Tip soon cut the stitches that had fastened the crown to the Scarecrow's head, and the former monarch of the Emerald City removed it with a sigh of relief and hung it on a peg beside the throne. [Illustration: image209] "That is my last memento of royalty" said he; "and I'm glad to get rid of it. The former King of this City, who was named Pastoria, lost the crown to the Wonderful Wizard, who passed it on to me. Now the girl Jinjur claims it, and I sincerely hope it will not give her a headache." TIP SOON CUT THE STITCHES THAT HAD FASTENED THE CROWN TO THE SCARECROW'S HEAD AND THE FORMER MONARCH OF THE EMERALD CITY REMOVED IT WITH A SIGH OF RELIEF AND HUNG IT ON A PEG BESIDE THE THRONE THAT IS MY LAST MOMENT OF ROYALTY SAID HE AND AM GLAD TO GET RID OF IT THE FORMER KING OF THE CITY WHO WAS NAMED PASTORIA LOST THE CROWN OF THE WONDERFUL WIZARD WHO PASSED IT ON TO ME NOW THE GIRL GINGER CLAIMS IT AND I SINCERELY HOPE IT WILL NOT GIVE HER A HEADACHE
l gathered eagerly around the throne, wherein was seated the Scarecrow, and as Tip sat down upon a stool there fell from his pocket a pepper-box, which rolled upon the floor. “What is this?” asked Nick Chopper, picking up the box. “Be careful!” cried the boy. “That’s my Powder of Life. Don’t spill it, for it is nearly gone.” “And what is the Powder of Life?” enquired the Scarecrow, as Tip replaced the box carefully in his pocket. “It’s some magical stuff old Mombi got from a crooked sorcerer,” explained the boy. “She brought Jack to life with it, and afterward I used it to bring the Saw-Horse to life. I guess it will make anything live that is sprinkled with it; but there’s only about one dose left.” “Then it is very precious,” said the Tin Woodman. “Indeed it is,” agreed the Scarecrow. “It may prove our best means of escape from our difficulties. I believe I will think for a few minutes; so I will thank you, friend Tip, to get out your knife and rip this heavy crown from my forehead.” TO DISCOVER A MEANS TO ESCAPE AT THIS SUGGESTION THEY ALL GATHERED EAGERLY AROUND THE THRONE WHEREIN WAS SEATED THE SCARECROW AND AS TIP SAT DOWN UPON A STOOL THERE FELL FROM HIS POCKET A PEPPER BOX WHICH ROLLED UPON THE FLOOR WHAT IS THIS ASKED NICK CHOPPER PICKING UP THE BOX BE CAREFUL CRIED THE BOY IT'S MY POWDER OF LIFE DON'T SPILL IT FOR IT IS NEARLY GONE AND WHAT IS THE POWDER OF LIFE INQUIRED THE SCARECROW AS TIP REPLACED THE BOX CAREFULLY IN HIS POCKET IT'S SOME MAGICAL STUFF OLD MOMBY GOT FROM A CROOKED SORCERER EXPLAINED THE BOY SHE BROUGHT JACK TO LIFE WITH IT AND AFTERWARD I USED IT TO BRING THE SAW HORSE TO LIFE I GUESS IT WILL MAKE ANYTHING LIVE THAT IS SPRINKLED WITH IT BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE DOSE LEFT THEN IT IS VERY PRECIOUS SAID THE TIN WOODMAN INDEED IT IS AGREED THE SCARECROW IT MAY PROVE OUR BEST MEANS OF ESCAPE FROM OUR DIFFICULTIES I BELIEVE I WILL THINK FOR A FEW MINUTES SO I WILL THANK YOU FRIEND TIP TO GET OUT YOUR KNIFE AND RIP THIS HEAVY CROWN FROM MY FOREHEAD
