"Stop! Stop!" shouted the horse; "you're jarring me terribly." [Illustration: image065] "Does it hurt?" asked the boy. "Not exactly hurt," answered the animal; "but it makes me quite nervous to be jarred." "Well, it's all over now" said Tip, encouragingly. "Now, Jack, be sure to hold fast to this post and then you can't fall off and get smashed." So Jack held on tight, and Tip said to the horse: "Get up." STOP STOP SHOUTED THE HORSE YOU'RE JARRING ME TERRIBLY DOES IT HURT ASKED THE BOY NOT EXACTLY HURT ANSWERED THE ANIMAL BUT IT MAKES ME QUITE NERVOUS TO BE JARRED WELL IT'S OVER NOW SAID TIP ENCOURAGINGLY NOW JACK BE SURE TO HOLD FAST TO THIS POST AND THEN YOU CAN'T FALL OFF AND GET SMASHED SO JACK HELD ON TIGHT AND TIP SAID TO THE HORSE GET UP
e. “Very good. We are all going on a journey to the Emerald City, to see His Majesty, the Scarecrow; and Jack Pumpkinhead is going to ride on your back, so he won’t wear out his joints.” “I don’t mind,” said the Saw-Horse. “Anything that suits you suits me.” Then Tip assisted Jack to get upon the horse. “Hold on tight,” he cautioned, “or you may fall off and crack your pumpkin head.” “That would be horrible!” said Jack, with a shudder. “What shall I hold on to?” “Why, hold on to his ears,” replied Tip, after a moment’s hesitation. “Don’t do that!” remonstrated the Saw-Horse; “for then I can’t hear.” That seemed reasonable, so Tip tried to think of something else. “I’ll fix it!” said he, at length. He went into the wood and cut a short length of limb from a young, stout tree. One end of this he sharpened to a point, and then he dug a hole in the back of the Saw-Horse, just behind its head. Next he brought a piece of rock from the road and hammered the post firmly into the animal’s back.
