than the central situation. And right now he
felt himself tugged to pursue that girl and
that priest rather than to remain and watch
developments. A thousand people could tei!

the riot; but if that girl walked beyond and
was lost to him. he sensed, an -V angle ”
would die that could not be recovered.
So he told himself. But deep within he
knew that more than his blind •• hunch ” for
news was urging him to look into that face
again before it should pass out of his life.
HaHam had never been truly, hope to-dle in
love. But he had “covered" romances in
all strata and the benign and tragic reactions
of thoss romances, and he knew love when
h» saw it. He knew love when he felt it. He
had never experienced just such a jocund,
despondent, exalting, depressing state be
fore. Love had come where and when he
had least looked for it; but it had'come.
Ti'Hh a hound he started for the road.
An angry murmur which had passed
through the massed revolutionists swelled
aow to a shout:

how many times the relative values are mul

she was hurrying from the seat of turmoil,
why the thoroughbred twinkled through the
mask of mediocrity. Hallam broke into a
run. No one paid any heed to him, for all
ware concentrated now in the opposite direc
tion.
Sabina and her companion made a turn
Which took them out of the line of sight
from the palace. The girl stopped and drew
her first full breath. Looking back, she had

had stalled a moment after that look. He
was swinging doyrn the highway in long
lopes, just short of a run. When he came to
the bend he saw the pair about a quarter of
• mile ahead. Behind him he perceived that
no others had yet started on the chase in
the same direction. He broke into a sprint,
Sabina’s young ears heard rapid footsteps
She halted, stiff with fear. Father Pokoff
sent up a whispered prayer. They stood
fast, awaiting the revelation through ths
cloud of dust of their pursuer. With a
shock of vast relief the princess recognized
her gallant cavalier of the courtyard. He
dashed up, cap in hand, wet with the long
PUil.
“Off the road —quick!" he cried.
The fugitives looked at him, puzzled

Tip reflected.
“It’s a hard thing, to be a marble
Statue.” he tliousht, rebelliously,
"and I’m not going to stand it. For
years I’ve been a bother to her, she
says; so she’s going to get rid of me.
Weil, there’s an easier way than to
become a statue. No boy could .have
any fun forever standing in the mid
dle of a flower garden! I’ll run away,
that’s what I’ll do—and I may as well
go before she makes me dr’nk that
nasty stuff In the kettle.”
He waited until the snores of the
old witch announced she wa*j fast
asleep, and then he arose softly and
went to the cupboard to find some
thing to eat.
“No use starting on a journey with
out food.” he decided, searching upon
the narrow shelves.
He found some crusts of bread:
but he had to look into Mombi’a
basket to find the cheese she had
brought from the village. While turn
ing over the contents of the banket
he came upon the pepper-box which
contained the “Powder of Life.”
**l may as well take this with me.”
he thought, “or Motnbl'll be using
it to make more mischief with.” So
he put the box in his pocket, together
with the bread and cheese
Then he cautiously left the house
and latched the door behind him.
Ou'side both moon and star shone
brightly, and the night neemed peace
ful and invitlnr after the close and
ill-smelling kitchen.
- “I’ll be g!ad to get away.” said
Tip. softly: "for I never did like that
old woman. I wonder how I ever
came to live with her.”
He was walking slowly toward the
road when a thought made him
pause.
“I don’t like to leave Jack Pump
klnhead to the tender mercies of old
Mombi,” be muttered “And Jack be
longs to me, for I made him-even
if the old witch did bring biin to
life.”
Re retraced his steps to the row
stable and opened the door of the
stall where the pumpkinhead man
had been left.
Jack was standing in the middle of
the stall, and by the moonlight Tip
could see he was smiling just as Jov
ially aa ever
“Come on!” said the boy. beck
oning
'Where to*”’ asked Jack
“You’ll know hh soon as I do.” an
*wcred Tip. smiling sympathetically
into the pumpkin face. “All we've
got to do now Is tq tramp ”
“Very well,” returned Jaek. and
walked awkwardly out of the stable
and into the moonlight.
Tip turned toward ♦he road nnd the
man followed Mm. Jack we iked with
t sort of limp, and occasionally on**
of the joints of his legs would turn
backward, instead of frontwise, al
most causing him to tumble. Rut
»he Pumnklnhesd was quick to notice
this, and began to take more pain*
to step carefully; so that he met with
few accidents
Tip led him along the nath with
out stopping an Instant. They could
not go very fast, but they walked
steadily: and by the time the moon
sank iwi'* and the sun peeped over
♦he Mile they had travelled so great
a distance that the boy had ro rea

witch. Moreover, he had turned first
into one nath, and then into *O

but they're bound to try the main road.”
The princess faded ashen.
“T—you know?" she gasped
"Of course X know. Please don’t ask any
questions now. Across those fields, into the
woods over there. It can't be far to the bor
der —the whole country wouldn’t make a
healthy ward in Brooklyn. Come on—fol
low me.”
Hallam stepped between them and took
them each by an arm. steered them over the
ditch, lifted a wire fence for them to crawl
under, and set a strenuous pace across a
cabbage fajm into a little forest beyond
' Where's the nearest outpost from here?”
he asked.
The priest indicated the direction parallel
ing tho road which they had abandoned.
Hallam started them that way.
” That pack of wolves was—well, sort of
deploring your absence when I left." he said
to the girl. "It isn’t safe for them to see
you again Inside the confines of Grodnia if I
know anything about mobs.”
’’ Her majesty—my father ——" she asked,
in wavering voice. “ They ”

any money?”
Father Pokoff nodded that he had
"Enough to provide for us for several
months" he said.
" Fine. You'd better make for Switzer
land. then, and get to Holland or France, and
heat it for the United States. I wouldn’t stay
in Europe if I were you. Over there in
trigues don’t flourish much, and you can get
protection."
“We were talking of going to America,”
confided the princess. ” But I am at a lose
to Understand how you became aware of my
identity. Who has betrayed me?”
" A lot of city editors, little lady. A lot of
city editors, who make a lot of reporters

They betrayed you. They trained me to put
two and two together—and find one. I had
a flash of your face: I heard that a princess
wss missing. I didn't need any Bertillbn
measurements or your finger prints."
" But my clothing!”
"Well, look at mine. You don't think, I
hope, that I romp up and down dear old
Broadway dressed like this? War is war.
I've seen duchesses in overalls and jackasses
in generals’ regalia, and millionaires in
cootie lined fatigue suits since the big show
•broke loose. Anybody knows a princess when
she has a crown on her head, a throne under
her, and a.knight of the garter kissing her
Instep. But I come from a country where
most all women are princesses, and no two
dress alike—if you know about it. . . .
Are we nearly to the state line—l mean the
frontier?"
"Three miles further,” answered ths
priest. They hurried on.
The Flight of the Fugitives
“Where are we going,'* said Jack Pumpkinhead,

where to seek them.
Fairly satisfied that ho had escap

"L't'« ha\*« some breakfast,” he
said.
Jack Fumpkinhoad watched Tip
curiously, but refused to join In the
repast.
“I don't seem to be made the same
way vou are.” he said.
”1 know vou are not,” returned Tip;
“for I made you.”
"Oh! Did you?” asked Jack.
“Certainly And put you together.
And carved your eyes and nos*- and

“And dressed you."

She rfodded.
" I would if I were you, until this excite

way, to be home in about a month. T live t*

leave, or in person after I arrive, may I
place such poor assistance as 1 am enabled
to offer at your command?”

edged. “ You have already placed me under
heavy obligntiomv which I find myself, in
my present deplorable condition, unable to
In any way repay."
"O, that’s all right. A pleasure, I swear.
But if you truly feel that you want to be
kind to me, can’t T ask you to communicate
with me when I get back-let. me see you
again, perhaps? You'll be under cover, you
know, and mighty lonesome, maybe. And
you'll want first hand news from Grodnia,
too. I’ll be coming fresh from here. I'd like
to give you my card if you'll let me."
She was silent. A princess is educated
not to accept lightly the advances of stran
gers. In truth, Hallam was the first, stran
ger who had ever addressed her without a
flowery Introduction in proper form.
“ You never can te'.l when a friend may be
of help, off in a far country," he urged.
" And I’ll be the only one in that whole
country outside of his reverence here who
will know the truth about you. Mightn't
it be a comfort now and then to chat with
some one who will understand your feelings
and sympathize?" ,
” Certainly,” said princess, with an
adorable bit of a smile. She had never been
so freely spoken to before. An hour earlier
she would not have tolerated 'it under any
cover of friendship or chivalry. But in that
hour so much had transpired. "If Father
Pokoff will permit it, I may send word to you
when we are both in New York.”
“ Gee, that’s bully of you. I—l mean to
say' I am extremely appreciative of your
promise. T have a dandy little mother at
home that I bet you’d love, too. She’s never
seen a. princess. I—but I’m afraid I’m
taking too much for granted. Please don't
have any fear that I’m going to attempt to
take any social advantage of our chance
meeting here. But I do want to know how
you're coming along in New York. You may
have more difficulties than you have had
time or heart to foresee in your effort to live
among the people as one of them. You will
have problems to meet which you cannot
now, perhaps, anticipate. I want In my
small way to assißt you with them.”
The answer was choked off by noises
which suddenly became audible from the
road. The three stopped and peered through
the underbrush which sklrteo the edge ti
the wood*. Excited men were runnlrg in
groups. It was apparent that they ware In
"Where are we golnst?" asked Jock,
when they had reautned their Journey
'l'm not exactly Bure,” said the
boy; "hut I believe we are headed
south, and that will bring us sooner
or later, to the Kmeruld I'lty.”
"What e.ity Is that?" enquired the
Pu rn pklc head
"Why, It’s the center of Hie Land
of Ox, and the biggest town In all
the country. I’ve never been there,
myself, but I’ve heard all about its
history. It was built by a rnlghty
and wonderful Wlr.ard named sis, and
everything (here Is of n green color -
Just as everything In this country of
the GllUklns Is of a purple color."
"Is everything here purple?" ask
ed Jack
"Of course It Is. Can’t you see?”
returned the, boy.
"f believe I must he colorblind,”
said ’he I'umpklnheud after staring
about him

pursuit of Princess Sabine, na errand of
smaller importance could ha vs dragged them
from the palace grounds.
“We must go on.” counseled Hallam.
” Our only chance now is to get you across
the line before they come up with you. They
can’t see Into these woods, and they may not
think to hunt you here right now Come on,
best foot forward, please."
The princess was quivering. The word
“hunt” had been apt, cruelly so. Danger,
even intrusion, had never forced before this
day through the barriers of security and pri
vacy within which she had lived. Now if she
raised her voice the gutter mob would tear
her to pieces. With faltering steps she re
sumed her journey toward her only chance
for bars existence, that chance which she
knew lay in reaching the adjacent country.
Father Pokoff was too feeble to act as a
physical crutch. But Hallam braced her with
a firm hold under her arm and half carried
her along, maintaining a brisk speed.
Half a mile farther along the road
branched off, and sftar ( that the pursuers
only increased their distance from their
quarry «s they galloped on. Presently the
forest grew more sparse, then thinned down
to a few scattered trunks and showed ths
wide open of fields in pasture clover. Off
across the green could be discerned two little
turrete, the suardhouses of Grodnia at the
territorial limits of what had been the king
dom until that day. Once past the terminal
Sabina rvould be reasonably safe, enjoying
the protection of an organised government
like any other stray waif. It cut her into
the heart to think of it, now that she was
within sight of asylum among aliens.
" I’ll feel better when I see you over that
deadline," said Hallam. " That is—l’ll feel
safer for you."
The tears spurted from the girl’s eyes.
’’ Why?” she groaned. " Why? What,
have I done? Why should my people thirst
for my blood? They have orphaned me, dls
possessed me, reduced me to vagrancy, all
in a day. And now they want to murder ms.
snd were it not for you, a disinterested strap
ger, my dead body would now be lying yon
der in a ditch."
” 1 ain not disinterested," was all that Hal
lam could find to say.
" If fate lets me escape." she continued,
paying no heed to his during observation,
” what will become of me? Granting that
T can hide for a year, where shall I go then?
What shall I do? I cannot work for n)y
bread and butter like a housemaid. Of what
use is it that I run llko a huqted rabbit?
What can I do with the useless life that I am
so ignominiously saving?”
•' Don't you get tearful now, and miser

“Dear me!” said Jack. “I’m get
ting confused with all this history.
Who is the Scarecrow?”
“Another friend of Dorothy's," re
plied Tip.
“And who is Dorothy?"
"She was a girl that came here
from Kansas, a place In the big out
side world. She got hlown to the
Land of Os by a cyclone, and while
she was here the Scarecrow and the
Tin Woodman accompanied her on
her travels.”
“And where is she now?” Inquired
the Pumpkinhead.
“Olinda the Good, who rules the
Quadlings, Lent her home again,’'
said the boy.
“Oh. And what became of the
Scarecrow?”
“I told you. lie rules the Emerald
City,” answered Tip
"I thought you saM it was ruled
by a wonderful Wizard,” objected
Jack, seeming more and mor con
futed.
‘Well, ho I did Now, pay atten
tion. arid I*ll explain it,’ 1 said Tip.
speaking slowly and looking the smil
ing Pumpkinhead squarely In the eye.
“Dorothy went to the Emerald City
to ask the Wizard to send her back
to Kansas; and the Scarecrow arid
the Tin Woodman went with her.
Hut the Wizard couldn't send her
back, because he waan’t so much of
a Wlsard as he might have been.
And then they got angry at the
Wizard and threatened to expose him;
so the Wizard made a big balloon and
escaped In It, and no one has ever
seen him since.”
“Now. that is very interesting his
tory,” said Jack, well pleas'd; "and
I understand It perfectly—all but thu
explanation.'*
“I'rn glad you do,” responded Tip.
“After the Wizard was gone, tho
People of th* Emerald City made His
Majesty, the Scarecrow, their King,
and I have heard that he became a
very popular ruler.”

King?” asked Jack, with Interest
“l il.’r.k we may as well,” replied
the boy. “unless you have something
better to do”
”Oh. ro, dear, father.” said tho

his faith in the healing properties of his

" Everything fixed,” he reported. “ A diplo

has boon satisfactorily negotiated by your

He gave her his hand, then helped up the
priest, and the strange trio crossed the few
yards of Grodnia which still lay between
the maiden born to rule it all and that
other land which was the beginning of the
outer universe, where she was to be the
child of poverty and nonenity whom by her
disguise she was now impersonating. At
lhe *dge of her country she stopped end
turned. Beyond those trees lay the wreck
of the palace in which she had been born,
a birth which had sounded a week of gay
thanksgiving for the people who were at
that moment rabidly bent on lynching her.
Silo knew it was to be her last sight of
Grodnia. And through her tears she took It.
Then she slowly turned, turned her beelr
upon the throne of her sorrows, set her pale
young face toward Ihe hard features of the
millions to whom she must be, at bast, oue

It was a sorry exit, a crushing curtain to
her scene of glory.
She glanced across and saw thst the s*e
tries had turned thatr backs. Her passage
would not be blocked. The mean little bank
note had ransomed her into freedom. Into
what? Freedom? Was this the same bless
ing for which the Grodniatis wars slaying
and rioting and destroying! Freedom! She
hail never known it before. She h*d never
