On the way he meets Barbara Brad ford and renders her a service. She lives in the same apartment build ing as the Gastons. They go there together. Gaston and his wife are going to Maine for a trip and ask Nelson 5) live in their apartments. He accepts. The Gastons tell him of mysterious noises about the apartment—"whispers” and noises that have scared them. Going to the apartment a few days later Nelson again meets Barbara, his accidental acquaintance. Nelson meets the building superintendent. Wick, and Instinctively dislikes him. In a wall safe he finds a necklace of magnificent pearls Next day Nelson finds the pearls have disappeared^ from the wall safe His first idee of informing the police is not acted upon be cause of peculiar circumstances He has been discharged from hta position without adequato at plana ttwo or roaoun. and feels himeelf involved la something of a mys tery He dertdeo to conduct aa la- veetlgatm* htmoetf Tha> night ftnrhara elgmaio from tho window Illujlrul totv# *y re.'

The relations between Mr. Bradford and Rufus Gaston puzzled me. Miss Bradford’s recollection of her father’s remark about my great-uncle certainly Indicated* that he held no high opinion of him. . My great-uncle’s actions throughout had been peculiar. His suddenly sending for me and insisting on my coming here to live, his Insist ence on leaving his wife’s jewels in my »care, and on entrusting me with the combinatldn of the safe, all now took on a sinister aspect. It certainly was peculiar that he had gone off without leaving me any-address where he could he reached. Then, too, there was my own unex pected and unwarranted discharge at my place of business. I was positive In some way it was connected with my having come to this place to live. Had my great-uncle himself brought It altont for the purpose of discrediting me?
