They were not at all dis- mayed until they realized that their money had disappeared. At wit's end, needing cash In a hurry, they decided upon the desperate plan of turning the place Into a country hotel. They hung out a sign on the state highway, and as the night whs a dark and 9tormy one they soon had a houseful of Ill- assorted guests. There was Harold Custer, a timid young man and his fright- ened mother; Pe ches breeding, a ha.rd-bolled chorus girl; Ur. Beamish, a mysterious blind man who tapped his way with a cone; Dr. Omahandra, a West Indian mystic; Kay Saraedl, his beautiful and strange oatlent, and Madame Celesta, a Haitian witch doctor.
