"You're not supposed to ask questions, I take it, but to enjoy
your new home as much as you can."
"Ex--actly!" agreed the Major.
"I've been thinking," continued Uncle John, "that I'm not exactly fit
for all this style, Patsy. I'll have to get a new suit of clothes to
match my new quarters. Will you give me back ten dollars of that money
to buy 'em with?"
"I suppose I'll have to," she answered, thoughtfully.
"We'll have to go back to Becker's flats to pack up our traps," said
the Major, "so we might as well go now."
"I hate to leave here for a single moment," replied the girl.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid it will all disappear again."
"Nonsense!" said Uncle John. "For my part, I haven't any traps, so
I'll stay here and guard the treasure till you return."
"Dinner is served, Miss Patricia," said the small maid, appearing in
the doorway.
"Then let's dine!" cried Patsy, clapping her hands gleefully; "and
afterward the Major and I will make our last visit to Becker's flats."
CHAPTER XXVII.

Uncle John did not stay to guard the treasure, after all, for he knew
very well it would not disappear.
