crow. You are quite welcome to take
my head off. as long as it will be
better one when you put it on again"
So the Wizard unfastened his Fad
and emptied out the straw. Then he
entered the back room and took up a
measure Of bran, which he mixed with
great many pins and needles. Hav-
ing shaken them together thoroughly.
he filled the top of the Scarecrows
head with the mixture and stuffed the
rest of the space with straw. to hold
it in place. When he had fastened
the Scarecrow's head on his body
again he said to him:
Hereafter you will be great man,
for | have given you lot of bran-new
brains
The Scarecrow was both pleased
and proud at the fulfillment of his
greatest wish, and having thanked OF
warmly he went back to his friends.
Dorothy looked at him curiously.
His head was quite bulging out at the
top with brains.
How do you feel?" she asked.

earnestly. When l get used to my
brains l shall know everything
why are those needles and pins
sticking out OF your head?" asked the
Tin Woodman.
That is proof that he is sharp" re-
marked the Lion.
We'll, must go to Or and get my
heart" said the Woodman. So he
walked to the throne room and
knocked at the door.
Come in" called Or, and the Wood
man entered and said:
Il have come for my heart"
Very WELL" answered the little
man But | shall have to cut a hole
in your breast, SO l can put your
heart in the right place. l hope it
won't hurt you"
"Oh. no." answered the Woodman.
81 shall not feel it at all
So Or brought a pair of timers
shears and cut a small. square hole in
the left side of the Tin Woodman'
breast. Then, going to a chest of
drawers, he took out a pretty heart,
made entirely of silk and stuffed with
sawdust.
Isn't it beauty" he asked.
at is, indeed" replied the Wood
man, who was greatly pleased. But
is it kind hearth"
"Oh, very!" answered Or. He put
the heart in the Woodman's breast
and then replaced the square of tin,
soldering it neatly together where it
had been cut.
There" said he; now you have a
heart that any man might be proud Of.
I'm sorry had to put patch on your
breast. but it really couldn't be
helped"
Never mind the patch" exclaimed
the happy Woodman. 81 am very
grateful to you. and shall never for
get your kindness"
Don't speak of it, replied Or.
Then the Tin Woodman went back
to his friends, who wished him every
joy on account of his good fortune.
The Lion now walked to the throne
room and knocked at the door.
Come in" said Or.
81 have come for my courage" an
nounced the Lion, entering the room.
Very well,' answered the little
man; II will get it for you"
He went to cupboard and reaching
up to high shelf took down a square
green bottle, the contents of which he
poured into green-gold dish, beauti-
fully carved. Placing this before the
Cowardly Lion, who shifted at it as
If he did not like it, the Wizard said:
Drink"
What is it?" asked the Lion.
WELL" answered Or. "if it were
inside Of you, it would be courage.
You know, of course. that courage is
always inside one; so that this really
cannot be called courage until you
have swallowed it. Therefore l ad-
wise you to drink it as soon as pos
sible."
The Lion hesitated no longer, but
drank till the dish was empty.
How do you feel now?" asked o.
Full of courage" replied the Lion.
who went joyfully back to his friends
to tell them Of his good fortune.
Or, left to himself. smiled to think
Of his success in giving the Scarecrow
and the Tin Woodman and the Lion
exactly what they thought they
wanted. How can help being a
humbug." he said, when all these peo-
pie make me do things that everybody
knows can't be done? 1t was easy to
make the Scarecrow and the Lion and
the Woodman happy, because they
