"Slow him up! Slow him up!" shouted the Scarecrow. "My straw is all shaking down into my legs." But Tip had no breath to speak, so the Saw Horse continued his wild career unchecked and with unabated speed. SLOM UP SLAM UM UP SHOUTED THE SCARECROW MY STRAW IS ALL SHAKING DOWN INTO MY LEGS BUT TIP HAD NO BREATH TO SPEAK SO THE SAW HORSE CONTINUED HIS WILD CAREER UNCHECKED AND WITH UNABATED SPEEDED
he Saw-Horse’s mad rush. Others ran screaming out of the way, and only one or two jabbed their knitting-needles frantically at the escaping prisoners. Tip got one small prick in his left arm, which smarted for an hour afterward; but the needles had no effect upon the Scarecrow or Jack Pumpkinhead, who never even suspected they were being prodded. As for the Saw-Horse, he made a wonderful record upsetting a fruit cart, overturning several meek looking men, and finally bowling over the new Guardian of the Gate—a fussy little fat woman appointed by General Jinjur. Nor did the impetuous charger stop then. Once outside the walls of the Emerald City he dashed along the road to the West with fast and violent leaps that shook the breath out of the boy and filled the Scarecrow with wonder. Jack had ridden at this mad rate once before, so he devoted every effort to holding, with both hands, his pumpkin head upon its stick, enduring meantime the dreadful jolting with the courage of a philosopher.  KNOCKED OVER BY THE SAW HORSE'S MAD RUSH OTHERS RAN SCREAMING OUT OF THE WAY AND ONLY ONE OR TWO JABBED THEIR KNITTING NEEDLES FRANTICALLY AT THE ESCAPING PRISONERS TIP GOT ONE SMALL PRICK ON HIS LEFT ARM WHICH SMARTED FOR AN HOUR AFTERWARD BUT THE NEEDLES HAD NO EFFECT UPON THE SCARECROW OR JACK PUMPKINHEAD WHO NEVER EVEN SUSPECTED THEY WERE BEING PRODDED AS FOR THE SAW HORSE HE MADE A WONDERFUL RECORD UPSETTING A FRUIT CART OVERTURNING SEVERAL MEEK LOOKING MEN AND FINALLY BOWLING OVER THE NEW GUARDIAN OF THE GATE A FUSSY LITTLE FAT WOMAN APPOINTED BY GENERAL JINJUR NOR DID THE IMPETUOUS CHARGER STOP THEN ONCE OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF THE EMERALD CITY HE DASHED ALONG THE ROAD TO THE WEST WITH FAST AND VIOLENT LEAPS THAT SHOOK THE BREATH OUT OF THE BOY AND FILLED THE SCARECROW WITH WONDER JACK HAD RIDDEN AT THIS MAD RATE ONCE BEFORE SO HE DEVOTED EVERY EFFORT TO HOLDING WITH BOTH HANDS HIS PUMPKIN HEAD UPON ITS STICK ENDURING MEANTIME THE DREADFUL JOLTING WITH THE COURAGE OF A PHILOSOPHER
