ford and renders her a service. She
lives in the same apartment build
ing as the Gastons. They go there
together. CASTOR and his wife are
going to Maine for a trip and ask
Nelson to 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 idea of informing
the police is not acted upon be-
cause of peculiar circumstances.
He has been discharged from his
position without adequate eXplana-
ton or reason, and feels himself
involved in something of mys-
terry. He decides to conduct an in
vestigation himself. That night
Barbara signals from the window
of her apartment, which is opposite
his, and they arrange meeting
for next day. In the morning he
finds q 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 runaway marriage with an ad-
venturer, from whom she was
soon parted, and the marriage had
been annulled. Claire is engaged
to be married and someone, know

CHAPTER vi.

Left alone for q moment by my com
Danion, I sat there at the table in
the crowded restaurant, idly watching
the beautifully costumed women all
about me, listening dreamily to the
music of the orchestra, observing with
interest the graceful gyrations Of the
occasional couple who sought the
Sdancing floor in the center, when sud-
denly / was brought to myself by
hearing a gruff voice saying:
"What'd you bring that crook in
here for?"
"What do you mean" gasped In
establishment, looking up at square
shouIdered man with neatly trimmed
black mustache who was standing be-
side my table.
TITS you I mean," he announced.
"Don't you know you can't bring that
Kind of people in here?"
AS explanation for my presence
there in the White room of the IA
nous Hundredth hotel, let me say
that my Investigations into the per-
picking chain of mysterious circum-
stances in which Barbara Bradford
and / seemed to be each day becom-
ing more firmly involved, had finally
led me to deduce three different the
cries. each more or less plausible,
and each involving an entirely differ
ent set Of persons.
There were certain happenings and
oeto hof
times wonder If the whole thing were
not base plot on the part of my
great-uncle Rufus, perhaps influenced
by a desire for revenge or perhaps
led on by an insane greed for still
greater wealth.
Yet on the other hand, there were
those entries in his diary about the
mysterious voices. Apparently, too,
his wife and Mrs. Burke had heard
them.
Did 1t not seem more likely that the
arch plotter was Claire Bradfords ex-
husband?
This theory seemed far more ten
able. While the Bradfords had heard
nothing from him for several years,
the publication of Claire Bradford's
engagement might have attracted his
notice and inspired him to an attempt
at blackmail Yet how could he gam
access to the wall safe where the di-
yorce papers were kept, or how could
he be dropping notes on the floor of
Barbara Bradford's BEDROOM How
could he have stolen the CASTOR
pearls? 1t seemed incredible but still
my thoughts kept returning to the
possibility of his directing Claire
Bradfords actions through hypnotic
control. Once he had had influence
over her sufficient to make her give
up family, friends, home, everything,
to marry him. Had he, in some way
unknown to Barbara Bradford, re-
gained his control over her sister and
was he using her as the unconscious
tool for his villainies? She could
have gained access to my room by
walking along the ledge when all the
house was still. Yet this theory ex-
planned neither the theft of the pearls,
my great-uncle's peculiar actions, my
own discharge, nor the mysterious
noises In the apartment had still
n third theory.

WINOOSKI MILLS
CLOSED INDEFINITELY
Many of the 1000 Employees Seek 9th

IL
Seriously Curtailed

) BURLINGTON, Aug. 7.-Sos far ssas
can be. learned at present, the shutdown
of the american Wooden company g
mills at Wineoski will be of consider
able duration.> According to q state
ment by officials>of. the company yes
terday, it is simply a case of no or
| deFs and 4 estr see none on the way;
the outlook is very unfavorable.
The Wipooski mills, which in normal
times employ. around 1000 people and
pay in salaries to their workers about
$3.50, 900 per month, are now employing
only about a score of men, who are
working on samples and finishing jobs
which had been started. According to
present indications, these conditions
will continue for several months.
Since the Winooski mills closed, the
receipts of merchants in Burlington
and Winooski have been greatly eur
tailed and the effect is felt in nearly
all of the stores. There appears to be
plenty of employment, however, and
few of those who were out of work
|. by the closing are remaining idle, un,
less it be of their own free will Many
have taken jobs on farms while Others
have secured employment in other IN
dustries in this vicinity, thus filing
the employment lists in several of the
mills where help is needed
