The train from 'Frisco was very late. As It came to a stop the conductor called out:
"Hugson's Siding! At once a little girl rose from her seat carrying a suit-case in one
hand and a bird cage in the other, while a parasol was tucked under her arm. The little
girl stood still then after a while the child discovered a horse and buggy standing a
short distance away. The girl saw a boy, on the seat, fast asleep. She poked the boy
with her parasol. He woke up, "Hello!" he said, "Are you Dorothy Gale?" "Yes," she
answered. Have you come to take me to Hugson's Ranch?" "Of course," he
answered. She climbed into the buggy and he followed her and took the reins, the
horse began to trot down the road, "Thought that train would never come," observed
the boy. "We had a lot of earthquakes," said Dorothy. "How is Uncle Henry?" she
enquired. "He and Uncle Hugson have been having a fine visit." "What is your name?"
asked Dorothy, "Zebediah; but folks just call me 'Zeb'. He said. Before he could speak
more the buggy began to sway from side to side and the earth seemed to rise up
before them. Next minute there was a roar and at her side Dorothy saw the ground
open in a wide crack and then come together again. "Goodness" she cried, grasping
the iron rail of the seat. "What was that?" "That was an awful big quake," replied Zeb,
with a white face. Every few moments the earth would shake violently. Suddenly there
was a rending sound, and the earth split into another great crack just beneath the spot
where the horse was standing. With a wild neigh of terror, the animal fell bodily into
the pit, drawing the buggy and its occupants after him. Dorothy grabbed fast hold of
the buggy top and the boy did the same. In breathless silence they waited for the earth
to close in on them again and bury them forever in its dreadful depths. The horrible
sensation of falling and the terrifying noises, proved more than Dorothy could endure
and for a few moments the little girl lost consciousness. Zeb, did not faint, but he was
frightened, and clung to the buggy seat with a tight grip, expecting every moment
would be his last.
