"aooray!" shouted the scarecrow,
gaiiy. I'VE can now leave this miser-
able J~sckdsws' nest whenever we
please"
But It Is nearly dark" said the
Tin Woodman: and ualess we walt
until morning to make flight we
may get into more trouble, ! don't
like these night trips, for one never
knows what will happen
So II was decided to walt until day
light, and the adventures amused
themselves In the twilight by search
ing the Jackdaw's nest for treasures.
some bracelets Of gold, which fitted
his slender arms very well. The Scare
crow took a fancy for rings, of which
there were many In the nest, Before
long he had fitted a ring to each finger
Of his padded gloves, and not being
more to each thumb. As he carefully
chose those rings set with sparkling
stones, such as rubies amethysts and
%sapphires, the Soarecrow's hands now
presented a most brilliant appearance.
This nest would be a picnic for
Queen J%injur,' said he musingly; "for
as nearly as | can make out she and
her girls conquered me merely to rob
my city Of its emeralds."
The Tin Woodman was content with
his diamond necklace and refused to
accept any additional decoration, but
Tip secured a fin gold watch, which
was attached to a heavy fob, and placed
II In his pocket with much pride. He
also pinned several jeweled brooches
to Jack Pumpkinhead's red wa stcoat,
and attached a lorgnette, by mean of
. fine chain, TO the neck Of the Saw
Horse.
IT'S very pretty" said the creature,
regarding the lorguette approvingly;
but what II II for?"
None OF them could answer that ques-
ton, however; go the Saw-Horse de-
cidsd II was some rare decoration and
became very fond Of it.
That zone Of the party might be
sighted, they ended by placing several
large seal rings upon tho points of the
Gump's a~ntiers, although that odd per-
sonage seemed by no means gratified
by the attention.
Tip and the Woggle-Bu went to sleep
while the others sat down to wait pa
tiently for the day.
Next morning they had cause to con
graduate themselves upon the useful
condition OF the Gump: for with day
preached to engage in one more battle
for the possession OF the nest.
But our Adventures did not walt for

cushioned seats Of the sofas as quick
