Albert Inner. a welI-known farmer IN

Provided the respective crop Yields
are not altogether out Of proportion to
the cost OF growing the crop, this
seems to be a good argument in favor
OF growing oats. But to grow oats
successfully II is not necessary to use
$50 or 500 land. In western Canada

Synopsis.- Nelson re-
ceives an Invitation to dinner from
his great-uncle. Rufus CASTOR. 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. CASTOR and his wife are
going to Maine for a trip and ask

OF mysterious noises about the
apartment-"whispers" and noises
that have scared them. Going to
the apartment a few days later
Nelson again mests Barbara, his
accidental acquaintance. Nelson
meets the building superintendent,
Wick. and instinctively dislikes
him. In a wall safe he finds q
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-
tion or reason, and feels himself
Involved In something OF a mys-
terry. He decides to conduct an In
vestigation himself That night
Barbara signals from the window
OF her apartment, which is opposite
MS, and they arrange a meeting
for next day. In the morning he
hnds 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

venturer. from whom she was
coon parted, and the marriage had
been onnulled. Claire Is engaged
