Mrs. Ogden that an inner door she had fastened
with a hook the evening before had been opened

articles Of food TO be placed nightly where they
could be easily found.
Yesterday morning Mrs Ogden found con-
elusive evidence that the articles she had left
exposed the evening before had been disturbed

dozen times since the disappearance Of the boy,

the nurse noticed board Off the wall in the

There's a space big enough in there said
he.

preached him, and with difficulty taken

anything of his doings. and absolutely nothing
had been in the house two or three times at
