I may not succeed, but I shall do the best I can.

From the directions our friends are taking, I believe they are going to pass by Jinjur's Ranch, so if we start now we may meet them there.

Would you like to go with me, Dorothy ?" "Of course," answered the little girl; "I wouldn't miss it for anything." "Then order the Red Wagon," said Ozma of Oz, "and we will start at once." Dorothy ran to do as she was bid, while Ozma went to her Magic Room to make ready the things she believed she would need.

In half an hour the Red Wagon stood before the grand entrance of the palace, and before it was hitched the Wooden Sawhorse, which was Ozma's favorite steed.
This Sawhorse, while made of wood, was very much alive and could travel swiftly and without tiring.

To keep the ends of his wooden legs from wearing down short, Ozma had shod the Sawhorse with plates of pure gold.
