In

battle

we

are

wonderfully

courageous

,

"

said

one

of

the

generals

,

"

and

our

foes

find

us

very

terrible

to

face

.

But

war

is

one

thing

and

this

is

another

.

When

it

comes

to

being

pounded

upon

the

head

by

an

iron

hammer

,

and

smashed

into

pancakes

,

we

naturally

object

.

"

"

Make

a

run

for

it

,

"

urged

the

Scarecrow

.

"

Our

knees

shake

so

that

we

cannot

run

,

"

answered

a

captain

.

"

If

we

should

try

it

we

would

all

certainly

be

pounded

to

a

jelly

.

"

Well

,

well

,

"

sighed

the

Cowardly

Lion

,

"

I

see

,

friend

Tiger

,

that

we

must

place

ourselves

in

great

danger

to

rescue

this

bold

army

.

Come

with

me

,

and

we

will

do

the

best

we

can

.

"

So

,

Ozma

and

Dorothy

having

already

dismounted

from

their

backs

,

the

Lion

and

the

Tiger

leaped

back

again

under

the

awful

hammer

and

returned

with

two

generals

clinging

to

their

necks

.

They

repeated

this

daring

passage

twelve

times

,

when

all

the

officers

had

been

carried

beneath

the

giant

’

s

legs

and

landed

safely

on

the

further

side

.

By

that

time

the

beasts

were

very

tired

,

and

panted

so

hard

that

their

tongues

hung

out

of

their

great

mouths

.

"

But

what

is

to

become

of

the

private

?

"

asked

Ozma

.

"

Oh

,

leave

him

there

to

guard

the

chariot

,

"

said

the

Lion

.

"

I

’

m

tired

out

,

and

won

’

t

pass

under

that

mallet

again

.

"

The

officers

at

once

protested

that

they

must

have

the

private

with

them

,

else

there

would

be

no

one

for

them

to

command

.

But

neither

the

Lion

or

the

Tiger

would

go

after

him

,

and

so

the

Scarecrow

sent

the

Sawhorse

.

Either

the

wooden

horse

was

careless

,

or

it

failed

to

properly

time

the

descent

of

the

hammer

,

for

the

mighty

weapon

caught

it

squarely

upon

its

head

,

and

thumped

it

against

the

ground

so

powerfully

that

the

private

flew

off

its

back

high

into

the

air

,

and

landed

upon

one

of

the

giant

’

s

cast

-

iron

arms

.

Here

he

clung

desperately

while

the

arm

rose

and

fell

with

each

one

of

the

rapid

strokes

.
