TT was early morning of the wedding day Of
George Conway. an American, and Lady
Annira Score. daughter of Lord Gorme, at
Dunu1m Castle. in the Highlands of Scotland
Conway lad returned after a years absence
with half million dollars; for Lord Gorme
had refused to permit the marriage unless he
should earn hundred thousand within that
time. Daura, Anniras sister, was awakened
by the skirlng of fairy pipes" the castles
historic premonition of dire tragedy. Terrified.
she rushed out of the house. and found Conway
standing in the road nearby.
A strange red motorcar dashed by. and Con-
way, though apparently not struck, fell back
unconscious. He was secretly carried into the
castle. Only two faithful servants and Alastair
MacRimmon, Dauras woud-be fance, knew
of the accident. Then Daura was summoned
to the reception hall to meet Robert Cameron
Troy, one of the occupants of the red automo-
bile who had crossed the ocean to find Conway.
Troy showed the most vengeful hatred of
Conway. and Daura persuaded the old family
doctor to keep the latter under a Supplying
drug to protect him against Troy's sinister de-
signs. As Troy insisted upon remaining near
by, she invited him to be the guest of the house.
Daura assigned him to the Black Breton
room. mysterious apartment supposed to be
haunted. and the scene of numerous tragedies
and disappearance in the castles early history.
An American named Emmons, who said he
was detective. having an unknown interest
in Conway and Troy. was permitted to take
up his residence at the CASTLE it being under
