Dorothy nodded yrsvely and the
Queen made courtesy, after which
she became quite friendly with the
liitie girl.
The Scarecrow and the Woodman
now began TO fasten the mice 10 the
truck. using the strings they had
brought. One end OF string was tied
around the neck % each mouse and
the other end to the truck or course
the truck was a thousand times big
ger than any OF the mice who were
TO draw II: but when all the mic"
lad been harnessed they were able 10
pull IL quite easily. Even the Scare
crow and the Tin Woodman could sit
on IL. and were drawn swiftly by their
queer little horses to the place where
the Lion lay asleep.
After a great deal OF hard work. for
the Lion was heavy. they managed to
get him up on the truck. Then the
Queen hurriedly gave her people the
order TO start. for she feared II the
mice stayed among the peoples too
long they also would fall asleep.
Al first the little creatures. many

the heavily loaded truck: but the
Woodman and the Scarecruw both
pushed from behind. and they got
along better Soon they rolled the
Lion out OF the poppy bed TO the
green fields. where he could breathe
the sweet, fresh air again. instead of
the poisonous scent of the flowers.
Dorothy came to meet them and
thanked the little mice warmly for
saving her companion from death.
She had grown SO fond OF the big Lion
she was glad he had been rescued.
Then the mice were embarrassed
from the truck and scampered away
through the grass TO their homes. The
Queen of the Mice was the last TO
leave.
II ever you need us again. she
said. come out into the field and call.
and We shall hear YOU and come to
your assistance. Good.by'"
''Good.by," they all answered. and
away the Queen ran. while Dorothy
held Toto tightly lest he should run
after her and frichten her
After this they sat down beside the
Lion until he should awaken: and the
Scarecrow brought Dorothy some fruit

crnses permitting them 10 sell bottled
liquor goods.

At this the Queen OF the Mice stuck
her head out from Clump OF grass

"Are you sure he will not bite u.s.
Il will not let him." said the Wood
man: so do not be afraid.
One by one the mice came creeping
back. and Toto did not bark again.

Woodman's arms. and would have bit

"A lion!" cried the little Queen:

He says so himself" answered the
Scarecrow. and he would never hurt

"oh, yes; there are thousands" she
replied.
Then send for them all to come

The Queen turned to the mice that
attended her and told them to go at
once and get all her people. AS soon
