Dorothy lived in Kansas with Aunt Km ] myself—I'm such a coward; but just
and Uncle Henry. A cyclone lifted their
home into the air, Dorothy failing asleep
amidst the excitement. A crash awakened
her. The house had landed in a country
of marvelous beauty. Groups of queer
little people greeted her to the Ljanrt of
Munchkins. The house had killed their
enemy, the wicked witch of East. Dor-
othy took the witch's silver shoes. She
started for the Emerald City to find the
Wizard of Oz. who, she was promised,
might find a way to send her bark to
Kansas. Dorothy released a scarecrow,
giving him life. He was desirous of ac-
quiring brains and started with her to
the wizard to get them. The scarecrow
told his history. They met a tin wood-
man, who longed for a heart. lie jtlM°

CHAPTER VI.—Continued.
Little Toto, now that he had an
enemy to face, ran barking toward the
Lion, and the groat beast had opened
his mouth to bite the do^, when Doro-
thy, fearing Toto would fe killed, and
heedless of danger, rushed forward
and slapped the Lion upon his nose as
hard as she could, while she cried out:
"Don't you dare to bite Toto! You
ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big
beast like you, to bite a poor little
dog!"
"I didn't bite him," said the Lion, as
he rubbed his nose with his paw where
Dorothy had hit it.
"No, but you tried to," she retorted.
"You are nothing but a big coward."
"I know it," said the Lion, hanging
his head in shame; "I've always
known it. But how can I help it?"
"I don't know, I'm sure. To think
of your striking a stuffed man like the
poor Scarecrow!"
"Is he stuffed?" asked the Lion, in
surprise, as ho watched her pick up
the Scarecrow and set him upon his
feet, while she patted him into shape
again.
"Of course he's stuffed," replied
Dorothy, who was still angry.
"That's why he went over so easi-
ly," remarked the Lion "It astonished
rae to see him whirl around so. Is the
other one stuffed, also?"
"No," said Dorothy, "he's made of
tin." And she helped the Voodman
up again.
"That's why he nearly blunted m;
claws," said the Lion. "When they
scratched against the tin it made a
cold shiver run down my back. What
is that little anim*l you are so ten-
der of?"
"He is my dog, To;o," answered
Dorothy.
"Is he rnade of tin, or stuffed?"
asked the Lion.
"Neither. He's a—a—a meat dog,"
said the girl.
"Oh. He's a curious animal, and
seems remarkably small, now that I
look at him. No one would think of
biting such a little tfiing except
coward like mo," continued the Lion,
sadly.
"What makes you a coward?" asked
Dorothy, looking at the great beast
tn wonder, for he was as big as a
small horse.
"It's a mystery," replied the Lion
"I suprose 1 was born that way. All
rtie other animals in the forejt natur
as soon as they hear me roar they all
try to get away from ma, and of
course I let them go."
"But that isn't right. Tin King of
Beasts shouldn't be a coward," said
the Scarecrow.
"I know it," returned the Lion,
wiping a tear from his eye with the
tip of his tail; "It is my great sorrow,
and makes my life very unhappy. But
whenever there is danger my heart
begins to beat fast."
Perhaps you have heart disease,"
said the Tin Woodman.
"It may be," said the Lion.
"If you have," continued the Tin
Woodman, "you ought to be glad, for
was no other adventure to mar the
peace of their journey. Once, indeed,
the Tin Woodman stepped upon a
beetle that was crawling along the
road, and killsd the poor little thing.
This made the Tin Woodman very un-
happy, for he was always careful not
to hurt any living creature; and as he
walked along he wept several tears of
sorrow and regret. These tears ran
slowly down his face and over the
hings of his jaw, and there they
rusted. When Dorothy presently asked
him a question the Tin Woodman
could not open his mouth, for his jaws
were tightly rusted together. He be-
came greatly frightened at this and
made many motions to Dorothy to re
lieve him, but she could not under-
stand. The Lion was also puzzled to
you. You can roast it by tho lire,
since your lasteB are so peculiar that I
you prefer cooked food, and then you
will have a very good breakfast."
"Don't! pleaso don't," begged the |
Tin Woodman. "I should certainly j
weep if you killed a poor deer, and j
then my jaws would rust again."
But the Lion went away into the
forest and found his own supper, and j
no one ever knew what it was, for he "About fifteen or eighteen year*

she laughed heartily at the awkward

It proves you have a heart. For my
part, I have no heart; so 1 cannot
have heart disease."
"Perhaps," said the Lion, thought-
fully, if I had no heart I should not
be a coward."
"Have you brains?" ask^d the Scare-
crow.
"I suppose so. I've never looked to
see," replied the Lion.
"I am going to the great Oz to ask

Scarecrow, "for my head is stuffed j

"Do you think Oz could give me

"Just as easily as he could give me

"Or give me a heart," said the Tin
Woodman.
"Or send me back to Kansas," said
Dorothy.
"Then, If you don't mind, I'll go with

simply unbearable without a bit of

"You will be very welcome," an-
swered Dorothy, "for you will help to

Then giving a great spring, he shot
