shocked, but he could not discern
how much or in what way. Her first
words were peculiar, under the cir
cumstances. "How-how long has

The girl was already recovering

She was silent again. Then she
shrugged one shoulder. ooh, no,
you didn't. One simply assumes

it would be because somebody had
done him in. He was marked for
murder. There were times when |

"Are you talking that way be-

cause you're rocky ?"
Because it's the way talk. Can
you say offhand just what is
normal for this little meeting? Are
you acting normally-popping out

SYNOPSIS

"Aggie" is the familiar name for
DR.. Agamemnon T. Plum, "a, pro-
fessor and bachelor, whose Aunt
Sarah has dragooned him into COM
ing with her to Rainbow Lodge,
the family summer home at Indian
Stones. Upon arrival, Aggie found
Henry H. Bogarty's card impaled
by hunting knife on the front door
frame. Hank" had wired Sarah,
an old friend, suggesting "a new
grubstake. lin" Calder. brok-
er, called. After clash with Ag-
gle. he left. Old John, the family
butler, told Aggie that Calder had
lost lots of money for investors.
The knife, left on the porch rail, is
missing. Late that night. Aunt
Sarah became very i'll, and Aggie
motored to DR.. George G. Davis at
Medicine Lodge. The Doctors
daughter Danielle, escorted Asgie
10 her father who was working in
his Photographic dark room. DR..
Davis returned with ASgie. While
the former examined Sarah, Aggie
from the porch saw dog or fox.
Next morning, Aggie called on his
aunt, quarantined for humps. She
said that Calder's son, Bill (whose
marriage to Martha Drayton was
one of Sarah's natches) seemed
involved with Danielle, and she
tells Aggie to keep tabs on them.
She also reported that Jim Calder
did not return home last night. At
the club, Aggie meets its manager,
Jack Browne, boyhood playmate,
who described his family tragedy
and denounced Jim Calder. Then
he introduced Beth Calder and her
escort. Ralph Patton. Later Aggie
is "bawled out" by Bill Calder for
cutting in on phone conversation
between Bill and Danielle con-
corning a rendezvous at Garnet
Knob to which Sarah sends her en-
barrassed nephew. He hears Bill
say to Danielle: You'll make
trouble" Returning through the
woods, Aggie makes a CHASTITY dis
covery in a deadfall for bears.
Danielle comes up and he's just
told her: Jim Calder's in it-and
he's dead"

EOR one reason or another,
Scotland is a country that
seems to attract spooks. 1t
may be that the citizens of
the land of the bagpipe and
the heather are on the SUI
perstitious, as well as on the
frugal, side But for five
years now they have been
keeping a careful record of
visiting ghosts-on the
well-filled books Of the So
ciety for Recording of Alb
normal Happenings.
Just the other day the So
ciety heard from an old wo-
man living in an ancient
mansion on the outskirts of
the town of Kilsyth which,
generations ago, was the
home of a Scottish noble
man. Unless her aging eyes
deceived her, she has seen
something new in spooks--a
pretty young shade that
roamS around leading a
Russian wolfhound as misty,
unSubstantial and unearth-
ly as her beautiful and be-
witching self.
HNDD as it may seem to
~ you," the Kilsyth wo.
man wrote, II never have
been one to believe in spirits.
In fact, l have scoffed at
some of my neighbors who
have told Of catching Gimp
ses OF beings from the
Great Beyond.
But when a ghost girl
walks right through my
bedroom-and with one of
those ican, sad Russian dogs
as tra - Garent as herself
think lt's something that
your organization should
know about. The girl was
right pretty and she was
wearing the kind of dress
that ladies got themselves
up in in the Middle Ages"
The records of the Society
for Recording of Abnormal
Happenings have no other
dogs on their list of ghosts.

Coolidge Boy Sees
Fishing Boats Dock
At Ocean City, Md.
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
Bv Henry FankhauSer. l

Calvin Coolidge High School.
One OF the most interesting days
of my vacation at Ocean City, Md,
was spent, not on the beach, but on
Sinepuxent Bay, a little inlet.
1t was too cool for bathing that
morning, so my father suggested
that We go and see where the fish
ing boats and yachts were docked
People were fishing from the small
piers, and a couple of them had
right good luck. Founder and sea
bass were the main catch. While
watching the fishermen, I noticed
that a schooner was coming around
the curve at the mouth of the bay
1t had a blue flag on one of its
masts. I later learned this meant
that the boat had caught one Of
the large ocean fish.
When the boat was made fast,
saw two men carrying a fish tt
shore. 1t weighed rs pounds-the
largest fish have ever seen. except
in magazines. 1t was a blue marlin
and 1t took 25 minutes to hook ano
bring in. Some smaller fish called
dolphins also were caught. These
also grow to enormous sizes.
Somebody shouted that anothe,
boat was coming in with two blue
flags. When it finally docked,
saw that the fish were of the same
variety and weighed 40 pounds anc
56 pounds.
Later, another boat came in with
another marlin weighing 56 pounds
That was the last schooner to dock
SO there wasn't much excitement
after that. I spent most of the re.
naming afternoon catching min.

A week ago we spoke about star
clusters and took special note of the
Great Cluster in Hercules. Today
should like to speak of the con-
stellation of Orion.
Orion is one of the most beautiful
sights in the sky. In summer we
must stay up until late in the night
to see it. but in winter it appears
in the evening sky.
This constellation carries the
name of a figure in Greek myths, a
hunter named Orion. The name is
pronounced like Organ, and we are
told that an Irishman who heard
about it exclaimed, Il am glad this
beautiful constellation carries good
old Irish name!"
The Greeks used to say that Orion
was a man of giant size and that he
hunted in forests of the earth. The
goddess Artemis wanted to marry
him but was opposed by her brother
Apollo.
One day, the story says, Artemis
shot an arrow at an object in the
sea. She believed she was aiming
at floating log, or something oi
the sort, but 1t was Orion, who had
gone for a swim, and he was killed
by the arrow.
Filled with sorrow the goddess
went to Zeus and asked him to place
Orion In the sky, where she coulo
see him always. Her request was
granted.
Putting the fairy story aside, We
now have some real knowledge oi
this splendid group of stars. One oi
