said, what are you crying about?"
She threw an arm about the
other girl. Like a child, Pat pill
lowed her head against Joan's arm.
SILLY Of me to cry" Pat whispered
brokenly, when there's no rea-
SON."
But there must be a reason.
Please tell me, dear!"
Could Pat be grieving about
Jerry FORESTER? No, that did not
seem likely. Pat had seemed per-
fectly happy for weeks. And it was
Just as unlikely that Pat was
homesick. She adored the excite
ment of New York. She was never
tired or bored.
Suddenly Joan believed she I'M
derstood. 1t must be that Pat was
in love. How blind she had been
not to understand All at once
Joan saw that Pat had changed.
She was more subdued now. There
was a becoming reserve about her.
Who is hep" Joan asked.
There was a moment Of silence.
Joan felt Pats arm grow tense
against her own. Then came Pats
usual cheerful voice, Now, won't
you listen to Mrs. Detective!"
pat, dear, forgive me for say
ing this, but I hate to think you
might seriously care for Vance. I've
thought from the first that he is
Jerry's type. I'm sorry if I've hurt
you"

Then it was Vance. Joan was
amazed at the revelation in the grim
young voice. How selfish she had
been. So absorbed in her own I'M
happiness she had failed to remem-

She had known of course that Pat
was seeing good deal of Vance
Nicholas, but it had never occurred
to her that Pats interest was Sc
deep.
Pat" Joan said slowly, "I can't
quite believe it. OF course, he's good
looking"
Well, if you had had eyes you
would have noticed that l was giving
him all my time"
L did notice, but I didn't think
it meant anything"
mo use worrying, Joan. Guess
I've got another case of puppy love
as mother would call it. I'll get
over it. I suppose. but it's painful
while it lasts-like mumps anc
measles"
loan sighed. If she and Pat were
- only at home tonight! Nothing
about this new life seemed real
Memories of those weeks at home
memories of Bob seemed a hundred
times more genuine.
UnconsciouSly, Joan had boarded
every memory, every gesture OF
Bob's. She could still see the steadi-
ness of his eyes. the little trick he
had of drawing his brows together
a frown that was not frowning al
ADJUST concentration, the ominous
set to his chin when he was angry
and the teasing smile which re-
vealed his firm, white teeth.

Screaming, helpless with fright, Jean dropped
through the air and was caught IN the hairy arms

lion Dollars

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. (uP)
President-elect Roosevelt moves
March ! into II house which has
been kept from tumbling down
upon its occupants heads only by
expenditures Of millions of dol
lars.
The White House cost only
about $350,000 to build. including
the $500 that went to Architect
James Hoban for designing it.
Since then it has been rebuilt,
refurnished, refurbished, redeco-
rated, reroofed and reinforced SO
often that its cost has risen to al
most $10,000,000. With the
grounds, the White House now is
valued at $22,000,000.
The mansion has u DIN for 30
servants, an automatic elevs tor
and coat after coat Of white lead
paint. 49,. ~.
The British are responsible for
the white paint. When they cap
tured Washington in 1914, they
put the torch to the mansion.
Nothing was left but the smoke
blackened walls. Architect Hoban
rebuilt the house and had the
smoked area covered over with
paint. .. ... .-
President Monroe spent 100000
for good, substantial furniture.
President Van Buren, spent $27,-

President Arthur did the whole
house over in the rococco style
then prevalent. Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt didn't like it. She had

Installation of gas lights, of

dreds of thousands more as the
years went by and new inventions
for the home became available.
The ancient timbers in the man,
sion meantime became weaker,
and weaker. Engineers feared q
catastrophe.
Finally most of the timbers
were replaced with steel beams.
Workmen almost had to tear the
house down to do it. President
Harrison's wife had all the floors
torn up. There were too many
rats scurrying under the planks
for her peace of mind. -
One of the most recent major
expenditures was 100000 for a
new roof during the regime of
President Coolidge. The new roof
was so heavy that engineers had
to shore in new pillars to sup
port It.

He was an American, smooth

he was about AZ years old, five

wore sand-colored tweed over
coat and a cap. Mrs. Boettcher
did not see his confederate, but
plainly noted that their car was
without license plates.
The police radio cracked in
structions to patrol cars within
10 minutes after the abduction
but all trace of the sedan and its
occupants had vanished by the
time they arrived. -. ,

He did not see the kidnapers
arrive or depart. Apparently no

them. For although the .neighbors

scores of official cars none re-
ported seeing or hearing the kid
