Ozma

sent

me

word

yesterday

that

the

tunnel

was

all

completed

except

for

a

thin

crust

of

earth

at

the

end

.

When

our

enemies

break

through

this

crust

,

they

will

be

in

the

gardens

of

the

royal

palace

,

in

the

heart

of

the

Emerald

City

.

I

offered

to

arm

all

my

Winkies

and

march

to

Ozma

’

s

assistance

;

but

she

said

no

.

"

"

I

wonder

why

?

"

asked

Dorothy

.

"

She

answered

that

all

the

inhabitants

of

Oz

,

gathered

together

,

were

not

powerful

enough

to

fight

and

overcome

the

evil

forces

of

the

Nome

King

.

Therefore

she

refuses

to

fight

at

all

But

they

will

capture

and

enslave

us

,

and

plunder

and

ruin

all

our

lovely

land

!

"

exclaimed

the

Wizard

,

greatly

disturbed

by

this

statement

.

"

I

fear

they

will

,

"

said

the

Tin

Woodman

,

sorrowfully

.

"

And

I

also

fear

that

those

who

are

not

fairies

,

such

as

the

Wizard

,

and

Dorothy

,

and

her

uncle

and

aunt

,

as

well

as

Toto

and

Billina

,

will

be

speedily

put

to

death

by

the

conquerors

.

"

"

What

can

be

done

?

"

asked

Dorothy

,

shuddering

a

little

at

the

prospect

of

this

awful

fate

.

"

Nothing

can

be

done

!

"

gloomily

replied

the

Emperor

of

the

Winkies

.

"

But

since

Ozma

refuses

my

army

I

will

go

myself

to

the

Emerald

City

.

The

least

I

may

do

is

to

perish

beside

my

beloved

Ruler

.

"

This

amazing

news

had

saddened

every

heart

and

all

were

now

anxious

to

return

to

the

Emerald

City

and

share

Ozma

’

s

fate

.

So

they

started

without

loss

of

time

,

and

as

the

road

led

past

the

Scarecrow

’

s

new

mansion

they

determined

to

make

a

brief

halt

there

and

confer

with

him

.

"

The

Scarecrow

is

probably

the

wisest

man

in

all

Oz

,

"

remarked

the

Tin

Woodman

,

when

they

had

started

upon

their

journey

.

"

His

brains

are

plentiful

and

of

excellent

quality

,

and

often

he

has

told

me

things

I

might

never

have

thought

of

myself

.

I

must

say

I

rely

a

great

deal

upon

the

Scarecrow

’

s

brains

in

this

emergency

.
