Walking a little way back from
the water's edge, toward the grove
of trees, Dorothy came to a flat
stretch of white sand that seemed
to have queer signs marked upon its
surface. Just as one would write
upon sand with a stick.
"What does It say?" she asked the
yellow hen, who trotted along be
side her in a rather dignified fash
ion.
"How should I know?" retorted
the hen. "I cannot read."
"Oh! Can't you?"
"Certainly not; I've never been to
school, yon know."
"Well, I have," admitted Dorothy;
'Tint the letters are big and far apart
and It's hard to spell out the words."
But she looked at each letter care
fully, and finally discovered that
these letters werp~ written in the
sand:
'BEWARE THE WHEELERS!'
"That's rather strange," declared
the hen, when Dorothy had road
aloud the words. "What do you
suppose the Wheelers are?"
"Folks that wheel, I guess. They
must have wheelbarrows, or baby
cabs, or hand-carts," said Dorothy.
"Perhaps they're automobiles,"
suggested the yellow hen. "There is
no need to beware of baby-cabs and
wheelbarrows; but automobiles are
dangerous things. Several of my
friends have been run over by them."
_.", It ..^ an ' t be auto 'biles," replied the

"Over to those trees, to see If I can
find some fruit or nuts," answered
Dorothy.
She tramped across the sand,
skirting the foot of one of the little
rocky hills that stood near, and soon
reached the edge of the forest.
At first she was greatly disap
pointed, because the nearer trees
were all punita, or Cottonwood or
eucalyptus, and bore no fruit or nuts
at all. But bye and bye when she
was almost in despair, the little girl
came upon two trees that promised
to furnish her with plenty of food.
One was quite full of square paper
boxes, which grew in clusters on all
the limbs and upon the biggest and
ripest boxes the word "Lunch" which
could be read, in neat raised letters.
This tree seemed to bear all the year
around, for there were lunclibox
blossoms on some of the branches,
and others tiny lunch boxes that
were as yet quite green, and evident
ly not fit to eat until they had grown
bigger.
The leaves of this tree were all
paper napkins, and it presented a
very pleasing appearance to the
hungry little girl.
But the next tree to the lunch box
tree, was even mpre wonderful, for
I it bore quantities of tin dinner pails,
I which were so full and heavy that
| the stout branches bent under their
weight. Some were small and dark
j brown in color; those larger were of
a dull tin color; but the really ripe

Letters in the Sand
the rays of sunshine that touched
them.
Dorothy was delighted and even
the yellow hen acknowledged that
she was surprised.
The little girl stood on tip-toe and
picnic one of the nicest and biggest
lunch boxes, and then she sat down
upon the ground and eagerly opened
it. Inside she found, nicely wrapped
in white papers, a ham sandwich, a
piece of sponge-cake, a pickle, a slice
of new cheese and an apple. Each
thing had a separate stem, and so
had to be picked off the side of the
"It's a Wheeler!"
box; but Dorothy found them all to
be delicious, and she ate every bit of
luncheon in the box before she had
finished.
"A lunch isn't zactly breakfast," she
said to Billiana, who sat beside her
curiously watching. "But when one
is hungry one can eat even supper in
the mornirvg, and not complain."
"I hope your lunch box was per
fectly ripe," observed the yellow hen,
in an anxious tone. "So much sick
ness is caused by eating green
things."
"Oh, I'm sure it was ripe," de
clared Dorothy, "all that Is, 'cept the
pickle, and a pickle Just has to be
green. Billina. But everything tast
ed perfectly splendid, and I'd rather
have It than a church picnic. And
now I think I'll pick a dinner pail
to have when I get hungry again,
and then we'll start out and 'splore
the country, and see where we are."
"Haven't you any idea what coun
try this is?" inqulried Billina.
"None at all. But listen: I'm
quite sure it's a fairy country, or
such things as lunch boxes and din
ner palls wouldn't be growing upon
trees. Besides, Billina, being a hen,
you wouldn't be able to talk in any
clv'lized country like Kansas, where
no fairies live at all."
"Perhaps we're in the Land of
Oz," said the hen thoughtfully.
"No, that can't be," answered the
little girl; because I've been to the
Land of Oz and it's all surrounded
by a horrid desert that no one can
cross."
"Then how did you get away from
there again?" asked Billina.
"I had a pair of silver shoes, that
carried me through the air; but I
lost them," said Dorothy.
"Ah, indeed," remarked the yellow
hen, in a tone of unbelief.
"Anyhow," resumed the girl, "there
Is no seashore near the Land of Oz,
so this must surely be some other
fairy country."
"While she was speaking she se
lected a bright and pretty dinner
pail that seemed to have a stout
handle, and picked it from its branch.
Then, accompanied by the yellow
hen, she walked out of the shadow
of the trees toward the seashore.
They were part way across the
sands when Billina suddenly cried,
in a voice of terror:
"What's that—"
Dorothy turned quickly around
and saw coming out of a path that
led from between the trees the most
peculiar person her eyes had ever
beheld.
It had the form of a man, ex
cept that it walked, or rather rolled,
upon%ll fours, and its legs were the
same length as its arms, giving them
tho appearance of the four legs of a
beast. Yet it was no beast that
Dorothy had discovered, for the per
son was clothed most gorgeously in
embroidered garments of many col
ors, and wore a straw hat perched
jauntily upon the side of its head.
But it differed from human beings
in this respect, that instead of hands
and feet there grew at the end of
its arms and legs round wheels, and
by means of these wheels it rolled
very swiftly over the level ground.
Afterward Dorothy found that these
odd wheels were of tho same hard
substance that our finger-nails and
toe-nails are composed of, and ahe
also learned that creatures of this
strange race were born in this queer
fashion. But when our little girl
first caught sight of the first indivi
dual of a race that was destined to
cause, her a lot of trouble, she had
an idea that the brilliantly-clothed
personage was on roller skates,
which were attached to his hands as
well as to his feet.
"Run!" screamed the yellow hen,
fluttering away in great fright. "It's
a Wheeler!"
"A Wheeler?" exclaimed Dorothy.
"What can that be?"
"Don't you remember the warn
ing in the sand: 'Beware the
Wheelers?' Run, I tell you—run!"
So Dorothy ran, and the Wheeler
gave a sharp, wild cry and came
after her in full chase.
Looking over her shoulder as she
ran, the girl now saw a great pro
cession of Wheelers emerging from
the forest dozens and dozens of
them—all clad In splendid, tlght-lit
ting garments and all rolling swiftly
toward her and uttering their wild,
strange cries.
"They're sure to catch us!"'> pant
ed the girl, who was still carrying
the heavy dinner-pail she had pick
ed. "I can't run much further,
Billina." ,
"Climb up this hill—quick!"
said tho hen; and Dorothy found
she was very near to the heap of
loose and Jagged rocks they had
passed on their way to the forest.
The yellow hen was even now flutter
ing among the rocks, and Dorothy
followed as best she could, half
climbing and half tumbling up tho
rough and rugged steep .
She was none too soon, for the
foremost Wheeler reached the hill a
moment after her; but while the
girl scrambled up the rocks the
creature stopped short with howls of
rage and disappointment.
Dorothy now heard the yellow
hen laughing In her cackling,
henny way.
"Don't hurry, my dear," cried
Billina. "They can't follow us
among these rocks, so we're safe
enough now."
Dorothy stunned at once and
sat down upon a broad boulder, for
she was all out of breath.
The rest of the Wheelers had now
reached the foot of the hill, but it
was evident that their wheels would
not roll upon the rough and jagged
rocks, and therefore they were help- j
less to follow Dorothy and the hen j
to where they had taken refuge.
But they circled all around the little !
hill, so the child and Billina were j
fast prisoners and could not come
down without being captured.
Then the creatures shook their
front wheels at Dorothy in a threat
ening manner, and it seemed they
were able to speak as well as to
make their dreadful outcries, for
several of them shouted:
"We'll get you in time, never
fear! And when wo do get you,
we'll tear you into little bits!"
"Why are you so cruel to mo?"
asked Dorothy. "I'm a stranger in
your country, and have done you no
harm."
"No harm!" cried one who seem
ed to be their leader. "Did you not
pick our lunch-boxes and dinner
pails? Have you not a stolen dinner
pail still in your hand?"
"I only picked one of each," she
answered. "I was hungry, and I
didn't know the trees were yours."
"That is no excuse," retorted the
leader, who was clothed in a most
gorgeous suit. "It is the law here
that whoever picks a dinner-pail
without our permission must die im
mediately."
"Don't you believe him," said
Billina. "I'm sure the trees do not
belong to these awful creatures.
They are fit for any mischief, and
it's my opinion they would try to
kill us just the same tf you hadn't
picked a dinner-pail."
"I think so, too," agreed Doro
thy. "But what shall we do now?"
"Stay where we are," advised the
yellow hen. "We are safe from the
Wheelers until we starve to death,
anyhow ;and before that time comes
a good many things can happen."
