There are other things I would like to send for, but I wont put you to any more trouble this time. Yours forever, BELUSA DeUSKNBEKBT.

At first he was t- rribl v frightened, expecting instant death, but his perception was perfectly clear. Then he grew dizzy, and it seemed that he was rising higher aud higher in the air. Next he felt as though in a dream, with a dim sense of immngining that he was being transported to the moon at a terrible speed. That was the last he remembered. A calculation showed that he had been carried an aggregate of thirteeu miles in about cijht minutes.
