"_Me_? How ever could I make stars?" And he stared at her in
wonder.

"Oh, yes you can. Do you see those little ones there? They are the
kind deeds people do on Earth. We go looking for them, and we can find
them easily, for they shine out even in the darkest woods and the
darkest streets. Then we put them up here. Look hard and perhaps you
can find some you recognize."

Marmaduke did look hard. There was one near him. It was very little,
but, somehow, as he looked he seemed to know it.

He went very near it. It twinkled like a real star, yet it was round
as a bubble. And in it, just as in a soap bubble, he saw a picture.

The Star Lady was looking at him with an amused smile.

"What do you see?" she asked.

Yes, sure enough, there was a picture in it, a little faint, but he
could make it out a horse and a bright red cart and on the seat a boy
with crutches.

"Why it's Little Geeup and Johnny Cricket!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, it's the picture of the time you took him for a ride," she
answered. "I saw you do it, and I went down to Earth, and took that
kind, bright little star deed, and planted it here in this very same
field."
