The Soldier with the Green Whiskers looked at Jack with much care and curiosity. Finally he shook his head so positively that little waves rippled down his whiskers, and then he said: "I must take him to His Majesty, the Scarecrow." "But what will His Majesty, the Scarecrow, do with him?" asked the Guardian of the Gates. "That is His Majesty's business," returned the soldier. "I have troubles enough of my own. All outside troubles must be turned over to His Majesty.

ms to me that I have,” replied the Pumpkinhead, seriously; “but I cannot think what it is. My father knows all about it, but he is not here.” “This is a strange affair very strange!” declared the Guardian. “But you seem harmless. Folks do not smile so delightfully when they mean mischief.” “As for that,” said Jack, “I cannot help my smile, for it is carved on my face with a jack-knife.” “Well, come with me into my room,” resumed the Guardian, “and I will see what can be done for you.” So Jack rode the Saw-Horse through the gateway into a little room built into the wall. The Guardian pulled a bell-cord, and presently a very tall soldier—clothed in a green uniform—entered from the opposite door. This soldier carried a long green gun over his shoulder and had lovely green whiskers that fell quite to his knees. The Guardian at once addressed him, saying: “Here is a strange gentleman who doesn’t know why he has come to the Emerald City, or what he wants. Tell me, what shall we do with him?” NVINCING HAVE YOU ANY ERRAND SIR IN THE EMERALD CITY IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE REPLIED THE PUMPKINHEAD SERIOUSLY BUT I CAN'T THINK WHAT IT IS MY FATHER KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT BUT HE IS NOT HERE THIS IS A STRANGE AFFAIR VERY STRANGE DECLARED THE GUARDIAN BUT YOU SEEM HARMLESS FOLKS DO NOT SMILE SO DELIGHTFULLY WHEN THEY MEAN MISCHIEF AS FOR THAT SAID JACK I CANNOT HELP MY SMILE FOR IT IS CARVED ON MY FACE WITH A JACK KNIFE WELL COME INTO MY ROOM RESUMED THE GUARDIAN AND I WILL SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR YOU SO JACK RODE THE SAW HORSE THROUGH THE GATEWAY INTO A LITTLE ROOM BUILT INTO THE WALL THE GUARDIAN PULLED A BELL CORD AND PRESENTLY A VERY TALL SOLDIER CLOTHED IN A GREEN UNIFORM ENTERED FROM THE OPPOSITE DOOR THIS SOLDIER CARRIED A LONG GREEN GUN OVER HIS SHOULDER AND HAD LOVELY GREEN WHISKERS THAT FELL QUITE TO HIS KNEES THE GUARDIAN AT ONCE ADDRESSED HIM SAYING HERE IS A STRANGE GENTLEMAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHY HE HAS COME TO THE EMERALD CITY OR WHAT HE WANTS TELL ME WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH HIM
