"Know ing no better, I used my arms as well as my legs for walking, and crawling under the edges of stones or hid among the roots of grasses with no thought beyond finding a A Highly Magnified History few insects smaller than myself to feed upon. "The chill nights rendered me stiff and motionless, for I wore no clothing, but each morning the warm rays of the sun gave me new life and restored me to activity. A horrible existence is this, but you must remember it is the regularly ordained existence of AVoggle-Bugs, as well as of many other tiny crea tures that inhabit the earth. ( "But Destiny had singled me out, humble though I was, for a grander fate! One day I crawled near to a country school house, and my curi osity being excited by the monoton ous hum of the students within, I made bold to enter and creep along a crack between two boards until I reached the far end, where, in front of a hearth of glowing em bers, sat the master at his desk. "No one noticed so small a crea ture as a Woggle-Bug, and when I found that the hearth was even warmer and more comfortable than the sunshine, I resolved to establish my future home beside it. So I found a charming nest between two bricks and hid myself therein for many, many months. "Professor Nowitall is, doubtless, the most famous scholar in the land of Oz, and after a few days 1 began to listen to the lectures and dis courses he gave to his pupils.

"Education is a thing to Ibe proud of. I'm educated myself. I The mess of brains given me by the Great Wizard is considered by my I friends to be unexcelled." ! "Nevertheless," interrupted the ] Tin AVoodman, "a good heart is, I I believe, much more desirable than education or brains.". "To me," said the Saw-Horse, "a good leg is more desirable than I either." "Could seeds be considered in the <# The Students Stood Up On Their Stools." light of brains?" Inquired the Pumpkinliead, abruptly. "Keep quiet!" commanded Tip, sternly. "Very well, dear Father," an swered the obedient Jack. The Woggle-Bug listened patiently —even respectfully—to these re marks, and then resumed his story. "I must have lived fully three years in that secluded schoolhouse hearth," said ho, "drinking thirstily of the ever-flowing fount of limpid knowledge before me." "Quite poetical," commented the Scarecrow, nodding his head approv ingly . "But one day," continued the Bug, "a marvelous circumstance occured that altered my very existence and brought me to my present pinnacle of greatness. The Professor dis covered me in the act of crawling across the hearth, and before I could escape he had caught me between his thumb and forefinger. "My dear children,' said he, 'I have captured a Woggle-Bug—a very rare and interesting specimen. Do any of you know what a Woggle- Bug is?' " 'No!' yelled the scholars, in chorus. " 'Then,' said the Professor, 'I will get out my famous magnifying glass and throw the insect upon a screen in a highly-magnified con dition, that you may all study care fully its peculiar construction and become acquainted with its habits and manner of life." "He then brought from a cup board a most curious instrument, and before I could realize what had happened I found myself thrown up on a screen in a highly-magnified state —even as you now behold me. "The students stood up on their stools and craned their heads forward and to get a better view of me, and two little girls Jumped upon the sill of an open window where they could see more plainly. "'Behold!' cried the Professor, in a loud voice, 'this highly magni fied Woggle-Bug; one of the most curious insects in existence!' "Being Thoroughly Educated, and knowing what is required of a cul tured gentleman, at this juncture I stood upright and, placing my hand upon my bosom, made a very polite bow. My action, being unexpected, must have startled them, for one of the little girls perched upon the window-sill gave a screapi and fell backward out of the window, draw ing her companion with her as she disappeared. "The Professor uttered a cry of horror and rushed away through the door to see if the poor child ren were injured by the fall. The scholars followed after him in a wild mob, and I was left alone in the schoolroom, still in a Highly-Magni fied state and free to do as I pleased. "It immediately occured to me that this was a good opportunity to escape. I was proud of my great size, and realized that now I could safely travel anywhero in the world, while my superior culture would make me a fit associate for the most learned person I might chance to meet. "So, while the Professor picked the little girls—who were more frightened than hurt —off the ground, and the pupils clustered around him," closely grouped, I calmly walked out of the school house. turned a (/irner, and escaped unnoticed to a grove of trees that stood near." "Wonderful!" exclaimed the Pumpkinhead, admiringly. "It was, indeed," agreed the Woggle-Bug. "I have never ceased to congratulate myself for escaping while I was Highly Magnified: for even my excessive knowledge would have proved of little use to me had I remained a tiny, insignificant in [ sect." I "I didn't know before." said Tip, I looking at the Woggle-Bug with a puzzled expression, "that insects wore clothes." "Nor do they, in their 'natural state," returned the stranger. "Hut in the course of my wanderings I had the good fortune to save the ninth life of a tailor—tailors having, like cats, nine lives, as you probably know. The fellow was exceedingly grateful, for had he lost that ninth life it would have been the end of him; so lie begged' permission to furnisli me with the stylish costume I now wear. It fits very nicely, does it not?" and the Woggle-Bug stood up and turned himself around slowly, that all might examine his person. "He must have been a good tail or," said the Searecrqw, somewhat enviously. "He was a good-hearted tailor, at any rate," observed Nick Chopper. "Ilut where were you going, when you met us?" Tip asked the Woggle- Bug. "Nowhere in particular," was the reply, "although it is my intention soon to visit the Emerald City and arrange to give a course of lectures to select audiences on the 'Advant ages of Magnification.' " "We are bound for the Emerald City now," said the Tin Woodman; so, if it plcuses you to do so you are welcome to travel in our com pany." The Woggle-Bug bowed with pro found grace. It_ will give me great pleasure," said he, ' to accept your kind invita tion; for nowhere in the Land of Oz could I hope to meet with so con genial a company." "That is true," acknowledged the Pumpkinhead. "We are quite as congenial as flies and honey." "But—pardon me if I seem in quisitive—are you not all rather — ahem!—rather unusual?" asked the Woggle-Bug, looking from one to another with unconcealed interest. "Not more so than yourself," an swered the Scarecrow. "Everything in life is unusual until you get ac customed to it." "What rare philosophy!" exclaim ed the Woggle-Bug, admiringly. "Yes; my brains are working well to-day," admitted the Scarecrow, an accent of pride in his voice. "Then, if you are sufficiently rest ed and refreshed, let us bend our steps toward the Emerald City," suggested the magnified one. "We can't," said Tip. "The Saw- Horse has broken a leg, so he can't bend his steps. And there is no wood around to make him a new limb from. And we can't leave the horse behind because the Pumpkin head is so stiff in his joints that he has to ride." "How very unfortunate!" cried the Woggle-Bug. Then he looked the party over carefully and said: "If the Pumpkinhead is to ride, why not use one of his legs to make a leg for the horse that carries him? I Judge that both are made of wood." "Now, that is what I call real cleverness," said the Scarecrow, ap provingly. "I wonder my brains did not think of that long ago! Oct to work, my dear Nick, and fit the Pumpkinhcad's leg to the Saw- Horse." Jack was not especially pleas ed with this Idea; but he submitted to haying his left leg amputated by the Tin Woodman and whittle down to fit the left leg of the Saw-Horse. Nor was the Saw-Horse especially pleased with the operation, either; for he growled a good deal about being 'butchered," as ho called it, and afterward declared that the new leg was a disgrace to a res pectable Saw-Horse. "I beg you to be more careful in your speech," said the Pumpkinhead, sharply. "Remember, if you please, tnat it is my log you are abusing." I cannot forget it," retorted the Saw-Horse, "for it is quite as flimsy as the rest of your person." "Flimsy! me flimsy;" cried Jack, a r ~s e ' " How dar you call me flimsy?" "Because you are built as ab surdly as a jumping jack," sneered the horse, rolling his knotty eyes in a vicious manner. "Even your head won t stay straight, and you never can tell whether you are looking backwards or forward!" "Friends, I entreat you not to quarrel!" pleaded the Tin Woodman, anxiously. "As a matter of fact, we are none of us above criticism; so let us bear with each others' faults." .1. excellent suggestion," said the Woggle-Bug, approvingly. "You must have an excellent heart, mv metallic friend." "I have." returned Nick, well pleased. "My heart is quite the best part of me. But now let us start upon our journey." They perched the one-legged Pumpkinhead upon the Saw-Horse, j and tied him to his seat with cords, so that he could not possibly fall off. And then, following the lead of the Scarecrow, they ull advanced in the direction of the Emerald City.
