sis.-Clrcumstances having
prevented Spalding Nelson, clerk,
from joining the American forces
going to France, he ts lin a de-
Bpondent mood when he receives
an invitation to dinner from his
sreat-uncle, Rufus 0aston. On the
way to the house he meets, under
peculiar circumstances, young
girl, apparently In trouble. to whom
he has an opportunity 20 be OF
slight service. She lives in the same
apartment building as Rufus Cas-
ton, and he accompanies her to the
house. CASTOR and his wife are go
ing to Maine for q trip and want
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 his way to the CASTOR
apartment the next Sunday Nelson
again meets his accidental ac-
Quaintance OF few days before.
Barbara Bradford. She urges him
not to allow the fact of their be-
ing acquainted to be known. At
the apartment Nelson meets the
superintendent, Wick, and instinc-
lively dislikes him. In q wall safe
he fnds a necklace of magnificent
pearls, worth a small fortune.
Next day Nelson finds the pearls
have disappeared from the wall
safe. His first idea OF informing
the police is not acted upon be-
cause of peculiar circumstances.
He has been discharged from his
position without adequate explana-
tion or reason, and feels himself
involved in something of a mystery.
He decides to conduct an investi-
cation himself. That night Barbara
signals from the window Of her
apartment. which is opposite his.
and they arrange a meeting for
next day. In the morning he finds
note in his room, asking him why
he had not informed the police OF
the loss of the Jewels. Barbara
tells Nelson her sister Claire had
some years before made a rum
away marriage with an adventurer.
from whom she was soon parted.
and the marriage had been an
nulled. Claire is engaged to be
married and someone knowing Of
