The korrigans are the black dwarfs
of Brittany who dwell in the sacred
Druidic circles of the menhirs and
count their cash in the moonshine
When mere mortals encounter them
by night the korrigans force their
visitors to dance with them around
and around singing monotonously the
names of the days Of the week from
Monday to Sunday This is the theme
of the best known tradition dealing
with them, the story of Lao and the
korrigans. Lao was prize piper and
came to set the dance at the pardon
of Armor. Women, terrified at their
discovery of a korrigan town, be-
sought him to avoid the little black
folk. but he. laughed them down.
Bravely enough he went to the korri-
gan town, but terror came over him
in the dark when he heard whispered
sounds and dimly saw dark shadows
marching with him in the gloom.
Then the moon rose and the little
creatures bade him play for their
dance. All night long he played upon

~How can get to her cas,le," asked


Dorothy.
"The road is straight to the south"
he answered. but 1t is said to be full
OF dangers to travellers. There are
wild beasts in the woods. and race
of queer men who do not like stran-
gers to cross their country. For this
reason none of the Quadlings ever
come to the Emerald City"
The soldier then left them and the
Scarecrow said:
1T seems, in spite OF dangers, that
the best thing Dorothy can do Is to
travel to the Land of the South and
ask Glinda to help her. For of course,
II Dorothy stays here she will never
get back to Kansas"
You must have been thinking
again." remarked the Tin Woodman.

the Lion. for | am tired OF your city

That Is true" agreed the Wood
man. My AK may be OF service to
her: so |. also. will so with her to the
Land OF the South
When shall we START" asked the
Scarecrow.
Are you going?" they asked. in
surprise.
Certainly. II it wasn't for Dorothy
should never have had brains. She
lifted me from the pole in the corn
field and brought me to the Emerald
City. So my good luck is all due to
her. and | shall never leave her until
she starts back to Kansas for good
and all"
Thank YOU" said Dorothy. CRATE

with the green soldier with the green
whiskers. who had walked with them
as far as the gate When the Guar
dian OF the Gate saw them again he
wondered greatly that they could leave
the beautiful city to get into new trou-
BILE But he at once unlocked their
spectacles. which he put back into the
green box. and gave them many good
wishes to carry with them.
You are now our ruler" he said to
the Scarecrow: so you must come
back to us as soon as possible
Il certainly shall II | am able" the
Scarecrow replied; but must help
Dorothy to get home first"
As Dorothy bade the good-natured
guardian n last farewell. she said:
Il have been very kindly treated in
your lovely city. and every one has
been good TO me. | cannot tell you
how grateful ! am"
Don't try. my dear" he answered.
We should like to keep you with us,
but II II is your wish TO return TO Kan
sas hope you will find a way" He
then opened the gate of the outer wall
and they walked forth and started
upon their jorney.
The sun shone brightly as our
friends turned their faces toward the
Land of the South. They were all in
the best OF spirits, and laughed and
chatted together. Dorothy was once
more filled with the hope OF getting
home. and the Scarecrow and the Tin
Woodman were glad to be of use to
her. As for the Lion. he shifted the
fresh air with delight and whisked his
tail from side TO side in pure joy of
being in the country again. while Toto
ran around them and chased the
moths and butterflies, barking merrily

along at brisk pace. Il have lost
much flesh since | lived there, and
now | am anxious for a chance TO

They now turned and took a last
look at the Emerald City. All they
could see was mass of towers and
steeples behind the green walls. and
high up above everything the spires
and dome of the palace of OF.
