“I think it’s here somewhere, if it hasn’t been sent away.”
“Sent away where?”
“With the rubbish. Man was here taking rubbish away this morning.”
“Well, now I want you to find out in a hurry if he has taken that paper away.”
“Why, what are you going to——”
“Don’t stop to ask questions. Find that paper!”
Frank’s tone made the janitor jump.
“All right, sir!” he exclaimed. “Wait here a minute and I’ll find out about it.”
The man was gone about two minutes, and then came back, looking alarmed.
“It’s gone!” he declared.
