said Glinda, in her soft, sweet voice.
Lie still moment, and rest yourself
and then / will carry you back to my

why do you seek me?" asked Mombi
still scarce able to speak plainly for
lack of breath. What have 1 done
to you, to be so persecuted?"

true that you have so abused your
knowledge of magic, intend to punish
you severely

You dare not harm me !"
Just then the Gump few up to them
and alighted upon the desert sands
beside Glinda. Our friends were de-
lighted to find that Mombi had finally
been captured, and after hurried con-
sultation it was decided they should al
return to the camp in the Gump. Sc
the Saw-Horse was tossed aboard, and
then Glinda, still holding an end OF
the golden thread that was around
Mombis neck, forced her prisoner tc
climb into the sofas. The others now
followed. and Tip gave the word tc
the Gump to return.
The journey was made in safety

grim and sullen air; for the old has

smooth and while the Ant still
crawled about, Glinda discovered it and
ran quickly forward to effect its cap
ture. But, just as her hand was des-
cending, the Witch, now fairly frantic
with fear, made her last transforma-
tion, and in the form of a huge Griffin
sprang through the wall of the tent
tearing the silk asunder in her rush
and in moment had darted away with
the speed of whirlwind.
Glinda did not hesitate to follow.
She shrang upon the back of the Saw
Horse and cried:
Now you shall prove that you have
a right to be alive! Run-run-run -
The Saw-Horse ran. Like a fash
he followed the Griffin. his wooden
legs moving so fast that they twinkled
like the rays of a star. Before our
friends could recover from their sur
prise both the Griffin and the Saw
Horse had dashed out of sight
Come! Let us follow" cried the
Scarecrow.
They ran to the place where the
Gump was lying and quickly tumbled
aboard.
Fly" commanded Tip. eagerly.
Where to-" asked the Gump. in its
calm voice.
"I don't know" returned Tip, who
was very nervous at the delay; but
if you will mount into the air I think
we can discover which way Glinda
has gone"

The Transformation of Old Mombi

The Witch was at first frightened at
but soon she decided that she was
, exactly as safe in the Tin Woodman's
button-hole as growing upon the BUSH
For no one knew the rose and Mombi
TO be one, and now that she was with
out the gates of the city her chances
of escaping altogether from Glinda
were much improved.
But there is no hurry" thought
Mombi II will wait awhile and en-
joy the humiliation of this Sorceress
when she finds l have outwitted her."
So throughout the night the rose lay
quietly on the Woodman's bosom, and
in the morning, when Glinda sum-
moned our friends To a consultation.
Nick Chopper carried his pretty flower
with him to the white silk tent.
For some reason" said Glinda.
I'VE have failed to find this cunning old
Mombi; so l fear our expedition will
prove a failure. And for that 1 am
sorry, because without our assistance
little Ozma will never be rescued and
restored to her rightful position as
| Queen OF the Emerald City"
DO not let us give up so easily" said
the Pumpkinhead. Let us do some
thing else
Something else must really be done, "
replied Glinda. with a smile; yet l
cannot understand how l have been
defeated so easily by an old Witch who
knows far less of magic than l do
myself"
while we are on the ground l be-
leve :: would be wise for us to con-
quer tire Emerald City for Princess
Ozma, and find the girl afterward," "
said the Scarecrow. And while the
girl remains hidden I will gladly rule
in her place. for l understand the bust
ness of ruling much better than Jinjur
does"
But I have promised not to molest
Jinjur," objected Glinda.
Suppose you all return with me to
my llingdom-or Empire, rather" said
the Tin Woodman. politely including
the entire party in royal wave of his
arm. 1T will give me great pleasure
TO entertain you in my castle. where
there is room enough and to spare.
And if any of you wish to be nickel
plated. my valet will do it free of all
expense.
While the Woodman was speaking
Glindas eyes had been noting the rose
in his button hole, and now she i'm
agined she saw the big red leaves Of
the flower tremble slightly. This
quickly aroused her suspicious and in
a moment more the Sorceress had de-
cided that the semeing rose was moth
ing else than n transformation of old
Mombi At the same instant Mombi
knew she was discovered and must
quickly plan an escape, and as trans
formations were easy to her she i'm
mediately took the form of a Shadow
and glided along the wall of the tent
toward the entrance, thinking thus to
disappear.
But Glinda had not only equal cum
ming. but far more experience than the
Witch. So the Sorceress reached the
opening of the tent before the Shadow.
and with a wave of her hand closed
the entrance so securely that Mombi
could not find a crack big enough to

and mounted high into the air.
Far away, across the meadows, they
could see two tiny specks. speeding
one after the other; and they knew
these specks must be the Griffin and
the Saw-Horse. So Tip called the
Gump's attention to them, and bade
the creature try to overtake the Witch
and the Sorceress. But, swift as was
the Gump's flight. the pursued and
pursuer moved more swiftly yet, and
within few moments were blotted out

his friends were greatly surprised at
-Glindas actions; for none of them had
noted the Shadow. But the Sorceress
said to them:
Remain perfectly quiet, all of you !
For the old Witch is even now with us
IN this tent, and 1 hope TO capture
her."
These words so alarmed Mombi that
she quickly transformed herself from
shadow to a Black Ant. in which
shape she crawled along the ground
seeking crack or crevice in which
to hide her tiny body.
