CHAPTER XV Continued. Then he led them into his little room and locked the spectacles from the great box on all their eyos, just as he had done before. Afterward they passed on through the gate into the Kmerald City, and when tho peo ple !'card from the Guardian of the Gate that they had melted the Wicked Witch of the West they all gathered around the travelers and followed them in a great crowd to tho palace of Oz. The soldier with the green whiskers wns still on guard before the door, but he let them in at once and they were again met by tho beautiful green girl, who showed each of them to their Oz, the Great and Terrible. old rooms nt once, so they might rest until tho Great Oz was ready to re celvo them. yThe soldier had the news carried ..straight to Oz that Dorothy and the ,f other travelers had come back again id uiMiei uin inn iw.iwn iiiiiu but Oz made no reply. They thought the Great Wizard would send for them at once, but he did not. They had ' no word, from him tho next day, nor the next, nor the next. Tho waiting wns tiresome and wearing, nnd at last '-they grew-vexed that Oz should Ueat izard I By L. Frank Baum them in so poor a fashion, after send ing them to undergo hardships nnd slavery. 'So the Scarecrow at last asked the green girl to take another message to Oz, Baying It be did not let them in to see him at once they would call the Winged Monkeys to help them, and find out whether he kept his promises or not. When the Wizard was given this message he was so frightened that he sent word for them to come to tho throue room at four minutes after nine o'clock the next morning. He had once met the Winged Monkeys in the Land of the West, and he did not wish to meet them again. The four travelers passed it sleep less night, each thinking of the gift Oz had promised to bestow upon him. Dorothy fell asleep only once, and then she dreamed sho was In Kansas, where Aunt Km was telling her how glad she was to Lave her little girl at homo again. Promptly at nine o'clock the next morning the green whiskered soldier came to them, and four minutes later they all went into the throne room of tho Great Oz. Of course each one of them ex pected to see the Wizard in the shape he had taken before, and all wero greatly surprised when they looked about and saw no one at all in the room. They kept close to the door and closer to one another, for the still ness of the empty room was more dreadful than any of the forms they had see Oz lake. Presently they heard a Voice, seem ing to come from somewhere near the top of the great dome, and it said, solemnly: "I am Oz, Hie Great and Terrible. Why do you seel; me?" They looked again in every part of tho room, and then, seeing no one, Dorothy asked: "Where are you?" "I am everywhere," answered the Voice, "but to the eyes of common mortals I am invisible. I will now seat myself upon ray throue, that you may converse with me." Indeed, the "Doesn't Any One Else Know You're a Humbug?" Voice seemed Just then to come straight from the throne Itself; so they walked toward it and stood in a row while Dorothy said: "We have come to claim our prom ise, O, Oz." 'What promise?" asked Oz. 'You promised to send me back to Kansas when the Wicked Witch was destroyed," said the girl. 'And you promised to give me brains," said tho Scarecrow. 'And you promised to give me a heart," said the Tin Woodman. 'And you promised to give me cour age," said the Cowardly Lion. 'Is tho Wicked Witch really de stroyed?" asked the Voice, and Doro thy thought it trembled a little. 'Yes," she answered, "I melted her with a bucket of water." "Dear me," said the Voice; "how sudden! Well, come to me tomor row, for I must have time to think it over." "You've had plenty of time already," said the Tin Woodman, angrily. "We shan't wait a day longer," said the Scarecrow. "You must keep your promises to us!" exclaimed Dorothy. The Lion thought it might be as well to frighten the Wizard, so he gave a large, loud roar, which was so fierce and dreadful that Toto Jumped nway from him In alarm and tipped over the screen that stood in a corner. As it fell with a crash they looked that way, and the next moment all of them were filled with wonder. For they saw, standing in just the spot the screen had hidden, a little, old man, with a bald head and a wrinkled fiice, who seemed to bo as much sur prised as they were. The Tin Wood man, raising his ax, rushed toward the little man and cried out: "Who are you?" "I am Oz, the Great and Terrible," said the little man. in a trembling voice, "but don't strike me please Took Conceit Among Bonie Htorles told the other day hy V. P. Frith, tho Roynl Arad omlclnn. who at 90 years of nge smokes six clsars a day and sits up until midnight playing cards, Is the following concerning Chnrles Dickens: Filth, mnny years ago, was commis sioned to pulnt a portrnlt of the nov elist. "There was a hitch about the ftst Bitting," says the nonagonarlnn. "Dickens had started growing a mus tache which was considered almost n crime in those days. Tho delay in the sittings continued, nnd one morn ing, when we expected to find Dick ens had relented ami hnd shaved off his niuxtuchc, to our dlBiuay he had started growing mora hair on his chin. "Lnndseer called that mrnlng, nnd he gnve a great start when he saw Dickens' face. Dickens then took the bull by thu bonis. 'I say, old fellow, don't! and I'll do anything von want me to." Our friends looked at him in sur prise and dismay. "I thought Oz was a great Head," said Dorothy. "And 1 thought Oz was a lovelv Lady," said the Scarecrow. "And I thought Oz was a terrible Beast," said the Tin Woodman. "And I thought Oz was a flail of Fire," exclaimed tho Lion. "No; you nio all wrong," said the little man. meekly. "I have been ma king believe." "Making believe!" cried Dorothy. ".Are you not ii great Wizard?" "Hush, my dear," he said; "don't speak so loud or you will be over heardand 1 should be ruined. I'm supposed to bo a great Wizard." "And aren't you?" she asked. "Not a bit of it, my dear; I'm Just a common man." "You're more than that," said the Scarecrow, In a grieved tone; "you're a humbug." "Kxactly so!" declared the little man, rubbing his hands together as If It pleased him; "I am a humbug." "Hut this Is terrible," said the Tin Woodman; "how shall I ever get my heart?" "Or I my courage?" asked the Lion. "Or I my brains?" wailed the Stare crow, wiping the tears from his eyes with his coat-sleeve. "My dear friends," said Oz. "1 pray you not to speak of these little things. Think of me. nnd the ter rible (rouble I'm In at being found cut." "Doesn't any one elsp know you're a humbug?" asked Dorothy. "No one knows It but you four and myself," replied Oz. "1 have fooled every one so long that I thought I should never bo found out. It was a great, mistake my ever letting you Into the throne room. Usually I will not see even my subjects, and so they bo' lieve I am something terrible." "Hut, I don't understand," said Doro thy, In bewilderment. "How was it that you appeared to me as a great Head?" "That, was one of my tricks," an swered Oz. "Step this way. please, and I will tell you nil about It." He led the way to a small chamber in the rear of tho throne room, and they all followed him. He pointed to one corner, in which lay the Great Head, mnde out of many thicknesses of paper, and with a carefully painted face. "This I hung from tho ceiling by a wire," said Oz; "I stood behind the screen and pulled a thread, to make the eyes move and the mouth open." "Hut how about the voice?" she in quired. "Oh, 1 am a ventriloquist," said the little man, "and I can throw the sound of rny voice wherever I wish; so that you thought It was coming out of the Head. Here are tho other things I used to deceive you." He showed the Scarecrow the dress and the mask he had worn when ho seemed to bo tho lovely Lady; nnd tho Tin Woodman saw that his Terrible Henst was noth Ing but a lot. of skins, sewn together, with slats to keep their sides out. As for the Ball of Fire, the false Wizard hnd hung that also from the celling It was really a ball of cotton, but when oil was poured upon It the ball burned fiercely. "Heally, said the Scarecrow, you ought to bo ashamed of yourself for being such a humbug." "I am I certainly am." answered the little man, sorrowfully; "but it was the only thing I could do. Sit down, please, there are plenty of chairs, and 1 will tell you my story." So they sat down nnd listened while he told the following tab?: "I was born In Omaha " "Why, that isn't very far from Kan sas!" cried Dorothy. "No; but it's farther from here," he said, shaking his head at her, sadly. "When I grew up I became a ventrilo quist, and at that I was very well trained by a great master. I can imi tate any kind of a bird or beast." Hero he mewed so like a kitten that Toto pricked up his ears and looked everywhere to see whero sho was. "After a time," continued Oz, "I tired of that, nnd became a balloonist." "What Is that?" asked Dorothy. "A man who goes up in a balloon on circus day, so as to drnw a crowd of people together and get them to pay lo see the circus," he explained. "Oh," she said; "I know." "Well, one day I went up In a bal loon nnd the ropes gut twisted, so that I couldn't come down again. It went way tip above the clouds, so fat that a current of air struck It nnd carried 11 mnny, many miles away. For a day nnd a night I traveled through the air, nnd on the morning of the second day I awoke and found the balloon floating over a strunge and beautiful country." (TO II K CONTINUED.) from Dickens ynu don't seem to notice this,' he said, pointing to his mustache. " 'Oh, yes, I do," was the reply, 'It enables me to seo less of you, nnd that's an advantage.'

Man Who Controls 7.932 Miles of Rail roads, Began Life 40 Years Ago Selling Butter and Eggs. New York. Forty years ago Kdwin Hawley was selling butter and eggs on commission In the little town of Chatham. N. Y.. where lie was born. 59 years ago. To day he Is the actual head of more miles of railroad than any man except, twssib v. James J. Hill. Against tho determined opposi-, tluii of rivals, he has practically ac quired a chain of railroads extending from sea to sea. It was said of the late K. M. Ilari'ltnan bv the gossips of Wall street that no one ever en countered him antagonistically with out lotnltig out somewhat scarred llnanrlally until Kdwin Hawley came along. Oiin bout with the latter con vinced Mr. Ilanlmnn that It was best to keep on his own side of the fence. "I have no recipe for success," wns Mr. Hawley "s reply to a question one day. "i have no ambition except to work, work hard. And I am a pood waiter, a mighty good waiter and things come when you wait long enough." He could not have given a surer and simpler recipe, though he had taken hours to explain in detail how he had worked his way upward. Work, hard work, combined with patience, brings sure reward to the man possessed of ordinary Intelligence and discretion. Kdwin Hawley began his career by engaging in the commission business In p small way selling butter and eggs. No riches appearing In that line, he went, to New York and got into a little tugboat business. Here again the money was slow In coming, so slow Unit. Mr. Hawley got. out of it and became a clerk In the gen ernl olllces of the Krle railway. After awhile he went to the Ohio &. Missis sippi, about which time he in some way became acquainted with the late V. P. Huntington, owner of the South ern Pacific railroad. This was tho act ual beginning of llawley's rise In the railroad world. Mr. Huntington put him in charge of his New York olllce, which then had much to do with a large number of railroad and steam ship lines. This gave Hawley the op porlunity he needed, and his success with these properties was Mtriking, tit trading attention, as It did, to his ex ecutive and organizing ability. Later !when K.ll. Ilarriraan came into cotv Edwin Hawley. jol of these properties, Hawley for S-iinie rciiHon did not get tlie proinolion he thought he deserved, and for which he was ho well qualified, so he re signed and started out anew with no very kindly feeling for Mr. Ilarilinan. Nor did the two men ever draw any closer toward each other in the nfter years. The following is a list of the roads now credited to Mr. Hawley, and these have all hern acquired since ihis quarrel with llarrinian. .Milrs.
