outside   the   window。   Fortunately   the   sash   had   been   up�察  �and   Koku   had 

tossed   Mr。   Period   through   the   open   window。   Otherwise�察  �had   there   been 

glass�察   �the  well´meaning�察      �but  unreasoning      giant   would    probably     have 

thrown his   victim  through   that�察 �and   he   might   have   been   badly  cut。 Tom 

had the window open for fresh air�察�as it was rather close in the shop。 

     ;Why�察�Koku� ─�exclaimed the young inventor�察�as he leaned out of the 

window�察�and extended his hand to the moving picture man to help him out 

of the drift。 ;What do von mean by that�拭─�Have you gone crazy�拭─�

     ;No�察�but no one shall lay hands on my master� ─�declared the giant half 

savagely。 ;I have vowed to always protect you from danger�察�in return for 

what   you   did   for   me。   I   saw   this   man   lay   his   hand   on   you。   In   another 

moment he might have killed you�察�had not Koku been here。 There is no 

danger   when   I   am   by�察─  �and   he   stretched   out   his   huge   arms�察  �and   looked 

ferocious。 ;I have turned over that man�察�your enemy� ─�he added。 

     ;Yes�察�you overturned me all right�察─�admitted Mr。 Period�察�as he got to 

his   feet�察  �and   crawled   in   through   the   window   to   the   shop   again。   ;I   went 

head   over heels。  I'm  glad it   was   clean snow�察 �and   not   a   mud   bank�察�Tom。 

What in the world is the matter with him�拭─�

     ;I   guess he   thought   you   were going   to harm  me�察  �said Tom  in   a   low 

voice�察�as the picture man came in the shop。 ;Koku is very devoted to me�察�

and sometimes he makes trouble�察─�the youth went on。 ;But he means it all 

for   the   best。   I   am   very   sorry   for   what   happened�察─  �and   Tom   aided   Mr。 

Period in brushing   the snow  off   his garments。  ;Koku�察 �you   must   beg the 

pardon of this gentleman�察─�Tom directed。 

     ;What for�拭─�the giant wanted to know。

     ;For throwing him into the snow。 It is not allowed to do such things in 

this country�察�even though it is in Giant Land。 Beg his pardon。 

     ;I shall not�察─�said the giant calmly�察�for Tom had taught him to speak 

fairly good English�察�though sometimes he got his words backwards。 

     ;The   man   was   about   to   kill   you�察  �and   I   stopped himI   will stop   him 

once     more�察  �though     if  he  does   not   like  the   snow�察  �I  can   throw    him 

somewhere else。; 

     ;No� �No� �You must not do it� ─�cried Tom。 ;He meant no harm。 He is 

my friend。; 

     ;I am glad to hear you say that�察─�exclaimed the picture man。 ;I have 

hopes that you will do what I want。; 

     ;He your friend�拭─�asked Koku wonderingly。 ;Certainly�察�and you must 

beg his pardon for what you did�察─�insisted Tom。 

     ;Very well。 I am glad you did not hurt yourself�察─�said the giant�察�and 

with that ;apology; he stalked out of the room�察�his feelings evidently very 

much disturbed。 

     ;Ha� �Ha� ─�laughed Mr。 Period。 ;I guess he can't see any one but you�察�

Tom。 But never mind。 I know he didn't mean anything�察�and�察�as I'm none 

the worse I'll forgive him。 My necktie isn't spotted�察�is it�拭─�

     ;No�察  �the   snow   didn't   seem   to   do   that   any   harm�察─  �replied   the   young 

inventor�察�as he looked at the brilliant piece of red silk around Mr。 Period's 

collar。 

     ;I am very particular about my neckties�察─�went on the picture man。 ;I 

always wear one color。 My friends never forget me then。; 

     Tom wondered how they could ever forget him�察�even though he wore 

no tie�察�for his figure and face were such as to not easily be forgotten。 

     ;I'm  glad   it's   not   soiled�察─  �went   on   ;Spotty;   as   he   liked   to   be   called。 

;Now�察�Tom�察�you said you were my friend。 Prove it by accepting my offer。 

Build that wizard camera�察�and get me some moving pictures that will be a 

sensation。 Say you will� ─�

     He looked appealingly at Tom�察�and�察�remembering the rather rude and 

unexpected   treatment   to   which   Koku had   submitted the   gentleman�察�Tom 

felt   his   mind   changing。   Still   he   was   not   yet   ready   to   give   in。   He   rather 

liked the idea the more he thought of it�察�but he felt that he had other duties�察�

and   much   to   occupy   him   at   home�察  �especially   if   he   perfected   his   silent 

motor。 

     ;Will   you   go�拭─  �asked   Mr。   Period�察  �picking   up   his   fountain   pen   and 

check   book�察  �that   he   had   laid   aside   when   he   walked   over   to   Tom�察  �just 

before the giant grasped him。 ;Say you will。; 

     The young inventor was silent a moment。 He thought over the many 

adventures he had gone throughin the caves of ice�察�in the city of gold�察�

escaping from the giants�察�and the red pygmiesHe went over the details of 

his   trips   through   the   air�察  �of   the   dangers   under   the   seas�察  �of   those   he   had 

escaped from on Earthquake Island。 Surely e was entitled to a little rest at 

home。 

     And yet there was a lure to it all。 A certain fascination that was hard to 

resist。 Mr。 Period must have seen what was going on in Tom's mind�察�for he 

said�此�

     ;I know you're going。 I can see it。 Why�察�it will be just the very thing 

you   need。 You'll get   more   fame   out   of   this thing   than   from  any  of   your 

other inventions。 Come�察�say you'll do it。 

     ;I'll tell you what I'll do � ─�he went on eagerly。 ;After you make the 

camera�察�and take a lot of films�察�showing strange and wonderful scenes�察�I'll 

put at the end of each film�察�next to my picture�察�your name�察�and a statement 

showing       that  you    took   the   originals。   How's     that�拭  �Talk   about    being 

advertised� �Why you can't beat it� �Millions of people will read your name 

at the picture shows every night。; 

     ;I am not looking for advertisements�察─�said Tom�察�with a laugh。 

     ;Well�察�then�察�think of the benefit you will be to science�察─�went on Mr。 

Period quickly。 ;Think of the few people who have seen wild animals as 

they   are�察  �of   those   who   have   ever   seen   an   earth´   quake�察  �or   a   volcano   in 

action。 You can go to Japan�察�and get pictures of earthquakes。 They have 

them on tap there。 And as for volcanoes�察�why the Andes mountains are full 

of   'em。 Think   of   how   many  people   will   be   thankful   to   you   for   showing 

them these wonderful scenes。; 

     ;And think of what might happen if I should take a tumble into a crack 

in the earth�察�or down a hot volcano�察�or fall into a jungle when there was a 

fight on among the elephants�察─�suggested Tom。 ;My airship might take a

notion to go down when I was doing the photographing�察─�he added。 

     ;No。 Nothing like that will happen to Tom Swift�察─�was the confident 

answer   of   the   picture   man。   ;I've   read   of   your   doings。   You   don't   have 

accidents that you can't get the better of。 But come�察�I know you're thinking 

of   it�察  �and   I'm   sure   you'll   go。   Let   me   make   you   out   this   check�察  �sign   a 

contract which I have all ready�察�and then get to work on the camera。; 

     Tom was silent a moment。 Then he said�此�

     ;Well�察�I admit that there is something attractive about it。 I hoped I was 

going to stay home。 for a long time。 But; 

     ;Then you'll go� ─�cried Mr。 Period eagerly。 ;Here's the money�察─�and he 

quickly   filled   out   a   check   for   Tom's   first   expenses�察  �holding   the   slip   of 

paper toward the young inventor。 

     ;Wait   a   minute�   �Hold   on� ─  �cried   Tom。   ;Not   so   fast   if   you   please。   I 

haven't yet made up my mind。; 

     ;But you will�察�won't you�拭─�asked Mr。 Period。 

     ;Well�察�I'll make up my mind�察�one way or the other�察─�replied the young 

man。 ;I won't say I'll go�察�but; 

     ;I'll tell you what I'll do� ─�interrupted Mr。 Period。 ;I'm a busy man�察�and 

every second is worth money to me。 But I'll wait for you to make up your 

mind。 I'll give you until to´morrow night。 How's that�拭�Fair�察�isn't it�拭─�

     ;YesI think so。 I am afraid; 

     ;I'm not� ─�broke in the picture man。 ;I know you'll decide to go。 Think 

of the fun and excitement you'll have。 Now I've taken up a lot of your time�察�

and I'm going to leave you alone。 I'll be back tomorrow evening for my 

answer。 But I know you're going to get those moving pictures for me。 Is 

that   giant   of   yours   anywhere   about�拭─  �he   asked�察  �as   he   looked   cautiously 

around before leaving the shop。 ;I don't want to fall into his hands again。; 

     ;I don't blame you�察─�agreed Tom。 ;I never knew him to act that way 

before。 But I
