"Of course not," he agreed. "But they're open to attack." "I suppose so," she conceded. "But it doesn't matter." "Of course it matters!" he expostulated. "Now if you only, had something you _got_ on the moon--brought away with you--that didn't exist on earth--" "People would just say it _did_," put in Bennie. "Who cares? _We_ don't!" "Sure you don't!" he answered sympathetically. "But it means a heap to me. Don't you see what a scoop it would be for us to be the only paper to _prove_ you'd been to the moon?" Even as Diggs spoke, far out on the black, heaving horizon, a dull luminosity became suddenly apparent. Brighter it grew, and some stray wisps of cirrus cloud above smoldered in the sky. "What's that over there?" asked the reporter. "It looks as if the moon were coming up--only it _is_ up!" He turned and gazed into the heavens, where the moon was rolling through the clouds like a great golden wheel. Bennie was lighting his pipe, and Rhoda vouchsafed no reply. Then, on the edge of the distant, watery world, a bead of fire rose and sent toward them a flittering beam. An orange disk thrust itself above the waves--a brilliant, dazzling shield of gold marked with strange wrinkles like a corrugated orange. "Good heavens, what's that?" exclaimed Diggs. "Am I seeing double?" "No more--than anybody--else," retorted Bennie puffing. "That is our evidence--the proof you were asking for. That is Medusa--the earth's new satellite--the wandering asteroid that will wander hereafter around the earth." "Two moons?" demanded Diggs. "Yes, Mr. Diggs; you can telephone to New York that hereafter you have arranged for two moons--a big one for the grownups; a little one, half-size, for the children." "And not such a bad little moon at that," added Bennie. "Our honeymoon," whispered Rhoda. "Goodnight, Mr. Diggs." THE END * * * * * THE MOON MAKER _Arthur Train and Robert W.
