"Ilia brain re plentiful and of excellent quality, nd often he has told me thinga I night never have throught of my elf. I mum say I rely a rood deal ipon the Scarecrow's brain In thin mergency.

The Tin Woodman rode on the runt eat of the wagon, where Dor my sat between him and the ix rd. "Ha the Scarecrow heard of sma' trouble?" asked the Captain eneral. "I do not know, air," waa the re ly. "Wheq I wua a privute." said 'mby Am by, "I waa an excellent rmy, uh 1 fully proved in our war gainst the Nomes. Uut now there i not a single private left In our rmy.

"The reeent army in composed only of Ulcers, and the business of an of cer to order his men to tight, tnro there are no men there can be iiirhtinsr."

And we light take Ozma with us and all ork hard to get money for her. so he wouldn't be so very lonely and nhappy about the loss of her fairy ind." "Do you think there would be any ork for me in Kansas?" asked the in Woodman.

'If you are hollow, they might use ou in a canning factory." suggested "nele Henry. I can't see the se of your working for a living. Tou ever eat or sleep or need a new suit clothes." "I waa not thinking of myself," re lied the Emperor, with dignity. "I lerely wondered if 1 could not help support Dorothy and Ozma." As they indulged in these sad lans for the future they i sight of the Scarecrow's new man ion, and even though filled with are and worry over the impending ate of Oz, Dorothy could not help feeling of wonder at the sight she aw. The Scarecrow's new house was piaped liked an immense ear of corn.

he rows of kernels were made of jlid gold, and the green upon which lie ear stood upright was! a mass of parkling emeralds. Lpon the very of the structure was a gure representing the Scarecrow mself, and upon his extended arms. 3 well as upon his head, were sev I ai crows carved out of ebonv and avicg ruby eyes. You may imagine ow big this ear of corn was when tell you that a single gold kernel armed a window, swinging outward pon hinges, while a row of four ernels opened to make the front ntrance. Inside there were five ories," each story being a single oom.

The gardens around the mansion onsisted of cornfields, and Dorothy cknowledged that the place was in II respects a very appropriate home 619 Walnut St. 813 Market St (Mi for her good friend the Scarecrow. "He would have been very happy hr I'm aura." she Uld. "if OII V.m. Wlnir hn.i.

replied the Scarecrow. Then Nick Chopper told hla friend of the Nome Kins' tunnel, and how the evil creature of the North had allied themselves with the underground monarch for the purpose of conquering and destroying Oz. "Well," said the Scarecrow, "it certainly looks bad for Ozma, and all of us. But I believe it Is wrong to worry over unything before it happens. It is surely time enough to be Had when our country is despoiled and our people made slaves.

So Jet us not deprive ourselves or tne iew happy hours remaining to us." 'Ah! that Is real wisdom." de clared the Shaggy Man, approving ly. "After we become really unhappy we shall regret these few hours that are left to us, unless we enjoy them to the utmost." "Nevertheless, said the bcarccrow, I shall go with you to the Emerald City and offer Ozma my services." she says we can ao noting 10 op pose our enemies, announced me Tin Woodman. And doubtless she is right, sir," answered the Scarecrow. "Still, she will appreciate our sympathy, and it is the duty of Ozraa's friends to stand by her side when the final disaster occurs. He then led them into his oucer mansion and showed them the beau tlful rooms in all the five stories.

The lower room was a grand reception hall with a hand organ in one corner. This Instrument the Scarecrow, when alone, could turn to amuse himself, as he was very fond of music. The walls were hung with white silk, upon which nocks of black crows were embroidered in black diamonds. Some of the chairs were made in the shape of big crows and upholstered with cushions of corn colored silk. The second story contained a fine banquet room, where the Scarecrow i might entertain his guests, and the three stories above that were bedchambers exquisitely furnished and decorated.

"From these rooms" said the Scarecrow, prudly. "ne may obtain fine views of the surrounding cornfields. The corn I grow Is always husky, and I call the ears my regiments, because they have so many kernels. Of course I cannot ride my cobs, but I really don't care shucks about that. Taken altogether, my farm will stack up with any in the neighborhood." The visitors partook of some light refreshments and then hurried away to resume the road to the Emerald lights (bright and dim) and tail lamp, front fenders, electric horn and tools, power tire pump.

"Doubloons and the Girl" By JOffV MAXWELL FORBES Copyright, 1920, by Kleinleich Sully "You're rigrht, there," Drew agreed. "It was a box or something. Too square shaped to be a rock." Drew ran ahead, reaching the spot first. Anxious and frightened aa he had been the moment of the phenomenon, the young jnan had noted exactly the spot where the strange object had fallen.

Half buried In a heap of earth'was a discolored splintered chest. It's ancient appearance led Drew to utter a shout of satisfaction. A cry of delight rose from all. The men joined Drew and helped him clear away tho earth. The chest soon stood revealed.

The box had originally been of enormous strength, but time and nature and the earthquake had done their work. The wood was swollen ana warped, the iron bands were eaten with rust. Cut the lock resisted their efforts when they sought to lift the cover. "istana clear!" cried Captain juamiiton, raising ins spade. He struck the padlock a smashing blow.

Then he stooped and lifted the cover, wmcn yielded groaningly. A cry burst simultaneously from tne treasure seekers. Priceless treasure heaped in care less profusion, glinting, glowing, coruscating, scintillating, threw back in splendor tne rays of the tronic sun Gold there was, both coined and melted into bars: Spanish doubloons. Indian rupees, French louis, Engliah guineas, cups and candelabra, chains and watches, jewels, too. in whose depths flashed rainbow hues, amethysts, rubies, diamonds, emeralds, strings of shimmering pearls.

At last tne captains voice, a bit husky from emotion, brought them back to practical realities. 'Well, the first log of our voyare written up," he said. "But' now let get down to the question of what we're to do next. How are we to get this stuff aboard All sobered a little as they discussed the problem. "How would this do?" wa Drew's contribution.

"Aa has already been said, the men would be surprised to see us bring a box aboard if they hadn't first seen us take it ashore. Now, suppose we take one of the ship's chests, load in it worthlessjunk 1 that would make it as heavy as this box and bring it ashore. Wa could bring it up here, throw away the contents, put the treasure in. it, and then call on the men to take it back the ship. They'd recognize it as the same one they'd brought over.

and their thinking would stop right there." "By Jove, I believe you've hit it, exclaimed the captain. "That sounds sensible," conceded Tyke. "I guess It's the only way." "Well, now that that's settled." went on the captain, "what are we going to do with the treasure in the meanwhile. It's getting late bow. can't get it aboard to day." "Let's pile some of those loose lava top or tne chest." said Drew.

"Make a regular mound. It will look though the earthquake had done That plan seemed the best, and they acted upon it. The party started for the lagoon with their hearts bounding with exultation. But as they entered the forest path they were startled by the sight of Kogers and his men hastening toward them. The captain was about to otter a rebuke, bat when he saw the pale frightened faces of the men ha checked his tongue.

"Well. Mr. Rogers, what is It? he asked. The boat is gone. Mone!" exclaimed the captain, taring.

"Yes. sir. It must hare drifted away from the shore when the earth faovi so jut aown nere ttelow a ta place where yea can see the te coon, and I caught sight or the shor and the ahixi." "Ua, van. if that's all, there fan any great harm done. Mr.

C1LUTKR 11 The Mutiny They reached the beach and the captain hailed the ship. Again and again he sent bis voice booming over the water, and the others supplemented bis efforts by waiving their arms, it was impossible that they should not have been hoard or seen; but the Bortha Hamilton might have been a phantom vessel for all the response that was evoked.

The captain fumed and stormed with impatience. "What's the matter with those swabs?" he growled. "Ah! now they're lowering a boat," cried Drew. The boat put out from the side and headed for the beach. When halfway there, the rowers overtook the 'captain's boat and secured It Then, LtTSU11 J0! they turned deliberately about and Jordan S.

"Well, of all the" raged Capt Hamilton, when he waa Interruoaed by the sound of a shot fired oa the schooner.

Two others followed In quick succession. Then ram a roar ot voices. A moment later a wan leaped from the utlasen sarouds over the rail. He waa shot In midair, and those ashore beard hi shriek aa he threw up his anna and disappeared In the still heaving waters of the lagoon. "Mutiny!" roared Capt Hamilton.

"Yes," echoed Tyke; mutiny." "What do you know about this. Mr. Rogers?" be said quietly. 'Van we count on you 7" 'That you can, captain," replied Rogers heartily. "I only know what I've told you before, sir," "And bow about you.

my lads?" Captain Hamilton continued, ad dressing the boat's crew. "Are you going to stand with your captain?" There was a cnorus of eager as sent. Not one of them flinched or wavered, and indignation wo hot in their eyes. "Oood!" cried the captain approv ingly. "I knew you'd sailed with me too long to desert me when It came to a pinch." "That makes ten of us altogether." observed Tyke Grlaishaw.

"Eleven." put in Ruth. "Don't for get me." "Eleven, repeated the master of the Bertha Hamilton, looking at her fondly. "You're a true sailor's daughter, Ruth. I'm proud of you, my dar." said Drew. "That leave twenty five on the ship, Including Ditty." "Beggin your pardon, sir," said Barker, who was the oldest man of the crew, "but there's some of our mates over there that wouldn't never fight on the side of that Bug eye meanln' no disrespect to the mate, air.

'They've soiled with Us herore. Hut even If they don't tight against ua, Uiey can't tight with us as things stand now. The very least that Ditty will do with them Is to noia them pnsouers until he's put the Job through." "Where are you going to wait fo him? asked Tyke. "Up at the whole' hump," replied the I'Mptuln. "We can build a sort of fortlftcAiini help make up for our luck of number.

They'll ul n.u,tj uut of the wood Into the open up there, too. We might wult here on the beach, but they could keeu out of srunahot. and we wouldn't get a decision.

The party emerged upon the slope of the whale's hump. Nothing had disturbed tho cairn they had built over the treasure chest, nor were the rifles and tool displaced. Captain Hamilton's decision to make the stand here was admittedly a wise one. Here was enough lava rubbish to build a dozen forts. In two hours, and not long before sunset, their fortification was finished.

Next the rifles and revolvers were carefully cleaned and loaded, and the ammunition distributed. "How are we off for cartridges?" Drew asked. "None too well," answered the cap tain. "If these fellows were sure shots, there'd probably be all we'd need. But they'll waste a lot.
