Synopsis.—Circumstances having
prevented Spalding Nelson, clerk,
from joining the American forces
going to Frame, he is in a 'de
spondent mood when tie receives
an invitation to dinner from his
great-uncle, Rtffus Gaston. On the
way to the house lie meets, under
peculiar circumstances, a young
girl, apparently in trouble, to whom
he has an opportunity to be of
slight service. She lives in the same
apartment building as Uufus Gas
ton, and he accompanies her to the
house. Gaston and his wife are go
ing to Maine for a trip and want
to leave Nelson in charge of the
apartment. He accepts. Gaston
und his wife tell iheir great-nephew
at mysterious ncises -•‘whispers’’—
which, they have heard , in the
house. On his way to the Gaston
apartment the next Sunday Nelson
again meets Ids accidental ac
quaintance of a few days before.
Harbara Bradford. She urges him
not to allow the fact of their be
ing acquainted to be known. At
'the apartment Nelson meets the
superln:eiMleiit. Wi<k. nod Instino-
lively dislikes him In a wall sate
he finds a n*ckla< e of magnificent
pearts. worth a small fortune.
Meeting Barbara In the hallway sit*

not seem to have any connection with
the other'affairs that were troubling
me, if I was to remain in Ne\v>¥dfk
and become ^better acquainted with
Barbara Bradford, ns I fondly hoped.
I meant to have nothing hanging over
me.
I was about to get into bed. had
turned out the light, in fact, when I
recalled the errand that had led me to
open the wall safe. 1 had more than
two hundred .dollars in my trousers
pocket and I purposed putting it
where it would he «qfe. With the
feeling that if the Jewels hud disap
peared, so might my money, I pressed
the light button in the sitting room
anti looked about for a biding place.
Recalling a custom of my mother's. I
stcpp«*d over to the bookcase and tak

Three, from the shelf, placed lief ween

Afteeii dollars. No burglar was likely
to ttnd It there
1 extinguished the light and In the
darkrte«* stepped ha<*k into my bed-
me to know*that when trouble again
threatened her she had decided to
trust In me and had sought my aid. -
I fell asleep at last and slept for I
do not know iiow long. Opening my
eyes in the darkness I seemed to feel
the presence of someone in the room.

no evidence anywhere of anyone’s

“If Dad were alive he would know

there was not much money left. We’re

We’ve been living from day to day on

She Imiked at me thoughtfully,
studying me as if questioning wheth
er or not 1 was to be trusted, and ap
parently deciding in the allirmative,
told me an amazing story.
“It’s all about my sister, Claire” she
began. “Slie’s five years older than
I. She’s, a lovely girl, but she’s—that
is, she used to be—impulsive, 'roman
tic, and headstrong. She and my
mother never got along well together,
and she was sent away to boarding
school. One winter, it was six years
ago, mother was in Europe and only
Dad and I were at home . . .”
She sighed sadly. Evidently her
words were bringing hack to her mo
