I am like Sir Charles and the twins," he said; "I want you all to think of me some times when you are at your own home; but I am not rich like Sir Charles, so I must give you each some small thing."

So he gave each of the boys a fine strong knife, and each of the girls a doll; and he gave nurse a fine pink bow for her neck, and Aunt Bell a shell work box.

'We will be sure to keep the things for your sake, John," said they; "and we wil think of you each time we use them."

Then when they had bought all the things, it was time to go home to tea.

John had tea with them that night, and then he had a good romp with them all for the last time.

When it was time to say good night, Loo gave John a kiss, and said, “You know you are to come and see us in our own home in town some day, John."

"You may be sure I will come when I am in town, if I may," said John.

"Oh, that will be nice," said they all. "We will make mum write you a note her self to ask you to come, and then you will be quite sure that you may."

The next day the kind John came in to see if he could help, and he went with them to the train to see them start on their way home.

As the train set off the young folks stood at the door to wave their hands to their kind friend, and they saw him wave his hat till they were out of sight. Then they took their last look at the bright blue sea, and they said, "Good bye, dear old sea!"

And that night they were all safe at home, and slept in their own beds; and that was the end of Aunt Bell's treat.

The End.
