NOBODY ever heard of Comet
Legs again after he hoped on his
shooting-star and rode away.
But Mr. Peerabout, the Man-in-
the-Moon, is still on the job. He
decided the old way was the best
way, to change the Moon little
bit each night, and in that way every
person in the world was sure to be
pleased at least part of the time.
He told the Twins to gather up
all the complaining letters from the
voolfolk and water-folll and mead
ow-folk and return them to the peo-
pie who sent them, marked "un-
opened"
1t wasn't exactly polite thing to
do, but one can't be driven to his
wits ends by a lot of complaining
people who are never satisfied any
way-no matter what happens.
After that was settled, Mr..
Sprinkle-Blow, the Weathermar,
said he'd be going home to Buster
Gust Land, where he was sadly
needed to attend to his rain barrels
and things.
Also he'd have to see to it that all
all the Nuisance Fairies were securely

Molly had an impulse to jump from
the car. Not that Ben was repug-

cause she could not stand the whirl-
ing madness of events any longer.
81 could say yes as easily as no.
Her tone was quavering on the verge
of hysteria
and one would mean exactly as
little as the other. Oh, Ben, must
have myself to myself a while to
think things out. I'm dead, just
dead"
Wheeler shook his head, looking
straight at the road, his chin thrust
out in obstinate fashion.
"A girl is never too tired to know
her mind about such thing. You
know whether you care for me or
not. Why not say so?"
Molly's lips were drawn tight. Hot
tears blinded her. Swiftly she
opened the door and drew forward,
one foot on the step. Ben rammed
down the emergency brake and the
big car stopped dead.
His face paled with fright a strong
man feels in crisis where mere
strength does not serve him.
