he answered. "They are rusted so
badly that I cannot move thorn at all;
If I am well oiled I Bhall soon bo all
right again. You will find an oilcan
on a shelf in my cottage."
Dorothy at once ran back to tho cot
tage and found the oil-can, and then
I she returned and asked, anxiously:
"Where aro your joints?"
"Oil ray nock, first," replied the Tin
Woodman. So she oiled it, and as It
was quite badly rusted tho Scarecrow
took hold of tho tin hoad and moved
It gently from side to side until It
worked freely, and then tho man could
turn It himself.
"Now oil the Joints In my arms," he
said. And Dorothy oiled them and
tho Scarecrow bent them carefully
until they wero quite free from rust
and as good as new.
Tho Tin Woodman gavo a sigh of
satisfaction and lowered his ax, which
ho leaned against the tree.
"This is a great comfort," ho said.
"I havo been holding that ax in tho
air ever since I rusted, and I'm glad
to be able to put it down at last. Now,
if yon will oil tho Joints of my legs, 1
shall be all right once more."
So they oiled his legs tint,il ho could
move them freely; and he thanked
tlirni again and again for his relenso,
for ho seemed a very polite creature,
and very grateful.
"I might have stood thero always If
you had not come along," ho said; "so
you have certainly saved my life. How
did you happen to be hero?"
"We are on our way to tho Emerald
City, to soe tho great Oz," sho an
swered, "and wo stopped at your cot
tage to pass the night."
"This ct first seemed a great mis
fortune, for I knew a one-legged man
could not do very well as a wood
chopper. So I went to a tin smith and
had him make me a new leg out of
tin. The leg worked very well, once
I was used to it; but my action an
gered the wicked Witch of the East,
for sho had promised the old woman
I should not marry the pretty Munch
kin girl. When I began chopping
again my ax slipped and cut off my
right log. Again I went to the tin
ner, and asaln he made me a leg out
of tin. After this the enchanted ax
cut off my arms, one after the other;
but, nothing daunted, I had them re
placed with tin ones. The wicked
Witch then made the ax slip and cut
off my hoad, and at first I thought
that was the end of mo. Hut the tin
ner happened to come along, and he
made me a new head out of tin.
"I thought I had braten the wicked
Witch then, and I worked harder than
ever; but I little knew how cruel my
enemy could he. Sho thought of a
new way to kill my love for the beau
tiful Munchkin maiden, and made my
ax slip again, so 'that it cut right
through my body, splitting me into
two halves. Once more the tinner
came to my help and made mo a body
of tin, fastening my tin arms and legs
and head to It, by means of Joints, so
that I could move around as well as
ever. Hut, alas! I had now no heart,
so that I lost all my love for tho
Munchkin girl, and did not care
whether I married her or not. I sup
poso she Is still living with the old
woman, waiting for me to come after
her.
"My body shono so brightly in tho
sun that I felt very proud of it and it
did not matter now if my ax slipped,
When Dorothy
awoke the sun was
shining through the
tree and Toto had
long been out chasing birds and
squirrels. She sat up and looked
around her. There was tho Scare
crow, still standing patiently In his
corner, waiting for her.
"We must go and search for water,"
he said to him.
"Why do you want water?" he asked,
"To wash my face clenn after tho
dust of the road, and to drink, so the
dry bread will not stick in my throat."
It must be Inconvenient to be made
of flesh," said tho Scarecrow, thought
fully; "for you must Bleep, and eat
and drink. However, you have brains,
and It Is worth a lot of bother to bo
able to think properly."
They left tho cottage and walked
through the trees until they found a
little spring of clear water, where
Dorothy drank and bnthed and ate
her breakfast. She saw there was not
much bread left In the basket, and the
girl was thankful the Scarecrow did
not have to eat anything, for there
was scarcely enough for -herself and
Toto for tho dny.
When she had flnlshe4 her meal,
and was about to go back to tho rond
of yellow brick, sho was startled to
hear a deep groan near by.
"What was that?" sho asked, tim
idly.
'I cannot Imagine," replied the
Scarfcrow; "but we enn go and see."
Jti3t then another groan reached
their ears, and tho sound soemed to
come from behind thorn. They turned
and walked through the forest a few
steps, when Dorothy discovered some
thing shining in a ray of Bunshinc that
fell between the trees. She ran to the
place, and then stopped short, with a
cry of surprise.
One of tho big trees had been partly
chopped through, and standing beside
It, with an uplifts! ax in his hands,
was a man made entirely of tin. His
asked
"I want him to send me back to
Kansas; and the Scarecrow wants him
to put a few brains Into his head,"
she replied.
The Tin Woodman appeared to think
deeply for a moment. Then ho said:
"Do you suppose Ox could give me
a heart?"
"Why, I guess so," Dorothy an
swered; "it would be as easy as to
give the Scarecrow brains."
"True," the Tin Woodman re
turned. "So, if you will allow mo to
Join your party, I will also go to tho
Emerald City and ask Oz to help me."
"Come along," said the Scarecrow,
heartily; and Dorothy added that she
would be pleased to have his com
pany. So the Tin Woodman shout-
"Why do you wish to seo Oi?" he for k couIJ not cut mo- There was
oaiy one aanger mat my joints would
rust; but I kept an oil-can In my cot
tage and took cam to oil myself when
ever I needed It. However, there
came a day when I forgot to do this,
and, being caught In a rainstorm, be
fore I thought of tho danger my Joints
had rusted, and I was left to stand in
tho woods until you came to help me.
It was a terrlblo thing to undergo, but
during the year I stood there I had
time to think thnt the greatest loss 1
had known was the loss of my heart.
While I was in love I was tho lap
piest man on earth; but no one can
love who has not a heart, and so I am
resolved to ask Oz to give me one. If
he does, I will go back to the Munch
kin maiden and marry her."
Hoth Dorothy and the Scarecrow
had been greatly interested in the
story of the Tin Woodman, and now
they knew why he was so anxious to
get a new heart.
"All the same," said the Scarecrow.
"I shall ask for brains instead of a
heart; for a fool would not know what
to do with a heart if he had one."
"I shall take the heart," returned
the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not
make ono happy, and happiness is the
best thing In tho world."
Dorothy did not say anything, for
she was puzzled to know which of her
two friends was right, and she de
cided ff she could only get back to
Kansas and Aunt Em it did not matter
so much whether the Woodman had
no brains and tho Scarecrow no heart,
or each got what he wanted.
What worried her most was that tho
bread was nearly gone, and another
meal for herself and Toto would
empty the basket. To be sure neither
the Woodman nor the Scarecrow ever
nte anything, but she was not made of
tin nor straw, and could not live un
less she was fed.
"You Have Certainly Saved My Life."
dered his ax and they passed through
the foroBt until thoy camo to tho road
that was paved with yellow brick.
Dorothy was thinking so earnestly
as they walked along that sho did not
notice when tho Scarecrow stumbled
into a hole and rolled over to the side
of tho road. Indeed, ho was obliged
to call to her to help him up again.
"Why didn't you walk around the
hole?" asked tho Tin Woodman.
"I don't know enough," replied the
Scarecrow, cheerfully. "My hoad Is
stuffed with straw, you know, and
that Is why I am going to Oz to ask
him for some brains."
"Oh, I see." said tho Tin Woodman.
"Hut, after all, brains are not the best
things In the world."
"Have you any?" inquired tho Scare
crow. "No, my head Is qulto empty," an
swered tho Woodman; "but once I had
brains, and a heart, also; so, having
tried them both, I should much rather
have a heart."
"And why is that?" asked tho Scare
crow.
"I will tell you my story, and then
you will know."
So, while they wero walking through
the forest the Tin Woodman told tho
following story:
"I was born tho son of a woodman
who chopped down trees In tho forest
and sold the wood for a living. When
I grew up I, too, bocamo a woodhop
per, and after my father died I took
care of my old mother as long as sho
lived. Then I made up ray mind that
Instead of living alone I would marry,
so that I might not becomo lonely,
"Thero was one of the Munchkin
girls who was so beautiful that I soon
grew to love her with all my heart
CHAPYI A(D
WESTERN CANADA
During the early days in the pe
rlod of the growth of the grain crop in
estern Canada, as well as throughout
the ripening and garnering period,
there is yetr'y growing an increasing
Interest throughout the United States,
as to the results when harvest is com
pleted. These mean much to the thou
sands of Americans who have made
their homes In some of tho three Prov
inces that form that vast agricultural
domain, and are of considerable Interest
to the friends they have left behind.
The year 1909 Is no disappointment
The crops of wheat, oats and barley
have been harvested and it is now
safe to speak of results. Careful es
timates place the yield of spring wheat

parts of the world the production of
wheat is diminishing today; but as it
diminishes Canada's will increase;
therefore, it is safe to predict that in a
few years from now a large part of the
world will be looking to western Can
ada for its wheat supply, and espe
cially will the United States. In many
parts of western Canada it Is possible
to have a hundred-mile square of
wheat, without a break. A writer says:
"We were driven west and north o!
Moose Jaw through 20 miles of dead
ripe wheat, acres of stocks and well
worked summer-fallowB. One of these
fields would yield 40 bushels to the
acre, und another man had oats that
would yield 90 or 100 bushels to the
acre. In this district wheat w ill aver

at 30 bushels per acre, winter wheat at

volumes of figures will be the fact that

One person who has Just returned

It would be unfair to close this ar

Uattlefords in Central Saskatchewan,
on the line of the Canadian Northern
Railway. Writing on August 18th ot
this year, be says:
"It Is necessary to drive about six or
seven miles out ot the town of North

crops ot the district This morning I
was driven about 20 miles to the

estimates will yield 40 bushels pel

In the district of Calgary, south, east

says: (Aug. 21) "The grain in this

He then crosses fcTie Sas
katchewan river to the South
town, or Hattleford proper,
and continues his report:
"Conditions around the old
town are as good if not bet

ot the river. This district has much
the best wheat crop prospect of any
I have inspected this year, consid
ering sample and yield. The weath

have been Ideal and the result is what
might easily be termed a bumper crop.
A sample sheaf brought In from the
farm of Oeorgo Truscott was shown
to me which spoke for Itself. This
farmer is said to havw sixty acres
which will yield 45 bushels per acre.
In stating an average for the dis
trict of South Battleford I would say
that the wheat will yield 36 bushels
per acre. The oats will yield about
43 and barley 35 bushels per acre."
A correspondent summtng up a trip

this is pioneering I don't for the life
of mo see what our forefathers had
to complain of." He didn't know,
though, for the pioneering of his fore
fathers was discomfort and hardship.
The opening up and development of
western Canada, with Its railroad lines
to carry one to almost the uttermost
part of it, the telegraph line to flash
the news to the outside world, tho tel
ephone to talk to one's neighbor, the
dally and weekly mall service which
brings and carries letters to the
friends in distant parts; the schools
headed by college-bred and highly cer
tificated teachers; tho churches
manned by brilliant divines; tho clubs;
the Boclal and festive life; what Is
there nbout any of this to give to the
man who goes thero to make his homo
the credit of being a pioneer? Noth
ing! He might as well bo in any of
the old middle-west StateB. In other
rlous districts 1 found the farmers and
other citizens witliout exception
filled with expectant enthusiasm over
this year'B prospects. No district was
found which could not boast of fields
of 35 bushels per acre wheat, or 50 to
GO bushels per acre oats, and of 40
bushels per acre of barley.
It is not an unusual thing in many
parts of western Canada for a farmer
to have 10,000 to 30,000 bushels of
wheat. In tho Rouleau district it is
said that there are several farmers
who will have 20,000 bushels of oau
