Synopsis.—Clrrumstancea having prevented Spalding Nelson, clerk, from joining the American forces going to France, he is in> a de spondent mood when he receives an invitation to dinner from his great-uncle, Rufus Gaaton. On the way to the house he meets, under peculiar , circumstances, a young girl, apparently in trouble, to whom he has an opportunity to be of alight service. She lives in the same %partment building as Rufus Gas ton, and he accompanies her to the house. Gaston and his wife are go ing to Maine for a trip and wr.nt to leave Nelson In charge of the apartment. He accepts. Gaston and his wife tell their great-nephew of mysterious noises—“whispers'*— which they have heard in the house. On hia way to the Gaston apartment the next Sunday Nelson again meets his accidental ac quaintance of a few days before. Barbara Bradford. She urges him not to allow tha fact of their be ing acquainted to be known. At the apartment Nelson meets the superintendent.

Only last night I discovered that all the Gaston jewels which han been left in my custody are gone.” • “Not stolen!” she cried. “The Gas ton pearls!” “Yes,” I replied, “the pfarls, to<h” “Why, they are worth two hundred thousand dollars, at least.

Why jhad someone stolen the Gaston pearls and then In an anony mous letter to me spoken of the theft? I wondered, too; if the successful at tempt to discredit me at my place of business had not originated from the same mysterious source. s Was my great-uncle Rufus to blame? The suspicion of him, rose in my mind and would not be downed. I re called the unusual pretext on which he had sent for me after having paid no attention to my existence for near ly a year.

Pigeonhole after pigeonhole I ex am ined without result until at last I came to a little leather-covered diary.

About six weeks previous to the pres ent date I found this amazing entry; “Heard whispers last night.” A week lat^r there was another en try. “Whispers again.” There could he no question as to what he meant. The ghostly noises that had been heard by both Miss Bradford and myself had been heard by him. too. No wonder the old man had been so terrified.
