We should be pleased TO learn THAT Mt
least some of our young readers took our
hint about the eclipse of the sun on Wednez-
day morning, smoked their bit of glass anil
saw 1t. But there was not much to see. wax
there just a reddish ball and a rounded
black something taking n piece out of its
lower part. That was very simple, yet ii is
worth a short talk. The black somethiNg
was our moon, which is about 1000 English
miles across. We can't picture to ourselves
such Il great length as that, but if we have
been to New York we steamed about 1900
miles to get there and it took us 5 whole
days and nights, but we still had not aonA
such q great distance as the moons width.
So that little black thing up there, hiding u
part of the sun, is really Il very big ball. 1t
is only its great distancefnearly q quarter of u
million miles) that makes it look so sTall. But
what about that blazing ball behind t, the
sun ? SO far as we can Judge by looking Mt
it, it may be about the same size rs the moon,
but the astronomers tell MS it is $780, 900 miles
across. We can't picture that to ourselves
either, but we may notice that the sun rs
about four hundred times as wide as the moon.
Here again it is the distance that counts, the
sun is over 80 millions of miles way against
the moons distance of Il quarter million.
When you looked up at the black moon,
you perhaps thought bow dismal 1t woUld
be to live there. Did you pity the inhabit-
ants? Well. if you did, you can console
yourself with the verdict of the astronomers
that there is probably no life on the moon;
il seems to be a desert world. And again
that black ball only looked black because it
was showing against the blazing sun; in
reality it was % most beautiful night up
there, for the moon was lit up by the fully lit
up surface of our earth. just as we
speak of the "full moon" so the people
up there, if there were any, conld speak Of
the "full EARTH and as our earth IS four
times as wide as the moon it would give
them when 'full'', sixteen times as mech
light as the moon when "full' gives us. ii
this inter ests you, you may follow it up by
picturing to yourself the kind OF days and
nights there are up in the moop,remembering
that the moon takes about 20 days TO make
a single turn.

CHAPTER xI.

Mr.. Yazimoto, looking more like a
bafied wildcat than a trim little Jap
anese gentleman, stopped in the mar
row exit to pour forth a volley of Sc
lected ~objurgations, a perfect food OF
remarks, most of which III have
been highly uncomplimentary. Mr..
Kelly pointed a supple finger towards
the blackness that lay beyond the
doorway.

come real annoyed at you. Such Ian
guage! And I'd have sworn o were
an educated gentleman! Get out OF

and stood Kissing and splitting like
some gigantic cat.
T-I-you thief-you big italian
dog"-he ~screeched.- and then came a
flood OF Japanese EXPLANATIONS and
aspersions. His right hand few to his
back, and like a pair of wolves Kelly
and his brother pinioned him In prac-
ticed grasp. The Jewish young man
thrust sinuous, greedy hands into Mr..
Yazimoto's pockets, and the packet OF
money, the little scraps Of paper, and
a small, black, automatic pistol, were
laid upon the table.
Better be on your way, MI. Yazzy."
said Kelly, pressing sharply on the
wall. An opening, perhaps two feet
wide and six feet high, seemed to APP
pear from utter Darkness, and Mr.,
Kelly politely waved his hand toward
the exit.
Mr.. Yazimoto was no longer the
courteous little brown man, purring
and soft-mannered. He sputtered his
rage In almost inarticulate cries. and
then grabbed at the money IN the
table. Mr.. Kelly threw his wrist
across the brown throat and flung him
back again.

Mr.. Yazzy," said Kelly, while the Jew
ish young man retired, with the sheaf
of money, to the farther corner Of the
room. It's coming to us. | think.
Just charge It up to profit and loss.
Mr.. Yazzy. You'll never dare open
your face about what came on, and

you go with your life. Hurry along
now, Mr.. Yazzy-and here's a nickel
for c~arfare."

CHAPTER XII.

The spells of war having been care
fully put away, and the escort of our
gangsters notified of their duties,
Brockett and Solano started on the
devious journey that was to cover SO
large a portion Of North America be-
fore 1t could be satisfactorily COM
pleted-a longer trip, in fact, than the
youngsters had anticipated, and even
more replete with excitement and ad-
venture than they had expected. Kelly,
frankly cordial and evidently wholly
honest in his Intentions, introduced
them to the precious four who we're to
see them safely out Of Manhattan.
These two lads" quoth Mr.. Kelly.
ARE right people. The best ever, be-
lieve me, and | want you four to look
out for them till they are over In Jer-
sey. II anybody tries to get to them,
it'll be a bunch Of Japs. Keep cool,
