"As nearly Is I can recall his words

"I don't I'eieinber that, prohnhly

"Did he smy anything else?"

"Yes, I adniilted, "lut fill the dits

"ICan't I telephone you?"
"No, that wouldn't do at all. Moth
er and Claire would both want to know
all about it and besides-"
"Besides what?"
"I don't trust that girl at the switch
board. 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."
Ilaving reached this understanding,
I walked with her to the park entrance
within sight of the house. 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.

The fielding on both sides was bril
