Dorothy Picks The Princess
| They stood before the Royal Bush
I of the Mungaboos in silent admtrn-
I tion. On the central stalk stood
i poised the tigure of a girl so exquis
-1 itely formed and colored and so
Movely in tho expression of her deli
i cato features, that Dorothy thought
I she had never seen so sweet and
adorable a creature in all her life.
The maiden's gown was soft as satin
and fell about her in ample folds,
while dainty lacelike traceries
trimmed the bodice and sleeves. Her
flesh was line and smooth as pol
ished ivory, and her poise expressed
both dignity and grace.
"Who is this?" asked the Wizard,
curiously.
The Prince had been staring hard
at the girl on the bush. Now he
answered .with a touch of uneasi
ness in his cold tones:
"She is the Ruler destined to be
.my successor, for she is a Royal
Princess. When she becomes fully
ripe I must abandon tho sovereignty
of the Mangaboos to her."
"Isn't she ripe now?" asked Dor
othy.
He hesitated.
"Not quite," said he finally. "It
will be several days before she needs
to be picked, or at least that is my
judgment, 1 am in no hurry to re
sign my oftice and he planted, you
may be sure."
"Probably not," declared the Viz
ard, nodding.
"This is one of the most unpleas
ant things about our vegetable
lives," continued the Prince, with a
sigh, "that while wc are in our full
[prime we must give way to another,
and be covered up in the ground to
sprout and grow and give birth to
other people."
"I'm sure the Princess is ready
to lie picked," asserted Dorothy,
gazing hard at the beautiful girl on
the bush. "She's as perfect as she
can be."
"Never mind," answered the
Prince hastily, "she will be. all
right for a few days longer, and it
is best for me to rule until I can
dispose of you strangers, who have
come to our land uninvited and
must be attended to at once."
"What are you going to do with
us?" asked Zeb.
"That is a matter T have not
quite decided upon," was the reply.
"I think T shall keep this Wizard
until a new Sorcerer is ready to pick,
for he seems quite skillful and may
be of use. to us. But the rest of you
must be destroyed in some way, and
you cannot be planted, because I do
not wish horses and cats and meat
people growing all over our country."
"You needn't worry" said Dorothy.
"We wouldn't grow under ground,
I'm sure."
"But why destroy my friends?"
asked the little Wizard. "Why not
let them live?"
"They do not belong here," re
turned the Prince. "They have no
right to be inside the earth at all."
"We didn't ask to come down here:
we fell," said Dorothy.
"That is no excuse," declared the
Prince, coldly.
The children looked at each other
in perplexity, and the Wizard
sighed. Eureka rubbed her paw on
her face and said in her soft, purring
voice:
"He won t need to destroy me, for
if I don't get something to eat pretty
soon I shall starve to death, and so
save him the trouble."
"If he planted you, he might
grow some cat-tails," suggested the
Wizard.
"Oh, Eureka! perhaps we can find
you some milk-weeds to eat .said
the boy.
"Phoo!" snarled the kitten: "I
wouldn't touch the nastv things!"
"You don't need milk, Eureka,
remarked Dorothy:" "you are big
enough now to eat any kind of food."
"If I can get it," added Eureka.

'We salute your Royal Highness!" cried the Wizard, kneeling
and kissing her hand.
"I'm hungry myself," said Zeb.
"But I noticed some strawberries
growing in one of the gardens, and
some melons In another place. These
people don't eat suoli things, so per
haps on our way back they will let
us get them."
"Never mind your hunger," inter
rupted the Prince. "I shall order
you destroyed in a few minutes, so
you will have no need to ruin our
pretty melon v ines and berry bushes.
Follow me, please, to meet your
doom."
The words of the eoid and moist
vegetable Prince were not very eom
forting and as be spoke to them lio
turned away and left the enclosure.
The children, feeling sad, despon
dent, were about to follow him
when the Wizard touched Dorothy
softly on her shoulder.
"Wait!" he whispered,
"What for?" asked the girl.
"Suppose we pick the Royal Prin
cess," said the Wizard. "I'm quite
sure she's ripe, and as soon as she
comes to life she will be the Ruler,
and may treat us better than that
heartless Prince intends to."
"All right!" exclaimed Dorothy,
eagerly. "Let' 3 pick her while we
have the chance, before the man
with the star comes back."
So together they leaned over the
great bush and each of them seized
one hand of the lovely Princess,
"Pull!" cried Dorothy, and as they
did so the royal lady leaned toward
them and the stems snapped and sep
arated from her feet. She was not
at all heavy, so the Wizard and Dor
othy managed to lift her, gently to
the ground.
The. beautiful creature passed her
hands over her eyes an instant,
tucked in a stray lock of hair that
had become disarranged, and after
a look around the garden made
those present a graeious bow and
said, in a sweet but even-toned
voice: •
1 thank you very much."

BASEBALL STRIKE
AGAIN IN SIGHT
Players Arc Holding Out For
Higher Salaries; Follow
Ruth Plan
Chicago, Dec. 27.—New contracts
for the 1920 season must be proffered
approximately ninety per cent, of the
regular players on major league base
ball clubs, expert followers of the
game said here to-day. That condi
tion, with the increased interest dis
played in the national pastime they
said, probably will result in a number
of players following Babe Ruth, the
Boston American pitcher and out
fielder, in demands for increased sal
aries.
Retrenchments effected for the per
iod after the war, when the owners
expected to be confronted witli les
sened interest in busebali, led to many
one-year contracts being made. Long
time contracts for a number of stars
terminated with the past season.
Reasons for Higher Pay
That the interest next year in base
ball is not expected to be lethargic,
some of the players who wintered in
Chicago say, is evidenced by the own
ers' plans for extended training sea
sons and the adoption of the usual
154 game, schedule instead of 140
games as last year. Some of the
players are said to hold that with
the owners obtaining greater patron
age larger salaries can be paid.
Few players of the Chicago cubs
have been signed as yet. Alexander,
Killefer and Robertson are the Na
tional League Club stars who have
made 1920 contracts. Only a few
youngsters have made contracts with
the Chicago Americans. Eddie Col
lins' five-year contract expired last
fall. Eddie Cicotte's contract also
ended, as did the one-year agreement
with Bay Schalk.

cried the Wizard, kneeling and kis
sing her hand.
Just then the voice of the Prince
was heard callinp upon them to has
ten, and a moment later he return
ed to the enclosure, followed by a
number of his people .
Instantly the Princess turned and
faced him, and when he saw that she
was picked the Prince stood still
and began to tremble,
"Sir," said, the Royal Lady, with
much dignity, "you have wronged
me greatly, and would have wronged
mo still more had not these strang
ers come to my rescue. I have
been ready for picking all the past
week, but because you were selfish
and desired to continue your unlaw
ful rule, you left me to stand silent
upon my bush."
"I did not know that you were
ripe," answered the Prince in a low
voice.
"Give me the Star of Royalty!" she
commanded.
Slowly he took the shining star
from his own brow and placed it
upon that of the Princess. Then
all the people bowed low to her, and
the Prince turned and walked away
alone. What became of him after
ward our friends never knew.
The people of Mangaboo now
formed themselves into a proces
sion and marched toward the glass
city to escort their new ruler to her
palace and to perform those cere
monies proper to the occasion. But
while the people in the procession
walked upon the ground the Prin
cess walked in the air just above
their heads, to show that she was a
superior being and more exalted
than her subjects.
No one now seemed to pay any at
tention to the strangers, so Dor
othy and Zeb and the Wizard let
the train pass on and wandered by
themselves into the vegetable gard
ens. They did not bother to cross
the bridges over the brooks, but
when they carne to a stream they
stepped high and walked in the air

to the other -side. This was a very
interesting experience to them, and
Dorothy said:
"I wonder why it is that we can
walk so easily in the e.tr."
"Perhaps," answered the Wizard.
"It is because we are close to th
center of the earth, where the at
traction of gravitation is very alight.
Hut I've noticed that many qileer
things happen In fairy countries."
"Is this a fairy country?*' ashed
the boy.
"Of course 4t is," returned Dor
othy, promptly. "Only a fairy coun-4
try could have veg-table people and
only in a fairy country could Eureka,
and Jim talk as we do."
"That's true," said Zeb, thought
fully.
In the vegetable gardens they
found the strawberries and melons,
and several other unknown but de
licious fruits, of which they ate
heartily. But the kitten bothered
them constantly by demanding millc
or meat, and called the "Wizard
names because he could not bring
her a dish of milk by means of his
magical arts.
As they sat upon the grass watch
ing Jim, wtio was still busily eating.
Eureka saidt
"I don't believe you are a Wlzardl.
at ail!"
"No," answered the little man.
"you are quite right In the strict
sense of the word I am not a Wiz
ard, but only a humbug."
"The Wizard of Oz has always
been a humbug," agreed Dorothy.
"I've known him for a long time.
"If that is so," said the boy, "how
could he do that wonderful trick
with the nine tiny piglets?"
"Don't know," said Dorothy, "but
it must have been humbug."
"Very true" declared the Wizard,
nodding at her. "It was necessary
to deceive that ugly Sorcerer and the
Prince, as well as their stupid peo
ple, but I don't mind telling you,
who are my friends, that the thing
was only a triek."
I "But I saw the little pigs with my
own eyes!" exclaimed Zeb.
| "So did T." purred the kitten.
"To he sure." answered the Wiz
ard. ''You saw them because they
were there. They are in my inside
pocket now. But the pulling of
Iheni apart and pushing them to
-1 gether again was only a sleight-of-
I hand trick."
"Let's see the pigs," said Eu
reka .eagerly.
The little man felt carefully in his
noeket and pulled out the tiny pig
lets .setting them upon the grass one
by one. where they ran around and
nibbled the tender blades.
"They're hungry, too," he said.
"Oh, what cunning things!" cried
Dorothy, catching up one and pet
ting it."
"Be careful!" said the piglet, with
a squeal, "you're squeezing me!"
"Dear me!" murmured the Wizard,
looking at his pets in astonishment.
"They can actually talk;"
"May I eat one of them?" asked
the kitten, in a pleading voice. "I'm
awfully hrungry."
"Why, Eureka," said Dorothy, re
proachfully. "what a cruel question!
•it would be dreadful to eat these
! dear little things."
| "I should say so!" grunted an
other of the piglets, looking uneas
ily at the kitten; "cats are cruel
things."
"I'm not cruel," replied the kit
ten, yawning. "I'm just hungry."
! "You cannot eat my piglets, even
if you are starving," declared the
little man, In a stern voice. "They
are the only things I have to prove
I'm a wizard."
"How did they happen to be so
little?" asked Dorothy. "I never
saw such small pigs before."
"They are from the Island of
Teenty-Weent," said the Wizard,
"where everything is small because
it's a small island. A sailor brought
them to Los Angeles and I gave
him nine tickets lo the circus for
them."
"But what am I going to
eat?" wailed the kitten, sitting in
front of Dorothy and looking plead
ingly into her face. "There are no
cows here to give milk; or any
mice, or even grasshoppers. And if
I can't eat the piglets you may as
well plant me at once and raise cat
sup."
"I have an idea," said the Wiz
ard, "that there are fishes in these
brooks. Do you like fish?"
"Fish!" cried the kitten. "Do I
like fish? Why, they're better than
piglets—or even milk!"
"Then I'll try to catch you some,"
said he.
"But won't they be veg'table, like
everything else here?" asked the
kitten.
"I think not. Fishes are not ani
mals, and they are as cold and moist
as the vegetables themselves. There
is no reason, that I can see, why
they may not exist in the waters
of this strange country."
