"That's what we all want to know," answered Jack.
"What did they get?" asked Donald.
"How did they get in?" went on Pepper.
"One at a time, boys," put in Rand. "Come, Jack, tell us the whole story."
"Well, all I know is, Officer Dugan found a window open this morning and the place all upside down. The judge hadn't come down yet, so they don't know what's missing. From the tracks around it looks as if some boys were mixed up in it."
"That's queer," commented Rand. "I wonder who it could have been, and what they were after?"
"Money, of course," said Pepper.
"I don't think so," returned Jack. "If it was money I think they would have picked out a more likely place. I guess it must have been papers, or something like that."
"Pooh!" criticized Donald, "what would anybody in their senses want to steal papers for?"
"There are more unlikely things than that," replied Jack. "I have read of such things."
