In ? moment" a great gong ?Qnnded_ through the hotel and there was heard ~a great~s?urry!ug. It was then that the boy and the girl looked about .them in the hotel. The staircases were_greHT~~htgHi- wind-_ inp on>?ii, 4uul-the llmirs were of beau tifuliy polished woq^w^rk, though they could see sim?e scratches on the floors wnich looked as though there had been a dance or a bull given there recently. Pictures hung on the walls in enor mous gilt frames, jind in the hallway where they stood wasthe biggest coat and hat rack they hau ever seen with so many coats and hats hanging there they felt they could never count them all. The great scurry had kept up. Now the trays had not grown for a few moments. But they were enormous now, and the brownies were very much larger and the food looked as if it had been prepared for many, many people. Now the hurrying and the scurrying wounded nearer, and from all parts "Off With the Roof." of the great hotel the little creatures came hurrying. ? wolponip." they 'shouted. Tin* boy anil the girl almost felt em barrassed that so many creatures were coming to welcome them. The, -boy felt perhaps he should make some sort of a polite little speecn. He tlionnlif n moment- and then lie said : "I do hope we haven't taken any of you away from oilier engagements. " -No, not a bit of it," they an began to say. "Not a bit of it. We always have had time to welcome guests. That's what we love above everything. That's why we live in the Hospitality hotel." "hfthis the only hotel of Its kind?* asked the girl of a brownie who was standing right by her. ~Not exactly the only one, though there is no other just like it," said the brown if. "But Til show you about before bedtime. Now we'll watch the banquet being made ready." Again the great gong sounded, and once more the trays began to grow and grow untii all the trays grew to gether and appeared like a long, long table /with all sorts of food upon it. No longer were there any trays, every one was now a part of the great table, and as the table became a ban quet table all the hosts and hostesses | and the boy and girt and Master Though tfulnese moved to one side. 1 They could do this very easily, for the great hallway seemed to grow wider and wider all the time, too! "Where have the brownies gone who held the trays?" asked the boy. He h*d no sooner said this than the girl I added : "Why, they've disappeared. They were growing larger and larger, and then they went away entirely, but how strange we didn't see them go." "Not strange at all," said a voice from under the long table. And there arose, rather slowly, the largest crea ture they had ever seen. He was fully as long as the table, and when he atood up he had to call out to a night watchman : "OfT with the roof, off with the roof. I'm standing up t" "Yes, Night Watchman," he tailed, "ofT with the roof." "Who are you?" asked the girl. "And how do you do these things?" asked the boy.
