and supply of fresh fish, which was
carefully slowed away in the refrigerator
the night before. But all these supplies
as we'll as cold roast, two large cakes,
several pies, bread, butter and every
thing else edible were missing Sunday
morning when the family were called to
breakfast. The refrigerator and pantry
were cleaned out as bare as Old Mother

were also gone, as well as So belonging
to the hired girl. A thief had entered the
house during the night and helped him
self to everything he wanted and he
mostly wanted something to eat. A
camp of tramps down on the river prob
ably had feast Sunday and Hugh was
not invited either.
