to rescue this bold army. Come with
me, and we will do the best we can"
So, Ozma and Dorothy having al
ready dismounted from their backs,
the Lion and the Tiger leaped back
again under the awful hammer and
returned with two generals clinging
to their necks. They repeated this
daring passage twelve times, when
all the officers had been carried be-
meath the giants legs. and landed
safely on the further side. BY that
time the beasts were very tired and
painted so hard that their tongues
hung out of their great mouths.
But what is to become of the pri-
vate?" asked Ozma.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-13
The private then let himself drop upon the scarecrow

"oh, leave him there to guard
the chariot" said the Lion. I'm
tired out and won't pass under that
mallet again."
The officers at once protested that
| they must have the private with
them. else there would be no one for
them to command. But neither the
Lion or the Tiger would go after
him. and so the Scarecrow sent the
Sawhorse.
Either the wooden horse was care
less, or it failed to properly time
the descent of <ne hammer, for the
upon it's head and thumped it against
the ground so powerfully that the
private flew off it's back high into
the air, and landed upon one of the
giants cast-iron arms. Here he
clung desperately while the arm rose
and fell with each one of the rapid
strokes.
The Scarecrow dashed in to rescue
his Sawhorse. and had his left foot
smashed by the hammer before he
could pull the creature out of dang
er. They then found that the Saw
horse had been badly dazed by the
blow, for while the hard wooden
knot of which his head was formed
mer. both legs were broken off and
he would be unable to hear a sound
until some new ones were made for
him. Also his left knee was cracked,
and had to be bound up with a
string.
Billina having fiuttered under the
hammer, it now remained only TO
rescue the private who was riding
upon the iron giants arm. high in
the air.
The Scarecrow lay fiat upon the
ground and called to the man to
jump down upon his body, which
was soft because it was stuffed with
straw. This the private managed to
do, waiting until time when he
was nearest the ground and then let
ting himself drop upon the Scare
crow. He accomplished the feat
without breaking any bones. and the
Scarecrow declared he was not in
jured in the least.
Therefore, the Tin Woodman hav-
ing by this time fitted new ears to
the Sawhorse, the entire party pro-
ceeded upon it's way, leaving the
giant to pound the path behind them.
BY and by, when they drew near
to the mountain that blocked their
path and which was the furthermost
edge of the Kingdom of Ev, the way
grew dark and gloomy for the rea-
son that the high peaks on either
side shut out the sunshine. And
it was very silent. too. as there
were no birds to sing or squirrels
to chatter. the trees being left far

The Giant With the Hammer

Meantime the giant continued to
raise his iron mallet high in the air
and to strike the path terrific blows
that echoed thru the mountains like
the roar of a cannon. Each time the
mallet lifted, however. there was a
moment when the path beneath the
monster was free, and perhaps the
Scarecrow had noticed this. for when
he came back to the other he said
The matter is n very simple one.
after all We have but to run under
the hammer one at a time, when it
is lifted, and pass to the other side
before it falls again
1T will require quick work, if
we escape the blow" said the Tin
Woodman. with shake of his head
But it really seems the only thing
to be done. Who will make the first
attempt?"
They looked at one another hesi-
tatingly for a moment. Then the
Cowardly Lion, who was trembling
like leaf in the wind. said to them

cession must go first-and that's me

and eyed the swinging mallet care
fully until he knew just the instant
it would begin to rise in the air.
Then, before anyone thought he
was ready, he made a sudden leap
straight between the iron giants
legs, and before the mallet struck
the ground again the Lion and Ozma
were safe on the other side.
The Tiger went next. Dorothy sat
upon his back and locked her arms
around mis- striped neck, for he had
no name to cling to. He made the
leap straight and true as an arrow
from a bow, and ere Dorothy realiz-
cd it she was out of danger and
standing by Ozmas side.
Now came the Scarecrow on the
sawhorse. and while they made the
dash in safety they were within a
hairs breadth of being caught by
the descending hammer.
Tiktok walked up to the very
edge of the spot the hammer struck,
and as it was raised for the next
blow he calmly stepped forward and
escaped its descent. That was an
idea for the Tin Woodman to fol-
low, and he also crossed in safety
while the great hammer was in the
air. But when 1t came to the twcn-
ty-six officers and the private. their
knees were so weak that they could
not walk a step.
In battle we are wonderfully
courageous" said one of the gem
erals, "and our foes find us very ter
rible to face. But war is one thing
and this is another. When it comes
to being pounded upon the head by
an iron hammer. and smashed into
pancakes, We naturally object"
Make a run for it," urged the
Scarecrow.
Our knees shake so that we can
not rum" answered a captain. IF
we should try it we would all GER
tainly be pounded to jelly"
We'll, WELL" sighed the Cowardly
Lion, "I see, friend Tiger, that we
must place ourselves in great danger
