good-by, and they all shook hands
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 If am able" the
Scarecrow replied; but l must help
Dorothy to get home first"
AS Dorothy bade the good-natured
guardian 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 l am"
Don't try, my DEAR" he answered.
We should like to keep you with US.
but If it 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 we're all in
the best of spirits. and laughed and
chatted together. Dorothy was cnce
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
all the time.

along at brisk pace. Il have lost

now l am anxious for a chance tc

They now turned and took a las,

could see was mass Of towers anc

high up above everything the spires
and dome of the palace of Or.
