Tip looked at the saw-horse more
carefully, and found that the Pump

been formed from a tree-trunk, and a
branch had been left sticking up at
one end that looked very much like a
tail. In the other end were two big
knots that resembled eyes, and place

easily be mistaken for the horses

Job and (if everything has
gone according to schedule) Is in Los

I think he probably picked out Los
Angeles because that was the point
farthest away from Washington to
which he could go handily, and there
he would be assured that nobody con-
nected with the government would
call him up and ask him to do some
little job like raising a few billion
dollars.

Tip reflected. as they journeyed on,
that this was true. He began to re-
gret that he had not constructed the
wooden limbs more carefully and sub
stantially. Yet how could he ever
have guessed that the man he had
made merely to scare old Mombi with
would be brought to life by means of
a magical powder contained in an old
pepper box?
So he ceased to reproach himself,
and began to think how he might yet
remedy the deficiencies of Jacks weak
Joints.
While thus engaged they came to
the edge of wood, and the boy sat
down to rest upon an old saw horse
that some woodcutter had left there.
"Why don't you sit DOWN." he asked
the Pumpkinhead.

"Of course not. Itll rest them" de-
clared the boy.
So Jack tried to sit down; but as
soon as he bent his joints farther
than usual they gave way altogether,
and he came clattering to the ground
with such a crash that Tip feared he
was entirely ruined.

had been in no wise confused by his
tumble.
Tip sat down again. Presently the
Pumpkinhead asked:

abruptly:
