The men. Dorothy thought, were
about as old as Uncle Henry, for two
Of them had boards. But the little
woman was doubtless much older; her
face was covered with wrinkles, her
hair was nearly white, and she walked
rather stiffly.
When these people drew near the
house where Dorothy was standing
in the doorway, they paused and whis-
pered among themselves, as If afraid
to come farther. But the little old
woman walked up to Dorothy. made a
low bow and said, in sweet voice:
You are welcome. most noble Sor-
ceress, to the land of the Munchkins
We are so grateful to you for having
killed the wicked Witch of the East,
and for setting our people free from
bondage"
Dorothy listened to this speech with
wonder. What could the little woman
possibly mean by calling her sor-
ceress, and saying she had killed the
wicked Witch of the East? Dorothy
was an innocent, harmless little girl.
The Glenwood post., 1909-08-28

Dorothy lived in the midst of the
great Kansas prairies. with Uncle
Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt
EN-, who was the farmers wife. Their
house was small, for the lumber to
build 1t had to be carried by wagon
many miles. There were four walls,
a floor and roof, which made one
room; and this room contained rusty
looking cooking stove. a cupboard for
the dishes, table, three or four
chairs. and the beds. Uncle Henry
and Aunt EN- had big bed in one
corner, and Dorothy little bed in an
other corner. There was no garret at
ALL and no cellar-eXcept a small hole,
dug in the ground, called cyclone
cellar, where the family could go in
case one of those great whirlwinds
arose, mighty enough to crush any
building in its path. 1t was reached
by a trap-door in the middle of the
floor. from which a ladder led down
into the small. dark hole.
When Dorothy stood in the doorway
and looked around. she could see moth
ing but the great gray prairie on every
the broad sweep of fiat country that
reached the edge of the sky in all d.
rections. The sun had baked the
plowed land into gray mass, with
little cracks running through it. Even
the grass was not green. for the sun
had burned the tops of the long blades
until they were the same gray color
to be seen everywhere. Once the
house had been painted, but the sun
blistered the paint and the rains
washed it away, and now the house
was as dull and gray as everything
else

They had taken the sparkle from her
eyes and left them a sober gray; they
had taken the red from her cheeks
and lips. and they were gray also.
She was thin and gaunt, and never
smiled. now. When Dorothy, who was
an orphan, first came to her, Aunt En-
had been so startled by the child 8
laughter that she would scream and
press her hand upon her heart when
ever Dorothy's merry voice reached
her ears: and she still looked at the
little girl with wonder that she could
find anything to laugh at.
Uncle Henry never laughed. He
worked hard from morning till night
and did not know what joy was. He
was gray also. from his long beard tc
his rough boots, and he looked stern
and solemn. and rarely spoke.

gray as her other surroundings. Tote

But the little woman evidently ex-

the little old woman, with a laugh

she continued, pointing to the corner
of the house; there are her two toes,

'Oh, dear, oh, dear." cried Dorothy

But who was she?" asked Dorothy.

Dorothy had not been lying on the soft
bed she might have been hurt. AS it
was, the jar made her catch her breath
and wonder what had happened: and
Toto put his cold little nose into her
face and whined dismally. Dorothy
sat up and noticed that the house was
not moving: nor was it dark, for the
bright sunshine came in at the win
dow, flooding the little room. She
sprang from her bed and with Toto at
her heels ran and opened the door.
The little girl gave a cry of amaze
ment and looked about her. her eyes
growing bigger and bigger at the won
derful sights she saw.
The cyclone had set the house down,
very gently-for cyclone-in the
midst of a country of marvellous beau
ty. There were lovely patches of green
sward all about with stately trees
bearing rich and luscious fruits Banks
of gorgeous flowers were on every
hand, and birds with rare and brilliant
plumage sang and fluttercd in the
trees and bushes. A little way off was
small brook, rushing and sparkling
along between green banks, and muir
muring in a voice very grateful to
a little girl who had lived so long on
the dry, gray prairies.
While she stood looking eagerly at
the strange and beautiful sights, she
noticed coming toward her a group of
the queerest people she had ever seen.
They were not as big as the grown
folk she had always been used to; but
neither were they very small. In fact,
they seemed about as tall as Dorothy
who was well-grown child for her
age. although they were. so far as
looks go. many years older.

ing storm. There now came q sharp
whistling in the air from the south.
and as they turned their eyes that way
they saw ripples in the grass coming
from that direction also.
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
There's a cyclone coming, EN-" he
called to his wife; "I'll 60 look after
the stock" Then he ran toward the
sheds where the cows and horses were
kept.
Aunt En- dropped her work and
came to the door. One glance told her
of the danger close at hand.
Quick, Dorothy" she screamed;
run for the cellar!"
Toto jumped out of Dorothy's arms
and hid under the bed. and the girl
started to get him. Aunt EN-. badly
frightened. threw open the trap-door
in the floor and climbed down the lad
der into the small, dark hole. Dorothy
caught Toto at last, and started to
follow her aunt. When she was half
way across the room there came
great shrek from the wind, and the
house shook so hard that she lost her
footing and sat down suddenly upon
the floor
A strange thing then happened.
The house whirled around two or
three times and rose slowly through
the air. Dorothy felt as if she were
going up in a balloon.
The north and south winds met
where the house stood, and made it
the exact center of the cyclone. In
the middle of cyclone the air is gen
orally still, but the great pressure of the
wind on every side of the house raised
it up higher and higher. until it was at
the very top of the cyclone; and there
it remained and was carried miles and
miles away as easily as you could car
ry feather.
1t was very dark, and the wind
nowled horribly around her, but Doro-
thy found she was riding quite easily.
After the first few whirls around, and
one other time when the house tipped
badly. she felt as if she were being
rocked gently, like a baby in cradle.
Toto did not like it. He ran about
the room, now here now there. bark
ing loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still
on the floor and waited TO see what
would happen.
Once Toto got too near the open
trap door. and fell in; and at first the
little girl thought she had lost him.
But soon she saw one of his ears
sticking up through the hole, for the
strong pressure of the air was keeping
him up so that he could not fall. She
crept to the hole, caught Toto by the
ear, and dragged him into the room
again; afterward closing the trap
door so that no more accidents could
happen.
Hour after hour passed away. and
slowly Dorothy got over her fright:
but she felt quite lonely, and the wind
shrieked so loudly all about her that
she nearly became deaf. At first she
had wondered if she would be dashed
to pieces when the house fell again:
but as the hours passed and nothing
terrible happened, she stopped worry
ing and resolved to wait calmly and
see what the future would bring At
last she crawled over the swaying
floor to her bed and lay down upon
it; and Toto followed and lay down
beside her.
In spite of the swaying of the house
and the wailing of the wind. Dorothy
soon closed her eyes and fell fast
asleep.
