of the seats to his Magic Umbrella, said goodbye
to Trot and Cap'n Bill, and flew into the air to begin his journey to
Philadelphia. Just before he started, Trot said:

"Let me know if you get home safe, Button-Bright, an' come an' see me
again as quick as you can."

"I'll try to come again," said the boy. "We've had a good time, haven't
we, Trot?"

"The bes' time I EVER had!" she replied enthusiastically. Then she
asked, "Didn't you like it, too, Cap'n Bill?"

"Parts o' it, mate," the sailor answered as he thoughtfully made marks
in the sand with the end of his wooden leg, "but seems to me the bes'
part of all was gett'n' home again."

After several days Trot received a postal card from Button-Bright. It
was awkwardly scrawled, for the boy was not much of a writer, but Trot
managed to make out the words. It read as follows:

"Got home safe, Trot, and the folks were so worried they forgot to
scold me. Father has taken the Magic Umbrella and locked it up in the
big, strong chest in the attic. He put the key in his own pocket, so I
don't know as I'll ever be able to see you again. But I'll never forget
the Queen of Sky Island, and I send my love to you and Cap'n Bill.

"Your friend,

"Button-Bright."
