The People of the Comet

(Continued from page 84)

with my eyes. But I could draw. And that is what I did.

"'First I drew the outline of a large thumb. Then I drew a circle for the Earth inside of it, and stars and a moon and a sun. After that I drew a picture of a crude telescope and a man. Then I pointed at myself.

"'They seemed to understand. There was a great deal of rumbling and wonder. I pointed to their telescope and held my finger toward the stars overhead.

"'Just then Sora clutched my arm.

"' "Alvas!" she exclaimed, "Alvas! I feel. I am—"

"'She did not finished. Something seemed to smother her; her voice grew weak. I felt her sinking on my arm. I turned and caught her. At the same instant everything about me appeared to shoot upward. For a minute I had a feeling of weakness. And then I understood. We were growing smaller. We were going back to the thumb.

"'Just then something happened. We were picked up and carried through the air. Then we were landed upon the transparent substance that had puzzled us at first. I knew now where we were and what we must do. Sora had recovered; she had my hand in hers, and she seemed to understand. Our going back was. much like flight. We raced, hand in hand, across the surface until we came to the edge. Then we leaped over the rim. Something seemed to be drawing us on.

"'We were just in time. The semi-transparent nail had grown into a roof. I paused to take one last look at the wonderful world. I looked up outside of the roof, and I saw a vast round circle around a monster eye. They were watching us in our flight! I caught Sora’s hand and we raced under the roof into oblivion.

"'THE rest is soon told.

"'The next we knew was the comet. We were standing outside the house whence we had departed. We had apparently been gone but a few minutes.

"'But it was not the same comet that we had known. The terrible rim was almost burnt out; and of the vast coma there was only a glow remaining. It was a vastly different place from the wonderful little world we had known.

"'However, everything else was just as we had left it. We went into the house. The comet clock was still running; the indicator was back on the track, Sora caught my arm.
