He
had
no
doubt
Eureka
had
eaten
his
piglet
,
but
he
realized
that
a
kitten
cannot
be
depended
upon
at
all
times
to
act
properly
,
since
its
nature
is
to
destroy
small
animals
and
even
birds
for
food
,
and
the
tame
cat
that
we
keep
in
our
houses
today
is
descended
from
the
wild
cat
of
the
jungle
—
a
very
ferocious
creature
,
indeed
.
The
Wizard
knew
that
if
Dorothy
’
s
pet
was
found
guilty
and
condemned
to
death
the
little
girl
would
be
made
very
unhappy
;
so
,
although
he
grieved
over
the
piglet
’
s
sad
fate
as
much
as
any
of
them
,
he
resolved
to
save
Eureka
’
s
life
.
Sending
for
the
Tin
Woodman
the
Wizard
took
him
into
a
corner
and
whispered
:
"
My
friend
,
it
is
your
duty
to
defend
the
white
kitten
and
try
to
save
her
,
but
I
fear
you
will
fail
because
Eureka
has
long
wished
to
eat
a
piglet
,
to
my
certain
knowledge
,
and
my
opinion
is
that
she
has
been
unable
to
resist
the
temptation
.
Yet
her
disgrace
and
death
would
not
bring
back
the
piglet
,
but
only
serve
to
make
Dorothy
unhappy
.
So
I
intend
to
prove
the
kitten
’
s
innocence
by
a
trick
.
"
He
drew
from
his
inside
pocket
one
of
the
eight
tiny
piglets
that
were
remaining
and
continued
:
"
This
creature
you
must
hide
in
some
safe
place
,
and
if
the
jury
decides
that
Eureka
is
guilty
you
may
then
produce
this
piglet
and
claim
it
is
the
one
that
was
lost
.
All
the
piglets
are
exactly
alike
,
so
no
one
can
dispute
your
word
.
This
deception
will
save
Eureka
’
s
life
,
and
then
we
may
all
be
happy
again
.
"
"
I
do
not
like
to
deceive
my
friends
,
"
replied
the
Tin
Woodman
;
"
still
,
my
kind
heart
urges
me
to
save
Eureka
’
s
life
,
and
I
can
usually
trust
my
heart
to
do
the
right
thing
So
I
will
do
as
you
say
,
friend
Wizard
.
"
After
some
thought
he
placed
the
little
pig
inside
his
funnel
-
shaped
hat
,
and
then
put
the
hat
upon
his
head
and
went
back
to
his
room
to
think
over
his
speech
to
the
jury
.
At
three
o
’
clock
the
Throne
Room
was
crowded
with
citizens
,
men
,
women
and
children
being
eager
to
witness
the
great
trial
.
Princess
Ozma
,
dressed
in
her
most
splendid
robes
of
state
,
sat
in
the
magnificent
emerald
throne
,
with
her
jewelled
sceptre
in
her
hand
and
her
sparkling
coronet
upon
her
fair
brow
.
Behind
her
throne
stood
the
twenty
-
eight
officers
of
her
army
and
many
officials
of
the
royal
household
.
At
her
right
sat
the
queerly
assorted
Jury
—
animals
,
animated
dummies
and
people
—
all
gravely
prepared
to
listen
to
what
was
said
.
The
kitten
had
been
placed
in
a
large
cage
just
before
the
throne
,
where
she
sat
upon
her
haunches
and
gazed
through
the
bars
at
the
crowds
around
her
,
with
seeming
unconcern
.
