summoned to tho dumbwaiter.

He has taken it from ono of the

Next day Brown complained of tho
loss of a Dackage of sugar, which.
though purely Imaginary, so far as the
Browns were concerned, very soon
materialized in the bonds of tho re
sourceful Janitor. Even Brown got
uneasy then; but, being bent on ven
geance, he subsequently reported as
lost bread, a head of lettuce, and a
bag of potatoes, all of which wero im-
mediately produced by tho Janitor.
