I hurried after Jim to the bushes which hide the top of the patch that dips toward the river between Mason Towers and the Harrison place. I got there just in time to spy a figure scurrying out of sight in the dusk of the path. "Evvy—by all that's certain!" ■Tim exclaimed. "Now. why should she be spying around here when we're over at her place? I'll ibet that silly little mother of hers isn't such a simpleton after all. and that she held us up so long purposely in order to give Evvy a chance to carry out some scheme oL' hers. But what ?" "What?" 1 echoed. "You can't make it out either, can you?" asked Jim. Some impulse of sex solidarity, some feeling of loyalty to the wom an I didn't like, held me from lay ing before Jim all my fears and doubts and suspicions. Bane wasn't here yet. How he'd act 1 couldn't surmise. And what sort of intlu cnce Jim would desire to have over him if. indeed, the lug brown bear could be swayed, I didn't know. "Well, nurse or no nurse, I'm go ing in to see Val," declared Jim. | "Jf Evvy's gotten past the qttend ants and in to Val the poor thing will need us." "I'd better not go in. Val doesn't want me. She ordered me out of the room yesterday. I'd only ag gravate her. You go alone. Jim." "Nonsense. You're coming right : in with me." "Please. Jim—l can't. Val doesn't want me." "Don't be petty, Anne. You aren't ] capable of sitting in judgment on a woman who's been through all Val ■ has suffered." "But I'd annoy her. Val doesn't want me." "A s.ck woman's fancies. If you ; have a soul. Anne, now's the time j to show it." j Jim seized my wrist and led me , up the hall toward the blue room. He knocked at Val's door. But there was no response. "Naturally," said Jim. consulting his watch. "This is tlie nurse's sup per hour, and poor Val may be too done up by her interview with Evvy to answer. You go in and see how the land lies." "Vlease. Jim" I began. But something in the nervous force of his manner silenced me— told me there would be no use argu ing with him, so I pushed open the door of the room where T was sure J'd be thoroughly unwelcome and entered. Val was cuddled under the covers j in a crumpled heap that shook and heaved suspiciously. "Val," I said almost pleadingly, ; "Val, it's Anne.

Jim and 1 were worried about you, so in spite of orders we are here." I With amazing force the covers 1 heaved back and Val bounced around to- face me. Iter face was | distorted by tears, and she was stili j in the throes of great, surging sobs, j She stared at me for a moment, blinking buck her tears and gulp ing down the emotion that shook | her. Then a strange look came over I her twisting face. It was something like triumph. Malice nt the least. "And now are you satislied she demanded." Has your spying shown you one thing you're better off for knowing? Are you any hap pier for making me so much more miserable than I need to be? Jim— Jim!" she cried, raising, her voice. Jim strode into the room. She held out her hand to him with the air of a poor frightened child wan dering in tlie dark. The change in her manner was astounding. She clung to Jim desperately, and I could see that the trust and the af fection she suggested were pleas ing to him. Everything in her sug gestion of helplessness and faith were calculated to flatter any man most of all my Jim. "Oh. Jimmie-boy, Jimmie-boy! If you've any pity at all. if your friendship for I>une prompts any tenderness for his wife, won't you make Anne leave me alone?" she moaned." She hates me and sus pects me of all the despicable things in the world. And she camps prying in here till the time under the guise of friendship. It's driving me mad! It's more than 1 can bear. Won't you keep her out of here? Won't you make her understand that I'm going to be free of her sur veillance if I have to insult her in front of the nurse. For your sake. I don't want to do that. But she's driving—she's driving me to it!" Humiliated and outraged T shrank from the woman I'd been trying to protect. I wanted to cry out that I hadn't a suspicion that would by now have been clear fact to everyone, if I had not done all in my power to cover her tracks. I wanted to defend myself from the missiles that were being burled at me before the eyes of my Jim. 1 felt sick at what he must think of me and the face Val was putting on the matter. There was a breathless moment of tense silence. Then I started toward the door, too hurt, too cow ed to saw a word. A great surge of bitterness rose in my heart against Jim, who had forced mo into tiie room where now 1 was insulted, and who permitted Val to play injured innocence and to paint me as an evil-minded harpy who was hound ing her in her sick and helpless state. "I told her yesterday never to darken my door again!" screamed Val. "I'm not in a condition to en dure her persecutions. Jim, Jim, don't let her take it out on me! Don't let her ruin my whole life! There seems nothing at which she'll stop"— I closed tlie door. I could stand no more. 1 heard Vol's voice going on and on—hurling invectives and reproaches at me no doubt. She was misinterpreting for her own ends every kindness I'd tried to render her, reading suspicion into my desire to protect her. All I'd wanted knowledge for was to pro tect Val from the consequences of her own deed —from Evvy first of all. And now this. I was shamed before, Jim. And Jim didn't defend me. T cowered against the door. Hop ing against hope, t waited for Jim to come to me. A minute passed. Another. Still Jim didn't appear, i crept down the hall to my room and flung myself face down on the bed. tearless but utterly miserable.

The only bait lie coud find was a bright red I blossom from a flower, but he knew I fishes are easy lo fool !f anything i bright attracts their attention, so he J decided to try the blossom. Having i thrown the end of his line in the I water of a nearby brook, lie soon felt a sharp tug that told him a tish : had bitten and was caught on the ! bent pin, so he drew in the string | and, sure enough, the lish came With j it and was landed safely on the ; shore, where it began to flop I around in great excitement. The tisii was fat und round, arul its scales glistened like beautifully- 1 out jewels set close together; but ! there was no time to examine it I closely, for Eureka made a jump and ! caught it between her claws, and in I a few moments it had entirely dis appeared. "Oh, Eureka," cried Dorothy, "did you eat the bones?" "if it had any bones, I ate them." replied the kitten, composedly, as it washed its face after the. meal; "but I don't think that tish had any j bones, because I didn't feel them I scratch my throat." "You were very greedy," said the j girl. "I was very hungry," replied the I kitten. The little pigs had stood huddled In a group watching this scene with frightened eyes. "Cats are dreadful creatures!" | said one of them. "I'm glad we are not fishes!" j said another. "Don't worry," Dorothy mur- j mured, soothingly; "I'll not let the ; kitten hurt you.' Then she happened to remember j that in a corner of her suit case j were one. or two crackers that were | left over from her luncheon on the I train, and she went to the buggy ; and brought them. Eureka stuckj up her nose at such food, but the | tiny piglets squealed delightedly at | the sight of the crackers and ate them up in a jiffy. "Now, let us go back to tlie city," suggested the Wizard. "That is, it Jim has had enough of the pink grass." The cab horse, who was browsing j near, lifted his head with a sigh. "I've tried to eat a lot while I ' had the chance," said he, "for .it's likely to be a long while between | meals in this strange country. But ! I'm ready to go, now, at any time | you wish." So, after the Wizard had put the piglets back into his inside pocket, where they cuddled up and went to sleep, the three climbed into the buggy and Jim started back to the town. "Where shall we stay?" asked the girl. "I think 1 shall take possession of the House of the Sorcerer, replied the Wizard, "for the Prince said in the presence of his people that he would keep me until they picked I another Sorcerer, and the new Princess won't know but that we belong there." They agreed to this plan, and when they reached the great square Jim drew the buggy into the big door of the domed hall. "It does't look very homelike," said Dorothy, gazing around at the bare room. "But it's a place to stay, anyhow." "What are those holes up there?" inquired the boy, pointing to some openings that appeared near the top of the dome. "They look like doorways," said Dorothy, "only there are no stairs to get to them." "you forget that stuirs are un necessary," observed the Wizard. "Bet us walk up and see where the doors lead to." With this he begun walking in the air toward the high opening, and Dorothy and Zeb followed him. It was the same sort of climb one experiences when walking up a hill, and they were nearly out of breath when they came to the row of open ings, which Ihey perceived to be doorways leading into halls in the upper part of the house. Follow- ( ing these halls, they discovered many small rooms opening from them, and some were furnished with glass benches, tables and chairs. But there were 110 beds at all. "I wonder if these people never sleep," said the girl. "Why. there seems to be no night j in this country," Zeb replied. "Those j colored suns are exactly in the same j place they were when we came, and, 1 if there is no sunset, there can be no night." "Very true," agreed the Wizard. I "tint it is a long time since I have j had any sleep, and I'm tired. So, I ; think I shall lie down upon one of I these hard glass benches and take 1 a nap." "1 will, too," said Dorothy, and chose a little room at the end of the j hall. The Mangaboos Prove Dangerous Eeb walked down again to unhar ness Jim. who, when he found him self free, rolled over a few times and then settled down to sleep, with Eureka nestling comfortably beside his big, honey body. Then the boy returned to on of the upper rooms ar.-d, in spite of the hardness of the Itlass bench, was soon deep in slum be rla nd. I When the Wizard awoke the ! six colored suns were shining down ! upon the Band of the Mangaboos j just as they had done ever since t his arrival. The little man, having had a good sleep, felt rested and refreshed, and looking through the glass partition of the room he saw Zeb sitting up on his bench and yawning. So the Wizard went in to him. "Zeb," saiil he, "my balloon is of no further use in this strange country, so 1 may its well leave it on the square where it fell. But in the basket are some things I would like to keep with me. 1 wish you would go and fetch my satchel, two lanterns and it can of kerosene oil that is under the seat. There is nothing else that I care about." So the boy went willingly upon the errand, and by the time he had returned Dorothy was awake. Then the three held it counsel to decide what they should do next, but could think of 110 way lo better their condition. "I don't like these veg-table people," said the little girl. "They're cold and tlabby like cab bages, in spite of their prettiness." "1 agree with you. • It is because there is no warm blood in them," remarked the Wizard. "And they have no hearts; so they can't love anyone—not even themselves." declared the boy. "The Princess is lovely to look at." continued Dorothy, thought fully: "but I don't care much for her, after all. If there was any other place to go, I'd like lo go there." "But is there any other place?" asked tlie Wizard. "I don't know," she answered. Just then they heard the big voice of Jim the cab-horse calling to them, and going to the doorway lending to f'e dome they found the Princess and a throng of her peo ple had entered the House of the Sorcerer. So they went down to greet the beautiful vegetable lady, who said to them: I have been talking with my ad visers übout you meant people, and we have decided that you do not belong in the Band of the Manga boos and must not remain here." "How can we go away?" asked I)o rothy. "Oh, you cunnot go away, of course: so you must be destroyed," was the answer. "In what way?" enquired the Wizard. "Wo shall throw you three peo ple into the Garden of the Twining The Sorcerer Shows His Magic I Vines," said the Princess, "and ; they will soon crush you and de ■ vour your bodies to make them- I selves grow bigger. The animals | you have with you we will drive to i the mountains and put into the j Black Pit. Then our country will jbe rid of all its unwelcome visi j tors." ! "But you arc in need* of a Kor j cerer," said the Wizard, "and not one of those growing >s yet ripe i enough to pick. I am I eater than J any thorn-covered sorcerer that I ever grew in your garden. Why I destroy mo?" | "It is true we need a Sor ! cerer," acknowledged the Princess, | "hut I am informed that one of our ! own will he ready to pick in a few i days, to take the place of Gwig I whom you cut in two lie fore it was j time for him to lie planted. Bet i us see your arts, and the sorceries ! j"t>u are able to perform. Then I ' w'll decide whether to destroy you •with the o f hors Or not." At this the Wizard made a bow to the people and repeated his .trick of producing the nine tiny rights rml making them disappear again, lie did it very cleverly, in ded. and the Princess looked tit the strange piglets as if she were as truly astonished as any vegetable person could he. But afterward she said: "I have heard of th ! s wonderful magic. But it accomplishes noth ing of value. What else can you do?" The Wizard tried to think Then he jointed together tlie, blades of his sword and balanced it very skillfully upon the end of his nose. But even that did not satisfy the Pflncess. Just then his eye fell upon the lanterns and the can of kerosene oil which Zeh had brought from thi' car of his hullnon, and he got a clever idea from those common place things. "Your Highness," said he, "1 will now proceed lo prove my magic by creating two suns that you have never seen before: nlso I will exhibit a Destroyer much more dreadful than your Clinging Vines." So he placed Dorothv upon one side of hint and the boy upon the other and set a lantern upon each of their lteads. "Don't laugh." he whispered to them, "or you will spoil the effect of my magic." Then, with much dignity and a look of vast importance upon his wrinkled face, tlie Wizard got out his match-box and lighted the two lanterns. The glare they made was very small when compared with the radiance of the six great Colored suns: but still . they gleamed steadily and clearly. The Mangaboos were much impressed because they had never before seen any light that did not come direct ly from their suns. Next the Wizard poured a pool of oil from the can upon the glass DECEMBER 13, 1919 floor, where it covered quite a broad surface. When he lighted the oil a hundred tongues of ilame 'shot up, and tire effect was really imposing. "Now, Princess." exclaimed the Wizard, "those of your advisers who wish to throw us into the Gar den oi the Flinging Vines must step within this circle of light. If the.i advised ..von well, and were in tlie right, they will not lie injured in any. way. Hut if any advised oil wrongly, the light will wither him." [ The advisers of the Princess did I not like this tost; but she com j manded them to step into the I flume and one by one they did so, | and were scorched so badly tliat j tlie air was soon Idled with an • odor like that of baked potatoes, j Some of tlie Mangaboos fell down and had to be dragged from the , lire, and all were so withered that jit would he necessary lo plant thorn at once, i "Sir," said the Princess to the j AN izard, "you are greater than any j Sorcerer we have ever known. As it is evident that my people have advised me wrongly, 1 will not cast you three people into the dreadful Garden of the Clinging Vines; out your animals must he driven into i the Black Pit in the mountain, . lor my subjects cannot bear to have them around." The Wizard was so pleased to have saved Ihe two children and himself that he said nothing against this decree; but when the Princess had gone both Jim and Eureka protested they did not want to go to the Black Pit, and Dorothy promised she would do all that she could to save them from such a fate. For two or three days after this —if we call days the periods be tween sleep, there being no night lo divide the hours into days—our friends were not disturbed in any way. They ivere eCen permitted to occupy tlie House of the Sorcerer In pence: ■as if it had been their Own. iind to wander in the gardens in search of food. Once they came near to the en closed Garden of tlie Clinging Vines, and walking high into the air looked down upon it with much interest. They saw a muss of tough green vines ail matted together and writhing and twisting around like a nest of great snakes. Every thing the vines touched they crushed, and our adventurers were indeed thankful to have escaped being east among them. t Editor's Note—ln next week's chapter "Tlie Black Pit," our friends are all driven into a cave in the side of a mountain and it seems as if they must surely starve. But nothing very bad has hap pened to them yet, has it? Po it is likely that they will come to no harm, isn't it?
