I told you a falsehood, Dorothy, he said; but now,having bathed in the Truth Pond, I must tell nothing but thetruth- Why did you steal it? asked Ozma, gently. Because no one loved me, or cared for me, said theshaggy man, and I wanted to be loved a great deal. It wasowned by a girl in Butterfield who was loved too much, sothat the young men quarreled over her, which made her un-happy. After I had stolen the Magnet from her, only oneyoung man continued to love the girl, and she married himand regained her happiness. Are you sorry you stole it? asked the Princess. No, your Highness; I m glad, he answered; for it haspleased me to be loved, and if Dorothy had not cared for meI could not have accompanied her to this beautiful Land ofOz, or met its kind-hearted Ruler.

That is a good idea, said the shaggy man; I agree
