' Want Former Emperor to Take Active Part Bn Associated Press. Paris, Aug. 16. —Dignitaries of 1 the former Austrian regime have re iterated their requests that former Emperor Charles assume an active part in Austrian affairs, according to a dispatch received here from Zurich. It is said that the former monarch was sounded on the sub ject before Archduke Joseph seized control at Budapest. The last discussion is reported to have been quite long, emissaries at tempting to show the erstwhile em peror and king that the archduke's assumption of power in Hungaty made his chances brighter, but he was reluctant to consent and no de cision was reached. After the con- I ference had lasted for three hours. | former Empress Zita, who was ptes- I ent. finally said: „ "I have had enough talking, gen tlemen.

At this Ozmn, who had been listen ing carefully to the conversation, called to Dorothy from her chariot, asking: "Why did the Princess lock you up, my dear?" "Because," exclaimed Dorothy, "I wouldn't let her have my head for her collection, and take an old, cast-off head in exchange for it." "I do not blame you," exclaimed Ozma, promptly. "I will see the I rincess at once, and oblige her to liberate you." "Oh, thank you very, very much!" ■ ried Dorothy, who as soon as she ward the sweet voice of the girlish Ruler of Ox knew that she would soon learn to *ove her dearly.

"I regret to say that you are gr.eatly inferior to my friend the Scarecrow, and to myself. For we are both alive, and he l.as brains which do not need to be wound up, while I have an ex cellent heart that is continually beat ing in my bosom." "I con-grat-u-late you," replied Tik tok. "I cannot help being your in-fer i-or for I am a mere ma-chine. When I am wound up I do my du-ty by going just as my ma-chin-er-y is made to go. You have no i-dea how full of ma chin-er-y I am." "I can guess," said the Scarecrow, looking at the machine man curiously. "Some day I'd like to take you apart 4 and see just how you are made." "Bo not do that. I beg of you," said Tiktok; "for you could not put me to gcth-er again, and my use-ful-ness would be destroyed." "Oh! are you useful " asked the Scarecrow, surprised. "Ve-ry," said Tiktok. "In that case." the Scarecrow kindly promised, "I won't fool with your in i terior at all. For I an a poor me chanic, and might mix you up." "Thank you," said Tiktok. Just then Ozma re-entered the room, leading Dorothy by the hand and fol lowed closely by the Princess I-ang widere.
