too many pcoplo begin to trail into

He crossed and opened the door o Jen
nie s old rootri. ''Come. on. Slim; time
for jou to be hitting the trail uptown
with Jennie."
Slim stepped jauntily forth, hiding a
well-acted yawn. "Had a nice littlo
nap, Jerry. Thanks for putting me
up. Shall I tip the chambermaid?"
Better cut out your comedy stuff,"
giovvled Jerry, glaring at him. Just
then Black Jerry was filled with im
potent rage against fate just as Jennie
was und Slim was the nearest target
for his wrath. "You think you've trav
eled a long ways since jou Ubed to sling
your limber legs down here for a few
bones a week. But I don't trust you
and I'm going to watch you, and you
haven't gone up so far that I can't
reach up nnd twist off j'our damned
neck any time I think you're trying
to put any queer business across on
my Jennie. Now, you get out of here,
iiuick, and no funny lines as jou go off
the stage!"
Grimly. Jeiry pushed Slim toward the
door. Slim was still smiling, but he
said nothing ; he had gained a consid
erable amount of wisdom) had Slim.
Jcrrv pushed him through and turned
on Jennie.
"Iti making up jour mind don't you
think about anybody but .yourself," he
ordered gruffly. "Good night."
His manner was forbiddingly per
emptory and gruff.
"Good night." Jennie said in a faint
voice, and to Uncle George she nodded ;
then she slipped through the door with
out even so much as a farewell glance
ut her old home.
At the foot of the darkened stair
way Slim's shadowy form awaited her.
The utreel was clear, and a few
minutes later they were' out of the
neighborhood and out of danger. But
.lennie had too much to think of to have
anything to say, and she allowed Slim's
many attempts at opening a conversa
tion to L'o unnoticed uutil he remarked :
"I say. Jennie, tell an old friend just
what is' that business between jou and
Ham- Edwards?"
"That business is none of your busi
ness!" she returned sharply.
.. "Ouch!" he said with a soft laugh.
By this time they weie neariug Jennie's
home. ."Look at me, Jennie." She
did so; lie spoke quietly, with none of
lii previous taunting, teasing tone.
"Hue is something that is my business.
Aud th s s the last call for the dining-
room for me, at any rate. Was that

came in that jou are not going to team
up with me later:
Here was one matter that had no
two sides for Jenuie. "That was and
is final! she s.lid emphatically, as
the car slowed down. "And what's
more, I've learned I don't have to pay
you blackmail nujmoro. So we're
thiough, Slim Jackson !"
He regarded lior steadily, thought-
fullj. "So!" His grny eyes narrowed
and for on instant Hashed with a
strange look then they were the same

he murmured in an even tone as he
helped hcr out. "All right. Good-by."

Jim Ciow" was a jumpj dance she had
just learned at her dancing school.
Billj nodded and they began.
But at the very first hop, Peggy
saw that something was going wronc.
That hop took them sailing up into
the air, and they were so long coming
down that when they reached the floor
nicy were all out ot time with the mu
sic. The same thing happened in thc
next hop, only this time they went
higher than before. Try as thej- would
they couldn't take the little jumps that
should be taken in the dance.
Teggy couldn't understand what was
thc matter. As for the Man in the
Moon and tho Moon Folks, however,
they seemed to enjoy thc dance greatly
for tltey laughed nnd chuckled ns
though it were jolly fun.
Billy was'as much puzzled as Feggy
at first, and then suddenly he gave
a shout: "I know what is thc matter,"
he said. "I heard teacher telling in
school why things fell to the ground
and why persons arc heavy. It's be
causo of the pull of the ICarth which
attracts things to it llko a magnet.
Thc Moon is only a quarter as large as
thc Karth so its pull is only a fourth
as great. We are lightor und can jump
four times as high as on 15a rth. Come
on, let's jump and leap as high as wc
can."
With that he whirled Peggy into a
leaping, whirling dance, in which they
bounded as high us the Moonbeam
Maidens had done, and higher. Indeed,
in one jump they went so high that
