His voice now came from the other side of the kitchen. “We will stand over at this side of the room until all of you have gone into the dining room. We were about to have dinner, and if you will take pot luck we shall be pleased to have you dine with us.” “That is nice of you!” Gran’ma said as she and the others walked into the dining room and sat down at the table. “It is strange to hear people speak and not be able to see them!” said Janey. [Illustration] Johnny felt something brush against his leg and when he felt down there he touched fur. “Here’s a kitten!” he cried, as he picked it up and held it upon his lap. All could hear the kitten purring as Johnny stroked its back, but it was invisible too. There were only two plates upon the table when the visitors entered the dining room, but now five more plates seemed to place themselves. “Everybody pull up chairs!” said the Invisible Man, as he caught hold of Gran’ma’s chair and tried to pull it towards the table. “Please excuse me,” he laughed when he felt the weight and knew that one of his guests was in it. All pulled their chairs up to the table, Ella suggesting that the visitors be seated first so that she and Jules would know just where they were. So all of the party presently were seated at the table and Ella brought in the food from the kitchen. It was strange for Gran’pa, Gran’ma, the children and the Princess to see the dishes of food come floating in from the kitchen, and it seemed as strange for Jules and Ella to hear the voices of invisible guests and see their knives and forks rise from the table to cut their food. When Jules had passed everything and all had helped themselves he asked where they were traveling and where they had come from. “It’s a long story,” Gran’pa said. Then Gran’ma told him of how they had come to the Moon, and why they were traveling to the City of Nite. “But the wicked Magician will not be able to see you,” said Jules, “for you are invisible!” [Illustration] “No,” Gran’ma answered, “we are visible to him, but the chances are that he will not be able to see you!” “If that is the case, and he should pass here we will do our best to help you!” said Ella. When the visitors had finished their dinner they thanked Jules and Ella and asked if they might be excused. “We are anxious to get to the City of Nite so that we can assist the Princess in regaining her throne, and try to get our Flying Boat so that we can return to the Earth,” they explained. The Invisible Man and Woman said they understood the visitors’ hurry, and told them to stop in to see them if they passed that way again. Just then the Soft-Voiced Cow put her head in at the door and asked if they were ready to start. When the Invisible Man and Woman heard the Soft-Voiced Cow speak they asked if they had forgotten to invite some of the party in to dinner. “It’s the Soft-Voiced Cow,” explained the Princess. “She has been eating her dinner of grass out in the back yard!”
