The Wizard Cut the Sorcerer Exactly in Two

and passes toward the Wizard, but
the little man did not watch him
long. Instead, he drew Il leathern
case from his pocket and took from
it several sharp knives, which he
joined together. one after another,
until they made Il long sword. by
the time he had attached handle
to this sword he was having much
trouble TO breathe, as the charm of
the Sorcerer was bc"iEning to take
effect.
SO the Wizard lost no more time,
but, leaping forward. he raised the
sharp sword, whirled it once or
twice around his head and then gave
a mighty stroke that cut the body
of the Sorcerer exactly in two.
Dorothy screamed and expected
to see Il terrible sight, but as the
two halves of the Sorcerer fell apart
on the floor she saw that he had no
bones or blood inside of him at all,
and that the place where he was
cut looked much like Il sliced turnip
or potato.
why, he's a vegetable" cried the
Wizard, astonished.
"Of course said the Prince.
I'VE are all vegetable, in this coun-
Try. Are you not vegetable, also
No" answered the Wizard.
People on top of the earth are all
meat. viii your Sorcercr die"
Certainly, sir. He is really dead
now. and will wither very quickly.
SO we must plant him at once, that
other Sorcerers may grow upon his
BUSH" continued the Prince.
What do you mean by that"
asked the little Wizard, greatly puz-
zled.
If you will accompany me to our
public gardens" replied the Prince,
II will explain to YOU much better
than l can here the mysteries of
our Vegetable Kingdom
After the Wizard had wiped the
dampness from his sword ard taken
it apart and put the pieces into
their leathern case again, the man
with the star ordered some of his
people to carry the two halves of
the Sorcerer to the public gardens.

heard they were going to the gar
dens, and wanted to join the party,
thinking he might find something
proper to eat; so Zeb put down the
top of the buggy and invited the
Wizard to ride with them. The seat
was amply wide enough for the lit
tie man and the two children, and
when Jim started to leave the hall
the kitten jumped upon his back and
sat there quite contentedly.

PASSED through these it came upon
Il broad plain covered with gardens
and watered by many pretty brooks
that flowed through it. There
were paths through the gardens.
and over some of the brooks were
ornamental glass bridges.
Dorothy and Ieb now got out of
the buggy and walked beside the
Prince. so that they might see and

Maude Tabor, brilliant student of
languages. whose body was found in

The verdict came as the climax of
a day fraught with sensation during
which the S0-year-old mother OF the
dead woman, Mrs. SarG L Tabor, dra-
matically told in detail "A story of
her daughters death and her own act

keeping with a pact the two had
made to be buried together.
Returned from Yreka, Calf, with
her son. Walter Tabor, that she
might testify. the aged woman
throughout the day denied the testi-
mony of DR.. A. S. Warthin. UniIer-

had died of hemorrhages incident to
induced child birth. She maintained
that Maud had died in her arms APP
parently from an overdose of chloro-
form taken to relieve asthma; that
there had been no operation and
that she had not known Maud had
been about to become Il mother.
