Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH j j GRAHAM BONNER.AA&f WlMHl n VUliM NIWMa UNION SKY MOUNTAINS It was really the planet Venus you saw when you made your wish, and now youre going to see Venus. When you meet these planets and stars you will meet the chief resident each time, just as you would meet Mother Earth If you wanted to discuss Earth ways and habits, Cosmo explained. They got back into the plane now and were off once more. Harry won dered where Cosmo went between the calls they were making but he imagined Co8ra had important business. How beautifully the plane always took off or landed, and how wonderfully the pilot steered It through the heavens. When they again landed Harry saw a beautiful lady coming toward him. She waved at Cosmo as he was on his w'ay off once more, and then she smiled at Harry. She certainly must be beautiful, Harry thought, for usually he didnt notice beauty in people. She was dressed in white a lovely shimmering white and she wore a soft, misty veil over her head. In one hand she carried a shepherds staff. "So you saw me first this evening? she began. Well, youll see me first In the morning, too. If you ever get up early enough. In spite of the misty veil she wore she looked so bright She fairly seemed to gleam. You look so bright," he told her after a moment. He knew he could not go on staring at her as he had been doing. Wont you tell me about your staff and If you have any sheep? be added. He felt this question might j be more tactful. He wouldnt mind it If any one told him that he looked bright hut it was hard to know just what to say to a planet and just what might Insult one. He had a good idea what would in--' suit most people, or what would make them touchy or angry, but he was at a loss to understand a planets likes and dislikes. Howevw, he felt that asking If she had any sheep was a very harmless question. She invited him to sit down and then she told him. I carry my shepherds staff In honor of the shepherds. You see I have been called the white star of the shepherds. Isnt that a lovely name? Harry nodded, and waited for her to continue. He liked the way these planet people had of telling him about themselves without telling him too much. It always tired him when people went on with every little detail about themselves. "Years ago, Venus continued, "people called me Lucifer In the morning and Vesper In the evening. They thought I was not one object but two! They didnt understand about the planet stroll I was taking. She drew her veil around her a little more clopely. As she did so she said in a lower voice. I do this because of the Earth people. It keeps me more interesting, a bit more of a mystery. Those Earth people are so anxious to find out such a tot. Youll pardon me If I seem No rudeness intended. Im rude. sure." Quite all right, said Harry, with a wave of the hand. It was rather pleasant having some one apologize m him. It was something that didnt often happen. "Ive been photographed a great deal Venus told him, but I havent any of my own pictures so T cannot ask you to look them over. I hate being photographed," Harry Do you mind it? commented. "No, I dont mind. I dont have to pose or look any special way at all. But you see the Earth people have discovered from my photographs that my outer atmosphere has thin clouds and that my Inner atmosphere is thick and heavy. But they have never been able to see my surface because of my thick layer of clouds. He Harry didnt say anything. didnt believe he had ever seen a photograph of Venus and he didnt want to tell her so. She did not appear to expect any answer from him for there was scarcely so much as a pause when she was saying! "I always like to be around at sunset. I like the Sun, and I only stay up a few hours after the Sun has gone eted everywhere hodoy, o Die old.' Dome "bourn.. And rich car poor theyre cfl&cnad gray, "Hie old. Tiome 'Tbe .
