The creatures had sense enough to rea-

made was in supposinG 0e earth people
were unable to overcome such ordinary
difficulties.
Jim was brought with the others, al
though it took a good many Gargoyies
to carry the big beast through the air
and land him on the high platform, and
the buggy was thrust in after him be-
cause it belonged 10 the party. and the
wooden folks had no idea what it was
used for or whether it was alive or not.

goyle had recovered himself Zeb had
wound a strap several times around its
body. coutining its wings and arms so
that 1t could not move. Then, having
tied the wooden creature securely, the
boy buckled the strap and tossed his
prisoner into the buggy. BY that time
the others had all retired.
For while the enemy hesitated to
renew the attack. Then a few OF them
advanced until another shot from the
Wizards revolver made them retreat.
That's fine said Zeb. We've got
'em on the run now sure enough
But only for a time" replied the
Wizard. shaking his head sioomily.
These revolvers are good for six shots
each, but when those are gone we shall
be helpless"
The Gargovies seemed to realize this
for they sent few OF their band time

at the same time Jim the cab horse
reighed loudly. This daunted the enemy
for time, but the defenders were soon
out OF breath. Perceving this. as well
as the fact that there were no more OF
the awful bangs to come from the re-
volvers. the Gargoyles advanced in
swarm as thick as bees SO that the air
was filled with them.
Dorothy squatted upon the ground and
put up her parasol, which nearly covered
her and proved a great protection. The
Wizards sword blade snapped into a
dozen pieces at the first blow he struck
against the wooden people. Zeb pounded
away with the Gargoyle he WAS using
as a club until he had knocked Gown a
dozen Of foes: but at the last they c!us
tered SO thickly about him that he 10
longer had room in which to swing hts
arms. The horse performed some won
derful kicking. and even Eureka assisted
when she leaped bodily upon the Car
goyles and scratched and bit AZ tn-n,
like wild cat
But all this bravery amounted to

All OF them expected nothing less thar

wooden creatures few into the air with
them and bore them far away over miles
and miles OF wooden country. until they
came to "A wooden city. The houses Oi
