       haunts this house?"

30* "I knew it, sir. This is a

 bad place, sir. It has
     a lady ghost."

31*

 "If you find her,

Hawkins, introduce me."

32* "But they're perfectly

  fresh fish. The
fisherman said so."

go for a swim.

45 "Now tell me where you come from?"

46*

 "I have run away from

Hy Jessop, my foster father. When I was a baby he found

  me on the seashore."

47 "That's your ghost, Hawkins. Isn't she

              pretty?"

48 "'Cast Up by the Sea!' The very thing for

     my story. 'The Ocean Waif.'"

49 All night Ronald works on his new

             story.

50 "Hawkins, this is the best story I have

           ever written."

51 "The girl was as beautiful as a rose---"

52 "Advancing through the blackness he heard

             a scream---"

53 "He lifted the stone. There lay the skeletons

           of a dozen men---"

54*

 "He turned and beside him

stood a beautiful girl clad in

 the robes of long ago---"

55*

58 "Tell me about yourself. I am sure you're a

      prince and live in a castle."

59 "That is my fiancee. She is coming to

             see me."

60* Distraught by the news of

 Ronald's engagement,
   Millie runs away.

61 "Let me have a package. Same calibre as

               these."

               lives?"

68 "You aint afraid of me, are you?"

69 "Now you know as I aint your father. Suppose you and me goes and gets married."

70 "Why not?"

71 "That fellow Roberts will find mighty little

          to shoot around here."

72 "Your gun was just fired and you must have been right outside when Jessop was

               killed."

  and he is discharged."
