They still laugh whenever they think of it—at least Polly, Richard and Ted do. They were all practising the way to thro w it, and getting on quite well, as vou car sec by the picture, when they had a visitor.

It was the Professor. "Hullo!” he said. “What is your little game?” Richard explained. “Boomerang throwi nir , R j r ” he said ii mv..ic out a Piece of wood, and we are learning to throw it.” wiv 1. ad „ d »?M rd ’.. an ? 1 can fatch p a,moBt cvcr -v time it romes back.” Well, well, well!’ said the Professor. “Let me sec it.”

Richard handed the boomerang to the Professor, who gazed very critically nt it. "Dear me,” ha said. "It is really remarkable. And you were clever enough to make it?” “Yes sir,” Richard replied proudly. "It’s years since I saw one,” the Professor went on. “It makes inc feel quite younif again.” "It comes back,” said Gwen—who certainly thinks that the most remarkable thing about tho weapon. "Of course," said the Professor.
