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.

““What dbl the last note any?”
"Here it U." • ' *
This wag written and folded ns the
others had been, on the most ordinary
kind of writing palter. It read:
“Unless we get the money Wednes
day, Thayer gets the papers Thursday.
Kb^wedding then for yours. Same
bench at six-thirty.”
“What can I do about it?”
“I’ll go in your place,” I suggested.
“Oh, no, I couldn’t permit that.”
“Let me explain,” I hastened to say.
“I’m in this mystery as deep as you
are. 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. What have
you done aliout It? Have you notified
the police?”
.”No. as yet I have told no one of the
robbery but yourself.”
"Why not? You rauat notify the po-
llcp at oncy.”
We looked at each other despairing
ly. We both of us realized that we
TViuat be surrounded with s^me potent
•vll forces working to accomplish our
ruin. The motive in the anonymous
letters that Miss Bradford had been
receiving had plainly been blackiimil.
But what was the motive In ray owp
ca$e? 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. I recalled his curious warn
ing and that of his aged wife. I re-
nietnlH*red that they had Insisted on
leaving the jewels behind against my
urging*, and thftt they had been In-

T was determined to let the dlsajv
pearance' of the Jewels alone until I
hud found some way of getting tha
Bradfords out of their troubles. The
key to the mystery surely, lay In the
notes that had been found on the floor
in both apartments. If I could discov
er how the notes had been put there
and who put them there, I would be
on the trail of the miscreant*.
The placing of the notes indicated
the necessity of a confederate In the
apartment house. Could it be that
one of the employees .was In league
with the plotters? Was one of the
Bradford servants betraying them?

About six weeks previous to the pres

“Heard whispers last night.”
A week lat^r there was another en
