There was no reply, and he was on the point of sending a cadet for a step-ladder when the door opened and in came Peleg Snuggers with the very thing wanted.
"Mr. Crabtree sent me to git 'em," explained the general utility man.
"Hurrah! Peleg to the rescue!" cried Andy.
"Now, Peleg, do the great balancing act," said Fred Century.
"I will hold the ladder for you, Snuggers," said Mr. Strong. "Boys, stand back," he added, afraid that some of the lads might attempt some joke while the general utility man was in the air.
The step-ladder was placed in position and Snuggers mounted cautiously to the top. He could just reach the chandelier and the teeth, and it took him some time to cut the teeth loose.
"I'll take 'em right to Mr. Crabtree," he said on coming down. "He's in a mighty big hurry for 'em."
"Very well," returned George Strong.
Pepper was watching matters closely and he at once guessed that somebody had told Josiah Crabtree where the teeth were.
"It must have been the fellow who spotted me last night," reasoned The Imp. "Wonder if he told my name? If he did——" Pepper ended the question with a big sigh.
