“I see it!” cried Buddy. “I can find the North Star 
now.” 
“Let me have the string to see if I can find it, too,” 
said Marylee. She took the string and held it the way

“You must remember that it does not make any dif¬

Uncle Jack. “It seems to move, but those two Pointers 
are always pointing to the North Star.” 
“Do all the other stars have names, too?” asked 
Marylee. 
“Yes, many of them do,” replied Uncle Jack. “Very 
interesting stories have been written about a great many 
of them. Some of the stories are very exciting. I may 
tell you some of them another time.”
