had also earned MS snare, WHICH
was quite sum.
HE had two children, boy and
a girl. When the girl was but nine
years old she was stolen by kid
nappers, who held her for a ran
sdn. The kidnappers sent him a
letter saying that if he put a GER
tain sum of money { | forget how
much 1t was) in a certain place and
at certain time, they would see
that he got his daughter back. Well,
the letter was delayed in coming,
and when Grfnard received it, the
date had passed two days before
Nevertheless, he put the money in
the place where the letter told him
to, thinking that they might still
be around. The next day he re-
turned and found the money still
untouched. He left the money
there for a week, and still no one
came for 1t, so he took it home. He
advertised in many papers for her
but never trace of her did he
find. Then one day he was called
to a nearby town by the detectives
that were on the hunt. They had
found hat in the Omaka river
that goes through Remington and
through Dillerton Chat is the town
that he had to go toy and also
pieces of dress that looked like
the description of the one that
Grinard gave the detectives when
they first started on to hunt for
her. Well, when Mr.. Thawley a.
rived in DillertOn he found the
dress and the hat to be the same
that his little girl had worn the
day that she was stolen That
was the only clue the ever found
and so they believed that she was
drowned, for they haven't heard of
her even to this day.
"Then when the son grew up he
was sent to college and took up nj
erary work. Soon after his college
education he fell in love with a
girl that he had met while visiting
with his cousin down south. He
sent her picture and letter to his !
father. asking for his consent to
marry her. His father wrote back,
his answer was No
well, then, the son married her
anyway and when Grinard heard of
it. it made him very angry In his |
wrath he wrote to his son and told /
him that he never wanted to see
him or his wife, ever. SO, he has
never heard of him since, for the /
young man never bothered his |
father after that.
Then Grinard's wife soon died
and about a month later, his father. |
He stayed in that house alone for
a year and then the doctor sent
him to Florida. for his health was
failing and he is still there"
But where does the haunted |
part come in" asked Agnes.
people say that sometimes
about midnight they have seen
Grinard's wife holding out her
arms for her little girl and so they
believe that the girl is still living,
for if she was dead she'd be right
up in heaven with her mother, and |,
then, you see, her mother wouldn't
have to hold out her arms long
ingly," said Moreno.
And believe it, too" said Betty.
"How old was her father when
his little girl was stolen, and how
old was the son when he was mar
ried?" asked Agnes.
Il think | heard father say that
he was fortysix and the boy was
twenty-five. The boy was only
three years older than his sister.
1t was about five years ago that
the son was married, so the father
is about sixty-one years DID," re-
piled Moreno.
What were the childrens
asked Betty.
Frances and Harlan" answered
Moreno.
ooh, wouldn't it be nice if the
girl wasn't dead and that somehow
hey would find each other and
hen the son be forgiven and they'd
all be 80 happy" suggested Betty.
But why doesn't Mr.. Thawley
'ent his homer" asked Agnes.
Because he doesn't want to-" l
