Mrs. Shinman'M nurtiug wordx. thix
note from Mr. Shiuinun. so thrilled
Jennie that for the time she forgot other
matters.
Never did this world seem so desir
able, never did her pathwaj seem to be
lending forward to smpIj a glorious uml
widening future. Tliere won'il bine to

but she would hold on to it I
Afterward, when she was ut home
with Mrs. Harrison und Sue. it seemed
Unit their whole-hearted affection for
Iit would not permit them to leae.
Jennie furtively glunced at her watch.
The hands crept around toward 5 : her
uneasiness grow, but she could hardly'
send them away, and they were still
there when the butler announced the
arrival of the eabinet-maker.
She hesitated; then said wMtb forced
calm: "Send hjm in, Martin. I'll show
nun wnut the work is.
A moment later lllack Jerry was
ushered iu by the llnglisb butler. lllack
Jerry's dress was the visual ouc of urti
saus he wore the common celluloid
collar, with a buttoned on bow li", and
he held the usual scuffed leather bag in
which skilled workmen carry their tools.
His dark face was impassive.
"This way, please," Jennie oidcred.
lllack Jerry, bulling ulong the great
Itallanesquo lireplace, ciossed the big
living room to the door which Jennie
opened. "It's the, lower left drawer
to that desk which jou are to fix," she
continued in her even voice, and, clos
ing the door, she returned to her guesN.
"Did jou reully notice him, Jennie?"
whispered Sue. "What u grim, sliud
der.v -looking man!" ,
"Just so be does the work I don't
care what he looks like," Jennie re
turned eurclessl.
Fifteen minutes later her visitors
dually did depart und Jennie slippid
into the bitting room. Her father rose
from the chair iu which be bad beeu
waiting.
"Pad!" sho breathed. "Dad!"
"Jcnuic." he gulped, and then:
"There's no danger o your husband
coming iu on us?" ho asked.
"No. Kenneth never comes home be
fore half-past 0."
lllack Jerry glanced about the sit
ting room. "I never eaw your homo
before. You ve sure got a swell place,
Jeunio" cxultlngly "the swcllcst

"Baa! Ilua! That's u good job for
me," he bleated, aud at onco he butted
into tbe fut chap nearest to him.
"Woof!" went tbc fat chap.
"Whish!" went tho air in the tube.
"La. la!" cried the Man in the Moon
gleefully ns bo saw tho air pressure
go up in bis instrument.
"Ile-haw, 1 can pump air, too,"
bruyed Balky Sam, letting fly with bis
heels at a blown-up chap. Wham! Thc
kick was ono of Balky Sam's best, und
thd fat chap was torn loose from the
air tube and sent flying up through thc
telescope, fur above the surface of the
moon.
"Yah! Yah! Yah! Here's a new
game," shrieked thc moon folks, leap
ing in front of Balky Sam's pounding
bcels. Wham! nnd Balky Sain bent
another flying up through the telescope,
and jet another. It was more fun thuu
tho moon folks bad eujoyed in many n
day. They liked to bo kicked far
into tbo air. The bouncing jolts didn't
seem to hurt them n bit. And it was
fun for Balky Sam a regular kick
lug bpree.
"La! La! Kick me!" thouted the
Man iu thc Moon himself. Ho leaped
In tbe way of tho smashing heels, but
instead ot going up tnrougb tuo tele
scope ho went bouncing llko lubber
ball from wall to wall.
I'cggy, dodging about to escape from
thc general confusion, got in tho way
of the Man in tbo Moon nnd was scut
tumbling right toward tho muzzle of
tbo airgun.
"Look out," shrieked Billy, but it
was too late. Down went Peggy into
tbo black hole, down until sho hit
something springy. Snap! Itoar-r-r-r!
There was a rush of air, a blinding
flush, n breathless darting through
SDaco and a hard thumn.
Peggy opened her eyes to find herself
ou tuo uoor Dcsiae tier own no a ut uome.
"Gracious! The airgun really
worked!" sho gasped. "It bus shot
mo back to earth, and now how under
tho sun am I ever going to get to thc
moon aguln to find out what becomes
of Billy, Balky Sam, Johnny Bull und
Billy Goat?"
