The Queen uttered a little piping
call. and in an instant a dozen pretty
field mice had emerged from their holes
and stood before their ruler, awaiting
her orders.
What the Queen said to them none
OF our travellers could understand, for 1t
was in the mouse language; but the
field mice obeyed without hesitation,

Scarecrow and hiding themselves in

nature being thus happily restored to
the party, they proceeded upon their
way.
When they again stopped to allow Tip
to rest-the boy being the only one that
seemed to tire-the Tin Woodman no
ticed many small. round holes in the
grassy meadow.
This must be a village of the Field
Mice, he said to the Scarecrow. Il
wonder if my old friend, the Queen of
the Mice is in this neighborhood.
IF she is, she may be of great SER
vice to u.s." answered the Scarecrow,
who was impressed by sudden thought.
See If you can call her. my dear Nick"
So the Tin Woodman blew a shrill
note upon silver whistle that hung
around his neck, and presently a tiny
grey mouse popped from n nearby
hole and advanced fearlessly toward

saved her life. and the Queen of the
Field Mice knew he was to be trusted.
Good day, your Majesty" said
Nick, politely addressing the mouse; II

They soon discovered that the Saw
Horse lmped, for his new leg was a
trifle too long. So they were Obliged
to halt while the Tin Woodman chopped
it down with his axe, after which the
wooden steed paced along more com
fortably. But the Saw-Horse was not
entirely satisfied, even yet.
TT was shame that / broke my

"On The contrary" airily remarked
the WoEgle-Bug, who was walking
alongside you should consider the ac-
cident most. fortunate. For horse is
never of much use until he has been
broken"

Still. it is a joke" declared the
Woggle-Bug. firmly, "and joke derived
from a play upon words is considered
among educated people to be eminently

What does that mean?" enqiired

1T means. my dear friend" expla med
the Woggle-Bug, that our language
contains many words having a double

ture and refinement. who has, moreover,
a thorough command of the language.
II don't believe that" said Tip, plain
ly: anybody can make pun"
Not So" rejoiced the Woggle-Bug,
stifiy. TT requires education of high
order Are you educated. young sir?"
Not especially" admitted Tip.
I myself am thoroughly educated. and
say that puns display genius. For in
stance, were l to ride upon this Saw
Horse. he would not only be an animal
he would become an equipage. For he
would then be a horse-and-buggy."
At this the Scarecrow gave n gasp
and the Tin Woodman stopped short
and looked reproachfully al the Woggle-
Bug. At the same time the Saw-Horse
loudly snorted his derision and even the
Pumpknhead put up his hand to hide
the smile which, because it was carved
upon his face, he could not change to a
frown.
But the Woggle-Bug strutted along
as II he had made some brilliant remark.
and the Scarecrow was obliged to say:
Il have heard my dear friend. that
person can become over-educated and
although l have high respect for
brains. no matter how they may be ar
ranged or classified, 1 begin TO suspect
that yours are slightly tangled. In any
event. l must beg you TO restrain your
superior education while in our society"
we are not very particular" added
the Tin Woodman; and we are ex-
ceedingly kind hearted. But if your
superior culture gets leaky again"
He did not complete the sentence. but
he twirled his cleaning axe so care
lessly that the Woggle-Bug looked
frightened, and shrank away to a safe
distance.
The others marched on in silence, and

of deep thought said. in an humble
voice:

That is all we can expect" returned
