strong chains upon both her wrists.
That act really ended the war; for
the Army of Revolt submitted as soon
as they knew Jinjur to be a captive,
and the Captain marched in safety
thru the streets and up to the gates of
the city, which she threw wide open.
Then the bands played their most
stirring music while Glinda's army
marched into the city, and heralds
cious Jinjur and the accession of the
beautiful Princess Ozma to the throne
of her royal ancestors.
At once the men of the Emerald
City cast off their aprons. And 1t is
said that the women were so tired eat
ing of their husbands cooking that
they all hailed the conquest of Jinjur
with Joy. Certain it is that, rushing
one and all to the kitchens of their
houses. the good wives prepared so de-
licious feast for the weary men that
harmony was Immediately restored In
every family.
Ozma's first act was to oblige the
Army of Revolt to return to her every
emerald or other gem stolen from the
public streets and buildings; and so
great was the number of precious
stones picked from their settings by
these vain girls, that every one of the
royal jewelers. worked steadily for
more than a month to replace them
in their settings.
Meantime the Army of Revolt was
disbanded and the girls sent home to
their mothers. On promise of good
behavior, Jinjur was likewise released.
Ozna made the loveliest Queen the
Emerald City had ever known; and,
altho she was so young and inexperi-
enced, she ruled her people with wis
dom and Justice. For Glinda gave her
good advice on all occasions: and the

important post of Public Educator.

London, Oct. Is. - With General
Denekine's Cossack army advancing
from south and northwestern Rus
sia, and his forces almost within strik-
ing distance of Petrograd the soviet
government of Russia appears to be
facing a crisis. Bolshevik headquar-
ters at Petrograd were closed last
Thursday, according to a dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Revel.
The Northwestern Russian army
has apparently crashed through the
Bolshevik lines over a wide front.
Spkov has been captured, and it is
believed that the forces, under General
Yudenitch, have also taken the i'm
portant town of Luga, about IS miles
southwest of Petrograd. The capture
of hamburg, rs miles from Petrograd.
was reported Monday, and latest dis
patches indicated the line of advance
to be nearly 125 miles in length.
On the south, Denekine troops. it
appears, have approached quite near
the town of Tula, which is considered
the key to Moscow on that side. A
dispatch received here says, that if
Tala falls to the Cossacks the Boil
shevik commissaries will flee into
Turkestan.
