"He enabled us to escape the rebels,
added the Scarecrow.
Then we must surely accept him as
a comrade," declared the Emperor.
"A live Saw Horse is distinct
novelty, aud should prove an interest

Well, I cannot claim any great ex-
pericnce in life" the Saw-Horse
answered for himself; but l seem to

'Nonsense," said the Emperor--but
in kindly, sympathetic tone. DO
not, / beg of you. dampen today's sun
with the showers of tomorrow For
before your head has time to spoil you
can have It canned. aud in that way
it may be preserved indefinitely"
Tip, during this conversations was
looking at the Woodman with un-
disguised amazement. and noticed that
the celebrated Emperor of the Wrinkles
was composed entirely of pieces Of
TIM neatly soldered and rjveted to-
gether into a form Of a man. He
ratified and cIanked a little, as he
moved, but In the main he seemed to
he most cIeverly constructed. and his
appearance was only marred by tue
thick coating of polishing paste that
covered him from head to foot
The boys intent gaze caused the
Tin Woodman to remember that he
was not in the most preseutable con-
dition. so he begged hia friends to ex-
cuse him while he retired to his
private apartment and allowed his
servants to polish him This was ac-
complished in a short time, and when
the Emperor returned his nickel l-plat-
ed body shone so gnflcentIy that
the Scarecrow heartily congratulate
him on his improved appearance.

that don't work both ways" answered
the Scarecrow, and these females are
also of the opinion that men have
ruled the land long enough, So they
have captured my city. robbed the
treasury of all its jewels, and are
running things to suit themselves"
Dear me, What an extraordinary
idea" cried the Emperor. who was
both shocked and surprised
And I heard some Of them say"
said Tip, that they intend to march
here and capture the castle and city
Of the Tin Woodman."
"Ah! we must not give them time TO
do that" said the Emperor, quickly,
we will go at once and recapture the
Emerald city and place the Scarecrow
again upon his throne"

The Emperor called his Lord High
Chancellor and instructed him how to
run the kingdom during his absence,
Meanwhile the Scarecrow was taken
apart and the painted sack that serv-
ed him for head was carefully
lauudered and Resulted with the
brains originally given him by the
great Wizard. His clothes were also
cleaned aud pressed by the Imperial
tailors, and his crown polished and
again sewed upon his head, for the
rim Woodman insisted he should not
renouuce this badge of royalty. The
Scarecrow now presented a very re-
spectacle appearance, aud although in
no way addicted to vanity he was
quite pleased with himself and strut
ted trihe as he walked While this
was being done Tip meuded the
wooden limbs of Jack Pumpkinhead
aud made them stronger than before,
and the Saw~Horse was also inspected
to see If he was in good working
order
Then bright and early the next
morning they set out upon the return
journey TO the Emerald city, the Tin
Woodman bearing upon his shoulder
a cleaning ak and leading the way.
While the Pumpkinhead rode upon the
Saw-fiorse and Ttp.and the Scagecrow
walked upon either side to make sure
that he didn't fan Off or become
damaged,

Yes; the Saw-Horse is brave and
fearless answered Jack. forgetting
his recent quarrel with the ouadruped.
The Tin Woodman looked around
him in puzzled way, for the Saw
Horse had until now remained quietly
standing in a corner, where the EN-
peror had not noticed him. Tin i'm
