The Prisoners of the Queen.

Approaching the gateway of Emerald
City the travellers found it guarded by
two girls of the Army of Revolt who
opposed their entrance by drawing the
knitting-needles from their hair and
threatening to prod the first that came
near.
But the Tin Woodman was not afraid.

absurd soldiers very easily. Follow me
closely, all of you"
Then, swinging his AK in great
circle to right and left before him, he
advanced upon the gate, and the others
followed him without hesitation.
The girls. who had expected no re-
sistance whatever. were terrified by the
sweep of the glttering ak and fled

travellers passed the gates in safety and

conquest of the guards.

the Scarecrow, gratefully. Nothing

As they passed the rows of houses
they saw through the open doors that
men were sweeping and dusting and
washing dishes, while the women sat
around in groups, gossiping and laugh

bushy beard, who wore an apron and

This action rendered the Scarecrow
uneasy.
