So

I

am

,

"

replied

the

head

.

"

But

once

on

a

time

I

was

part

of

the

Gump

,

which

Ozma

sprinkled

with

the

Powder

of

Life

.

I

was

then

for

a

time

the

Head

of

the

finest

Flying

Machine

that

was

ever

known

to

exist

,

and

we

did

many

wonderful

things

Afterward

the

Gump

was

taken

apart

and

I

was

put

back

on

this

wall

;

but

I

can

still

talk

when

I

feel

in

the

mood

,

which

is

not

often

.

"

"

It

’

s

very

strange

,

"

said

the

girl

.

"

What

were

you

when

you

were

first

alive

?

"

That

I

have

forgotten

,

"

replied

the

Gump

’

s

Head

,

"

and

I

do

not

think

it

is

of

much

importance

.

But

here

comes

Ozma

;

so

I

’

d

better

hush

up

,

for

the

Princess

doesn

’

t

like

me

to

chatter

since

she

changed

her

name

from

Tip

to

Ozma

.

"

Just

then

the

girlish

Ruler

of

Oz

opened

the

door

and

greeted

Dorothy

with

a

good

-

morning

kiss

.

The

little

Princess

seemed

fresh

and

rosy

and

in

good

spirits

.

"

Breakfast

is

served

,

dear

,

"

she

said

,

"

and

I

am

hungry

.

So

don

’

t

let

us

keep

it

waiting

a

single

minute

.

"

After

breakfast

Ozma

announced

that

she

had

ordered

a

holiday

to

be

observed

throughout

the

Emerald

City

,

in

honor

of

her

visitors

.

The

people

had

learned

that

their

old

Wizard

had

returned

to

them

and

all

were

anxious

to

see

him

again

,

for

he

had

always

been

a

rare

favorite

.

So

first

there

was

to

be

a

grand

procession

through

the

streets

,

after

which

the

little

old

man

was

requested

to

perform

some

of

his

wizardries

in

the

great

Throne

Room

of

the

palace

.

In

the

afternoon

there

were

to

be

games

and

races

.

The

procession

was

very

imposing

.

First

came

the

Imperial

Cornet

Band

of

Oz

,

dressed

in

emerald

velvet

uniforms

with

slashes

of

pea

-

green

satin

and

buttons

of

immense

cut

emeralds

.

They

played

the

National

air

called

"

The

Oz

Spangled

Banner

,

"

and

behind

them

were

the

standard

bearers

with

the

Royal

flag

.

This

flag

was

divided

into

four

quarters

,

one

being

colored

sky

-

blue

,

another

pink

,

a

third

lavender

and

a

fourth

white

.

In

the

center

was

a

large

emerald

-

green

star

,

and

all

over

the

four

quarters

were

sewn

spangles

that

glittered

beautifully

in

the

sunshine

.

The

colors

represented

the

four

countries

of

Oz

,

and

the

green

star

the

Emerald

City

.

Just

behind

the

royal

standard

-

bearers

came

the

Princess

Ozma

in

her

royal

chariot

,

which

was

of

gold

encrusted

with

emeralds

and

diamonds

set

in

exquisite

designs

.

The

chariot

was

drawn

on

this

occasion

by

the

Cowardly

Lion

and

the

Hungry

Tiger

,

who

were

decorated

with

immense

pink

and

blue

bows

.

In

the

chariot

rode

Ozma

and

Dorothy

,

the

former

in

splendid

raiment

and

wearing

her

royal

coronet

,

while

the

little

Kansas

girl

wore

around

her

waist

the

Magic

Belt

she

had

once

captured

from

the

Nome

King

.
