At length a high wall of green stone, studded thick with emeralds, loomed up before them; and fearing the Saw Horse would not know enough to stop and so might smash them both against this wall, Jack ventured to cry "Whoa!" as loud as he could.

was rolling in the dust of the road, while the horse and its pumpkin-headed rider dashed on and quickly disappeared in the distance. By the time Tip had picked himself up and cleared the dust from his throat so he could say “Whoa!” there was no further need of saying it, for the horse was long since out of sight. So he did the only sensible thing he could do. He sat down and took a good rest, and afterward began walking along the road. “Some time I will surely overtake them,” he reflected; “for the road will end at the gates of the Emerald City, and they can go no further than that.” Meantime Jack was holding fast to the post and the Saw-Horse was tearing along the road like a racer. Neither of them knew Tip was left behind, for the Pumpkinhead did not look around and the Saw-Horse couldn’t. As he rode, Jack noticed that the grass and trees had become a bright emerald-green in color, so he guessed they were nearing the Emerald City even before the tall spires and domes came into sight.  THE NEXT MINUTE THE BOY WAS ROLLING IN THE DUST OF THE ROAD WHILE THE HORSE AND ITS PUMPKIN HEADED RIDER DASHED ON AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARED IN THE DISTANCE BY THE TIME TIP HAD PICKED HIMSELF UP AND CLEARED THE DUST FROM HIS THROAT SO HE COULD SAY WOE THERE WAS NO FURTHER NEED OF SAYING IT FOR THE HORSE WAS LONG SINCE OUT OF SIGHT SO HE DID THE ONLY SENSIBLE THING HE COULD DO HE SAT DOWN AND TOOK A GOOD REST AND AFTERWARD BEGAN WALKING ALONG THE ROAD SOME TIME I WILL SURELY OVERTAKE THEM HE REFLECTED FOR THE ROAD WILL END AT THE GATES OF THE EMERALD CITY AND THEY CAN GO NO FURTHER THAN THAT MEANTIME JACK WAS HOLDING FAST TO THE POST AND THE SAW HORSE WAS TEARING ALONG THE ROAD LIKE A RACER NEITHER OF THEM KNEW TIP WAS LEFT BEHIND FOR THE PUMPKINHEAD DID NOT LOOK AROUND AND THE SAW HORSE COULDN'T AS HE RODE JACK NOTICED THAT THE GRASS AND TREES HAD BECOME A BRIGHT EMERALD GREEN IN COLOR SO HE GUESSED THEY WERE NEARING THE EMERALD CITY EVEN BEFORE THE TALL SPIRES AND DOMES CAME INTO SIGHT
