head. but 1t had eyes and nose and
mouth. and was bigger than the head
of the biggest giant.
AS Dorothy gazed upon this in won
der and fear the eyes turned slowly
and looked at her sharply and steadily.
Then the mouth moved, and Dorothy
heard voice say:
Il am Or, the Great and Terrible.
Who are you, and why do you seek
me?"
1t was not such an awful voice as
she had expected to come from the
big head; so she took courage and an
swered:
Il am Dorothy, the Small and
Meek. l have come to you for help"
The eyes looked at her thoughtfully
for full minute. Then said the
voice:
Where did you get the silver
shoes?"
'I got them from the wicked Witch
of the East, when my house fell on
her and killed her." she replied.
Where did you get the mark upon
your forehead?" continued the voice.
That is where the good Witch of
the North kissed me when she bade
me good-by and sent me to you" said
the girl.
Again the eyes looked at her sharp
ly, and they saw she was telling the
truth. Then Or asked:
What do you wish me to do?"
Send me back to Kansas, where my
Aunt EN- and Uncle Henry are" she
answered, earnestly. 81 don't like your
country, although it is so beautiful.
And l am sure Aunt EN- will be dread
fully worried over my being away so
long"
The eyes winked three times, and
then they turned up to the ceiling and
down to the floor and rolled around SO
queerly that they seemed to see every
part of the room. And at last they
looked at Dorothy again.
"Why should l do this for your

weak; because you are a Great Wiz
ard and I am only a helpless little
girl" she answered.
But you were strong enough to kill
the wicked Witch of the East,
said Or.
That just happened" returned
Dorothy simply; 81 could not help it.
Well" said the head. Il will give
you my answer. You have no right
to expect me to send you back to
Kansas unless you do something for

she looked upon him aweetly, and
said:
Il am Or, the Great and Terrible.
Who are you. and why do you seek
me?"
Now the Scarecrow, who had ex-
pected to see the great head Dorothy
had told him of, was much astonished;
but he answered her brayely.
Il am only Scarecrow, stuffed with
straw. Therefore l have no brains.
and l come to you praying that you
will put brains in my head instead Of
straw, SO that may become as much
man as any other in your domin-
ions"
why should 1 do this for you?"
asked the lady.
Because you are wise and power.
full, and no one else can help me-" an
swered the Scarecrow.
81 never grant favors without some
return" said Or; but this much
will promise: If you will kill for me
the Wicked Witch of the West will
bestow upon you great many brains,
and such good brains that you will be
the wisest man in all the Land of o."
81 thought you asked Dorothy to
kill the Witch" said the Scarecrow, in
surprise.
$50 l did. I don't care who kills
her. But until she is dead l will not
grant your wish. Now go, and do not
seek me again until you have earned
the brains you so greatly DESIRE"
| The Scarecrow went sorrowfully
back to his friends and told them
surprised to find that the great Wizard
was not a head, as she had seen him.
but lovely lady.
"All the same" said the Scarecrow.
''she needs a heart as much as the
| Tin Woodman."
On the next morning the soldier
with the green whiskers came to the
Tin Woodman and said:
"Oz has sent for you. Follow me-"
So the Tin Woodman followed him
and came to the great throne room.
He did not know whether he would
find Or lovely lady or head, but he
hoped it would be the lovely lady.
For" he said to himself, 'if it is the
head. l am sure | shall not be given
a heart since head has no heart OF
its own and therefore cannot feel for
me. But if it is the lovely lady l
shall beg hard for heart. for all la
dies are themselves said to be kindly
hearted"
But when the Woodman entered the
great throne room he saw neither the
head nor the lady, for Or had taken
the shape of most terrible beast. 1t
was nearly as big as an elephant, and
the green throne seemed hardly strong
enough to hold it's weight. The beast
had head like that of rhinoceros.
only there were five eyes in its face.
There were five long arms growing
out of its body and it also had five
long, slim legs. Thick woolly hair
covered every part of it, and more
dreadful looking monster could not be
imagined. 1t was fortunate the Tin
Woodman had no heart at that mo-
ment, for it would have beat loud and
fast from terror. But being only tin,
the Woodman was not at all afraid, al
though he was much disappointed.
81 am Or. the Great and Terrible"
spake the beast. in a voice that was
one great roar. who are you, and
why do you seek me?"
Il am Woodman, and made of tin.
Therefore l have no heart, and can
not love. I pray you to give me a
heart that may be as other men are"
why should l do this?" demanded
the beast.
Because l ask it. and you alone
can grant my request" answered the
Woodman.

DENVER DEALER ALLEGED TO
HAVE MADE A SPECIALITY OF
SWINDLING WIDOWS.
SEVEN YEAR SENTENCE
CHANGED HIS NAME AND FLED
TO SAN FRANCISCO BUr WAS
BROUGHT BACK.

Denver.-From six to seven years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary was
the heavy penalty imposed by Judge
Greeley Whitford in the West Side
Court Monday on A. B. Cole. the bro
ker who was alleged . have buncoed
widows and others out of their earn
ings on fake investment schemes.
Coles alleged crooked work was dis
covered last February and he at once
gave up his elegant offices in the
Toltec building and fled to San Fran
cisco, where he was successful in
eluding the officers of the law for two
months, when he was captured and
brought back to this city for trial
Wealthy friends have come forward
with funds to assist Cole in fighting
his case and this, together with the
amount which he saved out of his al
legged vast swindling transactions, not
only kept him in luxury while fug-
tive from this state. but afforded him
the best legal talent in his trial. AS
sistant District Attorney Omar Gar
wood handled the case for the state.
At the time of Coles alleged fake
transactions and his dropping out of
the city, the police kept the case well,
under cover and nothing was pub
lished of the affair until Coles cap.
ture was effected in San Francisco.
While in this city he was one of the
best known brokers here. He came
two years ago from New York, where
he claimed to be running branch Of
fice,' and where his record was in
vestigated without result. 1t is be-
lieved that he operated there under an
alias.
Upon his arrival in this city he took
an expensive suite of rooms in the
Toltec building and carried on exten-
sive trasactions, picking out widows,
as a rule. it is said, for his alleged
shady deals.
Last February Mrs. J. Leahy of Pu-
eblo was enticed by Cole, it was
charged in the trial, to invest in
realty in Pueblo to the extent of $2,-
100, large proportion of the prop
erty which the widow possessed.
Deeds were signed and turned over to
Mrs. Leahy and she thought nothing
of the transaction until a relative, who
is an attorney, happened to look over
the deeds and saw that they were
filled with flaws. Cole is alleged to
have gone SO far in his crooked work
as to hire bogus attorney to draw
up" the fake papers.
Mrs. Leahy at once came on to Den
yer and placed the case in the hands
of the district attorney.
Cole got word that his record was
being investigated and he at once
closed up shop, sold what articles Of
furniture he could, and pocketing all
the money he could lay his hands on,
it is said, went to California.
There he lived in luxury under the
alias of Samuel Golden, it was alleged
Through the work of the Denver po
lice, information was gained that Cole
was in San Francisco and Officers
were detailed in that city to place him
! under arrest.
Cole was convicted on two counts
of grand larceny.

CHAPTER xI.-Continued.

She left Dorothy alone and went
back to the others. These she also
led to rooms, and each one of them
found himself lodged in a very pleas
ant part of the palace. OF course this
politeness was wasted on the Scare
crow; for when he found himself alone
in his room he stood stupidity in one
spot, just within the doorway, to wait
till morning. 1t would not rest him
to lie down, and he could not close his
eyes, so he remained all night staring
at a little spider which was weaving
its web in corner of the room, just
as IL it were not one OF the most won
derful rooms in the world. The Tin
Woodman lay down on his bed from
force of habit, for he remembered
when he was made of flesh; but not
being able to sleep he passed the night
moving his joints up and down to
make sure they kept in good working
order. The Lion would have preferred
a bed of dried leaves in the forest, and
did not like being shut up in a room;
but he had too much sense to let this
worry him, so he sprang upon the bed
and rolled himself up like cat and
purred himself asleep in minute.
The next morning. after breakfast.
the green maiden came to fetch Dor
othy, and she dressed her in one of
the prettiest gowns-made Of green
brocaded satin. Dorothy put on
green silk apron and tied a green rib
bon around Toto's neck, and they
started for the throne room of the
Great Or.
First they came to a great hall in
which were many ladies and gentle
men OF the court, all dressed in rich
costumes. These people had nothing
to do but talk to each other, but they
always came to wait outside the
throne room every morning, although
they were never permitted to see Or.
AS Dorothy entered they looked at her
curiously, and one Of them whispered:
Are you really going to look upon
the face of Or the Terrible?"
"Of course" answered the girl, 'If
he will see me-"
"Oh, he will see you" said the SOL
dier, who had taken her message to
the Wizard. although he does not
like to have people ask to see him.
Indeed, at first he was angry, and said
/ should send you back where you
came from. Then he asked me what
you looked like, and when l men
toned your silver shoes he was very
much interested. AT last l told him
about the mark upon your forehead,
and he decided he would admit you to
his presence"
Just then a bell rang, and the green
girl said to Dorothy:
THAT is the signal. You must go
into the throne room alone"
She opened little door and Doro-
thy walked boldly through and found
herself in wonderful place. 1t was
a big, round room with high arched
roof, and the walls and ceiling and
floor were covered with large emer-
aids set closely together. In the cen
ter of the roof was great light, as
bright as the sun, which made the en-
eralds sparkle in wonderful manner.
But what interested Dorothy most
was the big throne of green marble
that stood in the middle of the room.
1t was shaped like chair and spar
kled with gems. as did everything
else. In the center of the chair was
an enormous head. without body to
support 1t or any arms or legs what
over. There was no hair upon this
