>NUMBER ONE Puzzle

>A wealthy man had been counting his money. When he finished, he
accidentally
left a $100.00 bill on his desk. But when he returned for it a
short while
later, it was gone. Only two other persons could have seen the
bill. One was the
maid and the other was the butler.
>
>The maid told him that she had hidden it for safekeeping under
a green book
that was on the desk. But when they looked the bill was not there.
The butler
said he had found the bill where the maid had left it. He had
placed it inside
the book, where he thought there was less chance that would find
it.
>
>He had written down the page numbers so that he would not
forget them. The bill
was between pages 35 and 36, he said. But when they looked, there
was no money
in the book.
>
>After Mr Ellis had talked to the maid and the butler, he called
the police. He
was sure he knew who had taken the money. Who was it, and how did
he know?
