for the comfortable housing Of such
family as that of Woodrow Wilson
was secured And finally, in 1912,
the office building has been enlarged
and reconstructed, so that the new
president will have such family &C
commodations as many of his prede-
cessors sighed for in vain.
The story of the successive White
House families has much of pictur-
esque variety. Not always has the
mistress been the wife of the presi-
dent. Buchanan was a bachelor; he
had been disappointed in love as {
young man. jefferson, jackson. VaE

Grover Cleveland alone Of the line

lost his wife while in office, and mar
place in New York. Benjamin Harri-
sons wife died while he was in the
presidential chair. Mrs. Mckinley
was an invalid, as was the first Mrs.
Tyler.
Andrew Jackson had a battle that
cost him more sleep probably than
did the battle of New Orleans,
battle over the social recognition of
certain lady while he was living in
the presidential home. The Pierces
lost son by sad accident, and the
calamity threw shadow over most
of their four years in the residence.
And each of the two last presidents
has had daughter to take her place
as the first young lady of the land.
and now the new president has not
only one, but three.

divorced wife. How, IN view Of these
conflicting statements, could 1 hope
to trace the murderer? I instructed
my chief assistant to follow up the
vague clues supplied by the farmer
and the corn merchant, and imposed
upon myself the task of discovering
whether there was connecting link
betwee-. Nine. Servois' disappearance
and the finding of the body.
The coincidence of Auguste having
been seen at Nogent-sur-Marne, the
day Nine. Servois called there on her
friend, had caused me to have his
lodgings watched night and day. But,
thus far, he had not turned up there
nor at his favorite haunt, where Claire
was still waiting for him every night.
l next saw Nine Servois' lawyer, who
was very anxious about his client.
Young Edouard," he said, ''has al
ready been to see me several times.
He knows that in the event of his
aunt's death he will inherit a large
share of her property, and his
thoughts seem 20 run more on the
money than ON the fate that may
have befallen her NJ. Goron, do you
really think that the body found is
that of Nine Servois?"

tions," l replied, Il cannot give an
opinion. Since the day Nine Mesier.
rightly or wrongly recognized the re-
mains as those of the missing woman
have had nothing but supposition to
guide me-
At Nine, Servois' bankers, l learned
that she kept her securities at home
in an iron safe, and regularly with
drew the greater part of the sums
collected for her Neither they nor
the lawyers had the faintest idea how
much money she had in her posses
sion, as she never volunteered any
statement; but they thought the
amount must be considerable.
l was growing impatient. Thus far
no fact that could in any way assist
my search had been brought to light.
Certain deductions led me to suppose
that Nine. Servois might have been
murdered, while at other moments |
was inclined to agree with Josephine
that the body found in the Fontaine-
bleau Forest was not that of her mis-
tress. But, in that case, what had be-
come of her?

Fontainebleau Forest. A party of hol-
iday-makers had been picnicking in
the neighborhood os Barbizon and had
gone for ramble, when, passing
through some bushes, two OF them
stumbled over sack. They cut the
rope with which it was tied. and be-
held the headless body of a woman.
1 Immediately went to Barbizon to
inspect the CHASTITY find. The head
was absent, the arms and legs were
mangled beyond recognition, and ac-
cording to the medical evidence the
crime must have been committed a
couple of days before. The skirt still
chung to the body. 1t was of silky
material called, l think, foulard, of a
dark blue color with little white dots
printed all over 1t.
My first thought, of course, was of
Nine Servois, and I begged Nine.
Meiser and Josephine t0 assist me
in my investigations. The condition
of the body rendered Identification
almost impossible, but Nine. Mesier
at once recognized the dress as hav-
ing belonged to her friend; whereupon
Josephine shook her head and de-
clared the white spots on her mis-
tress' gown were bigger.
81 swear it is Nine. Servois' Dress"
said Nine Mesier.
81 swear it is mott" exclaimed
Josephine.
Where did she buy the material, or
who made the dress?" 1 asked
Unfortunately neither of them
knew. Nine. Servois had the year
before made a tour through Germany
and had bought the costume there.
The body was transferred to Paris
and exposed in the morgue. where
upon matters became still more COM
plicated, for a farmer from Lisieux
recognized the dress as that Of his sis
ter, who had run away from her home
a month ago; and corn merchant in
the Rue Vieille-du-Temple was equally
positive that it had belonged to his

garet Wilson, Miss Jessie Wilson and
Miss Eleanor Wilson will move into
the White House next March.
| The place of the ladies of the White
House has been kept before the coun-
try almost as prominently through all
these years as has that of the presi-
dent himself. Eternally questions of

large part in the histories of the
nations of Europe.
Abigail Adams, First Mistress.
The wife of the first president did
not live in the White House, of course.
Abigail Adams of Quincy, Mass,
was the first mistress of the mansion,
although in her time it was a mansion
In the making, and the finishing
seemed to her very far away indeed.
1t was she who used the great, I'M

which to dry the family wash.
Dolly Madison was almost as much
mistress of the mansion in Jefferson's
time as in that of his successor, her
husband, and 1t was she who saved
the one piece of the original furnish

tial residence. When the British
burned the house in 1914 the redoutt-
able Dolly managed to carry away
the portrait of Washington which
hangs now over the mantel in the Red
room.
1t has taken a long time fer the
mansion to approach completion, and
no sooner was it finished thar it was
destroyed by the ruthless hands Of the
English soldiery.
The building which succeeded the
first residence was a faithful repro
duction in forms and dimensions of
the plans drawn by the original ar
chitect, Maj Hoban. The very foun-
dations and part Of the outside walls
are relics of the building which went
in fire in 1914.

Then in 1902 there was begun the

have resulted In the mansion of to-

the presidents house was intended
to be by those who made the original
plans for it. 1t was necessary to re-

of being headquarters for the bust

mex was built and thus the disfgur-
ing additions to the mansion could be
taken away.
The original plans we're studied
for the restoration Of the residence
itself, and the buildings OF the Uni
versity of Virginia, planned by JEFF
ferson, were investigated. A dining
room was provided in which 100
guests might be entertained. Space

Detecting Invisible Finger-Prints.

Detecting Invisible Finger-Prints.
Officers of the San Francisco bu-
reau of Identification have, it is said.
perfected a process by which they de-
velop invisible f1nger-prints. The dis
covery consists of a chemical solution
that is kept secret. In recent murder
case, former sutton of the murdered
girl was suspected. He disappeared
mysteriously after the crime, but the
detective found a time table in the
room where the young man had lived.
The new solution was sprayed on the
pages of the booklet. Gradually green
marks began to develop, and they
proved to be bloodstained finger-prints.
This was three days after the murder.
A streak made by finger soon dis
appeared. At the end of it was a
clearly defined finger-print. 1t pointed
straight to a small village in Ohio,
where the detectives journeyed and
arrested their man.
