against the wall OF another room,
around a corner from where it Law,
and a cup which had had several
changes of location. Later the Spanish
girl, while working at the sink, sud
denly left the room complaining that
something had hit her in the side and
she was ready to quite the place and
60 home, and home she went. She had
had all the ghosts she could stand.
Father Reginald visited the house
last evening again and the entire days
doings We're recounted and with near
~ two hundred people from Punch
bowl crowding the yard and house the
place was lively enough for campaign
meeting
At this time many were beginning
to think that the girl had had a share
in the whole matter, and some intimat-
ed that she had tripped over the
benches and rocking chairs, thrown the
stones and dishes, overturned the pie
lures, and then some one in the crowd
would say:
Il saw that rocking chair move by
itself and then fall over, while the girl
was off at the other end of the porch,
and the skepticaI one subsidized. Then
not have done these things herself, yet
she must have medium 5 powers, ana
as long as she was in the house strange
things would happen. Away from it
the family would be peace Two hun
dred years ago such discussion would
have probably reached the extremes
which happened in old Salem.
And while skeptie and scoffe talk
ed, the head of the family was closeted
in a room with an old Hawaiian, said
to have the powers of a kahuna, who
said that the house was built over the
spot where a Hawiian was buried long
years ago. and that this spirit had re-
turned and finding new tangled things
which he had never known in his life
time he had got gay with them and
was having a good destructive time,
both to property and to nerves.
In the evening the police got into
the ghost-laying business, Sergeant
Aea. Detective Joe Leal and Mounted
Officer Machad0 being ready TO tackle
anything Tangible, although, not hav-
ing any silver bullets for their guns,
they looked nervous about tackling
ghost. If everything else fails it is
likely that Chief Kalakiela will proceed
to unwind the mystery today.
Away up a little lane near Luzo
street a reporter found the home Of the
Spanish girl. little house where she
and her mother lived. They found
pretty girl of thirteen years. although
she looked older. She had a bandage
about her head. but even this seemed
to add to her prettiness. She was Of
the true Andalusian type, with fine,
lustrous. and yet snappy, eyes She
spoke English br0kenly, but prettily.
~ don I know how these things
happen. - she said - have worked
for other people, but have no trouble
like this But here / work only four
day and such queer thing happen. l

Then she put on cross and throw
