"Hurrah for Dorothy!"

"I thought you said you did not know how to use the magic of the Nome
King's Belt," said the Wizard to Dorothy.

"I didn't know, at that time," she replied, "but afterward I remembered
how the Nome King once used the Magic Belt to enchant people and
transform 'em into ornaments and all sorts of things; so I tried some
enchantments in secret and after awhile I transformed the Sawhorse into
a potato-masher and back again, and the Cowardly Lion into a pussycat
and back again, and then I knew the thing would work all right."

"When did you perform those enchantments?" asked the Wizard, much
surprised.

"One night when all the rest of you were asleep but Scraps, and she had
gone chasing moonbeams."

"Well," remarked the Wizard, "your discovery has certainly saved us a
lot of trouble, and we must all thank the Frogman, too, for making such
a good fight. The dove's shape had Ugu's evil disposition inside it, and
that made the monster bird dangerous."

The Frogman was looking sad because the bird's talons had torn his
pretty clothes, but he bowed with much dignity at this well-deserved
praise. Cayke, however, had squatted on the floor and was sobbing
bitterly.

"My precious dishpan is gone!" she wailed. "Gone, just as I had found it
again!"

"Never mind," said Trot, trying to comfort her, "it's sure to be
_some_where, so we'll cert'nly run across it some day."

"Yes, indeed," added Betsy; "now that we have Ozma's Magic Picture, we
can tell just where the Dove went with your dishpan."

They all approached the Magic Picture, and Dorothy wished it to show the
enchanted form of Ugu the Shoemaker, wherever it might be. At once there
appeared in the frame of the Picture a scene in the far Quadling
Country, where the Dove was perched disconsolately on the limb of a tree
and the jeweled dishpan lay on the ground just underneath the limb.

"But where is the place--how far or how near?" asked Cayke anxiously.

"The Book of Records will tell us that," answered the Wizard. So they
looked in the Great Book and read the following:

"Ugu the Magician, being transformed into a dove by Princess
Dorothy of Oz, has used the magic of the golden dishpan to carry
him instantly to the northeast corner of the Quadling Country."

"That's all right," said Dorothy. "Don't worry, Cayke, for the Scarecrow
and the Tin Woodman are in that part of the country, looking for Ozma,
and they'll surely find you
