StorieSjofOZtt rrank p-" rffflfe a Ur After an hour or so most of the band of Wheelers rolled back into the forest, leaving only three of their number to guard the hills. These curled themselves up like b[g dogs and pretended to go to sleep on the sands; but neither Dorothy nor Billina were fooled by this trick, so they remained in security among the rocks and paid no attention to their cunning enemies. Flnnlly the hen, fluttering over the mound, exclaimed: "Why, here's a path!" So Dorothy at once clamored to where Billina sat, and there, sure enough, was a smooth path cut be tween the rocks. It seemed to wind around the mound from top to bot tom, like a cork-screw, twisting-here and there between the rough bould ers .but always remaining level and easy to walk upon. Indeed, Dorothy wondered at first why the Wheelers did not roll up this path: but when she followed It to the' foot of the mound she found that several big pieces of rock had been placed directly across the end of the way, thus preventing any one outside from seeing It and also pre venting the Wheelers from using It to climb up the' mound. Then Dorothy walked back up the path, and followed it until she came to the very top of the hill, where a solitary round rock stood that was bigger than any of the others sur rounding it. The path came to an end Just beside this great rock, and for a moment it puzzled the girl to know why the path had been made at all. But the hen. who had been gravely following her around and was now perched upon a point of rock behind Dorothy, suddenly re marked: "It looks something like a door, doesn't it?" "What looks like a door?" en quired the child. "Why, that crack in the rock, just facing you," replied Billlna, whose little round eyes were very sharp and seemed to see everything. "It runs up one side and down the other, and across the top and" the bottom." "What does?" "Why, the crack. So 1 think It must be. a door of rock, although I do not see any hinges." "Oh, yes," said Dorothy, now ob serv'ng for the first time the crack in the rock. "And Isn't this a key hole, Billina?" pointing to a tuund, deep hole at one side of the door. "Of course. If we only had the key, now, we could unlock it and see what is there," replied the yellow hen. "May be It's a treasure cham ber full of diamonds and rubies, or heaps of shining gold, or " "That reminds me," said Dorothy, "of the golden key I picked up on the shore. Do you think that" it would fit this key-hole,' Billina?" "Try it and see," suggested \the hen. So Dorothy searched in the pocket of her dress and found the golden key." And when she had put it into the hole of the rock, and turned it, a sudden sharp snap was heard; then with a solemn creak that made the shivers run down the child's back, the face of the rock fell out | ward, like a door on hinges, and re vealed a small dark chamber Just Inside. "Good gracious!" cried Dorothy, shrinking back as far as the narrow path would let her. For, standing within the narrow chamber of rock, was the form of a man—or, at least, it seemed like a man, in the dim light. He was only about as tall as Dorothy herself, and his body was round as a ball and made out of burnished copper. Also his head and limbs wore copper, and these were jointed or V> n £ e <i to his body in a peculiar way, with metal cups over the joints, like the armor worn by knights in days of old. He stood perfectly still, and where the light struck upon his form it glittered as if made of pure gold. "Don't be frightened," called Billina, from her perch. "It Isn't alive," "I see It Isn't." replied the girl, drawing a long breath. "It's only made out of copper, like the old kettle in the barnyard at home," continued the hon, turning her head first to one side and then to the other, so that both her little round eyes could examine the object. "Once," said Dorothy, "I knew a man made out of tin who was a woodman named Nick Chopper. He was as alive as we are, 'cause he was born a real man, and got his tin body a little at a time—first a leg and then a finger- and then an ear —for the reason that he had so many accidents with his ax, and cut himself up in a very careless manner." "Oh," said the hen, with a snilt, as. if she did not believe the story. "But tills copper man," continued Dorothy, looking at it witli big eyes, "is not alive at all, and I wonder what it was made for, and why it was locked up in this queer place." "That is a mystery," remarked the hen, twisting her head to arrange her wing-feathers with her bill. Dorothy stepped inside the little room to get a back view of the cop per man, and In this way discovered a printed card that hung between liis shoulders* It being suspended from a small copper peg at the back of his neck. She unfastened this card and returned to the path, where the light was better, and sat herself down upon a slab of rock to read the printing, "What does it say?" asked the hen, curiously. Dorothy read the card aloud, spell ing out the big words with some dif ficulty; and this Is what she read; SMITH & TINKER'S Patent Double-Action, Extra-Respon sive, Thought-Creating, Perfect-Talking MECHANICAL MAN Fitted with our Special Clock-Work Attachment. Thinks, Speaks, Acts, and Does Everything but Live. Manufactured only at our works at Rvnn, Land of Ev. All infringe ments will be promptly Prosecuted according to Law. "How queer!" said the yellow hen. "Do you think that is all true, my dear?" s "I don't know," answered Dorothy, who had more to read. "Listen to tills, Bllllna." DIRECTIONS FOR USINQ: For THINKING.

"Well, I deolare!" gasped the yel HARRISBURG tSSSEW TET Tik-Tok the Machine Man The Copper Man Walked Out of the Rocky Cavern low hen. In amazement; "It the cop per man can do halt of these things he is a very wonderful machine. But I suppose it is all humbug, like so in any other patented articles." "We might wind him up." sug gested Dorothy, "and see what he'll do." "Where is the key to the clock work?" asked Billina. "Hanging on the peg where I found the card." "Then," said the hen. "let us try him, and find out if he will go. He Is warranted for a thousand years, it seems; but we do not know how long he has been standing inside this rock." Dorothy hal aleardey taken the clock key from the peg. "Which shall I wind up first?" (he asked, looking again at the directions on the card. "Number One, I should think," re turned Billina. "That makes him think, doesn't it?" "Yes." said Dorothy, and wound up Number One. under the left arm. "He doesn't seem any different." remarked the hen, critically. "Why, of course not; he Is only thinking, now," said Dorothy. "I wonder what he is thinking about." "I'll wind up his talk and then perhaps he can tell us." said the girl. So she wound up Number Two. and Immediately the clock-work man said, without moving any pa.rt of his body except his lips: "Good morn-lng, lit-tle girl. Good morn-ning, Mrs. Hen." The words sounded a little hoarse and creakey, and they were uttered all in the same tone, without any change of of expression whatever; but both Dorothy and Billina under stood them perfectly. "Good morning, sir," they an swered, politely. "Thank you for res-Cu-ing me." continued the machine, in the same monotonous voice, which seemed to be worked by a bellows Inside of him, like the little toy lambs ar.d cats the children squeeze so that they will make a noise. > Don't mention it," answered Dorothy. And then, being very cur ious. she asked: "How did you come to be locked up in this place" "It is a long sto-ry," replied the copper man; "but I will tell it to you brief-ly. I was purchased from Smith & Tin-ker, my man-u-fac-tur ers, by a cruel King of Ev, named Ev-01-do, who used to beat all his servants un-til they died. How-ev er, he was not a-ble to kill me, be cause I was not n-llve, und one must first live in or-dor to die. So thgt all his beat-lng did me no barm, and mere-ly kept my cop-per bod-y well polished. "This cru-el king had a lovely wife and hen beau-ti-ful children five boys and five girls—but in a fit of an-ger he sold them all to the N me King, who by means of his mag-ic arts changed them all in-to oth-er forms and put them in his un der-ground pal-ace to or-nament the rooms. "Af-ter-ward the King of Ev re gret-ted his wick-ed ac-tion, and tried to get his wife and chil-dren a-way from the Nomfe King, but wlth-out a-vail. So, in de-spair, he locked me up in this rock, threw the key ln-to the o-cean, and then jumped in af-ter it and was drowned." "How very dreadful!" exclaimed Dorothy. "It is, in-deed," said the machine. "When X found iny-self im-prisoned I shout-ed for help un-til my voice ran down; .nd then I walked back ahd forth In this lit-tle room un-til my ac-tlon ran down; and then I stood still and thought! Un-til my thoughts ran down. Af-ter that I re-member noth-ing un-til you wound me up a-gain." , "It's a very wonderful story," said Dorothy, "and proves that the Land of Ev is really a fairy land, as I thought It was." "Of course it Is," answered the copper man. "I do not suppose such a per-fect ma-chlne as I am could be made in an-y place but a fair-y land." "I've never seen one In Kansas," said Dorothy. "But where did you get the key to un-lock this door?" aHkcd the clock-work voice. "I found it on the shore where it was prob-ly washed up by the waves," she answered. "And now, sir, if you don't mind I'll wind up your action." "That will please me ve-ry much." said the machine. So she wound up Number Three, and at once the copper man in a somewhat stiff and Jerky fashion walked out of the rock cavun, look off his copper hat and bowed politely, and then kneeled before Dorothy. Said he: "From this time forth I am your o-be-di-ent ser-vant. What-ev-er you command, that I will do will ing-ly—if you keep me wound up. "What is your name?" she asked. "Tik-tok," he replied.

"That's nice," said the little girl; "only I never wish to get up in the morning." "You can sleep until I lay my egg," paid the yellow hen. "Then n hen I cackle, Tlktok will know it is time to waken you." "Do you lay your egg very early?" asked Dorothy. "About eight o'clock," said Billina. "And everybody ought to be up by that time, I'm sure." Editor's Note—The next story "Dorothy Opens the Dinner Pail" tells us of the wonderful goodies Dorothy found.
