The Scarecrow Plans An Escape
Tip slipped away from the girls
and followed swiftly after Ihe soldier
with the green wrflskers. The invad
ing arm entered the city more slow
ly, for they stopped to dig emeralds
out of the walls and paving stones
with the points of their knitting
needles. Bo the soldier and the boy
reached the palace before the news
had spread that the city was con
quered.
The Scarecrow and Jack Pump
kinhead were still playing at quoits
in the courtyard when the game was
interrupted by the abrupt entrance
of the Royal Army of Oz, who came
flying in without his hat or gun, his
clothes in sad array and his long
board floating a yard behind him
as he ran.
"Tally one for me," said the
Scarecrow, calmly. "What's wrong,
my man " he adtled, addressing the
soldier.
"Oh! your majesty—your majesty,
the city is conquered!" gasped tlie
Royal Army, who was all out of
breath.
"This is quite sudden," said the
Scarecrow. "But please go and bar
ull the doors and windows of the
palace, while I show this Pumpkin
head how to throw a quoit."
The soldier hastened to do this,
while Tip, who had arrived at his
heels, remained in the courtyard to
look at tlie Scarecrow with wonder
ing eyes. ,
His Majesty continued lo throw
the quoits as coolly as if no danger
threatened his throne, bu the Pump
kinhead, having caught sight of Tip,
ambled toward the boy as fast as his
wooden legs would go.
"Good afternoon, noble parent!"
he cried, delightedly. "I'm glad to
see you are here. Ti;at terrible Saw-
Hore ran away wlt'i me."
"I suspected it," iid Tip. "Did you
get hurt? Are you cracked at all?"
"No, I arrived safely," answered
Jack, "and his Majesty has been very
kind indeed to me.
At the moment the Soldier with
Green Whiskers returned, and the
Scarecrow asked:
"By the way, who has conquered
me?"
"A regiment of girls, / gathered
from the four corners of the Rand of
Oz," replied tlie soldier, still pale
with fear.
"But where . was my Standing
Army at the time?" inquired his Ma
jesty, looking at tlie Soldier, grdvely.
'iYour Standing Army was run
ning," answered the fellow, honestly:
"for no man could face tlie terrible
wepnons of the invaders."
"Well." said the Scarecrow, after
a moment's thought. "I don't mind
much the loss of niy throne, for it's a
tiresome job to rule over the Emer
ald City. And this crown is so heavy
that it makes my head ache. But I
hope the Conquerors have no inten
tion of injuring me, just because I
happen to be the king.
"I heard them say." remarked
Tip, with some hesitation, "that they
j intend to make n rag carpet of your
[outside and stuff their sofa cushions
with your inside."
"Then I am really In danger," de
clared bin Majesty, positively, "and
it will he Vise for me to consider a
mcans of escap'e."
"Where can you go?" asked Jack
Pumnkinhead.
"Why. to my friend the Tir. Wood

escape. They would soon tear you to
pieces."
The Scarecrow sighed.
"In an emergency," he announced,
"it is always a good thing to pause
and reflect. Please excuse me while
I pause and reflect."
"But we also are in danger,"
said the Pumpkinhead, anxious
lj*. "If any of these girls understand
cooking, my end is not far oft!"
"Nonsense!" exclaimed the Scare
crow; "they're too busy to cook,
even if they know how!"
"But should I remain here a
prisoner for any length of time,"
protested Jack. "I'm liable to spoil."
"Ah! then yd# would not he fit
to associate with," returned the
Scarecrow. "The matter is more
serious than 1 suspected."
"You," said the Pumpkinhead,
gloomily, "are liable to live for many
years. My life is necessarily short.
So 1 must take advantage of the
few days that remain to me."
"There, there! Don't worry,"
answered tlie Scarecrow, soothing
ly; "if you'll keep quiet long enough
for me to think, I'll try to find some
way for us all to escape."
So the others waited in patient
silence while the Scarecrow walked
to a corner and stood with his face
to the wall for a good five minutes.
At the end of that time he faced
them with a more cheerful expres
sion upon his painted face.
"Where is the Saw-Horse you rode
here?" he asked the Pumpkinhead.
"Why, I said he was a jewel, and
so your man locked him up in the
royal treasury," said Jack.
"It was tlie only place R could
think of, your Majesty," added the
Soldier, fearing he had made u
blunder. i
"It pleases me very much," said)
the Scarecrow. "Has Ihe animal
been fed?"
"Oh, yes; I gave him a heaping
peck of sawdust."
"Excellent!" cried the Scarecrow.
"Bring the horse here at once."
The Soldier hastened away, and
presently they heard the clatter

With Choir and Organist
Miss Ruth Steinauer, orgartist at
Christ Rutheran Church, has also been
chosen director of the choir, succeed
ing Mrs. Phoebe Turner, who had held
the position for several months fol
lowing the retirement of Director E.
A. Heffelfinger, wjio had served faith
fully for many years.
I*. Trobe M. Barnitz is the new
leader of Westminster Presbyterian
t'hurch choir, which had been direct

Smith, now bass soloist of Zion Lu
theran choir. Miss Wilson continues
as soprano soloist, with Mrs. Ralph R.
Burd as organist.
"Like as the Hart Desireth the
Water Brook," one of H. J. Storer's
tuneful works, has been widely used
by choirs of protestant churches.
Storer has been most fortunte in
meeting the needs of the average
choir. "The Day Is Past and Over"
is another beautiful authem number
by the same composer. Storer is a
Syracuse, N. Y., musician and has
written many beautiful hymn tunes, a
number of which appear both in the
Protestant Kpiscopal and Methodist
Kpiscopal hymnals.
H. C. MacDougall, widely known or
ganist and choirmaster, recommends
the changing ot key in quite a num
ber of hymns, in which the compos
ers evidently forgot the range of the
ordinary choir voice in their desire to
accomplish something harmonically
attractive. In some hymns he raises
the pitch,, while in others he lowers
It. Organists not gifted with rapid
transposing facility cling to the text
which appears in the hymnal before
him allowing the choir to proceed in
the original key.
Ralph E. Steever. a well-known
singer of the city, has organized a
male quartet known as the Quality
Four. Its personnel comprises Mr.
Steever, first tenor: .1. Stewart Black,
second tenor: Ralph Manley, first
bass, and J. AVarron Byler, second
bass. Mr. Steever was a member of
the Orpheus Club, directed by Fred
eric O. Martin, which later became
known as the Madrigal Club of which
appeared In many of the comic operas
Mr. Kelker was the director. He also
sung by the lljntsburg Operatic So
ciety. Mr. Black Is organist of Beth

lately directed the choir of Olivet

Club. Mr. Byler Is a member of the
choir of the Christ Hutheran Church
and also of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Concert Company.
A church member nnd musician
syho had hoped there might be a
change in the music of his church
which would comform more closely to
the beautiful liturgy used, writes
choir and organist that he has given
up hope, "When It seemed," he
writes, "that the governing body of
the church was about to conclude that
the music was quite as Important as
the preaching and had arranged to

His Majesty regarded the steed
critically.
"He doesn't seem especially grace
ful," he remarked, musingly; "but 1
suppose he can run?"
"He can, indeed," said Tip gaz
ing upon the Saw-Horse admiring
ly.
"Then, bearing us upon his back,
he must make a dash through the
ranks of the rebels and carry us
to my friend the Tin Woodman," an
nounced the Scarecrow.
"Ho enn't carry lour!" objected
Tip.
"No, but lie may be Induced to
carry three," said his Majesty, "I
shall therefore leave my Royal
Army behind. For, from the ease
with which he was conquered, I
have little confidence in his pow
ers."
"Still, he can run," declared Tip,
laughing.
"I expected this blow," said the
Soldier, sulkily; "but I can bear it.
1 disguise myself by cutting
off my lovely green whiskers. And,
after all, It is no more dangerous to
face those reckless girls than lo
ride this fiery, untamed wooden
horse!"
"Perhaps you are right," ob
served his Majesty. "But, for my
part, not being a soldier, 1 am fond
of danger. Now, my boy. you must
mount first. And please sit as close
to the horse's neck as possible."
Tip climbed quickly to Ills place,
and the Soldier and the Scarecrow
managed fo hoist the Pumpkinhead
to a seat just behind him. There re
majned so little space'for the King
that he was liable to fall off as soon
as the horse started.
"Fetch the clothesline," said the
King to his Army, "and He us all
together. Then if one falls off we
will all fall off."
And while the Soldier was gone
for the clotheslines his Majesty con
tinued, "it is well for me to be care
ful, for my very#existence is in dan
ger."
"I have to he as careful as you
do." said Jack.
"Not exactly," replied the Scare
crow; "for if anything happened to
the George Matthew Adams Ser vi
along comes a short-sighted singer
who steps in the way purely out of
personal reasons. "I am sorry,"
writes the musician, "that this sing
er, a member of the church, finds it
impossible to agree to the plan for
mulated by the official body, and I
am sure that this singer will regret,
in years to come, an act that impeded
the progress pf'the church. A church
member who fer any personal reason
stands in the way of obtaining the
best sermons and music so that men
and women may he drawn into the
church assumes a tremendous respon
sibility." Some one has referred to
choir as the war department, of the
church.
Police Doubt That Child
Was Lured From Playmates
Police are inclined to disbelieve
the theory that Jeannette Herman,
seven-year-old daughter of Carroll
K. Herman, West Falrview, was the
victim of a kidnaper last night, when
she apparently disappeared from
sight for about two hours. Accord
ing to tlio theory of Chief Wetzel, it
Is likely that the man who walked
away with the girl when he met her
and her companions at Sixth and
Forster streets about S o'clock, knew
her and intended taking her home.
According to word received last
night he accompanied her only
about a block and she reached her
home about 10.30 o'clock, after her
father had come to Harrisburg to
search for her.
According to W. E. Marshall. 629
Boas street, druggist, the little girl
came Into his store about 9.30 and
had a prescription filled, as she has
done repeatedly, her mother being
HI. She was alone, Dr. Marshall
said, and said nothing about being
lost or kidnaped.
According to Alma Kllnger, 10S
South" Court street, one of s the com
panions with the girl, a smooth
faced mnn, wearing a derby and
sack coat, approached them at Sixth
and Forster streets and after walk
ing with them under the Kllnger
girl's umbrella, offered the Herman
girl $1 If she would accompany him
to the pictures. She started off with
him, the Kllnger girl says, and was
not seen by her afterwnnls.

me, thai would be the end of me.
But if anything happened to you,
they could use you lor seed."
The Soldier now returned with a
long line and tied all three lirmly
together, also lashing them to the
body of the Saw-Horse; so- there
seemed little danger of their tumb
ling off.
"Now throw open the gates,"
commanded the Searcrow, "and we
will make a dash to liberty or to
death."
The courtyard in which they were
standing was located In the center
of the great palace, which surround
ed It .on all sides. But in one place
a passage led to an outer gate
way, which the Soldier had barred
by order of his sovereign. It was
through this gateway his Majesty
proposed to escape, and the lloyal
Army now led the Saw-Horse along
the passage and unbarred the gate,
which swung backward with a loud
crash.
"Now," said Tip to the horse,
">ou must save us all. Run as fast
as you can for the gate of the City,
and don't let anything stop you."
"All right!" answered the Saw-
Horse, gruffly, and dashed away so
suddenly that Tip had to gasp for
breath and hold firmly ,to the post
he had driven Into the creature's
neck.
Several of the girls, who stood
outside guarding tne palace, were
knocked over by the Saw-Horse's
mad rush. Others run screaming out
of the way, and only one or two
jabbed their knitting-needles' fran
tically at the escaping prisoners.
Tip got one small prick in his left
arm, which smarted for an hour
afterward; but the needles had no
effect upon the Scarecrow or Jack
I'umpkinhead, who never even sus
pected they were being prodded.
As for the Saw-llorse, he made a
wonderful record, upsetting a fruit
curb overturning several meek look
ing men, and iinally bowling over
the new Guardian of the Gate—a
fussy little fat woman appointed by
General J injur.
Nor did the impetuous charger
stop then. Once outside the walls
of the Emerald City he dashed
along the rad to the West with fast
and violent leaps that shook the
breath out of the boy and tilled the
Scarecrow with wonder.
Jack had ridden at this mad rate
once before, so he devoted every
effort to holding, with both hands,
his pumpkin head upon its stick, en
during meantime the dreadful jolt
ing with the courage of a philos
opher.
"Slow him up! Slow hint up!"
shouted the Scarcrow. "My straw is
all shaking down into my legs."
But Tip had no breath to speak,
so the Saw-llorse continued his wi'd
career unchecked and with un
abated speed.
Presently they came to the banks
of a wide river, and without a pause
the wooden steed gave one final leap
and launched them all in mid-air.
A second later they were rolling,
splashing and bobbtng about in the
water, the horse struggling franti
cally to find a rest for its feet and
its riders being first plunged be
neath the ranid current and then
floating upon the surface like corks.
