Mombi cast an uneasy glance At

in earnest, and not to be trihed with.
So she replied, slowly:
II will answer your questions.
THAT is what I expected" said
Glinda, pleasantly. "You have chosen

She then motioned to one OF her
Captains, who brought her a beat

"That is no answer" said Glinda,

"Well," returned Mombi, with
downcast eyes, "he visited me to

Look up!" commanded the Sorce-
ress.
Mombi obeyed. .,
"What is the color Of my pearl?"
demanded Glinda. =,
"Why-it is black" replied the old
Witch, in a tone of wonder.
Then you have told me false
hoodp' cried Glinda, angrily. Only
when the truth is spoken will my
magic pearl remain Aire white in
color"
Mombi now saw how useless it was
to try to deceive the Soreeress; sc
she said, meanwhile seowling at hel
defeat:
"The Wizard brought to me the
girl Ozma, who was then no more
than baby, and begged me to con
ceal the child"

Glinda, calmly. what did he givs

is useless for you to strug-
- any longer" said Glinda, in
her soft, sweet voice. "Lie still mo-
ment, and rest yourself, and then l
will carry you back to my tent"
"Why do you seek me-" asked
Mombi, still scarce able to speak
plainly for lack of breath. What
have ! done to you, to be so perse-
cuted?"
"You have done nothing to me-"
answered the gentle Sorceress; but
I suspect you have been guilty OF
several wicked actions; and if find
It 10 true that you have 80 abused
your knowledge of magic, / intend
to punish you severely"
Il defy your eroaked the old has.
"You dare not harm me"
Just then the Gump few up to
them and alighted upon the desert
sands beside Glinda. Our friends
were delighted to find that Mombi
had finally been captured, and after
a hurried consultation it was decided
they should all return to the camp
in the Gump. So the Saw-Horse was
tossed aboard, and then Glinda, still
holding an end of the golden thread
that was around Mombi's neck, forced
her prisoner to climb into the sofas.
The others now followed, and Tip
gave the word to the Gump to re-
urn.
The journey was made in safety,
Mombi sitting in her place with a
grim and sullen air; for the old hag
was absolutely helpless so long as
the magical thread encircled her
throat. The army hailed Glinda's re-
turn with loud cheers, and the party
of friends soon gathered again in the
5 royal tent, which had been neatly re-
paired during their absence.
Now" said the Sorceress to Nom,
bi, " want you to tell US why the
Wonderful Wizard of Or paid yor
three visits, and what became of the
>hild, Ozf1a, which so curiously dis
appeared"
The Witch looked at Glinda de-
iantly, but said not word.

But still Mombi remained silent.

Tip. "You might spoil everything
with your foolishness."

Unless she tells US what we wish to
know her capture will do us no good
at all"
Suppose we try Kindness" sug-
gested the Tin Woodman. "I've heard
that anyone can be conquered with
kindness, no matter how ugly they
may be-"
At this the Witch turned to glare
upon him SO horribly that the Tin
Woodman shrank back abashed.
Glinda had been carefully consid-
ering what to do, and now she turned
to Mombi and said:
"You will gain nothing, I assure
you, by thus defying us. For l am
determined to learn the truth about
the girl Ozma, and unless you tell
me all that you know, I will certainly
put you to death"

earthly view.
The Witch squatted upon the
ground and kindled tiny FIRE of dried
herbs. which she drew from her
bosom. When the blaze shot up snd
burned clearly old Mombi scattered

FIRE, which straightway gave of rich

Then, while the others watched
her euriously, the hag chantsd =

one understood, and bent her lean
body seven times back and forth over
the FIRE. And now the incantation
seemed complete, for the Witch stood

The vapor foated away; the atmos.

fresh air filled the tent, and the pink
curtains of the couch trembled slight
iy, as if stirred from within.
Glinda walked to the canopy and
parted the silken hangings. Then
she bent over the cushions, reached
out her hand, and from the couch
arose the form of young girl. fresh
and beautiful as a May morning. Her
4 ewes sparkled as two diamonds, and
her lips were tinted like tourmaline.
All adown her back foated tresses
of ruddy gold, with slender jeweled
circlet conhning them at the brow.
Her robes of silken gauze foated
around her like a cloud, and dainty
satin slippers shod her feet.
At this exquisite vision Tips old
comrades stared in wonder for the
space of full minute, and then every
head bent low in honest admiration
of the lovely Princess Ozma. The
girl herself cast one look into Glinda's
bright face, which glowed with pleas
ure and satisfaction, and then turned
upon the others. Speaking the words
with sweet difidence, she said:
II hope none of you will care less
for me than you did before. I'm just

"Only you're different! said the

Eight-year-old Kathryn Smith OF
Davenport, Ia, explained that she
thinks the world needs happy poems
in these sad war times, and so she
said: II started out this little verse
with lyric and ended it with
hilarity."
Here is the poem: -
"Oh, hush the morning skies above,
'Tis lovel 'Tis Lowell
And then at dawn
A child awakes to play;
He quickly dresses and runs out on
the lawn,
For 1t is now early in the day.
At breakfast time he had romped
enough
And had a fine play with his dog,
Fluff.
After breakfast he went with his
father to town
And met his friend, Jack,
Who had popcorn in a ss4k,
He offered some to the little boy,
Who accepted with the utmost joy
And now he bids you All Ahoyr"

The flag of Freedom is very gay.
We hope it will never 60 away;
We've sent our Sammies with great
speed
And also the best OF steed,
And when we fire,
Well aim at the kaiser's team;
And then We'll see him steam.
For he'll be blown to pieces,
And we'll all have pieces to grind
into the mil;
So we won't see kaiser Bill.
For he'll be ground up in the mill.
That's what I wish.

She was very slight and fair with .
lot of golden hair and big blue eyes.
Eva was the proud possessor OF .
black Shetland pony, called Duke.
But Duke despite all his beauty was
rather mean and also stubborn. One
fine morning Eva started out to town
on Duke. Everything weut along fine
until Duke got it into his head to
getscared at Z chunk beside the road.
With a snort he started down the
road. Eva could not do anything,
but hang on and pray for her life.
A barefooted boy with tangled hair
and sunburned face, was blowing in
4 field near by. Leaving his two
lazy horses to stand and switch, flies,
he jumped over the fence and rescued
the much frightened Eva from her
none too safe seat. When Eva got
home that morning, she got out all
her fairy story books and read about
all the noted heroes and knights sha
always honored, but none of them
now seemed half 50 brave as the little
barefooted boy. :
