I think she listens to every thing that Is said." "They are a prying lot," I admitted, "including Mr. Wick, the superintend ent." "I don't like himt a bit." "Nor I, but we imutst communicate with each other somehow. If you find out anything more you must let me know at once. If I learn anything, I'll let you know, and I'm going to dis cover a hit." "There's always our windows," she suggested, "they are close together. I can signal you when I'm alone, and we can talk." "I'll be there in my room every eve nilng from ten o'clock on," I said, "walting to hear from you. I'll put a lanikerclief on the sill wheni I'm there." "And I'll (do the same."

All the way we had been talking over the puz zMing circumstances of the anonymous notes and of the strange way in which they had been found on the floor. Miss Bradford had spoken again of the whispers she had heard. "The voices were vague--just like a ghost's might he," she said. "Yes," I a(mitted, "that's what they sounded like. But there aren't any ghosts. If those whispers were real, some human being was making then. I'm going to find out who it was, and when we've learned that, we'll have learned a lot about-" I hesitated. "About whom?" she questioned. "I don't know yet," I answered. I was wondering about- my great uncle Ilufus. (To lie continued.) . e ee. . .. * * * . . .. .. * I,.NFORD NIN.
