THIS STARTS THE STORY.

A house party is being given
ut the country home of RATHER
me and Bingham Harvard.
Among the guests is one Con-
rad Belknap. Katherine discov-
ers him cheating at cards. Con-
yinced that he is concealing his
real identity and that he is there
for some Interior purpose, Kath-
crime determines to ferret out
khe mystery. She intercepts a
telephone call of Bekhmap's to q
woman confederate named Rob-
erta, and, in turn, speaks to the
woman. Realizing that he is
suspected by Katherine, Belknap
threatens to accuse of a crime
her brother Roderick Maxwllton,
who is believed to be dead. Bing-
ham Harvard becomes suspicious
Of Belknap and Katherine's atti-
Sude toward him. Roberta ar
rives on the scene under the
name of Senorita Cervantez. Bel
KNAPP accuses Roberta of deceiv-
ing him. She admits the pres
ence of Roderick. Her love for
ROderick is revealed. RATHER
ane's father suspects that Bel
knap's real name is Bedding. A
Bedding was once hanged for
murdring his wife. A child
survived. A stranger, with a
scar on his face, has come to the
house. He is known as Car
ruthers. Belknap suspects him
of being a secret service agent.
At midnight Katherine hides
Belknap in a secluded lodge,
called The Nest. At the anne
hour an engagement is being
kept by Carruthers and Roberta.
