the comet return this
way again?" asked Tommy, hoping the
man would say mot for ten years"
That would give him plenty of time in
which to study the heavens undls-
turbed.
"Oh, she'll be due here again in
about seventy-five years." said the
as the old man had visited the earth;
only he would remain longer on each
of the planets than his queer COM
panion had stopped on earth.
Just as Tommy was holding his eye
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

at the queer persons appearance there,
and astonished at the sudden light
which seemed to envelope the earth,
that he did not know just what to say,
so framed this question: what do you
want, sir, and where did you come
FROM"
well, young man, allow me to com ,
into your room and I'll make an eX-
PLANTATION. I'm rather uncomfortable
here, with such a small foothold." And
the queer man smiled.
Tommy stepped aside that the visitor
might enter. once he was seated be-
side the study table he looked into
TOmmys face and said: well, young
chap, l want you. And l came from the
comet"
"The comet?' And Tommy's sur
prise was great.
"Yes, Halley's comet, son. She's
there-rushing through space at a fine
rate She came so close to earth that
/ just slipped down to see what l might
see.. Well | landed on the ledge of
your study window. And I beheld you

smiled.

Tommy stirred, moved a benumbed
arm which had been beneath his head,
Then he opened his eyes to see his
mother standing beside him, shaking
him by the shoulder.

ed tones. MY ride on the comets
tail was only far-fetched dream. How

Tommy Rides Comet and Visits Stars

EECtAY, boys, have you been reading
of the appearance in the hea-
~ ems of Halley's comet? asked
Tommy Grey of several Of his school
fellows one evening after school as
they wended their way homeward.
"You know the comet can't be seen
with the naked eye, for it is something
like 400, 900 miles distant from u.s."
he went on to explain. But there is
q Photographic instrument in use by
the astronomers that can take the pic
lures of bodies in the heavens which
no telescope can bring close enough to
be seen by the human eye"
"Say. Tom, you ought to be an as
tronomer," suggested Fred Davis.
you're always reading everything
about planets and moons and comets.
As for me, / prefer to keep both feet
on the ground and let the heavenly
bodies take care of themselves. / hope
the comet won't come so close to earth
that it can be seen with the naked eye,
for in that case this globe might go
through Mr.. Comets tail. And that
would be the last of u.s."
bah, ignorant kid" sneered Tom
my. 'If you'd read along these lines
you'd know that no comet can ever
hurt us. We each have our place in
the great system, and one planet rec
ognzes the rights OF his neighbor.'
All the boys laughed at this, and Art
Wilson said: "Well, seriously, Tom, do

When they got the things they went
to Sarah's house.
Sarah saw them first and shouted
with glee. on the table was a clean
tablecloth and bowl of potatoes and
a loaf of bread. Jennette's papa saw
how poor they were and said they
should live i'm a nicer house.
When Sarah went to school with nice
clothes on like the rest everybody was
surprised. They thanked Jennette and
her father for their kindness.
