fifty odd years, I undertook to skate
twenty miles or so along the fro/.-*

vent to a he.iriy guffaw.

erable aspect, whom J at once recog
nized as the man in the moon, ap
proached me and inquired my busi
ness. I explained that I was an
involuntary trespasser on his hos
pitality, and then, thinking as I
was there I might as well learn
something about the history of our
satellite and its inhabitants—sup
posing there were any—I proceeded
as respectfully as might be to ques
tion the old fellow.
_“Yee, you are right!” he exclaim
ed in answer to my query as he
placed the load of fagots he was car
rying on a projecting mass of gran
ite and rested his back against the
oone of an extinct volcano. “I have
seen a lot of changm in at time.
Howold am I? Well, I don r t know
but it is some millions of
years ago since my first birthday.

fifth is how.
“Seas sparkled in Che
brooks gleamed and dished
Chi valleys, and forests'dot!
verdure * tbs mountains no;
and silent.Aye, thesC Were
times. The buds sang in the*woods
from early diiwn to nightfall, the
fishes leaped and plashed and leaped
and plashed again in every eddy and
pool of our prehistorio rivers. Orest
mammals, some uncouth and some
beautiful, but mostly the latter,
roamed at will amid the glades of
our mighty forests. Then, after a
milSxykTyears or so, man came.”
“Man?” I repeated incredulously.
“Yes, man,” he reiterated rather
testily. “Man, of course. Do'you
think your earth alone has been the
home of man? I tell you he lived
and flourished here while the earth
was yet formless and void, a vast
white hot mass of semifluid granite.
At first he was weak for lack of
knowledge, and fought—often un
successfully—with ■ the wild beasts
of the forests for food and drink
and raiment. Then as he grew older
he grew wiser and carved for him
self weapons of flint and wood, just
as the earth man did a million or
two years afterward. Our lunar
men were very clever, too, very
clever; not so large or so strong
as terrestrial man, perhaps, but
quicker to learn. Why, it did net
take us more than 200,000 years to
perfect our civilization.”
“And what happened then?” was
my next query.
“Ah, there you have asked a
a uestion hard to answer,” quoth
tie old man sadly. “All I know
is that one year there came a blight
over all things. It was not exactly
a plague. It was rather a want of
vitality in the atmosphere that re
acted with terrible effect on all ani
mate nature. Man, being the most
highly organized of all things liv
ing, was the first to feel its baneful
effects, and he dwindled and pined
and finally perished, and the places
that had been wont to know him
knew him no more forever.
“Then as the sunny atmosphere
grew more and more, attenuated the
mammals first and afterward every
form of animal life grew cold and
dead. The lowest forma of plant
life lingered for a few thousand
years longer, until the last drop of
water had evaporated into space, in
fact, and then they, too, vanished,
and the moon was left as you see it
today—a dead world, without heat,
atmosphere or moisture.”
“A sad fate, surely, but you must
have become resigned,” I said sooth
ingly, for the old man was sighing
heavily and gazing fixedly into
space, as though he saw again the
lost visions of lone livers he had
been describing. ,
“No, I am not resigned. And
he shook his head slowly from side
to side. “Both myself and my sis
ter look forward to better times to
come.” , . ,
“Your sister?” I exclaimed won-
deringly. *T was not aware ——
“That I had a sister?” he inter
rupted. “Oh, yes, I have, but I for-
eot! Of course you have never
goon her. She Uvea on the side of
tfea opposite to the earth,
•mid mountains and valleys, upon
whose bold outlines *> earthly
erfit nud. If is by far the
of the tttodh, too, but she
she is really 6,000,000 years young
er than am I. Then, of course, she
dresses in—in”—
“The habiliments suitable to her
sex,” I ventured to say.
“Precisely, and, like all the wo
men here, is fond of dress. Why,
when I last visited her, some 25,000
years ago, almost her first questioo
was, ‘Hew do the women dress now
on the earth?’ Of course there
wasn’t much to tell her, because—
well, the women of that day didn’t
trouble themselves much about
dress, but I am thinking of paying
bar another visit soon, and than I
shall have a different budget of newi
lor her." .
“But toll me,” I interrupted, foi
J waa not much interested in the old
sister, “something about
hare, then si-
not quite. My wbrid'is cold and
dead.' Yoon is still olive, as was
seine once,~but roar turn -will corns
some day, end than we shall both go
circling through space, cold, silent
and
ued,
from ^
as jt is since I first set eyes, oh your
planet. ~ Then, asT sfild before, it
waS a mere mass of molten* matter—-
a vast white hot hall-whirling round
-the sun and carrying ine with it.
I remember as though it -were yes
terday the first beginning, of earth
ly life. At first the seas, covered
everything, and beautiful specimens
of marine flora floated everywhere
upon the surface of the water, while
in its translucent depths fishes of
strange form and glorious coloring
disporte-«T themselves. Then the dry
land began to appear, and by slow
degrees the great forests that
shrouded as wit!* a mantle all the
earth not covered by the waters.
For millions of years what you are
pleased to call the lower animals
were the only denizens of their
somber depths, and even after man
came it was hundreds of thousands
of years before he even partially
dominated the face of nature."
“But was there not,” I asked, “an
ice age ?”
“A what?” he exclaimed, with a
puzzled expression of countenance.
“An ice age,” I repeated, “a
period of time when the ice, which,
as you are aware, is always present
at the poles, spread northward and
southward until it enveloped almost
the entire globe.”
“Oh, yes,” responded mine host,
with the air of a man trying to re
call some long forgotten and alto
gether trivial incident. “I believe
something of the kind did happen,
and not more than 100,000 or 160,-
000 years ago either. But it only
lasted about 20,000 years, and I had
quite forgotten all about it until
you mentioned it.”
This concluded the interview, for
although I would have liked to have
pursued my inquiries further the
old chap suddenly snatched up hie
bundle, bent his back and resumed
his orthodox position, at the same
time indicating by a gesture that he
was not inclined for any further
conversation. “We are right over

ed in answer to my look of surprise,
“and I don’t want the astronomers
