No movement was made, as. they
passed along the street, to oppose
their progress. Several Of the women
stopped their gossip long enough to
but Immediately they would turn
away with a laugh or n sneer and re-
sumo their chatter. And when they
met with several girls belonging to
the Army of Revolt, those soldiers,
instead of being alarmed or appearing
Furprised. merely stepped out Of the
way and allowed them to advance
without protest.
This action rendered the Scarecrow
Uneasy.
"Tm afraid We are walking into a
krap.' said he.
Nonsense" returned Nick Chopper.
Eonfdently; the silly creatures are
conquered already!'

incrusted with emeralds, but were
now filed with tiny holes where tho
Jewels had been ruthlessly torn from
their settings by the Army of Revolt.
And so far not Il rebel barred their

headed his airplane toward them. lie
was too cautious, however to take
anything for granted and so in steer
ing toward the group he kept him
self IN the rear OF them. and when he
got closer he discovered that they had
them.
CHS first impulse was to get away
as fast as possible but then the hero
in him spoke up and he decided to
avail himself of the chance to reduce
the number of our enemies by at least
one. And so, flying quite close to tho
last one OF tho airplanes. he fired
quickly and with such good aim that
the plano Immediately went down,
spinning around. with its nose
pointed to the ground.
"I guess I got that ono all right
he said; but lie did not wait to see
what the final outcome might be, for

feigning disaster to their own ma

tance sufficiently to make their shells
effective. The rate of speed, by the
way, was 1i0 miles an hour.
"Despite his excitement and the
really exceptional achievement, Quen-
tin modcstly RETAINED from declaring

positively that he had bagged his
man. 1t was only afterward. when
we learned through an artillery OBJ
servation balloon that the airplane
brought down by Quentin had been
seen to strike the earth with a crash,
that he himself felt satisfied that he
was entitled to be regarded the VIC
tor. This was the occasion which
brought him the croix de gucrre."
Capt McLanahan ;lao received the
croiX de guerre. He Dagged three
hostile airplanes. But apparently It
We're easier to make water gush from
6; rock than to get him to talk about
the circumstances which attended
these exploits.
"All 1 desire to accomplish" he
said, "is to dispel the, effect OF the
unjust aspirations upon out squad.
From what ] have already said I
should think 1t would be quite clear
that any taunt Of lack Of personal
bravery applied to Quentin Roosevelt
would, in view of his achievement,
havs been ridiculously misapplied. It
would nave Decn 80 utterly WltnOuI
point as to make any one venturing
1T appear to be a fool.
"Concerning Quentin's defective
sight. there is this to be said, that Il
was not half 50 defective as that of
one of the greatest aces who lacked
one eye altogether. Both Quentin and
the ace in question were able to take
in more and grasp more of what they
took in by their sight, despite it's de-
fectivc nature, than most people who
have normal sight. 1t appears to be
largely matter of brain rather than
of mere vision"
Who the "aec" was to whom he al
mdcd Capt. McLanahan declined to
say. He said it might reflect in some
way upon the military authorities
who had allowed him to pass muster
into q branch OF the service which Is
regarded as requiring perfection OF
every sense to insure safety to the
aviator himself as well as to make

possible the highest degree Of em-
cheney. The authorities. however,
knew perfectly what they We're about
when they accepted this particular
aviator, who used to bag an enemy
almost as often as he made a flight.
When the day passed and Quentin
failed to return. his associates still
retained hope that he had landed in
the enemy lines and been taken q
prisoner. Even this forlorn hope was
d1spelled the following day, when
news was received than an observa-
tion balloons crew had seen a Nieu-
port machine fall at Chamery, east Of
Fere-en- Tardenois, the place where
Quentin had gone into the battle.
A few days after that German avla-
tors flying over the American lines
dropped notes announcing that Lieut.
Quentin Roosevelt had been killed by
two bullet wounds in the head and
had been buried with military honors
by the Germans.
After the armistice was signed"
said Capt. McLanahan, I'VE saw the
aviator who killed Quentin. He was
on-commissioned officer and one OF
the most expert flyers in the enemy's
air service. After the armistice he

He was identified by a metal iden-

This view Of the case puzzled the
scarecrow.
How is 1t, friend Nick7" hs asked,
turning to tho Tin Woodman.
"Why. when 1t comes to law. I have
nothing to say" answered that per-
sonage: "for laws were never meant
to be understood. and 1t is foolish to
make the attempt"

Scarecrow. in dismay.

Jinjur frowned.
"Why don't. you shut her up in a

Jinjur's lip curled scornfully.

the Saw-Horse.

said she; but I am tired Of your
nonsense and have no time to bother
with you longer"
While the monarch and his friends
listened in amazement to this impu-
dent speech. a startling thing hap
pened. The Tin Woodman's ak was
snatched from his grasp by some per-
son behind him. and he found himself
disarmed and helpless. At the same
instant a shout of laughter rang in
the ears Of the devoted band, and
turning to see whence this came they
found themselves surrounded by the
Army of Revolt. the girls bearing In
either hand their glistening knitting
needles. The entire throne room

Then, swinging his AK IL I. (.

advanced upon tho gate. and the
others followed him without hesita-
tlon.
The girls who had expected no re-
sistance whatever were terrified by
the sweep OF the glttering ak and
fed screaming into the city; so that
our travellers passed the gates in
safety and marched down the green
marble pavement OF the ,vide street
toward the royal palace.
"At this rate we will soon have your
Majesty upon the throne again." said
tho Tin Woodman, laughing at his
easy conquest of the guards.
"Thank you, friend Nick" returned
tho Scarecrow, gratefully. Nothing
can resist your kind heart and your
sharp aN."
AS they passed the rows Of houses
they saw through the open doors that
SheA were sweeping ana duSting and
washing dishes, while the women sat
around in groups, gossipIng and
laughing.
What has happened?" the Scare
crow asked Il sadlooking man with
4 bushH beard. who wore an apron
and was wheeling baby-carriage
along the sidewalk.
"Why. we've had revolution, your
Majesty-as YOU ought to know very
we'll" replied the man; "and since
you went away the women have been
running things to suit themselves.
N'm glad you have decided to come

man, with a deep sigh. perhaps the

This program Of determination was
SO terrible that the prisoners looked ,
upon ono another in a panic Of fear.
The Scarecrow alone did not give way
to despair. He stood quietly before
the Queen and his brow was wrinkled
In deep thought as he strove to hnd
some means to escape.
While thus engaged he felt tho
straw within his breast move gently.
At once his expression changed from
sadness to JOY. and raising his hand
he quickly unbuttoned tho front Of
his jacket.
This action did not pass unnoticed
by the crowd Of girls clustering about
him, but none of them suspected what
he was doing until a tiny gray mouse
leaped from his bosom to the floor
and scampered away between the feet
Of the Army of Revolt. Another mouse
quickly followed; then another and
another. in rapid succession. And
suddenly such scream OF terror
went up from the Army that 1t might
easily have filled the stoutest heart
with CONSERVATION. .- The flight that
ersued turned to stampede, and the
stampede to panic.
For whllo the startled mice rushed
wildly about the room the Scarecrow
had only time to note a whirl OF
skirts and 4 twlnkling Of feet as the
girls disappeared from the palace
pushing and crowding one another In
their mad efforts to escape.

The Queen, at the first alarm, stood
up on the cushions Of the throne and
began to dance frantically upon her
tiptoes. Then a mouse ran up the
cushions. and with terrified leap
poor Jinjur shot clear over the head
of the Scarecrow and escaped through
an archway-never pausing In her
wild career until she had reached. tho
city gates.
So. in less time than can explain;
the throne room was deserted by all
save the Scarecrow and his friends,
and the Woggle-Bug heaved deep
sigh Of relief as he exclaimed:

Woodman. "But the enemy will soon
