  〃What would bee of it?〃 asked the girl。
  〃It would be lost; as were your silver shoes when you visited Oz before; and no one would ever see it again。It seems too bad to destroy the use of the magic belt in that way; doesn't it?〃
  〃Then;〃 said Dorothy; after a moment's thought; 〃I will give the magic belt to Ozma; for she can use it in her own country。And she can wish me transported to Uncle Henry without losing the belt。〃
  〃That is a wise plan;〃 replied Glinda。
  So they rode back to the Emerald City; and on the way it was arranged that every Saturday morning Ozma would look at Dorothy in her magic picture; wherever the little girl might chance to be。And; if she saw Dorothy make a certain signal; then Ozma would know that the little Kansas girl wanted to revisit the Land of Oz; and by means of the Nome King's magic belt would wish that she might instantly return。
  This having been agreed upon; Dorothy bade good…bye to all her friends。
  Tiktok wanted to go to Australia; too; but Dorothy knew that the machine man would never do for a servant in a civilized country; and the chances were that his machinery wouldn't work at all。So she left him in Ozma's care。
  Billina; on the contrary; preferred the Land of Oz to any other country; and refused to acpany Dorothy。
  〃The bugs and ants that I find here are the finest flavored in the world;〃 declared the yellow hen; 〃and there are plenty of them。So here I shall end my days; and I must say; Dorothy; my dear; that you are very foolish to go back into that stupid; humdrum world again。〃
  〃Uncle Henry needs me;〃 said Dorothy; simply; and every one except Billina thought it was right that she should go。
  All Dorothy's friends of the Land of Oz…both old and new…gathered in a group in front of the palace to bid her a sorrowful good…bye and to wish her long life and happiness。After much hand shaking; Dorothy kissed Ozma once more; and then handed her the Nome King's magic belt; saying:
  〃Now; dear Princess; when I wave my handkerchief; please wish me with Uncle Henry。I'm aw'fly sorry to leave you…and the Scarecrow…and the Tin Woodman…and the Cowardly Lion…and Tiktok…and…and everybody…but I do want my Uncle Henry!So good…bye; all of you。〃
  Then the little girl stood on one of the big emeralds which decorated the courtyard; and after looking once again at each of her friends; waved her handkerchief。
  〃No;〃 said Dorothy; 〃I wasn't drowned at all。And I've e to nurse you and take care of you; Uncle Henry; and you must promise to get well as soon as poss'ble。〃
  Uncle Henry smiled and cuddled his little niece close in his lap。
  〃I'm better already; my darling;〃 said he。
  
  THE END
