"Your Future Ruler, King Evardo Fifteenth"

What would become of it?" asked
the girl.
1T would be lost, as were your
silver shoes VIXEN you visited OF be-
fore, and no one would ever see it
again. 1t seems too bad to destroy
the use of the magic belt in that way,
doesn't it?"
Then said Dorothy, after n
moments thought, Il will give the
magic belt to OZma, for she can use
1t in her own country And she can
wish me transported to Uncle Henry
without losing the belt"
That is u wise plan," replied
Glinda.
So they rode back to the Emerald
City, and on the way it was arranged
that every Saturday morning OzIna
would look at Dorothy in her magic
picture, wherever the little girl
might chance to be. And if she saw
Dorothy make certain signal then
Ozma would know that the little
Kansas girl wanted to revisit the
Land of or and by means of tie
Nome Kings magic belt would wish
that she might instantly return.
This having been agreed upon Dor
othy bade good-by to all her friends.
Tiktok wanted to go to Australia,
too; but Dorothy knew that the
machine man would never do for q
servant in civilized country, and
the chances were that his machinery
wouldn't work at all. So she left
Kim in OZma's care.
Billina, on the contrary. preferred
the Land of or to any other country.
and refused to accompany Dorothy.

you are very foolish to go back
again into that stupid, humdrum
world again"
Uncle Henry needs me-" said
Dorothy, simply; and everyone eX-
cept Billina thought ii was right that
she should go.
All Dorothy's friends of the Land
of OZ-both old and new-gatherad
in group in front of the palace TO
bid her a sorrowful good-by and to
wish her. long life and happiness.
After much hand shaking. Dorothy
kissed Ozma once more. and then
handed her the Nome Kings magic
belt, saying:

Then the little girl stood on one
of tho big emeralds which decorated
the courtyard. and after looking once
again at each of her friends. she
waved her handkerchief.
The next thing Dorothy knew She
was standing beside her Uncle
Henry. Uncle Henry rubbed his
eyes a moment, as If he could scarce

the child discovered a horse and
buggy standing near group of trees
short distance away. She walked
toward 1T and found the horse tied
to tree standing motionless, with
its head hanging down almost to the
ground. 1t was a big horse, tall and
bony, with long legs and large knees
and feet. She could count his ribs
easily where they showed through
the skin of his body, and his head
was long and seemed altogether too
big for Kim, as if it did not fit. His
tail was short and scraggly, and his
harness had been broken in many
places and fastened together again
with cords and bits of wire. The
buggy seemed almost, for it had a
shiny top and side curtains. Getting
around in front, so she could look
inside. the girl saw a boy curled up
on the seat fast asleep.

Dorothy passed several very happy
weeks in the Land of OZ.as the guest
of the royal Ozma, who delighted
to please and interest the little Kan
sas girl. Many new acquaintances
, were formed and many old ones re-
newed, and wherever she went Dor
othy found herself among friends.
One day, however, as she sat in
! Ozma's private room, she noticed
! hanging upon the wall a picture
which constantly changed in appear
ance, at one time showing a meadow
and at another time a forest, lake
or village.
| How curious!" she exclaimed,
after watching the shifting scenes for
| Il few moments.
YES" said Ozma, that is really
n wonderful invention in magic. If
| | wish to see any part of the world
or any person living, L need only
express the wish and it is shown in
tke picture"
May L use it?" asked Dorothy,
eagerly.
"Of course, my dear"
Then I'd like to see the old Kan
sas farm, and Aunt En-" said the
| girl.
Instantly the well-remembered
/ farmhouse appeared in the picture
and Aunt En- could be seen quite
| plainly. She was engaged in wash
ing dishes by the kitchen window
and seemed quite well and contented.
The hired men and the teams were
. in the harvest fields behind the house
| and the corn and wheat seemed to
the child to be in prime condition.
On the side porch Dorothy's pet dog,
Toto, was lying fast asleep in the
: and fn n oil To-
was running around with a brood
of twelve new chickens trailing al
| ter her.
/ Everything seems all right at
lone" said Dorothy, with a sigh of
/ relief. Now ! wonder what Uncle
! Henry is doing"
( The scene of the picture at once
shifted to Australia, where, in .
pleasant room in Sydney, Uncle
Henry was seated in an easy chair,
solemnly smoking his briar pipe. FIe
looked sad and lonely, and his hair
was now quite white and his hands
and face thin and wasted.
Oh cried Dorothy, in an anxi-
GUS voice. I'm sure Uncle Henry
isn't getting any better. and it's be-
cause he is worried about me. Ozma
dear. I must go to him at once."
How can you?" asked Ozma.
doh Know, replied Dorothy;
but let us go to Glinda the Good.
I'm sure she will help me, and ed
wise me how to get to Uncle Henry"
Ozma readily agreed to this plan
and caused the Sawhorse to be har-
messed to pretty green and pink
phaeton, and the two girls rode away
to visit the famous sorceress.
Glinda received them graciously
and listened to Dorothy's story with
attention.
II have the magic belt. you know"
said the little girl. "If I buckled It
around my waist and commanded it
to take me to Uncle Henry. wouldn't
it do it?"
Il think So" replied Glinda, with
a smile.
And then" continued Dorothy.
IF ] ever wanted to come back here
again, the belt would bring me-"
Tn that you are wrong" said the
sorceress. The belt has magical
powers only while it is in some fairy
country, such as the Land of OF or
the Land of Ev. Indeed my little
friend. We're you to wear it and wish
yourself in Australia. with your uncle.
the wish would doubtless be fulfilled,
because it was made in fairyland.
But you would not find the magic
belt around you when you arrived at
your destination"

then drew her to him in happin ess
and kissed her.
Of course he had to hear all about
how she got to him, and how it hap
pened that she was not drowned,
after all, and all about her wonder
ful friends. But the next thing tEey
did was to plan a trip home.
1t did not take Uncle Henry long
to get well, and for them to pack up
and take a steamer for California.
How good it seems to ones own
country again. cried Dorothy,
many days later, when their ship
drew into port. Shall we start at
once for Kansas, or do you suppose

Yes, If YOU like" replied Uncle
Henry, and will go direct to Hug
sons Siding for visit with my
friend. Bill Hugson; you can join
me there and veil go on together

This is exactly what happened.
Uncle Henry went on to Hugson's
Siding and left Dorothy in care OF
