the Dye family more or less concern

it also caused them to be somewhat

I gave my word I'd bring Deane back

Bill agreed. reluctantly, to do what
he could. IT think you're needlessly
worried, though. Deane,s probably out

Carl. mo luck yet" he told her. "Bill
and slipped up somewhere. If he
calls you tell him I'll meet him at
the fremont street subway entrance"
But Bill did not call, and at 1890
Mollie told Selma to 60 to bed.
There's nothing to worry about" she
said, confidently. She wondered if
Selma knew that Deane was under
suspicion, and If not, why she should
be so much concerned over Deane's
absence. "I'm going in to see Ann and
Rita minute. If Bill or Carl calls
I'll wake you up."
She found Rita asleep, but Ann was
writing note to her mother. Mollie
sat on the foot of the bed and kicked
of her shoes. IF I get too nosey,
Ann" she said, quietly, you can tell
me to mind my own business. I'm
curious about you and Lee. I mean
did you two straighten things out?"
Ann grinned. Good old Mother
Mollie," she said. "You shouldn't
worry so about other peoples trou-
bles." She put the pen down. I'VE
barely had a chance to say the usual
nothings. But we're going to have a
chance to fight it out very soon,
imagine. Lee plans to stay in Wash
ington for some time"
Abruptly, Mollie slid from the bed
and pulled on her shoes. II thought

If We never find him. What a wet
blanket he turned out to be-"
"Is Carl up?" Ann asked.
Bill nodded. "He came down ahead
OF me -. Come on, let's get something
to eat"
Ann expected to find Carl in the
dining room, but it was not until they
had finished their cereal that his big
frame appeared in the wide doorway.
His face was strangely grave, and
though he simulated smile when he
saw them it was evident that he had
merely drawn his lips back in purely
muscular act.

"Oh, yes" the man said. II had 1t

truck came in. Runs close to 400
pounds"
Two policemen stood on opposite
sides Of Lees plane, ammunition belts
outside their jackets. when Lee came
up and without ceremony pulled the
cabin door open and climbed in.
Ann found Bill waiting in the foyer
and a moment later they were joined
by Carl, who came wiggling out Of the
slow-moving stream.
well, runt," Bill asked, what do
you think of the boy as a speaker?"
Ann had ben tremendously i'm
pressed by Lees modesty and eager
ness to have otheys share the credit
and she admitted as much to Bill, but
she was even more impressed at this
moment by Bills easy familiarity. 1t
was the first time he had called her
"runt" in weeks. She didn't know
why he had done it unless deliber-
ately to end their strained relations,
but she was glad he had.
Bill said: Take him from any
angle, Lees aces. Darn funny, run
ming off like that, though"
She remembered then that she was
the only one of their group who knew
the reason for Lees hurried departure
and presently when Rita and Selma
and Mollie came out she pulled Mollie
off to one side and gave her Lees
message. They were still talking when
Carl joined them.
"Deane's skipped" he said to Mol
lie. The heavy tone of his voice said
a great deal more-implied what Mol
lie seemed to understand but Ann
did not.
Hes probably at the hotel" Ann
suggested. Selma said he didn't
want to- come here in the first place.
But Carl doubted they would find
Deane at the hotel. He gave me the
slip this afternoon and had to put
the police on his trail Then, as it
happened, found him myself-at the
South station"
Mollie explained to Ann: "The
Washington police have been shadow
ing Deane for weeks and the only rea-
son they let him come on this trip was
that Carl agreed to keep an eye on
him"
"You think Deane knows he's being
shadowed?" Ann asked.
Undoubtedly" Carl said.
When they reached the hotel. Selma
went directly to Deane's room and
came back with the report that her
brother was not there. She seemed
so distressed that Ann wondered If
Deane had told his sister he planned
to bolt at the first opportunity.
Bill was disguised. and he didn't
care who knew it. Theyshad planned
to 60 directly from the lecture hall to
a night club. Carl got Bill away from
the group and told him why he was
troubled. You're got to help me, Bill.

AUGUST BUILDING
CONTINUES BRISK
Volume 52.2 Pct. Greater
! Than Last Year, Reports
:, Institute.

Building contracts in August were
Still well above the volume of year
ago, in keeping with the situation dur
sng the previous months of this year,
according to the Alexander Hamilton
. Institute.
The volume was 522 per cent larger
than q year ago and was above the
level for any August since 1881. At
the same time, building activity was
still in q state of pronounced depres-
sion as compared with the boom years
before the slump. Contracts awarded
In August equaled only 272 per cent
of the volume in the same month Of
1928, the year when building activity
was the highest on record.
Rising Rent Stimulus.
Building activity last month con-
tinued to have the stimulus of ris-
ing rent trend, which indicated that
real estate values are still appreciating.
Rents in August reached the highest
level of the current upward movement,
which began in February, 1884. The
increase so far has amounted to 14.2
above the rent level despite the fact
that costs are little higher now than
they were when the advance in rents
started, the fact that rents are rising
while costs are remaining stable has
convinced some builders that rents and
values will eventually justify present
costs. This outlook has also been a
factor In making mortgage money
more available. In this connection,
however, the Government, which is
more interested in stimulating build
ing than in the absolute safety of its
Investments, plays large part, since
1t is willing to back loans on building
operations.
Rent Figures Still Low.
The fact, however. that the rent
level does not yet warrant the cost
OF building explains why building up
to the present time has regained SO
little of the ground lost during the
depression. Despite the rise, the rent
index in August, based on 1926 at 100
was only 70.6, whereas the cost OF
building index was 93.8.
There is little prospect that rents
will continue to rise until they reach
the level Of present building costs. Full
recovery will thus be retarded until
costs are reduced. At the present
time no progress is being made along
this line.
