They began the trip across the

they stopped only long enough for

sunset they espied the green slopes

Land of OF. They entered it in the
Munchkin territory, and the King of

great respect, being very pleased bv
her safe resturn. For Ozma of OF

The Scarcrow had fairly thrown
himself upon the bosom of his old
comrade, the Tin Woodman, so sur
prlsed and delighted was he to see
MIN again, and Tiktok squeezed the
I'm Woodman'S hand so earnestly
that he dented some of his fingers.
Then they had to make way for OZ-
ma to welcome the tin man, and the
army caught sight of him and set
up cheer, and everybody was de-
lighted and happy.
For the Tin Woodman was n
great favorite with all who knew
him, and his sudden recovery after
they had thought he was lost to them
forever was indeed pleasant sur
prise.
Before long the cavalcade arrived
at the royal palace, where a great
crowd had gathered to welcome
their Queen and her ten children.
There was much shouting and cheer
ing, and the people threw flowers
in their path, and every face wore
happy smile.
They found the Princess Lang
wider in her mirrored chambers,
where she was admiring one of her
handsomest heads-one with rich
Tchestnnt hair, dreamy walnut eyes
and a shapely hickorynut nose. She
was very glad to be relieved of her
duties to the people of Ev, and the
Queen graciously permitted her to
retain her rooms and her cabinet oil
heads as long as she lived.
Then the Queen took her eldest
son out upon a balcony that over
looked the crowd of subjects gather
ed below, and said to them:
Here is your future ruler, King
Evardo Fifteenth. He is fifteen
years of age, has fifteen silver
buckles on his jacket and is the
fifteenth Evardo to rule the land of
Ev."
The people shouted their approval
fifteen times. and even the Wheel
ers, some of whom were present,
loudly promised to obey the new
King.
So the Queen placed a big crown
of gold, set with rubies, upon Evar-
dos head, and threw an ermine robe
over his shoulders and proclaimed
to all his subjects and then went
away to see if he could find any
cake in the royal pantry.
OZma of OF and her people, as
well as Dorothy, Tiktok and Billina,
were splendidly entertained by the
Queen mother, who owed all the
to their kind officers; and
that evening the yellow hen was
presented with a beautiful
necklace of perals and sapphires, IS
a token of esteem from the new
King,
Dorothy decided to accept Ozma
invitation to return with her to the
Land of OF. There was no greater
chance of her getting home from EVE
than from OF, and the little girl was
anxious to see once more the country
where she had encountered such
adventures. BY this time
Uncle Henry would have reached
Australia in his ship, and had prop
ably given her up for lost; so he

called the Emerald City, which was
in the exact center of the four king
doms of the Land of OF.
The Munchkin king entertaineS
them at his palace that night, and
in the morning they set out for the
Emerald City, travelling over road
of yellow brick that led straight to
the Jewel-studded gates. Every
where the people turned out to greet
their beloved OZma, and to hail JOY
fully the Scarecrow, the Tin Wood :
man and the Cowardly Lion, who
were popular favorites. Doroary,
too, remembered some of the people,
who had befriended her on the oc-
casion of her first visit to OF, and
they were we'll pleased to see the
little Kansas girl again, and shower
ed her with compliments and good
wishes.
At one place, where they stopped
to refresh themselves, Ozma accept
ed a bowl of milk from the hands
of a pretty dairy maid. Then she
looked at the girl more closely and
exclaimed:
why, it's Jinjud-isn't it,"
Yes, your Highness," was the
reply, as Jinjur dropped low curtsy.
And Dorothy looked wonderingly
at this lively appearing person, who
had once assembled an army OF
women and driven the Scarecrow
from the throne of the Emerald
City, and even fought a battle with
the powerful army of Glinda the
Sorceress.
