34832Mrs. Deline? 34832 My, how did you accumulate so much luggage?"
34832Mystery?
34832Need any supplies today?
34832Not old Jake Skagway?
34832Now how did she get in there for a visit when I could n''t?
34832Now just where was it?
34832Now what do you say?
34832Now what?
34832Now where do you suppose she''s going?
34832Oh, ca n''t we stop somewhere?
34832Oh, you do n''t?
34832Or did you get it, Penny?
34832Or was it hidden in the next dune?
34832Otherwise, why did n''t she unpack everything?
34832Penny, what is this I hear?
34832Penny, why do n''t we ditch this camp stuff and try a hotel ourselves?
34832Picking up any signals?
34832Prisoners originally held in Canada?
34832Really?
34832Really?
34832Remember what I told you about taking observations? 34832 Sabotage?"
34832See that old fellow down the beach?
34832Settles what?
34832Shall I try to push again?
34832Shall we go for him?
34832So Jerry has nothing to do with it?
34832So the thief was a young man with a beard?
34832So you admit it?
34832So you think I''m lying, eh?
34832Such as?
34832Sure you did n''t imagine it? 34832 That so?"
34832The authorities have no idea who the man is, Dad?
34832The beachcomber?
34832The point is, when, if ever, are you coming back to camp?
34832The submarine?
34832Then Mr. McCoy really was the man responsible for those mysterious broadcasts-- the Voice from the Cave?
34832Then it really is something?
34832Then it was dropped on purpose?
34832Then no broadcast ever originated in a cave?
34832Then the lighthouse has n''t been investigated?
34832Then what are we waiting for?
34832Then what happened?
34832Then where can I meet you girls?
34832Then why do n''t you stay with me?
34832Then why does n''t he telephone? 34832 Then will you telephone to the Inn?
34832Then you believe Mrs. Deline is an Enemy Agent?
34832Then you have no interest in that hidden package?
34832They did n''t get away?
34832Think this is the place?
34832Think you can find the place to dig?
34832To the lighthouse?
34832Want to go for a drive into the country?
34832Want to help me carry it?
34832Want to listen to the radio awhile?
34832Was n''t our trip to the Crystal Cave a bust?
34832Well, should we take the time?
34832Were n''t you with her today? 34832 Were you expecting to eat all this food yourself?"
34832What about Dad? 34832 What about Jim McCoy at the lighthouse?"
34832What about supper?
34832What about the package in the sand?
34832What are those?
34832What are we having for breakfast?
34832What are we having, Penny?
34832What became of our marker?
34832What clues have you gained?
34832What did they learn, Jerry?
34832What do you expect to find here?
34832What do you say?
34832What does that escaped prisoner look like?
34832What happened to the Major?
34832What happened?
34832What is he doing?
34832What is it?
34832What is the purpose behind the broadcasts?
34832What is?
34832What of it, pet? 34832 What shall I order for you?"
34832What shall we do?
34832What station can it be?
34832What theory, Dad?
34832What time is it now?
34832What time is it?
34832What was that?
34832What was that?
34832What was the idea of that?
34832What will we say to the keeper?
34832What''s he doing here?
34832What''s our destination?
34832What''s our next move?
34832What''s so mysterious about him?
34832What''s that, Penny?
34832What''s that?
34832What''s that?
34832What''s that?
34832What''s that?
34832What''s the idea, camping here?
34832What''s the meaning of that?
34832What''s the other?
34832What''s the plan of action?
34832What''s the plan?
34832What''s to be done?
34832What''s up, Jerry?
34832What?
34832Where am I anyhow?
34832Where are you taking our car?
34832Where can it be located?
34832Where did you find the purse?
34832Where did you see Dad, Lou?
34832Where do you fit into the picture, Jerry? 34832 Where is the station thought to be located, Dad?"
34832Where''s Jerry?
34832Where''s the station located?
34832Where?
34832Where?
34832Who cares about a radio station?
34832Who cares for food?
34832Who cares that the_ Riverview Star_ missed the story? 34832 Who else?"
34832Who is he anyhow?
34832Who?
34832Why did Mr. Emory say he''d bear watching?
34832Why do n''t we get our hands on the jade green elephant? 34832 Why do you ask?"
34832Why do you dislike Mrs. Deline so intensely?
34832Why do you sit there and stare at me?
34832Why else would she take the keys?
34832Why is she doing that?
34832Why is the man so eager to know me?
34832Why not call this whole thing off?
34832Why not tell me all about it?
34832Why not think up one and stick to it?
34832Why not try it with us?
34832Why not wait up and see?
34832Why not? 34832 Why not?"
34832Why not?
34832Why should I?
34832Why should I?
34832Why should Mrs. Deline expect to meet anyone there?
34832Why should he deny it?
34832Why, Dad, would you borrow another person''s car without asking?
34832Why, Jerry, would n''t that be playing right into their hands? 34832 Why, whatever made you think that?"
34832Will she be allowed complete freedom?
34832Will you be staying long at Sunset Beach?
34832Will you kindly worry about your own affairs?
34832Wo n''t it be detected by the patrol planes?
34832Wonder what a single sub was doing so close here?
34832Wonder what became of Jerry and Dad?
34832Wonder when our relief is to show up?
34832Wonder when your father will get here?
34832Wonder why he does n''t come back?
34832Wonder why she goes there so often?
34832Would n''t you like to come with us?
34832Yes, Dad, what is it?
34832Yes, want to ride along?
34832Yes, what about him?
34832Yes?
34832You did n''t by chance see them after we left the dining room?
34832You did n''t think we could come out here and prowl around without questions being asked? 34832 You do n''t deny that you came here largely because of your interest in that station?"
34832You do n''t think it''s anything?
34832You do n''t think that she went back there and dug it up herself?
34832You do?
34832You have no idea who the man may be?
34832You have to protect your beauty?
34832You have?
34832You mean--she stammered,"You mean that Dad''s been acting a part?
34832You remember where it was buried?
34832You saw me?
34832You sent for Jerry to help you?
34832You think she may have hidden something there expecting another person to pick it up?
34832You thought she signaled from the window?
34832You would n''t want to move to the hotel so you''d see more of him?
34832You''d be willing to forego the mystery?
34832You''re driving to Sunset Beach?
34832You''ve had your equipment set up here two days now?
34832All set for adventure?"
34832All this food for one person?"
34832And alone?"
34832And why should she hide anything here on the beach?"
34832Any luck in finding it?"
34832Any news about the radio station?"
34832Are we ready to start?"
34832As I must be gone so much of the time, why would n''t it be better for us to move to the hotel?"
34832But what''s all this about a code?
34832But when you''ve not seen your one and only girl for going on a year--""Your which?"
34832But why should Mrs. Deline be interested in a common tramp?"
34832But why would he come here?"
34832By the way, did he know you were coming?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Deline?"
34832Did Dad send for you?"
34832Did you ever see Mrs. Deline with George Emory?"
34832Do you know that the road is being watched?"
34832Do you mind looking at it?"
34832Do you say I should tell him right away, Jerry?"
34832Do you think Mrs. Deline has been aiding that flier who escaped from a Canadian prison camp?"
34832Furthermore, how do I know she was telling the truth?
34832Have you been there?"
34832Have you had any fires this season?"
34832How could he keep it from me?"
34832How did we ever get into such a mess?"
34832How did you stumble onto it?"
34832How''s camping?"
34832I wonder if that gruff old keeper will drive her away as he did me?"
34832If Mrs. Deline had information to communicate would n''t she send it to her superiors?
34832If Mrs. Deline is allowed inside the tower, should n''t we have the same privileges?"
34832In the first place, did n''t she get Dad to bring her with us to Sunset Beach?"
34832Interested in caves?"
34832Is it much farther?"
34832Is n''t it done by an echo chamber or something of the sort?"
34832Jerry, will you promise to help me try to save Dad from her clutches?"
34832Jerry--""Yes?"
34832Let''s see if the package is still here?"
34832No harm in that, is there?"
34832Now what do you see on the hour of two?"
34832Now, using that same system can you recall anything more about the place where Mrs. Deline buried the package?"
34832Or can we?"
34832Or to a garage?"
34832Pretending to admire Mrs. Deline while actually he did n''t?"
34832Right?"
34832Should n''t I warn him?"
34832Should n''t we destroy these things?"
34832Think we could get Mrs. Deline to go bathing in the surf with us?"
34832Think you can arrange it?"
34832Want to go for a ride?"
34832Want to help me tonight?"
34832Was the package buried deep?"
34832What else could delay him?"
34832What''s she doing now?"
34832What''s this?"
34832Where do you suppose Mrs. Deline keeps herself?"
34832Who''s she?"
34832Why all the secrecy, I wonder?"
34832Why did n''t you report to the police?"
34832Why do n''t we try to like Mrs. Deline, Penny?"
34832Why do you ask?"
34832Why do you think she did it?"
34832Why do you worry about her so much, Penny?"
34832Why not send for Louise Sidell?
34832Wonder what he''s to call Major Gregg about?"
34591A feeling of impending trouble?
34591A friend of yours?
34591A little spit- fire, are n''t you?
34591A scoop for the_ Star_?
34591A sign of what?
34591A silk ladder?
34591Agent?
34591Alone?
34591And Al Gepper?
34591And from there?
34591And how was the paint made to appear wet?
34591And stay here with us?
34591And what business is it of yours?
34591And what did they find? 34591 And what is that?"
34591And what was the man''s name?
34591And who are you to speak for her?
34591And you did n''t?
34591Any news in the old scandal sheet?
34591Any news?
34591Any other theories?
34591Anything I can do for you?
34591Are n''t you afraid a monkey may jump out of that cabinet?
34591Are those idle words, Dad? 34591 Are we putting out an extra?"
34591Are you an agent?
34591Are you hurt?
34591Are you sure this is the place?
34591Are you there, David?
34591At this time of night?
34591Before we leave, shall we take a look at the alley?
34591But how can I be certain that the message came from Cousin David?
34591But how did he descend so quickly? 34591 But how did he escape so quickly?"
34591But how did you know--?
34591But if that is so, why do n''t police close up the place?
34591But what can it be?
34591But why was Mrs. Weems advised to invest her money with one of them? 34591 But will it run?"
34591But_ what_ is it?
34591By the way, whatever became of Lena?
34591By the way, you have your car downstairs?
34591Ca n''t it be obtained?
34591Ca n''t we contact him again?
34591Can you blame him? 34591 Can you get me down from this pigeon roost?"
34591Could he be arrested without involving the Hodges?
34591Could he have used sharp, steel pins held between his fingers?
34591Could it have been a tree bough brushing against the wall?
34591Could n''t he have recognized them?
34591Could n''t you call up another Spirit by using my pin or Pa''s watch?
34591Dad, do you mind steering Lena?
34591Dad, even if the police do give up, we wo n''t, will we?
34591Dad,Penny said thoughtfully,"you do n''t suppose there''s any chance it was n''t trickery?"
34591David, have you a message for us?
34591Detective?
34591Did n''t you push the ouija board?
34591Did the man ask you many questions about your cousin?
34591Did the picture closely resemble your cousin?
34591Did you learn anything?
34591Do I?
34591Do n''t you agree with Dad and me that he was after your money?
34591Do n''t you agree, Penny?
34591Do you consider it safe to keep such a large sum?
34591Do you know what this means, Penny?
34591Do you realize it''s nearly four o''clock? 34591 Do you sell it for a special purpose?"
34591Do you suppose Jenny could be right?
34591Does he have one?
34591Does n''t Mr. Kohl live on this street?
34591Does n''t this cabinet indicate it?
34591Does the time and date have special significance?
34591Figurin''on blowing?
34591Flora, where are you? 34591 For instance?"
34591Gepper does n''t know she inherited six thousand dollars?
34591Gettin''sort of jittery, ai n''t you?
34591Going to a fire?
34591Goodness, what time is it anyway?
34591Gray?
34591Guess what? 34591 Have I made another error in spelling?"
34591Have n''t I seen you somewhere before?
34591Have n''t you an assignment for me, Dad?
34591Have n''t you called the police?
34591Have you a message for me?
34591Have you a message for us?
34591Have you lost your mind?
34591He''ll renew the old contract?
34591Hello, Miss Hilderman?
34591His apparatus?
34591Housecleaning?
34591How about Al Gepper?
34591How about Kano''s Curio Shop?
34591How about a little adventure?
34591How about assigning me to it after I get this society job in hand?
34591How about my pictures?
34591How can Mrs. Weems''inheritance have anything to do with a psychic sign?
34591How can it be illegal to rent Mr. Gepper these rooms?
34591How can you accuse him of being a fraud after you saw his marvelous demonstration? 34591 How can you be taken in by his smooth line?
34591How could I know that her father was a newspaper publisher? 34591 How could he have faked Cousin David''s message?
34591How could it have been? 34591 How could you have seen him, Penny?
34591How do you like that, Dad?
34591How do you like your new job?
34591How do you suppose they made things jump around as if they were alive?
34591How high would you estimate the loss?
34591How many persons knew where you had secreted the money?
34591How much can you raise?
34591How much does the telegram say, Dad?
34591How will I get Lena home? 34591 How will I pay?"
34591I mean about Cousin David and the inheritance?
34591I met one ghost- maker-- Osandra-- remember him?
34591I should advise returning it to the bank, or better still, why not invest it in sound securities?
34591I suppose you foresaw the future when you made your brilliant purchase?
34591I wonder how?
34591I wonder if he ever has charged for his sà © ances?
34591I wonder if it might not be a good idea to break the news by easy stages? 34591 If I am not mistaken, Madam, you wrote,''Is the spirit of my cousin in this room?''"
34591Is Dad having a conference?
34591Is Mr. Henley here?
34591Is anything the matter, Dad?
34591Is he with you, Miss Parker?
34591Is it Penelope?
34591Is it possible to see him?
34591Is my stuff that bad?
34591Is n''t that illegal?
34591Is n''t that rather odd?
34591Is there nothing which will move you to generosity?
34591It''s merely a short- cut to another street, is n''t it? 34591 It''s modern magic, is n''t it, Dad?"
34591Learn anything?
34591Lou, did you notice how funny he acted when we came in here?
34591Lou, what purpose do you suppose silk ladders serve? 34591 Lou, why did you discourage her?"
34591Lou,she asked abruptly,"do you mind going home alone?"
34591May I ask how much I owe the garageman?
34591May I ask if that same method was used in regard to Mrs. Weem''s picture of Cousin David?
34591May I ask what use is made of this silk rope?
34591May I have Al Gepper for my particular fish bait?
34591May I speak with you?
34591May we use your telephone if you have one?
34591Meaning--?
34591More to go?
34591Mr. Gepper, do you truly believe it is possible to communicate with the spiritual world?
34591Mr. Kohl-- the banker?
34591Mr. and Mrs. Kohl are n''t home yet?
34591Mrs. Hodges, to what purpose does your young man expect to put this studio?
34591Mrs. Weems, are you willing to help get evidence against him?
34591Mrs. Weems, do n''t you think it''s risky keeping so much money here?
34591Mrs. Weems,she cried,"did you ever get it back?
34591No ladder?
34591No message from Cousin David?
34591No?
34591Now I wonder who called? 34591 Now do you doubt me?"
34591Now how_ did_ he do it?
34591Now if you are quite satisfied, shall we begin?
34591Now that we have three cars, and a double garage, where do you propose to keep Lena?
34591Now what have you thought up?
34591Now what?
34591Now where did he go?
34591Now why did he climb up there?
34591Now, how should I know? 34591 Oh, Penny, why did you do it?"
34591Oh, dear, now what shall I do?
34591Oh, have you taken one?
34591Oh, what does he say?
34591Oh, you have?
34591Or Mrs. Henley? 34591 Or would you rather keep the car as a deposit?"
34591Others will be assigned to the case?
34591Otherwise, why does n''t she answer?
34591Penny, how could you torture me by letting me think the money was stolen?
34591Penny, what will your father say when he learns of this?
34591Penny, what''s this all about?
34591Penny, you actually saw all this?
34591Please, Dad, may I?
34591Proof?
34591Rather high- handed were n''t you?
34591Say, have you gone loco?
34591Say, what''s coming off here?
34591Shall I take off the brakes?
34591Shall we get to bed now? 34591 Shall we go, Mrs. Weems?
34591Slippery was n''t here?
34591So you would like to know what became of your friend, Slippery?
34591So you''re holding me up?
34591Someone calling for help?
34591Squander it?
34591Surely you do n''t agree with Penny?
34591Surely you do n''t believe in ghosts...?
34591Telegram? 34591 The house has n''t been robbed?"
34591The man for whom you made the ladder?
34591The raid was a failure?
34591The robbery occurred while you were away?
34591The_ Star''s_ Sugar Daddy?
34591Then my guess was right?
34591Then why did he slip down the alley?
34591Then why do n''t they, Penny?
34591Then you know about the place?
34591Then you think he may be connected with the Temple, Penny?
34591This do- dad is supposed to spell out messages, ai n''t it?
34591This is where Mrs. Weems resides, I believe?
34591Trouble with the old allowance again?
34591Was he the one?
34591Well, sister, what''s on your mind?
34591Well, sister?
34591Were his hands held high above it, Penny?
34591Were n''t you here on guard all evening?
34591Were you convinced, or do you still think that you can show up Al Gepper?
34591What are the meetings like, Jerry?
34591What are you doing in this part of town?
34591What can I do, Dad?
34591What can any of us know of the spirit world?
34591What could you do with this old car when you already have a new one?
34591What day was that?
34591What did the letter say?
34591What do you know about this burglary? 34591 What do you think about him now?"
34591What does it suggest to you?
34591What else has happened of a supernatural nature?
34591What happened at the sà © ance?
34591What has the letter to do with it?
34591What is he, a chemist?
34591What is it?
34591What night did you have the dream?
34591What picture, Penny?
34591What shall we do about the box in the tower?
34591What sort of a mood is Dad in today?
34591What sort of society is the Order of Amar?
34591What time did you get here?
34591What time was that?
34591What was that?
34591What was that?
34591What were you going to say?
34591What will the neighbors say?
34591What will you do with all your money?
34591What will you do with the money?
34591What would you do with that old wreck now, Penny? 34591 What''s that?"
34591What''s the idea of ringing that bell?
34591What''s this about a new roomer?
34591What''s this?
34591What''s this?
34591What''s wrong now, DeWitt?
34591What''s wrong, Penny?
34591What''s your hurry?
34591What''s your name anyhow?
34591What''s your rush?
34591What_ will_ you give?
34591When did it happen? 34591 When did it happen?"
34591When did it happen?
34591When will she be home?
34591Where are we going?
34591Where are you taking me?
34591Where did you get that ladder?
34591Where did you hide it, Penny? 34591 Where do we start?"
34591Where is he going?
34591Where will you wear it?
34591Where''s Pete?
34591Where?
34591Who''s there?
34591Who?
34591Why are spirits so timid?
34591Why did n''t you summon the janitor?
34591Why do n''t the police arrest him?
34591Why do n''t you start a campaign, Dad?
34591Why do n''t you try to reach her again?
34591Why do n''t you write an editorial about it?
34591Why do you act so outrageously?
34591Why do you think so, Penny?
34591Why do you think so?
34591Why does n''t the_ Star_ run an exposà © story?
34591Why dwell in the past, Lou? 34591 Why not?"
34591Why not?
34591Why remind me of that man, Penny?
34591Why should I?
34591Why, Dad?
34591Why, what is wrong?
34591Will I?
34591Will we be home by ten o''clock? 34591 Will you notify the police?"
34591Will you stay with me?
34591Worried about me? 34591 Would acrobats use them, do you think?"
34591Yes?
34591Yet the mediums continue to fleece the public?
34591You admit that you''re a medium?
34591You are satisfied that I have not read the message?
34591You did n''t let anyone into the apartment building tonight?
34591You do n''t think there''s any mistake, Mr. Parker? 34591 You expect to attend the sà © ance?"
34591You expect to use these rooms for public sà © ances?
34591You have lost a loved one recently?
34591You have no proof of it?
34591You have?
34591You here, Slippery?
34591You mean I''ll be able to see him?
34591You mean he threatened her?
34591You mean that man who entered the Temple and then left so suddenly?
34591You mean tonight?
34591You remember me, I believe?
34591You remember that when the Kohls were robbed the police could n''t figure out how the burglar gained entrance?
34591You say, too, that the banjo was high overhead when it played?
34591You see that young man yonder?
34591You see what?
34591You see?
34591You surely do n''t think it just happened by_ accident_?
34591You''re all right?
34591You''re not packing your things already?
34591You''ve done_ what_?
34591Your name, please?
34591Am I hired?"
34591And what became of the ladder?
34591And what do you plan to do with two cars?"
34591Anyone here?"
34591Are you sure it''s safe?"
34591Bailey?"
34591But how did he learn the houses were deserted?
34591But what made it rise into the air, and how could it play without the aid of human hands?"
34591By telephoning?"
34591CHAPTER 7_ MARK OF THE IRON HOOK_"What do you think of it?"
34591Ca n''t you think of something?"
34591Can you not show yourself that we may know it is truly your spirit which communicates with us?"
34591Could n''t it mean that the crooks, whoever they were, telephoned the apartment to make certain it was deserted before breaking in?"
34591DeWitt?"
34591Did you notice two small suction cups which were taken from his pockets by the police?"
34591Do n''t you realize we''ve got to work together or we''ll be jailed separately?
34591Do you know what I think?
34591Do you mind explaining?"
34591Do you think the police will blame me for the robbery?"
34591Even so, how was it painted so quickly?"
34591Has anything gone wrong here?"
34591Has he accepted money for the sà © ances he conducts there?"
34591Have you a ouija board in the house?"
34591Hodges?"
34591How about it, Dad?"
34591How could Mrs. Hodges have psychic powers?
34591How could he have obtained the name and address?"
34591How could such a ladder be raised to the window ledge?
34591How could your man have obtained Kohl''s name and address from the license number?"
34591How did you get Slippery''s ladder?"
34591How did you get up there?"
34591How did you know?"
34591How much did he leave you?"
34591How much did you pay for it?"
34591How much has she learned?"
34591How was he able to raise a table and read a message in a sealed envelope?"
34591How would you guess he lifted the table?"
34591I ask you, what''s the good of having a weekly allowance when you never get to use it yourself?"
34591I do all the dangerous work, and what do I get?
34591I hope you''re not falling under this fellow''s spell?"
34591Is Maud here?"
34591Is Mrs. Weems still here?"
34591Is n''t it a law that a father has to support his child?"
34591Is n''t it in the realm of possibility that Mrs. Hodges may have had a message from Cousin David?"
34591Is n''t that so, Dad?"
34591Is n''t that true?"
34591Is n''t the news of her inheritance wonderful, Penelope?"
34591Just what_ will_ your father say?"
34591May I ask what you find of such interest in this alley?"
34591May I interest you in a car?"
34591Now let me ask this: Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
34591Oh, what will the Kohls say when they learn about it?"
34591One for me, you mean?"
34591Or are you willing to back them in a material way?"
34591Parker?"
34591Penny, could n''t Gepper have painted the picture himself in the darkness?"
34591Penny, you saw the man plainly?"
34591Remember the Kippenberg wedding I covered?"
34591Shall we make it fifty a week?"
34591Shall we set a definite date-- say tomorrow at two o''clock?"
34591Shall we try to reach Cousin David again?"
34591Suppose you''re robbed on the way downtown?"
34591That they distrusted each other was evident, but why had the woman feared Slippery might break into the bell tower during the guard''s absence?
34591The iron hooks would serve her purpose, but dared she try it?
34591The meetings are open to the public, are n''t they?
34591The question is, what shall we do with her?"
34591Then Penny heard him say:"Oh, it''s you, Mrs. Weems?
34591Tired?"
34591Understand?"
34591Understand?"
34591Want to drive past there?"
34591Was it not possible that he might return there before leaving Riverview?
34591Was n''t the message written on a pad of paper before it was placed in the envelope?"
34591Was some intruder hidden in that room?
34591We take most of the risk, plan all the big jobs, so why should n''t we have more?"
34591Weems?"
34591Weems?"
34591Weems?"
34591Weems?"
34591What have you done this time?"
34591What purpose could it serve?"
34591What''s that?
34591What''s this about a traveling outfit?"
34591When there came a lull in the excited flow of words, she said quietly:"Mr. Bailey, do you mind answering a few questions?"
34591Where are you taking yourself?"
34591Who are you, girlie?"
34591Who but he or an accomplice could have known where the money was hidden?"
34591Who can know about The Life Beyond?
34591Who uses them and why?"
34591Why are you convinced that Mr. Gepper is a medium?"
34591Why not promise to stay with us instead of going away on a trip?"
34591Why?"
34591Will that be okay?"
34591Will you please come inside and close the door?"
34591Will you, Penelope?"
34591Would n''t you think a policeman could find something else to do?"
34591You are dumbfounded, my little one?"
34591You did n''t see the man note down the plates of other cars?"
34591You have someone to take her place?"
34591You read in the paper that their home was entered?"
34591You think Penny should write the story?"
34591You would not like that, I take it?"
34591You''re quite sure you locked the suite door?"
34591_ 200_ CHAPTER 1_ DOUBLE TROUBLE_"Now I ask you, Lou, what have I done to deserve such a fate?"
34850A hard day at the office?
34850About what, Ben?
34850Actually?
34850And DeWitt assigned you to this story?
34850And where is he now?
34850And why not stop at the Safety building and ask Ben Bartell to go with us? 34850 And why were you pushed overboard?"
34850And you claim you actually can explode mines with this machine?
34850And you think I am not what the doctor ordered?
34850Another hard day?
34850Any Army officers?
34850Any due at this time?
34850Any freight trains?
34850Any further adventures?
34850Any news from Jerry?
34850Any news this morning?
34850Any other ideas?
34850Anyone aboard?
34850Anyone here?
34850Anyone killed?
34850Anything else in the suitcase?
34850Anything taken?
34850Anything wrong?
34850Anything you want to say before we lock you up?
34850Are n''t you Professor Bettenridge?
34850Are you accusing me of stealing a camera?
34850Are you all right?
34850Are you all right?
34850Are you certain anyone came through the skylight?
34850Are you coo- coo?
34850Are you going to another fire?
34850Are you hurt?
34850Are you sure that was why he discharged you?
34850Are you willing to sign charges and appear against the man?
34850As for those undeveloped plates, can you get them right away?
34850As queen of the dustmop brigade?
34850At the Gables Hotel?
34850Because he got into a fist fight with Jason Cordell?
34850Ben, have n''t you any friends or relatives?
34850Ben, how long has it been since you''ve had a real meal?
34850Ben, what has happened to you?
34850Ben, what''s happening there?
34850Ben, why not report to police?
34850Ben? 34850 But how can they make the mine explode at exactly the right moment?"
34850But how could it have been Webb?
34850But how did the car happen to be in Riverview?
34850But how will we catch the edition with your pictures?
34850But what about Johnson?
34850But what can_ I_ do about it?
34850But what did he do?
34850But what if the machine actually should work? 34850 But what was the fellow after?"
34850But what?
34850But who was behind the plot?
34850But who would sneak in here and for what reason?
34850But why do you want me to do it? 34850 But why?"
34850But why?
34850By whom?
34850Ca n''t you get in touch with him?
34850Can we get into the shack?
34850Can you drive here right away?
34850Can you duplicate Mr. Johnson''s initials on another mine?
34850Can you get away from the office early?
34850Can you get hold of the Major and bring him with you?
34850Can you tell me if a Professor Bettenridge has called here in the last few days?
34850Could anyone have come in here through that skylight?
34850Could n''t you get the name of the owner?
34850Dad, are you there?
34850Dad, ca n''t we go there too?
34850Dad, how did you get here so quickly?
34850Did I say I did?
34850Did n''t Dad tell you I started to work for the_ Star_ today?
34850Did n''t I hear you call out?
34850Did the skylight open?
34850Did they change their minds?
34850Did you really do something dreadful?
34850Did you search the roof?
34850Did you try my father''s paper, the_ Star_?
34850Did you try to find him at the_ Snark_?
34850Do n''t you remember me?
34850Do you girls live near here?
34850Do you have anything valuable in the darkroom?
34850Do you know what causes bends?
34850Do you realize that mines are very expensive? 34850 Do you really feel like going?"
34850Do you still believe the man is the one who was pushed off the_ Snark_?
34850Do you suppose it could be anyone from the adjoining building, Salt?
34850Do you think we should report the professor to the police, Dad?
34850Elda, why do you dislike me?
34850Even if you did see a shadow, what of it?
34850Even so, why should he refuse to answer questions?
34850Everything locked?
34850Exactly what do you mean?
34850Forging?
34850Get any good pictures?
34850Handouts?
34850Has anything been taken, I wonder?
34850Have you given the man any money?
34850Have you had your dinner?
34850Have you heard of a boat called the_ Snark_?
34850How about hiring me?
34850How about the skylight?
34850How about the story of Mr. Cordell''s arrest? 34850 How come,"he observed,"that if this invention is so remarkable, the Navy has n''t already snapped it up?"
34850How did Professor Bettenridge meet Webb? 34850 How did the person get in?"
34850How did you get aboard?
34850How does it operate?
34850How is it done?
34850How long will it take you to develop those plates?
34850How long will it take?
34850How many killed and injured?
34850How shall we explain to the professor?
34850How soon can we have it ahead of the test?
34850How would the staff take it?
34850I considered it, but what good would it do?
34850I suppose the Navy men are in town now?
34850I suppose you think my machine wo n''t work?
34850I was thinking--Penny sat down in a rickety chair,"--couldn''t you do free lance work?
34850I wonder what''s inside the satchel?
34850I wonder why? 34850 I wonder why?
34850I wonder--?
34850If it will do all he claims, why has n''t the government taken it over before this?
34850If the mine is to be exploded tonight, would n''t it be easier to leave it on the barge ready to drop into the lake?
34850Impossible?
34850In a car?
34850Indeed? 34850 Indeed?
34850Is Webb Nelson here?
34850Is anything wrong with it?
34850Is anything wrong?
34850Is he here?
34850Is it a date?
34850Is it damaged in any way?
34850Is n''t it possible you were mistaken in the automobile?
34850Is that it, Ben?
34850Is that you, Salt?
34850Is there anyone here who doubts the remarkable possibilities of my invention?
34850Jason Cordell of the_ Mirror_?
34850Jason Cordell?
34850Just how do you propose to fix Mr. Johnson''s mine?
34850Know anyone aboard the_ Snark?_"No.
34850Leaving early, are n''t you?
34850Looking for termites?
34850Lou, how is that building lighted?
34850May I see it a moment?
34850May I see your draft card?
34850Meaning?
34850Must we wait so long before setting off the mine?
34850Naturally you knew that the professor''s machine was worthless?
34850Not me?
34850Notify the police?
34850Now are you satisfied?
34850Now did you know any of the men who attacked you?
34850Now how should I know?
34850Now what do we do?
34850Now what is he doing in there?
34850Now what''s our move?
34850Now what''s your little game?
34850Now what?
34850Now what?
34850Now will you go away, and let me sleep?
34850Now, even though it is late, suppose we go and celebrate?
34850Oh, may we?
34850Oh, so I''m silly, am I?
34850Oh, you will, eh?
34850Or have they all been made with those supplied by the professor?
34850Pass me the thermos, will you please?
34850Please, may I use your telephone?
34850Salt, what did Ben do, that caused him to be blacklisted with all the newspapers?
34850Say, what is this?
34850Scared?
34850Shall we cut the boat loose?
34850Shall we go?
34850Shall we stop there?
34850Shall we tell Mr. Johnson what we just saw?
34850Shall we try to find out?
34850Shorts?
34850Show Penny the ropes, will you?
34850So you do n''t want to see your father?
34850So you doubt my honesty?
34850Some of the reporters might not like it,Mr. DeWitt admitted,"but who''s running this paper anyhow?"
34850Someone told you of his experiments at the lake?
34850Speaking of Ben, what''s to be done about him, Dad?
34850Suppose we set the next test for Thursday night at this same hour?
34850That so? 34850 The Navy is interested in buying your machine?"
34850The mines are all kept in that shack on the beach?
34850The professor and his wife?
34850The professor''s helper? 34850 Then how did you get into the water?"
34850Then it was a grudge matter?
34850Then surely you should not object to one further test?
34850Then what were you doing there?
34850Then why does n''t your father give him a job on the_ Star_?
34850Then why not give us a land demonstration?
34850Then why not hire Ben Bartell?
34850Then you do know the persons involved?
34850Then you knew Nelson was mixed up in the dynamiting?
34850Then you think he was a saboteur?
34850Then you''ll not consider hiring Ben?
34850To the_ Snark_?
34850Tonight?
34850Was I?
34850Was Webb Nelson involved in the plot?
34850Was he a hard drinker?
34850Was he interested in buying the machine for the Army, Dad?
34850Was it because you thought I was making more money than you, that you changed the name on the Borman obituary?
34850We''re all here, so why not go ahead? 34850 We''ve got to delay the test, but how?"
34850Webb?
34850Webb?
34850Well, how is your patient this morning?
34850Well?
34850What about him?
34850What about it, Penny?
34850What about the personnel problem?
34850What about the skylight?
34850What ails you, Elda?
34850What are we going to do? 34850 What are you doing here, Penny?"
34850What are you doing up there?
34850What are you going to do, Penny?
34850What are you two smirking about?
34850What became of the pictures?
34850What bothers me is how did the mistake happen?
34850What caused the mine to explode?
34850What day are services to be held?
34850What did the men hope to gain by dynamiting the plant?
34850What did you learn, Ben?
34850What do you make of all that?
34850What do you make of it?
34850What do you mean, Ben?
34850What do you want to know?
34850What does this mean?
34850What does this prove?
34850What else?
34850What gave you that idea, Penny?
34850What happened?
34850What happened?
34850What happened?
34850What if we should be caught?
34850What is going on here tonight, may I ask?
34850What is he doing, Salt?
34850What is it, Salt?
34850What is the meaning of this?
34850What job was that?
34850What luck you having?
34850What makes you think so, kitten?
34850What makes you think so?
34850What ought I to do, Salt?
34850What set off the explosion?
34850What sort of invention is it?
34850What sort of shadow?
34850What was that?
34850What will happen now?
34850What would he be doing here?
34850What you doing here?
34850What''d he say?
34850What''s he carrying?
34850What''s on your mind, DeWitt?
34850What''s our move?
34850What''s the plan now?
34850What''s up?
34850When do I start?
34850Where are the guards?
34850Where did you get that name?
34850Where did you meet Webb Nelson?
34850Where did you obtain your mines?
34850Where is Ben now?
34850Where is Dad?
34850Where is Major Bryan now, Dad?
34850Where is the machine kept? 34850 Where is the nearest decompression chamber?"
34850Where shall we go?
34850Where were you on the night of the 16th?
34850Where?
34850Which car?
34850Which is my mine?
34850Which is the right one?
34850Which way did Webb go?
34850Who are the survivors? 34850 Who are you?"
34850Who are you?
34850Who did this to you?
34850Who is Ben Bartell?
34850Who is the leader?
34850Who owns her?
34850Who pulled the job?
34850Who pushed you overboard?
34850Who was he?
34850Who was it?
34850Who were the men that tied you up?
34850Who would n''t be? 34850 Why all the mystery?
34850Why did you scream?
34850Why did you take the watch when it did n''t belong to you?
34850Why do n''t I talk to Jason Cordell, the_ Mirror_ editor, about Ben?
34850Why do n''t they come?
34850Why do n''t we explode the mine now?
34850Why do n''t you ask them to show you the invention? 34850 Why do you suppose he''s at his office so late tonight?"
34850Why does n''t he wave the lantern?
34850Why not amble up the hill and watch the professor perform?
34850Why not pretend we''re here to get a feature story for the_ Star_?
34850Why not see what we can learn?
34850Why not, pray?
34850Why not?
34850Why not?
34850Why should our car contain a camera? 34850 Why the rush?"
34850Why were you pushed off the_ Snark_?
34850Why were you really discharged, Ben?
34850Why were you trying to avoid me?
34850Why, may I ask? 34850 Why?"
34850Why?
34850Will Cordell manage to get free?
34850Will he be all right now?
34850Will he come out of it all right?
34850Will the_ Star_ print them tomorrow?
34850Will there be any more explosions?
34850Will you explode a mine for us now?
34850Will you tell me your name?
34850Will your machine explode mines on land as well as in the water?
34850Without a typewriter? 34850 Wonder if anyone will be here?"
34850Wonder what he was doing here?
34850Working late?
34850Would n''t I be a help to you if I were on the staff?
34850You are employed by a newspaper?
34850You believe it actually will explode mines?
34850You deliberately tried to queer my sale? 34850 You did n''t publish it?"
34850You have a room?
34850You mean I would have to come back here later on?
34850You mean the explosion was not touched off by Professor Bettenridge''s invention?
34850You really think that is best?
34850You say you know this man and his family?
34850You used to work for him, did n''t you?
34850You want me to go over there, Chief?
34850You what?
34850You work aboard the_ Snark_?
34850You wrote this story?
34850You''re a friend of Mr. Cordell''s, are n''t you?
34850You''re sure it''s the same auto?
34850You''re sure of that?
34850You''re the publisher''s daughter, are n''t you?
34850You''ve found work?
34850Your camera--"It was smashed?
34850And the picture?"
34850Anything wrong?"
34850Are n''t you the girl who saved my life?"
34850Are you in need of a good male reporter?"
34850Are you sure you saw the signal?
34850As she turned to leave, she asked Salt carelessly:"By the way, did you know Ben Bartell?"
34850But could a prowler reverse the process?
34850But could she make good?
34850But how could a light ray machine explode mines that were under water?
34850CHAPTER 13_ BEHIND OFFICE DOORS_"Are you hurt, Penny?"
34850CHAPTER 24_ A RAID ON THE_ SNARK"Oh, why did n''t Mr. McClusky call the police instead?"
34850Ca n''t the skylight be locked?"
34850Calling the photography room, DeWitt demanded:"Is Salt Sommers still there?
34850Can you meet me here at seven o''clock?"
34850Can you pull off the job without any blunder?"
34850Cordell?"
34850Cordell?"
34850Cordell?"
34850Could Webb and Cordell be friends?
34850Could his call there have any hidden significance?
34850Did n''t you change it on the first sheet?"
34850Did n''t you notice how startled the Bettenridges were when their star customer appeared?"
34850Did you see me push him out of the boxcar?"
34850Do n''t you ever consult the city directory?"
34850Does the professor come from Silbus City?"
34850Finally he looked straight at her, demanding:"Well?"
34850Glancing significantly at his wife, he said:"My dear, will you go to the house and get the card for our inquisitors?"
34850Grab ourselves something to eat?"
34850He sent you here, I suppose?"
34850How am I to be sure that the one exploded will be the mine I have provided?"
34850How do you feel?"
34850How much is it worth to you to keep out of my affairs?"
34850How much money does a beginner get?"
34850I have three weeks school vacation coming up, so why not strike a bargain?"
34850In your house?"
34850Is anything wrong?"
34850Is he a friend of yours?"
34850Is that lad a scrapper?
34850Is that understood?"
34850Is there more to this little escapade than meets the eye?"
34850Johnson?"
34850Johnson?"
34850Now what is it you want to know, Penny?
34850Now what shall we do until nine o''clock?
34850Or do n''t you want to tell me what happened at the_ Mirror_?"
34850Or was this merely a business call?
34850Penny, how are you at forging?"
34850Remember the license number?"
34850Reporting is all you''ve ever done, is n''t it?"
34850So how could Professor Bettenridge have an appointment here tonight?
34850The question is, can we do it?"
34850The truth is-- well--""You have n''t the price of a dinner?"
34850Then he said quietly:"Why should I want to see any of my old friends now?
34850Turning abruptly to Mr. Parker he asked:"Why not, Chief?
34850Was it possible that Elda actually had seen someone crouching on the skylight?
34850Was it possible, she wondered, that she had misjudged the professor and his machine?
34850Was that one of the professor''s jobs?"
34850We could call the police, but how far would we get?
34850Webb, which is the mine that Mr. Johnson supplied?"
34850Weems?"
34850What do I have to show for it?
34850What do you want to know?"
34850What has happened to you?"
34850What have they done to you?"
34850What more do you ask?"
34850What''s up?"
34850What''s up?"
34850Where are you taking him?"
34850Where did the woman die?
34850Who told you about him?"
34850Who was he?"
34850Why not try me and see?"
34850Why so jumpy?"
34850Why was he discharged?"
34850Why?"
34850Will that give you time enough?"
34850Will you please come in and explain what kept you so long?"
34850Will you take it?"
34850Write stories for newspapers out of town?"
34850You did n''t learn who the man was?"
34850You got my note?"
34850You know the way, do n''t you?"
34850You mean to substitute Mr. Johnson''s mine for one of the others?"
34691A fellow with a long white beard?
34691A gate?
34691A long one?
34691A mare with a white foot? 34691 A wash- out, do you think?"
34691Ai n''t it awful?
34691And forget the mystery?
34691And has your father said you may go?
34691And is there really danger that the dam will give way?
34691And it was close by that the Headless Horseman appeared--"Will you please hush?
34691And the Burmasters? 34691 And the Headless Horseman?"
34691And then what happened?
34691And what better place could I have than this?
34691And what of the Burmasters?
34691And where is Witching Rock?
34691And who be you? 34691 And who says that the dam wo n''t hold?"
34691And why should n''t I be nervous?
34691Anything I can do for you?
34691Are n''t we ever going to start?
34691Are n''t you glad?
34691Are n''t you home early for lunch?
34691Are the people of Delta leaving for the hills?
34691Are you all right?
34691Are you asleep, girls?
34691Are you sure you can go, Penny?
34691Are you sure you did n''t hide it somewhere else?
34691At this time of night?
34691Back to Williams''Stable?
34691Big? 34691 Burmaster forced all of the valley folk off their land?"
34691Busy?
34691But do I have the strength?
34691But how can we get a camera?
34691But how can we get to Sleepy Hollow?
34691But how could Mrs. Burmaster know you had the deed?
34691But how will we find the man?
34691But how?
34691But how?
34691But what can she be doing up at this time of night?
34691But what can she hope to gain?
34691But what is the story of the Headless Horseman?
34691But what must I do?
34691But what of Mrs. Lear and the Burmasters?
34691But why did he say I could do good in the valley?
34691But why do n''t people move to safety?
34691But why give up so easily?
34691But why should anyone come here tonight?
34691But why?
34691But you did see him?
34691But you do have an idea who was back of the scheme?
34691But you will let me go?
34691Ca n''t you do your speculating in the morning?
34691Ca n''t you ever stay on the job?
34691Ca n''t you get an answer?
34691Ca n''t you wait until they''re baked?
34691Calculate on earning that reward?
34691Can she ride a horse?
34691Can that old witch ride?
34691Can you get here today?
34691Could n''t it have been a holiday prank?
34691Could n''t your workmen keep watch and swing it into place after the Horseman started across the bridge? 34691 Did I now?"
34691Did n''t Mr. Burmaster pay for what he bought?
34691Did n''t Mrs. Burmaster steal the deed to my land jest fer meanness and spite? 34691 Did someone come for Trinidad?"
34691Did you ever see a prettier little valley?
34691Did you say Burmaster?
34691Did you see him ride across the bridge and then take a trail along the creek bed?
34691Did you sleep right last night?
34691Do n''t try to tell me you''ve seen the Headless Horseman already?
34691Do n''t you realize that your life is in danger?
34691Do n''t you realize there''s no one else to send the news?
34691Do n''t you think Mrs. Lear and the Burmasters had any chance to reach the hills?
34691Do n''t you think help will come soon?
34691Do you have a rope?
34691Do you suppose all this talk about the dam being weak is just talk?
34691Do you think it''s safe to let those men in?
34691Does Mr. Malcom live near here?
34691Exactly what do you know about this advertisement?
34691Face them all? 34691 For how long?"
34691Get that?
34691Goodness, what was that?
34691Has Mr. Burmaster actually offered a five hundred dollar reward for its capture?
34691Haunts?
34691Have n''t authorities inspected the dam recently?
34691Have you ever acted in any other?
34691Have you had anything to eat?
34691Have you heard what happened to them?
34691Have you heard?
34691How about cashing a little check for me?
34691How about my story to the_ Star_?
34691How about the railroad station?
34691How about the roads?
34691How could he do that?
34691How could we be, when we have n''t turned off the trail?
34691How could you?
34691How do I know I''ll ever see you again?
34691How do you suppose he knew about my father?
34691How far from Delta to Sleepy Hollow?
34691How many wires come in here?
34691How may I ask?
34691How should I know? 34691 How so?"
34691How soon do you expect to get one?
34691How will we get back to Mrs. Lear''s place?
34691How would you find Burmaster?
34691How?
34691How?
34691I repeat,he challenged,"did you ever act in any manner except for your own interest?"
34691I suppose you''d like to have me assign you the task of tracking down your Front Page gem?
34691If Mrs. Lear is determined to stay here, what can we do about it?
34691If the good people of Delta are endangered why do n''t they repair the dam themselves?
34691If time''s heavy on your hands why not take a little jaunt to the Huntley Dam?
34691If you know it''s a prank why should it worry you?
34691If you wo n''t listen to reason yourself, what about these girls?
34691Is Delta the name of a town?
34691Is n''t it possible that the disturbance always has been caused by a boy-- perhaps this lad who clattered over the bridge tonight?
34691Is n''t the deed recorded?
34691Is n''t there anything we can do?
34691Is that you, Penny? 34691 Is the special wire set up yet?"
34691Is there any reason why I ca n''t use the phone now-- the test instrument?
34691Is there really such a thing or is it just a story?
34691It''s rainin'', ai n''t it? 34691 Joe brought you home, did n''t he?"
34691Just now the important thing is when are you coming home?
34691Just what does that mean?
34691Know what I think?
34691Lose something?
34691Me afeared?
34691Meaning?
34691Mind if we go along?
34691Mr. Burmaster, is Mrs. Lear''s place on down this road?
34691Mrs. Lear was swept away?
34691Must we pass there?
34691Not Red Valley?
34691Not looking for a horse by any chance, are you?
34691Not the Headless Horseman?
34691Not the Headless Horseman?
34691Not the man who was just here?
34691Now what is all this?
34691Now what''ll we do?
34691Now what''s that?
34691Now what?
34691Now what?
34691Now what?
34691Now where''s she going?
34691Now why do you suppose Mrs. Lear came here at this time of night?
34691Of what?
34691Oh, I ca n''t?
34691Oh, you do?
34691Only a boy, sir?
34691Penny, ca n''t you see it''s only a joke?
34691Penny, what are you talking about anyway?
34691Prankster?
34691Really?
34691Red Valley? 34691 Salt Sommers?"
34691Say,he demanded,"how did you get in here?"
34691See that big boulder? 34691 See that fellow?"
34691See that tree?
34691Should n''t you move to the hills?
34691Since Mr. Burmaster refuses to help is there nothing that can be done?
34691So failing in ordinary methods, you tried to bring him around with your Headless Horseman stunt?
34691So it''s a lie, is it?
34691So you admit that you''ve met your Waterloo in our Galloping Ghost?
34691So you''d like to collect Mr. Burmaster''s reward?
34691So you''re afraid to look?
34691Someone camping along the road?
34691Speaking of rain,Penny began hesitantly,"Do n''t you think it''s dangerous to remain here much longer?"
34691Stands out like a sore thumb, do n''t it? 34691 That you, Penny?"
34691That you, Silas?
34691The captain?
34691Then Mr. Burmaster bought the entire track of land from the Eastern owner?
34691Then he lives in Hobostein?
34691Then may I ask how you knew about our difficulties here at Sleepy Hollow?
34691Then the first reporter to get his news out of the valley will have a big story?
34691Then there''s no way to get my story out?
34691Then we''re tied up here?
34691Then what does your prankster hope to gain?
34691Then why is n''t it done?
34691Then why not ketch the Horseman and put an end to it?
34691Then you believe she''s been behind the scheme from the first?
34691Then you feel the situation really is serious?
34691Then you plan to send flood pictures direct from here to Riverview?
34691Then you think Mrs. Lear knows?
34691Then you''ve never actually seen such a rider?
34691They did it to plague the Burmasters?
34691They''ve made no attempt to do so?
34691Trouble?
34691Was it your wife we heard scream?
34691Was n''t that the same word you used not so long ago when I tried to tell you about a certain Witch Doll?
34691We came to find out about that Headless Horseman, did n''t we?
34691Well, so you''re here again?
34691Well?
34691Western Union?
34691What about the pictures we planned to take here?
34691What am I going to do without a horse?
34691What are we going to do? 34691 What are you building?"
34691What became of yours?
34691What ca n''t you do?
34691What can be wrong?
34691What can you do except go downstairs and tell the truth?
34691What deed do you mean?
34691What do you make of it?
34691What do you think is going on?
34691What do you want to know?
34691What is it you want to know?
34691What is it?
34691What is it?
34691What is scrap grease?
34691What now?
34691What time does he appear?
34691What time''s that train out o''Delta?
34691What town?
34691What was it you saw?
34691What was it?
34691What was that sound?
34691What was that?
34691What was that?
34691What were you saying about me, John?
34691What''s a running story?
34691What''s he trying to do?
34691What''s that you have in your hand?
34691What''s that?
34691What''s that?
34691What''s the matter?
34691What''s the meaning of waking a body up in the middle o''the night?
34691What''s the use of being the talented, only daughter of a prosperous newspaper owner if you ca n''t cash in on it now and then?
34691What''s there to be skeared of?
34691What''s to be done?
34691What''s up?
34691What''s wanted?
34691What? 34691 What?"
34691When did the trouble first start?
34691When do we start and where?
34691When do you suppose the Relief folks will get here?
34691When is Salt leaving?
34691Where can Mrs. Lear be going?
34691Where did you see her?
34691Where do you think the old lady is going?
34691Where have you been for the past twenty minutes?
34691Where is your home?
34691Where is your husband now?
34691Where shall I drop you girls?
34691Where to?
34691Where you gals calculatin''to spend the night?
34691Where''s Joe Quigley?
34691Where''s White Foot?
34691Where''s my horse?
34691White Foot did n''t throw you off?
34691Who are these people?
34691Who do you think the prankster is?
34691Who else would want it?
34691Who else? 34691 Who else?"
34691Who is he?
34691Who is it?
34691Who''s afraid of a tulip tree?
34691Who''s there?
34691Why ca n''t we go to Sleepy Hollow?
34691Why did you do it?
34691Why do n''t we get out of this valley and stay away?
34691Why do n''t we go home this morning and forget the whole silly affair?
34691Why do n''t we go to Red Valley with Salt?
34691Why do n''t you stay until tomorror anyhow? 34691 Why do n''t you tear that place out of your mind?"
34691Why do you say the reward never will be collected?
34691Why do you suppose Mrs. Lear slipped off without saying a word?
34691Why is Mrs. Burmaster so disliked in the community?
34691Why not move a mountain?
34691Why not talk it over with your father?
34691Why should n''t I open the door?
34691Why the telephone office?
34691Why there?
34691Why would anyone build an expensive home in such a lonely place?
34691Why, not be rid of the Ghost in an easier way?
34691Why, the coffers of this old paper fairly drip gold, but do I ever get any of it?
34691Why, what''s wrong?
34691Will you come?
34691Will you have a bite o''breakfast, Joe?
34691Without an escort?
34691Wonder how she can afford to keep it?
34691Wonder if Salt got any good pictures when he was here yesterday?
34691Wonder if it could be John Burmaster, the millionaire? 34691 Wonder if it''s raining at Red Valley?"
34691Wonder which way it is to the Huntley Dam?
34691Worrying about your pocketbook?
34691Would that be the Delta station call?
34691Would you call that advertisement in the Hobostein paper a joke?
34691Yes?
34691Yet Mr. Burmaster keeps watch of the bridge?
34691You do n''t think the dam actually will give way?
34691You have n''t put up all that fruit this morning?
34691You know what them Burmasters done?
34691You mean that folks outside of the valley do n''t know about the flood?
34691You mean the Huntley Dam?
34691You mean the rider actually has no head?
34691You never even saw the rider who got away?
34691You never told her, did you?
34691You own your own land?
34691You say Silas sent you?
34691You think we might meet the Headless Horseman?
34691You''ll come again?
34691You''ll do it?
34691You''re speaking about the Headless Horseman?
34691You''ve known for a long time, have n''t you?
34691Your husband?
34691Your pa''s a newspaper owner, ai n''t he?
34691Your workmen stand guard?
3469117?"
34691Admit that my wife is a thief?"
34691And what does he say about the high water?"
34691Any danger we''ll be stranded at Delta?"
34691Anything to eat around here?"
34691Are n''t you the richest man in the Valley?
34691Are they leaving?"
34691Are you all right?"
34691Are you looking for someone in this building?"
34691Burmaster?"
34691Burmaster?"
34691Burmaster?"
34691Burmaster?"
34691Burmaster?"
34691But who is the fellow?"
34691But why-- why would she do such a thing?"
34691By the way, where can we set up our portable wire photo equipment?"
34691CHAPTER 2_ PLANS_"Now what became of that old man?"
34691Can you get ahold of a camera?"
34691Can you give us a complete, running story of the flood?"
34691Can you send help?"
34691Did he mean what he said or was he merely trying to lead her on with hints of mystery?
34691Did n''t you hear?"
34691Did n''t you think that horse tonight looked like Trinidad?"
34691Did the flood strike there?"
34691Did you never talk to him about the missing deed?"
34691Do I wire your father''yes''or''no''?"
34691Do n''t you see it''s your duty to get news out to the country?
34691Do you have a telephone?"
34691Do you hear me?
34691Ever been there?"
34691Friends o''his?"
34691Had the mysterious rider been seen or heard of in the Valley in recent days?
34691Have n''t they tried everything?"
34691Have you considered putting a barricade at the end of the bridge?"
34691Her left hind one?"
34691How about the telephone company?"
34691How did it happen?"
34691How great was the property damage?
34691How had the old lady learned that Mr. Parker was a newspaper man if not from Silas Malcom?
34691How many lives had been lost?
34691How would you like to go in search of a Headless Horseman?"
34691I suppose you let that rider get away again?"
34691I suppose you''re leaving, Joe Quigley?"
34691In any case, what about the buggy?"
34691Is it true that some prankster has been causing trouble in the valley?"
34691Is n''t it enough that I have to live in this horrible community, among such cruel hateful people without you turning against me too?"
34691Is n''t there a car one can hire?"
34691Know why I think she''ll be there?"
34691Know why?
34691Lear?"
34691Lear?"
34691Lear?"
34691Lear?"
34691May I make the trip?"
34691May I offer a word of advice?"
34691Or did he?"
34691Or did n''t you know?"
34691Or did you?"
34691Or does n''t that mean anything?"
34691Penny, do you realize that if we go to Sleepy Hollow we may run into more than we bargain for?"
34691Peters?"
34691Remember?"
34691She spoke tensely into the transmitter:"Hello, is this the_ Star_ office?"
34691She turned to the old lady and asked:"Wo n''t you come to Riverview with Louise and me?
34691Sleep in the barn?"
34691So you be interested in haunts?"
34691Touching the man''s arm to attract his attention, she said breathlessly:"Mr. Nordwall, do you remember me?"
34691Want me to ride along and show you the way?"
34691Want to get him on the wire for me?"
34691Well, what''s the plan?"
34691What about him?"
34691What do you say, Dad?"
34691What do you think, Dad?"
34691What fate had befallen Mrs. Lear and the Burmasters?
34691What had happened to old Mrs. Lear and the Burmasters?
34691What''s good about it?"
34691When did you blow into town?"
34691Which way did he go?"
34691With an added burden of water could the dam hold?
34691Would n''t you like to have me buy a few for you while I''m there?"
34691Ye came to find out about that Headless Horseman, did n''t ye?"
34691You do n''t mean to tell me you have n''t seen Sleepy Hollow estate?"
34691You''ll stay with Mrs. Lear tonight?"
34395A pleasant woman, Dad?
34395A roomer?
34395A surprise?
34395A tall, lean man in a gray suit?
34395About the cargo he carried?
34395About what?
34395Afternoon?
34395Ai n''t you made more money since I teamed up with you than you ever did before?
34395All this while you made no attempt to contact police?
34395Am I a lunatic? 34395 Am I seeing things or am I seeing things?"
34395Am I? 34395 And how did you get into the house?"
34395And how did you learn Dad intended to expose the higher- ups?
34395And no questions asked?
34395And then what happened? 34395 And then you dropped an unsigned letter in my mailbox?"
34395And where does this garage fit into the picture?
34395And you are taking care of the office in his absence?
34395And you did n''t see a thing?
34395And you ran the same too, I suppose?
34395And you took it?
34395Any news from your father?
34395Any news?
34395Any news?
34395Any others in the warehouse?
34395Any trouble at the_ Star_?
34395Anything important?
34395Are n''t you a bit mixed up?
34395Are n''t you being a bit superstitious, Mose?
34395Are you all right, Dad?
34395Are you an employee here?
34395Are you hurt, Lou?
34395Are you hurt?
34395Are you hurt?
34395Are you sure that your father sought hospital treatment?
34395Are you sure you can handle the boat?
34395Are you sure you know the way?
34395Are you sure you''re perfectly well?
34395Are you willing to swear out a warrant charging Mattie and her partner with dealing in stolen merchandise?
34395Baldiff Road?
34395Burns, eh?
34395But did n''t you notice his face? 34395 But how can I reach him?"
34395But how did it get across the road?
34395But is it a he, she, or it?
34395But is she the one who ran away last night?
34395But what became of the other automobile?
34395But what''s it to you? 34395 But where are we going?"
34395By the way, do you know who owns the property?
34395By the way, have you decided what you''ll do about her?
34395By what right may I ask?
34395Ca n''t the police find her?
34395Ca n''t we just wait here until someone comes along and gives us a lift to town?
34395Ca n''t you borrow a car from someone at the_ Star_ office?
34395Ca n''t you go faster?
34395Can I?
34395Can it be the same woman?
34395Can you give me my bill?
34395Can you use it?
34395Dad did n''t seem much hurt?
34395Dad, ca n''t you remember the men who took you away in the taxi?
34395Dad, do you recognize any of those men?
34395Dad, is Harley Schirr one of the gang?
34395Did he seem dazed by the accident?
34395Did n''t he have a reason for being so late?
34395Did n''t he leave an address at the office?
34395Did n''t he realize who they were?
34395Did n''t you notice the license number?
34395Did someone ask for me?
34395Did you actually see any stolen tires?
34395Did you deal with Ropes Mollinberg?
34395Did you find Dad?
34395Did you have a bad time of it today?
34395Did you see him?
34395Did you tell Dad?
34395Did you witness the accident?
34395Do n''t you know me, Dad? 34395 Do n''t you think it was intended as a joke?"
34395Do n''t you think so, Salt?
34395Do n''t you think we ought to go home?
34395Do you have one scrap of evidence that Dad has fallen into the hands of enemies?
34395Do you suppose he threw it there himself?
34395Do you think he could have been waylaid by enemies?
34395Do you understand? 34395 Does anyone live there now?"
34395For Jerry''s address?
34395For whom does he work?
34395Ghost? 34395 Guess you heard about DeWitt?"
34395Harley Schirr? 34395 Has Dad arrived there?"
34395Has Dad been found?
34395Have n''t we seen him somewhere?
34395Have n''t you forgotten a rather important financial item?
34395Have you had your supper?
34395Have you thought about employing a private detective?
34395Heard from your father?
34395High toned, ai n''t you?
34395Home?
34395How about a date tonight, Baby?
34395How about a nice smile, Baby?
34395How about letting me see that story?
34395How about the time you ran the High School weekly?
34395How about the_ Icicle_?
34395How about these other eggs? 34395 How about writing a few headlines for me?"
34395How are we ever to find the listening post?
34395How are you at capturing ghosts?
34395How are you feeling this afternoon, Dad?
34395How bad is it?
34395How badly was he hurt?
34395How can I buy tires? 34395 How could your father have been kidnaped?
34395How did it get in Dad''s waste- basket?
34395How did you learn the combination?
34395How do you know he intends to do such a thing?
34395How do you know?
34395How do you want to go?
34395How long have I been sleeping?
34395How long have you been dealing in stolen tires?
34395How many will you have?
34395How shall I sign the editorial?
34395How should I know?
34395How would I?
34395How''d he take the blow?
34395How''ll we know when we get to the warehouse?
34395How''s everything at the office?
34395How, Dad?
34395I really am busy--"Will you reinstate Mose?
34395I wonder if this came by mail?
34395I wonder what can be in those big boxes, Lou?
34395I wonder why?
34395I would n''t believe Mose Johnson, so why should you believe me? 34395 I''m willing to go inside,"said Louise,"but why start a fuss?
34395In this blinding snow? 34395 In what condition was Mr. Parker when you left him?"
34395In whose car, may I ask?
34395Indeed?
34395Is n''t that along the river?
34395Is there anything I can do to help?
34395Is this Miss Parker?
34395Is this the place?
34395John Gilmore? 34395 Just what am I to do?"
34395Know what I''ll do? 34395 Losing five practically new tires is a mere detail in comparison?"
34395Married?
34395May I come inside and talk to you?
34395May we come in?
34395May we ride with you?
34395Mind if I have a little of your heat?
34395Miss Parker, what proof have you that your accusations are true?
34395Mixed up?
34395Mr. Parker, why not let the police handle the crooks while you look after your newspaper business? 34395 Mr. Schirr is n''t in conference?"
34395Mrs. Botts live here?
34395Mrs. Botts, what have you to say?
34395Must we do it?
34395My father entered the hospital?
34395My name?
34395Need a job?
34395No roomer ever has stayed here?
34395No word from Jerry, I suppose?
34395Not alone?
34395Not doing anything special, are you?
34395Not without it?
34395Now what are we to do?
34395Now what are you keeping from me?
34395Now would n''t this be a fine time to go home?
34395On your way to the office?
34395Or am I seeing spooks myself?
34395Ought n''t we to wait for the police?
34395Penny, are we really lost?
34395Penny, must we wait any longer?
34395Penny, what are you letting me in for?
34395Penny?
34395Purposely?
34395Runners dull?
34395Salt, how soon will you be driving to Riverview?
34395Salt,she inquired,"who lives in that place?"
34395Sam Burkholder here?
34395Say, who''s that trackin''through the fields?
34395Schirr?
34395Shall I nab her?
34395Shall I take the reward money with me?
34395Shall we go?
34395Shall we start soon?
34395Should n''t we be coming to the station?
34395Snoopers, eh?
34395So what?
34395So you admit you''ve been doing an illegal business?
34395So you believe Dad has fallen into the clutches of those men?
34395So you carried on crooked operations all by your lonesome?
34395So you lost five tires last night?
34395Supposin''I tell you how to get the whole gang, will you forget what you''ve seen here?
34395Surely you do n''t expect to handle this tire gang single handed?
34395Tell me, was he badly hurt?
34395The Harrison place?
34395The other car did n''t stop?
34395The photographer who works on your father''s newspaper?
34395Then how do you get your tires?
34395Then what happened? 34395 Then where shall I meet you?"
34395Then why did n''t he want you to publish the tire stories in the_ Star_?
34395Then why not go somewhere and telephone?
34395Then why not keep on?
34395Then you do n''t intend to report to the police, Penny?
34395Then you do n''t think it came from the tire- theft gang?
34395Three men?
34395Treatment for what?
34395Want me to help?
34395Want me to open it for you?
34395Was it blue?
34395Was n''t that a plane?
34395Well dressed?
34395Well, was n''t I right?
34395Well, what are we waiting for?
34395Were you afraid?
34395Were you having a ghost dream?
34395What Burns do you mean?
34395What am I, a coward?
34395What are those cops comin''here for?
34395What are we going to do?
34395What are we going to do?
34395What are we to do? 34395 What are we waiting for?"
34395What are you using for a car? 34395 What became of that woman?"
34395What became of the light we''ve been following?
34395What can I do for you?
34395What could have become of him?
34395What crates?
34395What did the third man look like, Mose? 34395 What do you know about Mr. Parker''s disappearance?"
34395What do you mean by that crack?
34395What do you think we should do?
34395What do you think you''re doing?
34395What does Dad think about it?
34395What does he think we are, a couple of female spies?
34395What excuse will we have for questioning her?
34395What good would it do?
34395What happened this time, Mose?
34395What happened, Charley? 34395 What happened?"
34395What has, Dad?
34395What have you to say about that?
34395What is it you want?
34395What makes you think so? 34395 What may I do for you?"
34395What sort of a place do you think we run here?
34395What the blazes is the matter with everyone?
34395What was it?
34395What were you doing in my father''s office?
34395What will it be?
34395What''s all this?
34395What''s good about it?
34395What''s so suspicious about that?
34395What''s ten years or so of jail in my young life?
34395What''s that across the road?
34395What''s wrong with me?
34395When are you breaking it, Dad?
34395When will you be home?
34395Where are you going?
34395Where did you go after you left the_ Star_ office?
34395Where is Mose this morning, Charley?
34395Where is he now?
34395Where is he?
34395Where is my father now?
34395Where is that?
34395Where is the mail?
34395Where to?
34395Where to?
34395Where''s my father?
34395Where''s the coupe?
34395Where''s the rest of your men?
34395Where, Dad?
34395Where?
34395Which hospital?
34395Which way was it going, Mose?
34395Who am I?
34395Who are these people?
34395Who are you?
34395Who are you?
34395Who are you?
34395Who gave you permission to open the safe?
34395Who is it?
34395Who is the woman? 34395 Who is this, please?"
34395Who told you that yarn?
34395Who were the men?
34395Who''s in charge?
34395Why did n''t he ask to go home?
34395Why did n''t you give this information to the police immediately?
34395Why did n''t you go through with it?
34395Why did n''t you report to the police?
34395Why did you summon those men, of all persons?
34395Why do n''t he climb over the fence?
34395Why do n''t the police come?
34395Why do n''t we get closer?
34395Why do n''t we go?
34395Why do n''t you take over, Penny?
34395Why do n''t you wait in the cab?
34395Why do they stare at me?
34395Why do you do it?
34395Why do you take that attitude?
34395Why does n''t someone answer?
34395Why for you?
34395Why not take the day off, Mr. DeWitt? 34395 Why not talk to Carl Burns?"
34395Why should I be afraid of Harley Schirr? 34395 Why should I let you take me away?
34395Why should he soft- pedal the tire stories?
34395Why was that?
34395Why, where did you get that letter?
34395Will Mattie be kept in jail long?
34395Will it be possible to trace the person?
34395Will someone kindly tell me why I am being imprisoned in this bed?
34395Will you keep Mattie out of this?
34395Will you need me any more?
34395Will you notify police for me?
34395Will you please ask Mose to wait there for me?
34395Will you please step into my office?
34395Wo n''t you come in for a cup of chocolate?
34395Wonder if she can be going there?
34395Wonder who or what could have made that path?
34395Wonder who owns the place now?
34395Wonder who owns this place?
34395Would Mr. Deming be likely to annoy himself with roomers? 34395 Would you consider her a woman of means?"
34395Yes,nodded Penny,"what do you suppose he meant?"
34395Yes?
34395Yes?
34395You can see, ca n''t you?
34395You did n''t take down the license number of the blue hit- skip car?
34395You did?
34395You did?
34395You do n''t even care to know the name of the garage?
34395You do n''t know what evidence he carried in the portfolio when he went to see the State Prosecutor?
34395You do n''t mean a brief case?
34395You do n''t mean that big estate house with the fence surrounding it?
34395You do n''t want to know the name of the place?
34395You heard what the cashier said to him?
34395You know de road that winds up Craig Hill? 34395 You know where you are now, do n''t you?"
34395You know who I am now, do n''t you?
34395You live here, yet you have n''t learned that the grounds are haunted?
34395You remember everything?
34395You remember me, do n''t you?
34395You remember us, do n''t you?
34395You say you were driving?
34395You''ll take a taxi?
34395You''re making an issue of it?
34395You''re not going to cave in now, are you?
34395Young lady, how did you learn the combination?
34395Your father is n''t here?
34395Your friends?
3439532?"
34395A Black Market place?"
34395A muffled voice called:"Who''s there?"
34395And then what am I to do?"
34395And then when I saw the ghost--""What ghost?"
34395And who would play Hallowe''en games on a cold night like this?"
34395Anything wrong?"
34395Are you ready to put on that tire?"
34395At home?"
34395At length however, he aroused himself and asked:"Have you tried your father''s safe?"
34395Botts?"
34395Botts?"
34395Botts?"
34395Burns?"
34395Burns?"
34395But one night a girl broke in-- could that have been you, Penny?"
34395By the way, Jerry, what are your plans?"
34395By the way, no telegram has come from Jerry?"
34395CHAPTER 24_ TRICKERY_"What d''you think you''re doing in here?"
34395Ca n''t either of you tell me the truth?"
34395Can you identify them?"
34395Can you tell me anything about his disappearance?"
34395Cutting short Penny''s praise of it, she inquired alertly:"Going somewhere?"
34395Dared she open it?
34395DeWitt?"
34395DeWitt?"
34395DeWitt?"
34395DeWitt?"
34395Deming?"
34395Deming?"
34395Deming?"
34395Deming?"
34395Did it look like him?"
34395Did the cab drive away?"
34395Did the ghost disappear?"
34395Did you ever tell anyone that Dad is planning to expose the gang?"
34395Did you notice the woman who offered my father a ride?"
34395Do I have to explain everything to you?
34395Do n''t you remember?"
34395Do n''t you understand, Mrs. Weems?
34395Do you remember Salt Sommers?"
34395Does this prove my story?"
34395Fearful lest the woman had lost her nerve and was about to hang up, Penny said anxiously:"Where shall I meet you?
34395Ghosts kinda slither, do n''t they?"
34395Has yo''been lookin''for dat ghost?"
34395Have you any evidence?"
34395He did n''t telephone here?"
34395How about it, boys?"
34395How about signing for the telegram?"
34395How could he have found out?"
34395How could it be your father?"
34395How''s the trucking business?"
34395I take it you''re not a government agent?"
34395I''ve not paid it for a long while, have I?"
34395Is there a chance my memory ever will return?"
34395Look after this customer, will you?"
34395May I take a message?"
34395Mr. Parker hesitated and then said:"I can trust you, ca n''t I, Penny?"
34395Now where is the meeting to be held?"
34395Now, are you interested?"
34395Paper, Miss?"
34395Parker?"
34395Remember the big truck?"
34395Schirr?"
34395Sensing the presence of someone in the room she called sharply:"Who''s here?"
34395Tell me, which way did the cab go?"
34395That egg?
34395Then one of the men, a red- faced fellow with a twisted lower lip, asked:"You lookin''fer somebody?"
34395Then, recovering his poise, he scowled and demanded:"Here again?"
34395Think we ought to try it, Penny?"
34395This is a defense plant, or did n''t you know?"
34395Thrusting his head through the opening he bellowed angrily:"What you tryin''to do?
34395Turning to Louise, she asked earnestly:"You believe I saw something wandering about the estate last night, do n''t you?"
34395Turning to leave the cage, she inquired:"Where is Mose now?
34395Weems?"
34395What became of that man I thought was Dad?"
34395What brings you girls here on such a wild night?"
34395What can we do?"
34395What could she hope to gain by pursuing the strange woman?
34395What do you know about my father?"
34395What do you mean, Penny?"
34395What do you think?"
34395What does he have to do with it?"
34395What does the doctor say?
34395What ghost?"
34395What is it you want?"
34395What may I do for you?"
34395What will you give me to spill?"
34395What''s wrong with me?"
34395Where did Mr. Parker go when he left here?"
34395Where did you see her?"
34395Who discharged him?"
34395Who then, was he?
34395Why did you run away?"
34395Why had he refused to talk to her at the gate?
34395Why not tramp over there and ask him to telephone our folks?"
34395Why should I deceive you by taking a stranger into the house?"
34395Will you come to my home?"
34395Will you come with me?"
34395Wreck my truck?"
34395You know the cemetery out on Baldiff Road?"
34592A Green Room?
34592A cocktail room perhaps?
34592A deal?
34592A hard day, Dad?
34592A message from whom?
34592A tidy little sum of money, or the asylum?
34592An important story?
34592And admit you were in the wrong when you''re certain you were n''t?
34592And do n''t the newspapers always arrive?
34592And do you know how to avoid it?
34592And how does one go about acquiring a free coat? 34592 And if one has a rush message to send after that hour?"
34592And if you fail?
34592And that goes double, I take it?
34592And the sleds?
34592And there''s nothing you can do about it?
34592And what are you doing in this part of the hotel?
34592And what is it? 34592 And what will your grandfather say if he learns about it?"
34592And who are these men of mystery?
34592And who is Jake?
34592And who is he? 34592 And who is he?"
34592And you do n''t mind deceiving your grandfather?
34592And you?
34592Any newspapers tonight?
34592Anyone else hurt, Sara?
34592Are n''t you drawing rather sweeping conclusions?
34592Blank days?
34592But how could Francine have learned about it so soon?
34592But how to prove it?
34592But how would he profit by not receiving them?
34592But how? 34592 But there is no newspaper in Pine Top, I wonder--?"
34592But what happened to the papers today?
34592But what is the attraction of this place, if not the skiing?
34592But what significance_ could_ it have?
34592But why should your lodge annoy them? 34592 But you do it anyway?"
34592Ca n''t the story be proven? 34592 Ca n''t you deal with the son?"
34592Ca n''t you even ski with me for half an hour?
34592Ca n''t you get up your nerve?
34592Ca n''t you think of anything else to do?
34592Ca n''t you understand plain language?
34592Ca n''t you use the run again this year?
34592Can I buy a newspaper here?
34592Can you climb a flight of stairs?
34592Can you help me get out of here?
34592Can you identify him?
34592Can you really get a good fur coat for as little as a hundred dollars?
34592Coming, Penny?
34592Costume?
34592Could n''t you slow down or was it too icy?
34592Dad, you''ll honestly try to come to Pine Top for Christmas?
34592Did I make a mistake in letting her know that you were n''t on an assignment?
34592Did n''t your grandfather say anything about last time?
34592Did you ever hear of a Green Room at the Fergus hotel?
34592Did you lock the tool house last night, Jake?
34592Did you see me make the jump?
34592Did you two decide to change places?
34592Did you wish to see me?
34592Do you have an extra costume?
34592Do you know if they have a guest named David Balantine?
34592Do you know them?
34592Do you mean messages one can read?
34592Do you mean your new employer?
34592Do you really like my new wardrobe, dearie?
34592Do you see what I see?
34592Does it hurt to upset?
34592Does your grandfather often leave you like this?
34592Fergus, eh? 34592 Francine?
34592Francine?
34592From Benny? 34592 From what office are the messages being sent and for what purpose?"
34592Going back up the mountain?
34592Harvey Maxwell?
34592Has Mr. Fergus tried to buy your lodge?
34592Has he?
34592Have you caught any more witch dolls?
34592Have you decided to use the run after all?
34592Have you ever tried giving your father a list?
34592Have you hurt yourself again?
34592He is n''t sick?
34592He isn''t--?
34592He would n''t change his story?
34592He''s made a large amount of money from his hotels, has n''t he?
34592He_ likes_ me?
34592How about the windows?
34592How did you get it?
34592How do I get there?
34592How do you like it?
34592How do you mean, Penny?
34592How does one go about obtaining a card for the Green Room?
34592How does one obtain a card of admission?
34592How far is it from here to the border?
34592How late is your office open?
34592How long before we reach Pine Top?
34592How long have you been there?
34592How long will you stay at the Fergus hotel?
34592How will I ever get out of this hole?
34592How would you like to have me solve the mystery for you?
34592How?
34592How?
34592Hurt?
34592I beg your pardon,she said,"can you tell me how to find the Green Room?"
34592I suppose you get a commission on every garment sold?
34592I told you to stay away, did n''t I?
34592I wonder how the Fergus- Maxwell interests are enjoying it?
34592I wonder if that means me?
34592I wonder if the Fergus hotel managed to get any?
34592I wonder if you could help me?
34592I wonder if you could tell me what seems to be the trouble with the newspaper delivery service here at Pine Top?
34592I wonder what happened to the brake? 34592 I wonder who that girl was at the window?"
34592I wonder why?
34592In this storm?
34592Is he entirely right in his mind?
34592Is it always so cold here?
34592Is it for a party?
34592Is it still possible to make a reservation for Pine Top?
34592Is n''t he the man who owns the Riverview Hotel?
34592Is n''t it a rather long chance to take?
34592Is n''t that the usual condition of a newspaper publisher?
34592Is n''t your grandfather here?
34592Is she a reporter?
34592Is that a promise?
34592Is that the best you can say for it? 34592 Is that where you are going?"
34592Is that where you live?
34592Is the plane service under the control of the Fergus- Maxwell interests?
34592Is there a chance he''ll give his consent?
34592Is there no other person at Pine Top who could do it?
34592It was true though?
34592Jake, does this belong to you?
34592Just what is the Green Room anyway?
34592Like it there?
34592Looking for someone?
34592May I ride with you?
34592Miss Miller, you''re not by chance working for Ralph Fergus or the hotel?
34592Mrs. Downey is n''t using the bob- sled run this year, is she?
34592Need you tell her?
34592New York Times?
34592Nor at the Fergus hotel?
34592Not even if I have lost my card?
34592Not the slopes connected with this lodge?
34592Nothing I can say will make you reconsider?
34592Notice anything queer about it, Penny?
34592Now what have we here?
34592Now what?
34592Now would you be able to pay as much as a hundred dollars for a coat?
34592Now?
34592Oh, Penny,protested Mrs. Downey anxiously,"do n''t you think you should have stayed in bed?
34592Oh, and you like to ski,said Penny,"is that it?"
34592Oh, are you taking this plane?
34592Oh, are you traveling to Pine Top, too?
34592Oh, do you ski?
34592Oh, may I ask a favor?
34592Oh, so it''s_ you_? 34592 Oh, why pose, Penny?
34592Or is this another one of the blank days?
34592Or should I say_ something_?
34592Penny, are you hurt?
34592Please, would you mind pointing that cannon in some other direction? 34592 Ready to try the jump, Penny?"
34592Recommendations?
34592Say, are you suggesting--?
34592Sellberg?
34592Shall I help you inside?
34592She ai n''t that girl reporter that''s been stayin''here at the hotel?
34592Sleep? 34592 So Maxwell was expecting me to come here to make a deal with him?"
34592So late at night?
34592So the screws are to be twisted a bit harder?
34592So what''s the use of telling you?
34592So you really do n''t know their names?
34592So?
34592Something unusual is going on here, but what?
34592Staying at the Downey Lodge?
34592Suppose you tell me why I am going to Pine Top mountain?
34592Tell me, do I look too dreadful?
34592The doors on this floor?
34592The plane came in, did n''t it?
34592The producer? 34592 The toboggan slide is n''t dangerous, is it?"
34592Then he put it up on purpose?
34592Then how do I get the papers for Mrs. Downey''s lodge?
34592Then why did the football player change his story?
34592Then why do n''t you see him? 34592 There''s no chance they can trump up a story and get free?"
34592There, how does it feel now?
34592To go so far just in the hope of seeing this man?
34592Traveling alone?
34592Trick?
34592Up the mountain or down?
34592We-- we''re in the air now, are n''t we?
34592Well, how did you like the skiing?
34592Well--Penny hesitated,"could we enter the hotel by the back way?"
34592Were you able to get the newspapers?
34592Were you wanting to get into this room?
34592What about Fergus and Maxwell?
34592What about our tracks in the snow?
34592What are these for?
34592What are you doing here?
34592What are you going to do?
34592What brings you to the airport?
34592What can the message mean? 34592 What could have happened to Grandfather?"
34592What did you ask him for this year?
34592What do you know about it?
34592What do you say? 34592 What does a button have to do with the bob- sled accident?"
34592What does that mean?
34592What goes on in there anyway? 34592 What happened?"
34592What has snow to do with it?
34592What have you found?
34592What is the meaning of this intrusion?
34592What makes you say that, Jerry? 34592 What reason would I have for doing anything like that?"
34592What sort of car?
34592What was the big idea?
34592What will you do now? 34592 What would be the reason behind that?"
34592What would the hotel be doing with a teletype?
34592What''s the matter, Penny?
34592Whatever made it take you so long?
34592Whatever put such an idea in your head?
34592When does the case come to trial?
34592When will he be at the hotel?
34592When will the papers come?
34592Where could I see these coats?
34592Where did you get your ticket?
34592Where is grandfather?
34592Where is the Green Room, please?
34592Where will you go if you leave here?
34592Where''s that?
34592Which way are you going?
34592Who are those men?
34592Who cares?
34592Who covered the story, Dad?
34592Who do you think I am?
34592Who is she?
34592Who is this man?
34592Who is your employer, Miss Miller? 34592 Who knows?
34592Who occupies Room 27?
34592Who occupies the nearby rooms?
34592Who would n''t? 34592 Who_ are_ they?"
34592Why did he lock you up here?
34592Why did n''t you order the store sent out and be done with it?
34592Why do n''t we bury the hatchet and work together on this thing? 34592 Why do n''t you shoot once or twice into the air just to give''em a good fright?"
34592Why do n''t you tell him the truth? 34592 Why do they want your place?"
34592Why is he suing the_ Star_ for libel, Dad?
34592Why not break down and tell me the identity of our two fellow passengers?
34592Why not put an end to all this nonsense, Francine? 34592 Why should she wish to do that?"
34592Why, what has happened?
34592Will you be able to manage?
34592Will you just read this, please, Mr. Jasko? 34592 Will you need the attendant to turn on the current for you?"
34592Wonder what she''s doing here?
34592Would you like to have one like it?
34592Would you like to walk along?
34592Would you mind?
34592You ai n''t locked out again?
34592You are an actress?
34592You did n''t see him go away?
34592You did n''t spend much time in the Green Room, did you?
34592You did, Penny? 34592 You do n''t by any chance know either of those men?"
34592You do n''t think Ralph Fergus or Harvey Maxwell have influenced Jasko?
34592You do, eh?
34592You have your card, Madam?
34592You mean they came through?
34592You mean, you''re aimin''to have me adjudged insane?
34592You surely do n''t mean you would deliberately defraud the hotel?
34592You told him all about it I suppose?
34592You work here, do n''t you?
34592You''re certain it was in good condition last night?
34592You''re looking for someone?
34592You''re not a guest here?
34592You''re not a guest here?
34592You''re not aiming to run away?
34592You''re not forgetting Mrs. Downey''s place?
34592You''re not locked in?
34592You''re probably only going a short ways?
34592You''re sensitive about being crippled?
34592You''re starting Thursday, are n''t you?
34592You''re sure the connection has been made?
34592You''re the Jasko girl, are n''t you, whose grandfather will not allow skiers on his property?
34592You''re the manager of the hotel, are n''t you?
34592You-- you think Grandfather met with violence?
34592Your ankle?
34592Your father has had dealings with him?
34592Your friend?
34592Your grandfather?
34592Your interview did n''t turn out as you expected?
34592Your new fur coat? 34592 Your proof?"
34592Your room is n''t on this floor, is it?
34592A book or a magazine?"
34592A dining room?"
34592ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?"
34592Addressing the prisoner she demanded:"Is n''t it true that there is a direct wire connection between this hotel and the one in Riverview?"
34592And what did Francine know about it?
34592And what was she trying to tell me?"
34592And you''ll come back soon, wo n''t you, Penny?"
34592Any excitement?"
34592Are n''t you mistaken?
34592Are they selling something?"
34592Are you ready to sign the lease?"
34592Are you sure it is the same man?
34592Are you traveling incognito or something?"
34592As I was telling Mr. Jasko last night--""You were talking with Peter Jasko?"
34592Brakes in good order, Jake?"
34592But as she turned it over she saw a single line of jumbled letters: YL GFZKY GLULFFLS"What can this be?"
34592But had it ever reached the_ Star_ office?
34592But we want it, see?
34592But what can I do?"
34592But why did Maxwell and Fergus find it necessary to employ one?
34592CAN YOU GET AN INTERVIEW WITH SHERIFF CLAUSSON?"
34592CHAPTER 12_ THE GREEN CARD_"Do you always talk to yourself?"
34592CHAPTER 6_ PENNY TRESPASSES_"Ca n''t you understand signs?"
34592Clausson?"
34592Did your grandfather have enemies?"
34592Do n''t you envy us?"
34592Do n''t you think I might at least get an advertising circular?"
34592Do n''t you think you could take two weeks off anyhow, Dad?
34592Do n''t you think you might be interested in one yourself?"
34592Do you feel better, Penny?"
34592Do you have a master key?"
34592Do you have a pain somewhere?"
34592Do you hear it?"
34592Do you think I could?"
34592Downey?"
34592Downey?"
34592Downey?"
34592Fergus?"
34592For the skiing?"
34592From whom had Ralph Fergus received the coded note, and what was its meaning?
34592Gaining control of himself, Peter Jasko demanded gruffly:"Hurt?"
34592Get me?"
34592Glasser?"
34592Go back home?"
34592Harvey Maxwell was speaking:"Well, Jasko, have you thought it over?
34592He''s getting on in years and I''m afraid--""Jake, could n''t we go up to Hatter''s place, wherever it is?"
34592How about it?"
34592How do you like my suit?"
34592How else can one explain your fanatical hatred of skiing, your blind rages, your antagonism to the more progressive interests?
34592How would you like that?"
34592How would you like to earn some more money?"
34592I suppose you''ll be going soon, then?"
34592I wonder if maybe I have n''t stumbled into something?"
34592I''m not certain about the rest--""No?"
34592Injured yourself, too, did n''t you?"
34592Is n''t it glorious skiing weather?
34592Is n''t it new?"
34592Is n''t it?"
34592Is she leaving Pine Top?"
34592Is that clear?"
34592Jasko?"
34592Jasko?"
34592Might it not have been printed by a teletype machine?
34592Mind waiting a few minutes?"
34592My goodness, are n''t your tastes rather expensive?"
34592Oh, by the way, any mail?"
34592One of the owners of the hotel?"
34592Or do I mean a gazelle?"
34592Otherwise, why had Francine been sent to the mountain resort?
34592Penny nudged Louise and whispered in her ear:"Did you hear that?"
34592Penny read the message twice, scowling at the sentence:"Are you sure it is the same man?"
34592Penny started to turn away, and then asked with attempted carelessness:"What''s going on in there anyway?
34592Penny waited until the reporter had left the office and then said apologetically:"I do n''t suppose you''ve received any message for me?"
34592Right?"
34592Say tomorrow at two?"
34592Seeing Francine standing near, she turned to the reporter and exclaimed:"Did you watch Sara''s jump?
34592Shall we be going out to the plane before I miss it?"
34592Shall we work together and let bygones be bygones?"
34592Should n''t I have told him?"
34592Someone connected with the hotel?"
34592Surely you are n''t serious about giving up your lodge?"
34592Tell me, is this hotel close to the old silver mine?"
34592The two men went up to the desk and the portly one addressed the clerk curtly:"You have our reservations for Pine Top?"
34592There she paused to inquire:"Anything I can bring you, Penny?
34592Understand?"
34592WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME FOR XMAS?
34592WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO PINE TOP?
34592WHO UNCOVERED THE STORY?"
34592Was it possible that a plot was being hatched against her father''s friend?
34592Was n''t it magnificent?"
34592What are you bringing him here for?"
34592What are you doing here?"
34592What did Mr. Jasko say?"
34592What did they have to say?
34592What happened?"
34592What is it, Penny?"
34592What must I do to acquire one-- rob a bank?"
34592What time is it?"
34592What was it you wished to know?"
34592Where shall we ski today?"
34592Why did n''t he come along?"
34592Why do n''t we pool our interests and work together?"
34592Why do you suppose she''s going to Pine Top?
34592Why worry about Francine and the silly old Green Room?
34592Why, what is the matter?
34592Will you help me out of here?"
34592With a quick change of mood she inquired:"What''s doing down at the hotel?
34592Would you like that?"
34592You did n''t by chance get that role from David Balantine?"
34592You did n''t notice any automobile on the main road this morning did you?"
34592You do n''t believe in signs either, do you?"
34592You noticed that, I suppose?"
34592You tell Mrs. Downey I''ll try to get up to the lodge tomorrow morning, and we''ll try out the track together, eh Penny?"
34592You''re Penelope Parker, are n''t you?"
34592You''ve not become a professional model?"
34441A blond?
34441A girl? 34441 A key?"
34441A newspaper?
34441A secret entrance?
34441A story for newspaper publication?
34441Afraid?
34441Afraid?
34441After all our work?
34441And a sled?
34441And for what purpose is it to be used now?
34441And if Father Benedict should catch us?
34441And may I inquire how you came into possession of a key to my property?
34441And now you believe my turn has come? 34441 And now?"
34441And that detail?
34441And the gem?
34441And the scream?
34441And what becomes of the money?
34441And where are the cult members?
34441And where do you plan to go when dinner is over, may I ask?
34441And who are the members of his mysterious cult? 34441 And why did she insist in getting out on this corner, of all places?"
34441And you are searching for Mrs. Hawthorne now?
34441And your father approves?
34441Any chance to break down the door?
34441Any sign of Father Benedict or the dogs?
34441Anything I can do to help with dinner?
34441Anywhere?
34441Are there any other girls staying here?
34441Are we to have no peace and quiet within our walls?
34441Are you hurt?
34441Are you ready to come to your senses?
34441Are you so soon forgetting your vows?
34441Are you sure the door is locked?
34441Are you sure this place is occupied?
34441Are you the new owner of this place?
34441At this time of night? 34441 At this time of night?"
34441But ai n''t it a little harsh for a girl? 34441 But should we pick up a hitchhiker, Penny?
34441But the$ 64 question, is how am I going to get out?
34441But what brings you to Riverview?
34441But where is the secret passageway?
34441But who would want to live in that ancient shell? 34441 But why did n''t you bring police here yourself, Rhoda?"
34441But you know where it is kept?
34441But you will let me go? 34441 But you wo n''t mind if I come here to finish my paintings?
34441By the way,she remarked,"was anything seriously wrong in the cellar?"
34441Ca n''t we set them free? 34441 Ca n''t you find it?
34441Can you get me out of this room?
34441Can you get the sapphire in that time?
34441Chicago?
34441Could n''t I? 34441 Could you really do it?"
34441Dad here?
34441Dad, do n''t you think Jay Highland and the monastery might be worth a feature story in the_ Riverview Star_?
34441Did I not order you to remain in the kitchen?
34441Did n''t you hear us trying to get in?
34441Did n''t you understand from Father Benedict that Old Julia causes the commotion?
34441Did the old lady kick in with the sapphire tonight?
34441Did you have a good time skiing?
34441Did you see that hunchback push me down here?
34441Did you see the crypt?
34441Do I understand you to say you were_ locked_ in?
34441Do many people know about it?
34441Do n''t you approve of skiing?
34441Do you live near here?
34441Do you mean you have no home, or are running away?
34441Do you mind if I crawl out through the window?
34441Do you mind if I tell my daughter why you are here?
34441Do you mind if I witness the cult ceremony tonight?
34441Do you not see a picture forming?
34441Do you often see a girl about my age?
34441Do you really believe that a doctor can help you, my good woman?
34441Do you suppose Mrs. Hawthorne''s name is here?
34441Do you suppose she''ll have sense enough to help us?
34441Do you suppose they abandoned the car after getting the suitcase?
34441Do you think he fastened it on purpose?
34441Do you think he runs the place to get money?
34441Does she have relatives or friends here?
34441Does she sleep here?
34441Especially her remark about the canopied bed in the chapel?
34441Ever hear of her?
34441For instance?
34441For instance?
34441For you, obviously?
34441Going far?
34441Handcuffs? 34441 Has she gone to find a key, or has she just gone?"
34441Has that been worrying you?
34441Have I not told you never to come into this section of the building?
34441Have Mr. Ayling and Mr. Merkill been freed yet?
34441Have either of you been mistreated?
34441Have you noticed anyone except the hunchback and his master leaving the building?
34441Have you tried the monastery at Knob Hill?
34441He did n''t say where he was going?
34441He told you to steal, did he?
34441Her granddaughter?
34441How about this ring?
34441How are we going to get out of here? 34441 How are you feeling?"
34441How did the accident happen?
34441How did you get down here?
34441How did you obtain a key?
34441How do you mean?
34441How do you mean?
34441How does one reach the basement and crypt?
34441How does the lift operate?
34441How else could you get in? 34441 How much did she learn, boss?"
34441How soon we leaving?
34441How soon''s luncheon?
34441How were you enticed here?
34441I wonder if that''s his wood?
34441I wonder what''s delaying him?
34441I wonder who tricked him into going to Chicago?
34441Indeed?
34441Is anything wrong?
34441Is it not so?
34441Is it not true that bad fortune has pursued every owner of the star sapphire?
34441Is it on the first floor?
34441Is that all they''re getting to eat?
34441Is that you, Penny?
34441Is the passageway well hidden?
34441It''s no use,she admitted,"unless--""Unless what?"
34441Jake Cotton, the carpenter?
34441Learn anything worth while out there today?
34441May I inquire your business with me?
34441May I?
34441May we introduce ourselves?
34441May we see it?
34441Might n''t she have given another name?
34441Money you mean?
34441Mrs. Hawthorne still has the gem then?
34441My glass interests you?
34441Nice fix for an investigator, eh? 34441 No?"
34441No?
34441Not another gate?
34441Now may I thank you for coming to our humble abode and bid you good afternoon? 34441 Now shall I try?"
34441Now what can he be doing with that sled? 34441 Now where did that brat go?"
34441Now, suppose you tell me what you actually came here to learn?
34441Of what danger?
34441Oh, I do, eh?
34441Oh, why ca n''t I think of some way to stop them?
34441One ca n''t actually conjure up pictures by gazing into that globe?
34441Or are n''t you interested?
34441Ought n''t we to be starting home?
34441Please, ca n''t we give you a lift into the city?
34441Rhoda, is that you?
34441Shall I pick you up at your hotel?
34441Should we go after her?
34441Since the organization is devoted to charity, should n''t it begin with a couple of school girls?
34441So early in the afternoon?
34441So he talked her into coming here?
34441So the room is used as a bedroom now?
34441Soup again?
34441Speaking of secrets,said Penny hesitantly,"I''m wondering what ever became of the star sapphire?"
34441Sure you do n''t want me to go along?
34441Talking to yourself again, Penny?
34441Tell me, have you seen Mr. Ayling, the insurance company investigator?
34441Tell me, where is the key?
34441That you, Penny?
34441The cellars? 34441 The one you call Old Julia-- she also is a member?"
34441The sleeping rooms?
34441Then there''s no chance Father Benedict can get his hands on it while I go for police?
34441Then what became of the real sapphire? 34441 Then what happened?"
34441Then what should we do?
34441Then where did she go?
34441Then who has taken over the building?
34441Then you''d like a story?
34441Then you''re not afraid of the old superstition, that harm will befall the owner?
34441Then your advice would be to resume my search in Florida?
34441Think you can get it?
34441Think you can shoot copy fast, or will you need Jerry to take over?
34441Think you ought to go out to the monastery alone at night?
34441This is n''t a mental institution?
34441To ski or to investigate the monastery?
34441To what''present course''do you refer?
34441Want a lift home, Dad?
34441Want somethin''?
34441Want to come along, Dad?
34441Warn me?
34441Warning?
34441Well, how do you like that?
34441Well, how do you like that?
34441Well, what goes on here?
34441Well?
34441What about Old Julia?
34441What about that Parker girl?
34441What are you trying to do? 34441 What can be happening in there?"
34441What could I prove? 34441 What did you call me for?"
34441What did you learn?
34441What did you think of Old Julia?
34441What do they show?
34441What do you say?
34441What does the doctor think?
34441What excuse have you got for stealing my wood?
34441What have we here?
34441What have you found?
34441What if he does n''t come back?
34441What if the old lady holds out?
34441What is this? 34441 What is?"
34441What mystery?
34441What time you leaving?
34441What was that noise, Julia?
34441What was that?
34441What will we do?
34441What wind?
34441What would you like to know about the future?
34441What''ll we do, boss?
34441What''s it to you?
34441What''s she saying?
34441What''s that for?
34441What''s that over there by the fountain?
34441What''s that?
34441What''s this thing?
34441What''s wrong, Winkey?
34441What''s wrong, Winkey?
34441Where did Father Benedict go?
34441Where is Rhoda?
34441Where is it kept?
34441Where is it?
34441Where is she to be sent?
34441Where is the girl now? 34441 Where is the girl''s room?"
34441Where is the key?
34441Where is your contribution?
34441Where is your master?
34441Where?
34441Where?
34441Where?
34441Which dock?
34441Who are you?
34441Who are you?
34441Who does he think he is, anyhow?
34441Who has the sapphire now?
34441Who is it?
34441Who is she, I wonder?
34441Who is there?
34441Who is there?
34441Who is this gentleman?
34441Who were those men?
34441Whoever heard of a bed of any kind in a chapel?
34441Why did he shut you up here?
34441Why did you bring me here?
34441Why did you go to Chicago?
34441Why do n''t I make the most of it?
34441Why do n''t we try, just for luck? 34441 Why do n''t you go on in?"
34441Why does n''t she come to me?
34441Why have you been gone so long? 34441 Why is the room so cold?
34441Why not?
34441Why not?
34441Why otherwise, would she refuse to tell her name?
34441Why should we be?
34441Why, what do you mean?
34441Why?
34441Will they indeed? 34441 Will we pass the river docks on this road?"
34441Will you go now, or do you want me to call the master?
34441Will you keep my secret?
34441Will you keep quiet if I release you?
34441Will you tell, or shall I go for your grandmother?
34441Wonder if Dad''s still at the office?
34441Wonder if I''ll ever come to the same pass she''s in? 34441 Wonder if he could have thought he was to meet me at the monastery?"
34441Wonder if the_ Riverview Star_ carried any mention of a police investigation at the river?
34441Wonder what''s keeping him in Chicago?
34441Would you care to see for yourself?
34441Yes?
34441You ai n''t here just to snoop around?
34441You are suggesting this woman may have joined my little flock?
34441You called me, boss?
34441You can, but will you?
34441You do n''t mean I have a serious, incurable disease?
34441You goin''to let her get by with it?
34441You have another job?
34441You live near here?
34441You mean we''re going without the sapphire?
34441You mean you got the gem, boss?
34441You mean you wish to do exterior scenes?
34441You rang?
34441You remember I ran away?
34441You say Father Benedict sent some food? 34441 You say we''ll come out in the churchyard?"
34441You say you took nothing from them?
34441You think that would stop me?
34441You think we got him hid somewheres?
34441You tried to tell me what?
34441You''re Mrs. Hawthorne, are n''t you?
34441You''re not afraid to go alone?
34441You''re not afraid to keep such treasures in the monastery?
34441You''re really convinced he is a crook?
34441Your father sent you here, perhaps?
34441Your property?
34441_ Under_ it?
34441A man of his calling?"
34441After the door had closed behind the pair, Penny said in a low tone:"Wonder what''s up?
34441And now my little one, what do you see?"
34441And what can I prove?"
34441And what of Rhoda in the chapel bedroom?
34441And why had she taken refuge beneath the river docks?
34441And why has n''t he returned to Riverview as he said he would?"
34441And yours?"
34441Anyway, what connection could his absence have with this monastery?"
34441Are you sure the girl has skipped?"
34441Ayling?"
34441Ayling?"
34441Ayling?"
34441But can I prove anything?"
34441But how?"
34441But she replied steadily:"What of it?
34441But what charity?
34441But what is this?
34441But what of justice?"
34441By the way, how did you and Mr. Ayling make out this afternoon at the monastery?"
34441By the way, what did you think of him?"
34441Ca n''t I telephone Dad somewhere?"
34441Ca n''t you trick him or something?"
34441Can you bring your master?"
34441Debating no longer, Penny thrust her head through the window opening and called:"Want a ride?"
34441Did she get away or is she still here?"
34441Did you catch Winkey and that cruel Jay Highland?"
34441Do n''t you know where your master keeps them?"
34441Do you really believe in those crystal ball readings?"
34441Do you suppose he abuses her?"
34441Eckenrod?"
34441Eckenrod?"
34441Eckenrod?"
34441Father Benedict denied that she was, did n''t he?"
34441For instance, who sent Mr. Ayling the fake telegram?
34441Giving Julia a hard shake, he demanded:"She got in through the window?"
34441Had her imagination played tricks upon her?
34441Had someone stepped on a loose board as he crept along the passageway?
34441Hawthorne?"
34441Hawthorne?"
34441How can I get them off?"
34441How did you ever meet Father Benedict anyhow?"
34441I ask you, what would any sensible person want with a freight lift in a bedroom?"
34441I wonder if it was Father Benedict?"
34441Instead, he demanded gruffly:"What you doin''on this property?"
34441Is it safe?"
34441Is there anything else you wish to know?
34441May I come sometime soon to watch a ceremony?"
34441May we warm ourselves at your fire before we start back to town?"
34441Merkill?"
34441Now what do you see?"
34441Now where is it?"
34441Or had she merely heard the old house groaning to itself?
34441Or was it a chill?
34441Over the fence?"
34441Ready?"
34441Riverview people?"
34441Shall we test and prove its powers?"
34441She and her grandmother are imprisoned also?"
34441She must make every effort to save her-- but how?
34441So you propose to make trouble?"
34441Standing motionless against the closet door, she recognized Father Benedict''s voice as he spoke to Julia:"What are you doing here?"
34441That''s the name of the closest place, is n''t it?"
34441The doc said it was n''t broken, did n''t he?
34441Was it imagination or had she heard a low moan?
34441What could she give?
34441What did Father Benedict intend to do with her?
34441What has happened?"
34441What kept you here so long?"
34441What machinery did he mean?
34441What made the cat howl?"
34441What now?"
34441What of those screams we heard?"
34441What''s that awful pounding?"
34441Where can I find one?"
34441Where does the money go?"
34441Where is the suitcase now?"
34441Where is this place?"
34441Where was he before he came to Riverview?"
34441Who is he, anyhow?"
34441Who is she, and where does she keep herself?"
34441Who is she?"
34441Who was she?
34441Why do n''t you forget the place, Penny?"
34441Why had he locked her in this particular room?
34441Why not do a little exploring while Father Benedict is away?"
34441Why not visit there again soon?"
34441Why was it originally installed in the chapel?"
34441Why were you carrying a suitcase that night Louise and I met you on the road?"
34441Wonder who owns the place anyhow?"
34441Work up a case of nerves?"
34441You assigned her to the room with the canopied bed?"
34441You suggest that I give it to your society?"
34441You will excuse me?"
34441Your father know you''re going?"
34441_ Who was the eleventh person in this household that was served tonight?_""Do n''t ask me,"moaned Old Julia.
34403''Anna and Harry Clark to Lydia Goldwein, Lydia Goldwein to Benjamin Bowman--''"What was that name?
34403A board of directors confab perhaps?
34403A disagreement?
34403A gray car?
34403A nice fat chicken?
34403About ready?
34403About what, Penny?
34403Afterwards you''ll ask for Blake''s arrest?
34403All of the messages collect?
34403And is this your charming daughter?
34403And just what do you expect to learn?
34403And no strings attached?
34403And now you''ve gone back to your old trade?
34403And what if I have? 34403 And who is Ben Bowman?"
34403And you believe the Hoods may be connected with the Cooperative?
34403Any idea who the other members of the outfit may be?
34403Any real information?
34403Anything else?
34403Anyway, what do you hope to discover in an old barn?
34403Are n''t walls supposed to come together at the corners?
34403Are we expected to capture Clem Davis with our bare hands and turn him over to the authorities?
34403Are you Seth McGuire?
34403Are you afraid to tell what you know?
34403Are you making up that name?
34403As easy as that?
34403At a very high price?
34403Ben Bowman''s telegram?
34403Besides, did n''t the sheriff uncover proof that Clem Davis is a member of the organization?
34403Bowman?
34403But how are we to find him?
34403But how often does he get an order?
34403But tell me, Mr. McGuire, do you find this work more interesting than taking care of the Clock Tower?
34403But tell me, how do you expect to complete this deal? 34403 But why drive so far?"
34403But why give it to me?
34403But why wait? 34403 But you wo n''t give me any old boiled potatoes, will you?
34403By whom, Dad? 34403 Ca n''t he get damages?"
34403Ca n''t you relax?
34403Ca n''t you tell where you were at the time of the fire?
34403Call my paper yellow, eh? 34403 Can it be arranged?"
34403Can transportation be arranged? 34403 Can you tell us what he looks like?"
34403Can you tell?
34403Carrying any shrubs, plants or fruit?
34403Clem Davis?
34403Clem, you heard the Hubell clock strike the hour?
34403Could it have been Mrs. Preston who notified you?
34403Could the owner of the place identify you?
34403Dad, did you ever hear of an organization such as Mrs. Preston mentioned?
34403Dad, did you hear what they said?
34403Dad, do you think it was Clem who set fire to the Preston barn?
34403Dad, if the fire was set only a few minutes ago, does n''t that support my theory?
34403Dad, is it all settled that the camp board will purchase Mr. Blake''s land?
34403Did I do anything I should n''t have? 34403 Did it really sound all right?"
34403Did n''t he pay you to allow him to use your name on a deed?
34403Did n''t three hours at the moving picture theatre satisfy you?
34403Did n''t you ever hear a clock strike the wrong number?
34403Did n''t you have the barn insured?
34403Did n''t you hear a horse come into the yard?
34403Did you ever notice it before?
34403Did you know there is a child locked inside your shop?
34403Did you notice that man who pulled Adelle from the water?
34403Did you notice the flower beds?
34403Did you?
34403Did your trouble start because you and your husband refused to join the Holloway Cooperative?
34403Do n''t you ever read the_ Star_?
34403Do n''t you remember? 34403 Do the papers seem to be all right?"
34403Do you ever have any failures?
34403Do you have any idea who John Toby may be?
34403Do you mean Clyde Blake, the real estate man?
34403Do you mind answering a few questions?
34403Do you realize that you may be liable to arrest?
34403Do you still think that mechanical creature has supernatural powers?
34403Do you think Blake will bring the man to Riverview?
34403Do you think I could do it?
34403Do you think there actually is such an organization as the Black Hoods, Jerry?
34403Does Mr. Toby drive a red truck?
34403Does it take a long while to finish a bell after it''s been poured?
34403Does n''t every piece of land in the world belong to someone?
34403Does n''t it seem to you that the evidence was almost too plain?
34403Does that satisfy you?
34403Does the clock strike wrong every night?
34403Does your husband have any enemies?
34403Ever hear of any night riders in this community?
34403Everything set?
34403Excuse me,she addressed him,"did I understand you to say that a man by the name of Ben Bowman forged a cheque?"
34403For instance?
34403Fresh eggs?
34403From now on, I suppose you''ll go around asking everyone you meet:''Where were you at midnight of the thirteenth?''
34403Hank Holloway around here?
34403Has a big story broken, Dad?
34403Has a red truck loaded with cantaloupes gone through here tonight?
34403Has any new evidence come to light, Dad?
34403Has it never occurred to you that Charley Phelps may be connected with the Hoods?
34403Has it occurred to you that if we fail, we''ll probably breakfast at the police station?
34403Have n''t you caused enough trouble?
34403Have the tracks ended?
34403Have you any for sale?
34403Have you called a fire company?
34403Having trouble, sister?
34403He''ll profit by the sale?
34403Hear anything?
34403How about drowning your troubles in a little sleep?
34403How about it?
34403How about the crated melons?
34403How about the lights?
34403How could I know he was so touchy?
34403How could he run away?
34403How could we tell they did n''t mean to rob that other man?
34403How could you have refused, Dad?
34403How could you help me?
34403How did that happen, Dad?
34403How did that happen?
34403How did the accident occur?
34403How did you guess?
34403How do you account for the depredation that''s been going on around here lately? 34403 How do you make a bell anyway?"
34403How do you mean?
34403How do you tell about the tone?
34403How in the world did she get locked in Mr. McGuire''s shop?
34403How long will it be before you''ll have a final report, Dad?
34403How many strokes were there?
34403How many times would you say it struck at midnight? 34403 How much was the message?"
34403How will that be?
34403How?
34403Hungry, Dad?
34403I see,Penny murmured,"you would like the news kept out of the_ Star_?"
34403I take it you have a pretty fair idea who it was that came here tonight?
34403I wonder if Mr. McGuire has been well?
34403I wonder which property it is?
34403If you could gain proof that night riders are operating in this community, what then?
34403If your husband has n''t been here since early evening, who has ridden this horse?
34403Inside a building?
34403Is Adelle easily frightened?
34403Is Dad buying property?
34403Is Mr. Toby a regular dealer?
34403Is Phelps a member?
34403Is he acting as your real estate agent?
34403Is n''t it possible that someone could have tried to throw the blame on Clem?
34403Is that what you were doing?
34403Is that why we''re going to Claymore?
34403Is there any chance she could have been kidnaped?
34403It''s sort of like making a gelatin pudding, is n''t it?
34403Join some organization, you mean?
34403Just how would you arrange to have the clock strike thirteen?
34403Just how?
34403Know anything about the man?
34403Looking for hoof tracks?
34403Mind if we accompany you?
34403Miss Anderson, is n''t there something I can do to make amends?
34403Mr. Blake seemed rather eager to dispose of the land, did n''t he?
34403Mr. Davis, tell me, who is the head man of the Hoods?
34403Mr. McGuire, what would cause the clock to strike wrong?
34403Mrs. Preston, do you know of any reason why you and your husband might be made the target of such cowardly action?
34403Mrs. Weems,Penny persisted,"did you actually count the strokes?"
34403Muddled?
34403My dear, what do you mean?
34403Nice looking place, is n''t it?
34403No onions for the little lady?
34403Now what do you want to know?
34403Now what is the meaning of this?
34403Now what seems to be the trouble?
34403Now what?
34403Oh, ca n''t we have the party at night?
34403On your way home, Lou?
34403One of those six boys?
34403Or are you spoofing your old Dad?
34403Or would you say three?
34403Pardon my ignorance,laughed Penny,"but what in the world is the striking train?"
34403Penny, do you realize what all this is costing us?
34403Penny, how would you like to write the story?
34403Penny, will you call him over?
34403Ready for what?
34403Say, what are you trying to do anyhow-- start stories so I''ll lose my job?
34403Say, where are you taking me anyway?
34403Says who?
34403See anyone?
34403Shall I make it out for a hundred and fifty dollars?
34403Shall I put it in a sack for you?
34403Shall we buy tickets to the play?
34403So what?
34403So you''ve notified the police?
34403Sure, what are we waiting for?
34403Tell me, what is the name of this disreputable organization? 34403 Tell me, why did you decide to break your connection with the Hoods?"
34403Thanks to whom?
34403That so?
34403That so?
34403That you, Clem Davis?
34403That''s right,agreed the editor,"Looking for Clem Davis?"
34403The car is n''t by chance a gray one?
34403The caretaker at the Hubell Clock Tower?
34403Then could n''t he prove it?
34403Then in whose name is it?
34403Then why allow your personal feelings to interfere with the deal?
34403Then why does the board consider it?
34403Then why not ask Mr. Blake to do it?
34403Then why not do something about it?
34403Then why not go to Claymore?
34403Then you do n''t agree with me that the caretaker of the Tower may have some connection with the Hoods, Dad?
34403Then you do n''t own property in this city?
34403Then you think he wants to convict Clem Davis whether or not he''s guilty?
34403Then you''re intending to make it into a big story?
34403They fell from the truck, did n''t they?
34403This is n''t true?
34403This night letter is to be sent to Anthony Parker?
34403Want to look?
34403Was Clem Davis arrested last night?
34403Was it an accident or done deliberately?
34403Was n''t there any clue as to the identity of the man who caused the fatal accident?
34403Was the man anyone you knew?
34403Well, I do n''t know?
34403Well, do n''t you think it''s a good idea?
34403Well, what about it?
34403Well, what do you see, Sherlock?
34403Well, what do you think of the job?
34403Well?
34403Were you able to see his face?
34403What about them?
34403What about''em?
34403What are we supposed to do now?
34403What are you getting at?
34403What are you talking about anyhow?
34403What became of your new car?
34403What can I do for you?
34403What clue?
34403What connection did you have with the Hoods? 34403 What d''you mean, cooperate?"
34403What d''you mean, depredation?
34403What d''you mean, liable to arrest?
34403What d''you mean?
34403What did bring you here then?
34403What did you learn?
34403What did you really think of him, Jerry?
34403What do you burn in this smoke machine? 34403 What do you expect to accomplish by such a stupid trick?
34403What do you make of it?
34403What do you mean by that, Holloway?
34403What do you mean by that?
34403What do you mean, Penny?
34403What do you think will happen to him, Dad?
34403What do you want to know about him?
34403What do you want to know?
34403What do you want?
34403What does Mr. Adams think about that, Dad?
34403What does Mr. Blake think about the investigation?
34403What does he have to say, Dad?
34403What happened to them?
34403What has happened?
34403What is it?
34403What is strange?
34403What is this?
34403What is this?
34403What makes you think Seth will adopt the orphan?
34403What makes you think that?
34403What may I do for you?
34403What name did he use?
34403What nonsense is this?
34403What time did Davis promise to meet you?
34403What time was that?
34403What time will you be going, Jerry?
34403What was that?
34403What will you do with the charm? 34403 What will you do, Dad?"
34403What would the little girl like? 34403 What you wanting him for anyhow?"
34403What''s our next move, Dad?
34403What''s our next move?
34403What''s so crazy about it?
34403What''s that?
34403What''s that?
34403What''s the big idea, Penny?
34403What''s the latest on the Preston case?
34403What''s the matter, Dad?
34403What''s the use trying anyhow? 34403 What''s this?"
34403What''s this?
34403What''s to be gained by waiting?
34403What''s up now, Penny?
34403What''s your next move, Dad? 34403 When did the call come?"
34403When do we eat?
34403When you receive the next shipment, will you notify me?
34403Where are we going to throw this party?
34403Where are you taking me anyhow?
34403Where are you?
34403Where did they get their proof?
34403Where did you get it, Penny?
34403Where does the man live?
34403Where is the Master? 34403 Where now?"
34403Where''s Charley?
34403Where''s Dad?
34403Which in your estimation explains everything?
34403Which theory? 34403 Which way did the fellow go?"
34403Which way did the men go?
34403Which way did the truck go?
34403Who actually owns the property, Dad?
34403Who are these Hoods?
34403Who are you anyhow?
34403Who called this meeting?
34403Who ever heard of such a thing?
34403Who is he?
34403Who is it?
34403Who is the man?
34403Who is there?
34403Who said anything about bein''afraid?
34403Who was that man?
34403Who''s there?
34403Who''s there?
34403Who''s there?
34403Who?
34403Who?
34403Why are you so willing to help me, as you say?
34403Why bother to remain home even for meals?
34403Why did n''t you ask him to take one?
34403Why did she do that, Dad?
34403Why did you do it?
34403Why did you run away?
34403Why do n''t you join a stunt circus?
34403Why do n''t you try the Wentover place?
34403Why do you say that?
34403Why do you suppose Mr. Blake has taken such a sudden interest in the Home?
34403Why do you think the fellow is Bowman?
34403Why not devote yourself to the great mystery of the Hubell clock? 34403 Why not give a party?
34403Why not go inside and ask him if that''s his name?
34403Why not look it up for yourself?
34403Why not pelt them with melons when they get closer?
34403Why not smash the window, or saw a hole through the wall?
34403Why not test what he told us?
34403Why not? 34403 Why not?"
34403Why should anyone wish to make trouble for Mr. Doolittle, Jerry? 34403 Why unfortunate?"
34403Why worry about that?
34403Why, Dad, what''s wrong?
34403Why, did n''t you?
34403Will the board listen to you, Dad?
34403Will you meet him here tomorrow night at this same hour?
34403Wo n''t they be burned?
34403Wo n''t you keep thinking about it?
34403Would it require long to get there?
34403Would n''t you like a little girl?
34403Would n''t you say someone deliberately had blocked out the old marking?
34403Would your wife let me?
34403Yet you act as his agent?
34403You a personal friend of Seth''s?
34403You dared to take a picture without my permission?
34403You do know the man?
34403You do n''t mean at the Hubell Tower?
34403You do n''t mean the fire deliberately was set?
34403You feel that the site is a suitable one, and the price right?
34403You have no idea who the man may be?
34403You intend to trace those stolen melons?
34403You learned who drove the hit- run car?
34403You mean his hint that something might happen to Mrs. Davis''crop?
34403You really mean it?
34403You saw his face?
34403You say the meetings usually are held on the thirteenth of the month?
34403You think Davis did n''t burn the Preston barn?
34403You want to help your husband, do n''t you?
34403You were n''t able to learn the name of the head man?
34403You would n''t swear he was Clem Davis?
34403You''re not aiming to write up anything I''ve told you for the paper?
34403You''re not going to withhold the information from the public?
34403You''re referring to the Holloway Cooperative, Jerry?
34403You''re willing to testify to that?
34403You''ve been warned?
34403And what''s become of Charley?"
34403Any complaints?"
34403Ben Bowman?"
34403Blake?"
34403Blake?"
34403But the question is, will it bring the Hoods here?"
34403But what can we do?"
34403But who can guarantee I''ll not be made to pay?"
34403But why go into all the details now?
34403By the way, Dad, how long will it take to learn the owner of that automobile license plate that Clem Davis gave us?"
34403By the way, what are you doing around here, Parker?"
34403CHAPTER 10_ IN THE MELON PATCH_"Which way did the fellow go?"
34403CHAPTER 21_ A BROKEN PROMISE_"You want me to take you to the abandoned car now?"
34403Ca n''t you do something about it, Dad?"
34403Ca n''t you take it any more?"
34403Candy, toys?"
34403Davis?"
34403Davis?"
34403Did n''t Mr. Davis return home last night?"
34403Do n''t you realize what time it is?"
34403Do n''t you remember telling Mrs. Van Cleve of the Woman''s Club that we would help sell tags today, for the Orphans''Home summer camp?"
34403Do n''t you see, Dad?
34403Do you expect to print anything about it in the paper?"
34403Her suspicions not entirely allayed, she demanded:"Sheriff Daniels did n''t send you out here?"
34403How about it?"
34403How can that be?"
34403How did you get in there?"
34403How many are we to sell?"
34403How many do you want?"
34403How''s that?"
34403I wonder what made him run away?"
34403I wonder why?"
34403In that case, who rode the mare?"
34403Is n''t there anything we can do?"
34403Is that what you have in mind?"
34403Is there any law against it?
34403Kerosene?"
34403May I ask why I am honored with a visit at this hour?"
34403May I send her to the Home in my car?"
34403Perhaps you would like to contribute to the orphans''camp fund?"
34403Then would you go before the Grand Jury?"
34403Think you can remember the face?"
34403Trying to keep her voice casual, she observed:"Do n''t you think it would be wise for your husband to give himself up?
34403Turn it over to the sheriff?"
34403WHY DON''T YOU TAKE THAT AMERICAN FLAG OFF YOUR MASTHEAD AND SUBSTITUTE A CASH REGISTER?
34403Want to ride along as ballast?"
34403Were you a member of the organization?"
34403What can it mean?"
34403What is its purpose, and the names of the men who run it?"
34403What is the real purpose of the organization?"
34403What now?"
34403What put you on Davis''trail?"
34403What was that?"
34403What will everyone think?"
34403What you aimin''to lay onto him, Sheriff?"
34403What''s he wanted for anyway?"
34403When is the camp to open?"
34403Where do we start our business operations?"
34403Who would you say is behind it?"
34403Why did you lock me inside?"
34403Why not devote yourself to something worthwhile?"
34403Why not print it on yellow paper?
34403Why should I interfere in a matter which is none of my affair?"
34403Why should I?
34403Will Bowman come here to sign the necessary papers?"
34403Will you expose Clyde Blake in tomorrow''s_ Star_?"
34403Will you see John Toby again?"
34403Without moving from the door, she inquired:"Oh, by the way, what happened to the clock last night?"
34403Would it be possible for me to see the cheque?"
34403Would that be permissible, Miss Anderson?"
34403Yet as their car sped down a dimly lighted street, Penny revived sufficiently to say:"How about a steak at Toni''s, Dad?"
34403You''re Parker of the_ Riverview Star_?"
34403the sheriff inquired, and as she nodded, he asked:"Clem around here?"
34689A raft? 34689 A safe arrival in port?"
34689A special joke of yours, Penelope?
34689A what?
34689About Rhoda?
34689About the rent?
34689After discovering those loose bricks, you''ll just forget about them?
34689All of which leads you to conclude--?
34689All rocks are pretty much alike, are n''t they?
34689All true,Penny conceded,"but could n''t someone have employed him?
34689Am I?
34689And did you grant Rhoda''s second wish?
34689And people will pay money to see them?
34689And the meaning of the conversation?
34689And then how will I get out of it?
34689And then what?
34689And what is he doing?
34689And why did she turn the members of the Pilgrimage Committee away?
34689And why did they come all the way from Texas to see Rhoda and Ted?
34689Anything new about Jay Franklin and those record stones he hopes to sell to the museum?
34689Anything?
34689Are any of the bricks loose?
34689Are n''t you Truman Crocker?
34689Are n''t you becoming quite studious of late?
34689Are n''t you forgetting something?
34689Are n''t you going in the wrong direction?
34689Are these the Breen youngsters?
34689Are those two men still in town?
34689Are you coming?
34689Are you sure you did n''t do it yourself?
34689As president of the organization, could n''t you arrange it?
34689Because the place is n''t fixed up?
34689But how could the necklace be secreted there?
34689But if it is, who planted the stone on Gleason''s farm? 34689 But is n''t it funny she never invites us into the house?"
34689But now that I think of it, why would n''t he be a logical person to do such a trick?
34689But what can it be?
34689But what can she be doing at the well?
34689But what is your wish, Penny?
34689But where does Jay Franklin figure in, Dad? 34689 But where is the furniture?"
34689But why should anyone be prowling about Mrs. Marborough''s place at this hour?
34689But why?
34689But would she be willing to stay?
34689Buying them off?
34689By opening my home for the Pilgrimage?
34689By the way, how were Mr. Coaten and Carl Addison trapped? 34689 Ca n''t we all help you?"
34689Ca n''t you just see that special edition of the_ Star_?
34689Ca n''t you just see the place with beaux and their ladies dancing a quadrille?
34689Ca n''t you write to Texas and inquire about him and his friend?
34689Can she type or take shorthand?
34689Can we drive down there?
34689Can you tell who it is?
34689Dad, you do n''t think Mr. Kaleman will be foolish enough to pay money for that rock?
34689Dad,Penny went on determinedly,"if we could make a heavy raft, could n''t the stone be floated?
34689Did Mrs. Marborough sell you something?
34689Did any of you recognize him?
34689Did n''t she tell you where?
34689Did you ask for the second one, Rhoda?
34689Did you bring the flashlight?
34689Did you ever notice this rock?
34689Did you have anything to do with getting her brother, Ted, a job?
34689Did you know such a rock was there?
34689Did you say_ two_ baskets of food were left?
34689Did you see a boy come through here?
34689Did you see it yourself?
34689Did you see that?
34689Do I have your permission to leave the house?
34689Do museum authorities consider the writing authentic?
34689Do n''t you ever patronize a filling station?
34689Do n''t you get it?
34689Do n''t you have any manners?
34689Do n''t you remember us?
34689Do n''t you remember? 34689 Do n''t you understand?"
34689Do n''t you want to see the show, Dad?
34689Do we consider ourselves experts?
34689Do we need additional evidence to hold these men?
34689Do you care to hear what Jay Franklin did?
34689Do you know the location of the property?
34689Do you know who he was?
34689Do you really think you could take me in at your place?
34689Do you suppose Franklin had any part in hiring Truman Crocker to fake those record stones?
34689Do you suppose Mrs. Marborough is here?
34689Do you think wishes really do come true?
34689Does your company pay for them?
34689Driving into Riverview?
34689Eight- thirty?
34689Excuse me,she called eagerly,"do you buy old bottles?"
34689Find anything?
34689Forgetting what?
34689Found what?
34689Friends of his?
34689Friends of yours?
34689Happy?
34689Have n''t I been punished enough?
34689Have n''t you heard about it, Louise? 34689 Have you found anything?"
34689He confessed to the theft of the necklace?
34689Her poverty, perhaps?
34689How about a trip out to Mrs. Marborough''s tomorrow night?
34689How about the good deed?
34689How about the other papers? 34689 How about those apples?"
34689How are you going to do it?
34689How are you?
34689How could it be?
34689How could one remove the bricks without hiring a workman?
34689How could such a stone turn up at Riverview?
34689How did I know you was ever coming back?
34689How did the accident occur?
34689How did you ruin your clothes?
34689How do we get there?
34689How do you account for two types of carving on the same stone?
34689How do you feel this morning?
34689How is the sound brought into the house?
34689How will we ever explain this?
34689How will you ever get the stone on it?
34689How?
34689I do n''t mind the trip,her chum said,"but why are you so interested in an old rock?"
34689I have my trap all ready to spring, but if this horrid rain keeps up, how can you meet Mr. Coaten by the well?
34689I suppose you know why I am here again?
34689I suppose you looked under the flagstones?
34689I take it that Bill McJavins did n''t break down and confess all?
34689I wonder who they can be?
34689I wonder why I did n''t think of it sooner?
34689If it''s such an old rock why was it never discovered before?
34689If no one in the Palette Club prepared the basket, then who did do it?
34689If the experts ca n''t agree, then how can one prove anything?
34689If there''s something hidden in or around the well, why does n''t she have a workman make a thorough search?
34689In case you slip and fall, just what am I to do?
34689Is Mr. Coaten an old friend?
34689Is Rhoda Wiegand here?
34689Is he married?
34689Is it as handsome as folks say?
34689Is it true that wishes made there have come true?
34689Is n''t it fun?
34689Is n''t that for Mrs. Marborough to decide?
34689Is n''t there enough breeze to carry us around?
34689Is she going to back out again?
34689Is that so?
34689Is that the show''s publicity agent?
34689Is that why they came here?
34689Is this where Mrs. Marborough lives?
34689Is your father here?
34689It''s nice, is n''t it?
34689Jerry, do you mind if I go along with you?
34689Jump out and pull us in, will you please?
34689Just how will it help the show?
34689Just why does the stone have historical value?
34689Lou, why did Mrs. Marborough return to Riverview after being away so many years?
34689May I ask why you have broken into my house?
34689May we light all the candles at one time?
34689May we sit down somewhere?
34689More stew?
34689Mr. Franklin, have you a cheque book?
34689Must I give you a diagram?
34689Must we climb that steep hill?
34689Must you stand there gawking?
34689No?
34689Not go closer?
34689Now what is it that you wish to tell me?
34689Now what possessed Rhoda?
34689Of course Mrs. Weems said it would be all right to fix the basket of food?
34689Off to the library again?
34689Oh that?
34689Oh, by the way, what did Mrs. Weems say about last night''s little episode?
34689Or for that matter, any other person?
34689Ought we bother Mrs. Marborough now?
34689Penelope, will you wait a moment please?
34689Penny, does n''t it seem strange?
34689Penny, must we go through with this?
34689Penny, where are you going now?
34689Progress toward what?
34689Real ones?
34689Remember that first day we peeped into the house through the window?
34689Remember that silk ladder I acquired when I helped police capture Al Gepper and his slippery pals?
34689Remember the big story you wrote for the_ Riverview Star_ which was titled:_ The Clock Strikes Thirteen_?
34689Rhoda,said the judge, turning to her,"did your father own land in Texas?"
34689Rose Acres is n''t in danger?
34689Say, what is this?
34689Say, what is this?
34689Sealed?
34689Secret?
34689Selfish?
34689Shall we go upstairs, or back the way we came?
34689Shall we go?
34689Shall we stop and say hello?
34689Should we leave the basket on the doorstep or wait until they''ve gone?
34689So the Breens are friends of yours?
34689So you propose to go out to the shack today and appropriate a tool?
34689So you want me to dive in and drown myself?
34689Something hidden during the Civil War?
34689Strong arm methods?
34689Ted is accepting?
34689Tell me, why did you go to the house?
34689That was the wish you made at the well, I believe?
34689That''s what I had in mind, but of course--"When is the Festival?
34689The Breens were kind enough to take you in when you had no friends, so why not stay on with them?
34689The adoption? 34689 The aging could n''t have been faked?"
34689The roof of the well?
34689The stone could n''t have been faked?
34689Then of course you''ll not agree to the adoption?
34689Then why do you not ask Mrs. Marborough that question?
34689Then you have decided to make your home here?
34689Then you intend to leave Riverview?
34689Then you received the necklace?
34689Then, in their opinion the stone is an authentic one?
34689This is n''t it?
34689To what do you attribute it?
34689True, but did n''t she tell us that whether or not she remains here depends upon certain conditions? 34689 Want a drink?"
34689Want me to steer for awhile?
34689Was he?
34689Was that all?
34689Well, what can I do for you?
34689Were you able to see his face, Rhoda?
34689Were you responsible for sending a basket of food to Rhoda''s people?
34689What are we going to tell him, Pop?
34689What are you going to tell him Rhoda?
34689What are you trying to get at?
34689What are you young''uns doing here?
34689What became of the pearls?
34689What brings you two news hawks here?
34689What can this mean?
34689What can you hope to find down in that well?
34689What car? 34689 What could it be?"
34689What did he say?
34689What did you make of that?
34689What do you do with the rock after you finish working on it?
34689What do you see, Penny?
34689What do you see?
34689What do you suppose it can be?
34689What do you want?
34689What does it mean?
34689What does she expect to find?
34689What does this X on the map represent?
34689What expert, Dad?
34689What for? 34689 What good would it do?"
34689What have you done now?
34689What have you done to yourself?
34689What is it, Penny?
34689What is it?
34689What is it?
34689What is this for?
34689What is this?
34689What is, Penny?
34689What is?
34689What light, Penny?
34689What ought we to do?
34689What shall we tell her?
34689What was the verdict, Dad?
34689What was the wish?
34689What were you saying about a discovery?
34689What will be done about Truman Crocker?
34689What will it be this time?
34689What will the Parker family eat tomorrow?
34689What will you do?
34689What would we have done without Mr. Coaten? 34689 What would you ask for this time?"
34689What''s it good for?
34689What''s news and why?
34689What''s our next move? 34689 What''s that?"
34689What''s that?
34689What''s the idea?
34689What''s the matter, Penny?
34689What''s the verdict?
34689What''s this?
34689What''s up?
34689Where do the Breens live, my child?
34689Where do you plan to go?
34689Where do you suppose this leads?
34689Where in the world are we?
34689Where is the old wishing well?
34689Where something may be hidden?
34689Where was I last night?
34689Where was that?
34689Where were the pearls hidden?
34689Where will we get the money?
34689Where?
34689Where?
34689Who can he be?
34689Who could have taken the pearls?
34689Who hired you?
34689Who is he, Penny?
34689Who is he?
34689Who is it?
34689Who is it?
34689Who wants to see a tangle of weeds?
34689Who was he?
34689Who were they?
34689Why are you so convinced it''s all a hoax?
34689Why ca n''t I talk to him in the library?
34689Why did n''t Mrs. Marborough invite us into the house?
34689Why do the girls dislike Rhoda?
34689Why do you awaken me at such an hour?
34689Why does n''t someone do something?
34689Why does she act that way?
34689Why in that particular place?
34689Why indeed?
34689Why not find out?
34689Why not get off here and let me drive you home in my car? 34689 Why not go by way of Mrs. Marborough''s place?"
34689Why not invite Rhoda too? 34689 Why not talk to Rhoda about it?"
34689Why not?
34689Why not?
34689Why should Mr. Crocker be interested in playing such a joke?
34689Why should an Indian show go to the trouble of having stones carved and planted in various fields? 34689 Why wo n''t you listen to reason?"
34689Why, yes, what about it?
34689Why?
34689Why?
34689Will I?
34689Will it be easier for you if I go with you to the camp?
34689Will she recondition the house?
34689Will you agree to it?
34689Will you have a cup of coffee with us?
34689Will you see Mr. Franklin tomorrow?
34689Will you take me to the spot where you found it?
34689Wo n''t you come in, please?
34689Wo n''t you come in?
34689Wonder if the old lady is at home?
34689Would it be very selfish of me?
34689Would it help to include this house in the Pilgrimage?
34689Would it seem more reasonable if I said that I stumbled and fell into a ditch?
34689Would n''t you think he would soon be flooded out?
34689Would n''t you want to know about it if someone were prowling about your premises?
34689Yes, I shall, and I''ve been wondering-- do you suppose Rhoda and Ted would be willing to live with me? 34689 Yes, but did she really mean it?"
34689You actually found a string of pearls?
34689You do n''t suppose Mrs. Marborough has ventured into the passageway?
34689You have n''t found them yet?
34689You have no property they might wish to control?
34689You intend to tell him who stole his chicken?
34689You live close by, do n''t you?
34689You saw the light, did n''t you?
34689You say he gave you two dollars for it?
34689You still believe the writing to be faked?
34689You were saying something about a rock which bears writing?
34689You''ll be home early?
34689You''ll remain in Riverview?
34689You''re preparing a basket of food to take out to the camp?
34689You''re really afraid to meet that man are n''t you?
34689You''re telling me to go?
34689You''ve seen another light in the yard perhaps?
34689Your Texas friends have left town?
34689Your pearls?
34689A late edition of the Star lay on the table, and she glanced carelessly at it, inquiring:"What''s new, Dad?"
34689Ai n''t it a pity she ca n''t see''em now?"
34689Am I right?"
34689And who would go to so much unnecessary work just to play a joke?"
34689Anyway, if Ted Wiegand had committed an illegal act, would n''t it be your duty to turn him over to the authorities?"
34689Are n''t they carrying the story either?"
34689Are n''t you being outrageously reckless?"
34689Are you all right?"
34689Are you sick?"
34689Are you sure?"
34689As it swung back a tiny crack, she called loudly:"Oh, Mrs. Marborough, are you at home?"
34689But at length Penny managed to inquire:"Mrs. Marborough, are you planning to open up your home again?
34689But what had brought the two men to Riverview?
34689But who could have known that she had the necklace here in the house?"
34689But who put the judge up to it?"
34689But why should Mr. Coaten be so interested in adopting Ted and me?
34689Butterworth?"
34689By the way, have you made any further progress in proving that Jay Franklin''s record stones are fakes?"
34689CHAPTER 4_ A RECORD ON ROCK_"What''ll we do?"
34689Can you tell me where it is?"
34689Could you tell me how to find them?"
34689Dare we move closer?"
34689Directing her gaze upon Mr. Coaten, Penny resumed:"May I ask why you are so eager to obtain a guardianship over Ted and Rhoda?
34689Do n''t you remember the sheet- draped furniture we saw?"
34689Do n''t you think I ever wash them?"
34689Do you realize what you''ve done?"
34689Do you remember those two Texas men I told you about?"
34689Do you see what I''ve been sitting on?"
34689Do you suppose he will sell it back to me?"
34689Do you think the writing on it is genuine?"
34689Franklin?"
34689Franklin?"
34689Franklin?"
34689Have your parents lived many years in Riverview?"
34689Home?"
34689How do you account for it?"
34689How long would it take you to get to town and back, Jerry?"
34689However, as Louise and Penny went to their seats, the latter whispered:"Who do you suppose left that second basket on the Breen doorstep?"
34689I wonder if they would still care to include Rose Acres in the tour of houses?"
34689I wonder--""You wonder what?"
34689If there had been anything valuable buried, would n''t she have done her searching long ago?"
34689If you could photograph it in this unfinished state, would n''t it tell its own story?"
34689If you have a knotty problem, why not test it on me?"
34689Is Judge Harlan really coming to the ball?"
34689Is n''t he the limit?"
34689Is n''t it rather late to pay a social call?"
34689Is n''t it worth a try?"
34689Is n''t there anything about that big stone Lou and I found at the Marborough place?"
34689Is she trying to repair it or what?"
34689It seemed ages before Louise thrust her head over the ledge and called softly:"Are you still there, pet?"
34689Marborough?"
34689Marborough?"
34689Marborough?"
34689Marborough?"
34689Marborough?"
34689Marborough?"
34689Mr. Franklin turned toward Mrs. Marborough to ask:"You would not object to the museum having this stone?"
34689Perhaps you have heard of the Marborough pearls?"
34689Shall I lift it for you so you can see the under side?"
34689She waited expectantly, and then as the other did not speak, inquired:"Just what scheme are you hatching now?"
34689Tell me, did you say your name is Rhoda?"
34689There was a slight pause and then Rhoda said:"Will you excuse me a moment, Mr. Coaten?
34689To Louise she added:"Why not come along with us?"
34689Was n''t Ananias a dreadful prevaricator?"
34689What became of it?"
34689What do you expect to gain by it?"
34689What men?"
34689What pleasure is it sitting in a wheel chair staring at a cracked wall?
34689What''s the matter you''re not eating?
34689When you girls went through it tonight, did you notice anything unusual?"
34689Who is hiding here?"
34689Who would expect it to be fixed up nicely after standing empty so many years?"
34689Why has Rhoda never been taken in as a member?
34689Why not come with us?"
34689Why would she do that?"
34689Would he do it?"
34689You actually have the courage to climb down into a well?"
34689You did n''t by chance write it, Penny?"
34689You do n''t suppose any of the members of the Palette Club did it, do you?
34975A clerk here?
34975A favorite?
34975A pay raise? 34975 A picture?
34975A quarrel, you mean?
34975A robbery?
34975All this time, did n''t you read the newspapers?
34975And Celeste?
34975And now?
34975And the missing bonds?
34975And the words,''This Shall be the End?''
34975And the writing beneath it?
34975And what do you suggest we do with the drum?
34975And what fee do you require?
34975And where did you get such a crazy idea that you will weaken and die?
34975And your stepfather has the drum now?
34975Antón? 34975 Any description?"
34975Any mistakes?
34975Any news?
34975Anything I can do?
34975Anything doing?
34975Anything new? 34975 Anything wrong?"
34975Are n''t you Hamilton Rhett?
34975Are you girls coming along?
34975Are you going back to the_ Star_ office?
34975Are you really strong enough to write a letter?
34975As it is--?
34975Big day, Penny?
34975But how did Celeste know of it? 34975 But why did you do it, Celeste?
34975But why should anyone seek to harm her?
34975But why should my stepfather build the passageway?
34975But you can describe the man?
34975By the way,Penny remarked as they approached the house,"do you know Albert Potts?"
34975Can nothing be done?
34975Can you blame them? 34975 Can you spare a match?"
34975Celeste and Antón are not members of the Zudi cult?
34975Celeste jerked me back to keep me from walking past it, did n''t she? 34975 Celeste, how did you know about this passage and cave?"
34975Celeste, why are you doing this cruel thing?
34975Charm?
34975Could this cottage have a secret panel?
34975Dad, can you see anyone hiding in the shrubbery?
34975Did Mother seem changed to you?
34975Did Rhett impress you as a man who might dabble in black magic practice to gain his ends?
34975Did he have much on him?
34975Did he look like a man who would walk off with$ 250,000 in bonds?
34975Did it ever occur to you that Celeste might deliberately be planting ideas in your mother''s mind?
34975Did n''t Albert Potts, the bank secretary, inform your mother that$ 250,000 in negotiable securities also had disappeared?
34975Did n''t Celeste suggest that idea to you? 34975 Did n''t you know the bonds were missing and that your wife was ill?"
34975Did something blow against the window?
34975Did they know the safe combination?
34975Did you close the door when you came out, Penny?
34975Did you draw a picture of a plumed serpent?
34975Did you leave it open?
34975Did you write anything as you sat there?
34975Do n''t you girls know better than to be running around at a time like this?
34975Do n''t you like it?
34975Do you believe in black magic?
34975Do you have any idea where your stepfather is now?
34975Do you have utter confidence in Antón and Celeste?
34975Do you hear that high- pitched drum which sounds above the others?
34975Do you suppose that thing burns all the time, Salt, or has someone just been here?
34975Do you think that hurricane really is heading our way?
34975Doctor Everett, you''ll come again tomorrow?
34975Does it mean nothing to you that Father brought you here, fed you, clothed you-- gave you many advantages?
34975Does n''t he look like the missing banker?
34975Drawing?
34975Figuring on cashing in?
34975For instance, what did Celeste mean when she spoke of the Zudi drum? 34975 From the_ Star_?
34975Fulton Street?
34975Gloomy old morgue, is n''t it?
34975Going across the way for a bite to eat?
34975Has the bicycle come yet, Ma?
34975Have n''t you any school work to do?
34975Have n''t you forgotten another important matter too?
34975Have you had anything to eat?
34975He and your mother always got on well together?
34975He was n''t robbing another bank?
34975He was quite a favorite with your stepfather, I suppose?
34975Hey, where''d that truck go?
34975How about the trophies at the thatched roof cottage? 34975 How are you going home, Penny?
34975How could it? 34975 How could one help knowing?
34975How did that thing get into this house, and what does it mean?
34975How did the match ends get on the stairway?
34975How did we leave it?
34975How did you cash the bonds?
34975How do I know if he''s still here? 34975 How do you feel, Mother?"
34975How do you know?
34975How do you suppose he can afford to come to such an expensive night club? 34975 How long ago was the cottage built, Lorinda?"
34975How was he dressed?
34975How?
34975Hungry?
34975I''m sorry to bother you,Lorinda went on,"but could you possibly come to our house right away?"
34975If he does show up, will you telephone me?
34975Is Mr. Potts here?
34975Is anything the matter?
34975Is anything wrong?
34975Is n''t anyone here?
34975Is she the Rhett girl?
34975Is that especially significant?
34975Is that man Ben Smith?
34975Is that the place?
34975Is there any news about the approaching storm?
34975It''s all very well for the professor to say''find the guilty party and fight him with his own weapons,''she declared,"but how can we do it?
34975Jake, seen anyone in here during the last hour?
34975Lorinda, why did you try to keep me from visiting it the other day?
34975Lorinda,she inquired,"is this room usually lighted?"
34975Lorinda?
34975May I ask your name?
34975May I go with you, Dad?
34975May we see your room register?
34975Me?
34975Mind if I tag along?
34975Miss Parker?
34975Missing bonds?
34975Missing bonds?
34975Mr. Potts, whatever possessed you to do it?
34975Mr. Rhett had enemies?
34975Mr. Rhett is a collector?
34975Mr. Rhett, why pretend?
34975Mrs. Rhett came to the bank the day your employer last was seen?
34975Must I give you a schedule of my life?
34975My stepfather''s secretary? 34975 Not scared, are you?"
34975Not there?
34975Now what became of Jerry?
34975Now what is all this stupidity about Mother dying a slow death?
34975Now what''s all this?
34975Now what?
34975Now who are you?
34975Now will you get out of here?
34975Now will you stop asking questions and go away?
34975Oh, Salt, should we?
34975Oh, dear, how will I make it when I have a thousand other things I''m supposed to do?
34975Oh, yes, who are they?
34975On Sunday?
34975Penny off the reservation again?
34975Penny, are n''t you indulging in a little wishful thinking? 34975 Penny, did I imagine it?"
34975Penny, what are you talking about?
34975Ready to go?
34975Remember those shots you took of the Governor that were printed in the rotogravure section?
34975Say, are they all deaf in there?
34975Say, are you crazy? 34975 See that man who just came in?"
34975Shall I wait?
34975Shall we turn back and try the other?
34975She''s here, is n''t she?
34975Silent partner?
34975So the family wo n''t talk?
34975So why worry about shutters?
34975So you believe Mr. Rhett may be somewhere in Riverview?
34975So you decided to notify the police?
34975So you know who I am?
34975So you quietly walked out?
34975So you took lodging in a cheap flop house on Cherry Street?
34975Steal my stepfather''s money? 34975 Sure you got the name right?"
34975Sure you saw Potts on the balcony?
34975Sure?
34975Surely you''re not superstitious?
34975That was before he married your mother?
34975That was yesterday, you say?
34975The cottage always is kept locked?
34975The men I met on the walk?
34975The police are n''t here?
34975Then actually it''s not a place of evil?
34975Then he had no money of his own?
34975Then he may have met foul play?
34975Then how did it get here?
34975Then how was the charm brought into the house?
34975Then it was your father who built the thatched roof cottage?
34975Then the_ Star_ will shut down too?
34975Then this drawing probably has a connection with your employer''s hobby?
34975Then what are we to do? 34975 Then what you pryin''around here for?"
34975Then where are you going, Dad? 34975 Then why does it seem so unusual now?"
34975Then why not get rid of her?
34975Then you actually were n''t here when the cottage was built? 34975 Then you believe he walked off with the bonds?"
34975Then you believe he''s been kidnapped?
34975Then you believe the storm actually may strike here?
34975Then you examined the desk?
34975Then your stepfather disappeared as a result of the quarrel?
34975To the river?
34975We were sent to get a story and pictures, were n''t we? 34975 Were n''t you at the Gay Nineties last night?"
34975What about''em, Penny?
34975What are you doing?
34975What are you going to do?
34975What are you trying to do?
34975What brought me? 34975 What brought you here?"
34975What can she do? 34975 What did the ticket man tell you, Penny?"
34975What do you advise, Professor?
34975What do you mean-- his private life?
34975What do you see? 34975 What do you suppose possessed Celeste to frighten me so?"
34975What do you think of the weather, captain?
34975What does the chest contain?
34975What have you there?
34975What is there to fear in two burnt matches tied with a string?
34975What is useless, Mother?
34975What of the serpent drawing found in your stepfather''s desk?
34975What section?
34975What seems to be the trouble?
34975What was he like?
34975What was that, Jerry?
34975What was that?
34975What were you saying about$ 250,000 in bonds, Lorinda?
34975What will your mother do?
34975What you want?
34975What''s coming off here?
34975What''s doing?
34975What''s inside?
34975What''s on your mind now?
34975What''s the bad news?
34975What''s the matter, son?
34975What''s the reward for his capture?
34975What''s this thing?
34975What''s this, Penny?
34975What''s wrong?
34975What''s your name?
34975Whatever gave you such an idea, Mother?
34975When did that happen, Penny?
34975When will it strike?
34975Where do you suppose this leads?
34975Where does this lead?
34975Where is Antón?
34975Where is it?
34975Where?
34975Which shall we take?
34975Which way did he go, Penny?
34975Who are the others?
34975Who are you anyhow?
34975Who are you?
34975Who could have lowered it? 34975 Who could have taken the will?"
34975Who owns the bonds?
34975Who told you all this lingo?
34975Who would know about the cottage except your stepfather? 34975 Why are you so reluctant to take anyone into your confidence?"
34975Why attach special significance to them?
34975Why did you build the passageway leading to the cave and to Celeste''s room?
34975Why did you do it?
34975Why do you ask, Penny?
34975Why do you say that?
34975Why do you seem to fear the police?
34975Why not wait outside, while I go up?
34975Why not?
34975Why so quiet, kitten?
34975Why spend all your spare time at that old newspaper?
34975Why trouble your little brain?
34975Why was n''t it reported earlier to the police?
34975Why were you listening?
34975Why would Hamilton Rhett hole in at a place like this?
34975Why, Penny, what did I do with it?
34975Why, may I ask?
34975Why?
34975Will it bite?
34975Will you come in and have a cup of chocolate?
34975Wind? 34975 Without telling anyone where he is going?"
34975Wonder what has happened?
34975Wonder what the news is tonight?
34975Wonder who they are and what brought them here?
34975Wonder who wrote the lead?
34975Working late, are n''t you?
34975Would it?
34975Would you let your mother die a slow and painful death? 34975 Would your stepfather have had a hand in it?"
34975Yesterday?
34975You are certain?
34975You believe your stepfather may have stolen the bonds?
34975You did n''t by chance hear whispering from within the walls?
34975You did n''t see who it was?
34975You did write the warning note?
34975You do n''t actually believe Celeste could make your wife ill merely by suggestion?
34975You do n''t think she''ll actually be physically hurt?
34975You have n''t seen him for the past ten days?
34975You heard the conversation between them?
34975You keep him in wall safe?
34975You said they disagreed about his interest in ancient cult practices?
34975You saw someone take the will, Jerry?
34975You say he did n''t know until just now where the drum was kept?
34975You say that, and yet you''re willing to turn your back on an unsolved mystery? 34975 You say you ca n''t explain how the paper came to be in Mr. Rhett''s desk?"
34975You stayed there only one night?
34975You still love your wife?
34975You think your mother will put faith in all this?
34975You think your stepfather may have removed the drum from the wall safe?
34975You''ll report the theft of the will to the police, of course?
34975You''re from the police, ai n''t you?
34975You''re here only to get a story for your paper?
34975You''re not going to the police station, are you, Dad?
34975You''re suggesting robbery?
34975You''ve heard nothing from your stepfather?
34975You, Jerry?
34975You?
34975Your mother enjoyed travel too?
34975Your mother has n''t seen the doll?
34975Your mother is worse?
34975Your servant?
34975Your stepfather did n''t steal the drum?
34975Your stepfather was especially interested in ancient religious cults?
34975Your stepfather?
34975Your will?
34975A garden or tool house perhaps?
34975Although he added:"And who is she?"
34975And the words written beneath it?"
34975And who is she anyhow?"
34975And why would a fella with even that much dough sleep in a flop if he was n''t tryin''to dodge the cops?"
34975Anything interesting?"
34975Are n''t you forgetting a little matter of$ 250,000?"
34975Are they safe?"
34975But how did he know about it, and why would it be of any value to him?
34975But it''s so dark--""See anything now?"
34975By bus?"
34975By the board, you mean?"
34975CHAPTER 13_ MISSING FROM THE CHEST_"Mother, how did you learn about the wooden doll?"
34975Ca n''t we bring in the porch furniture?"
34975Can you make it?"
34975Celeste started to make a retort, but just then Mrs. Rhett spoke:"Lorinda, did you put the will in the safe?"
34975Confess now, is n''t it the excitement you like, rather than the work?"
34975Could it be that in entering the tunnel they had revealed their presence?
34975Could it have been Antón?"
34975Could you see who it was?"
34975Did I ever show you the one I got when I was a kid?
34975Did I leave the paper in the desk?"
34975Did she look well to you?"
34975Did you get the pictures?"
34975Did you learn the builder''s name?"
34975Do you understand?"
34975Everything lined up for the pictures?"
34975For all you know, a secret passageway or false panels in the walls, may have been put in?"
34975Furthermore, your wife is dangerously ill.""My wife sick?
34975Got that straight?"
34975Guess what?
34975Had it been shot from the bushes behind her, and by the person who had stealthily followed her along the trail?
34975Have n''t you any theory as to how the effigy got into the house?"
34975He would cock an eyebrow at her, growl:"So you could n''t get in, eh?"
34975How about the story?"
34975How about you?"
34975How can Potts afford to pay such prices?"
34975How did the doll come into the house?"
34975How did you get inside?"
34975How was it done without our knowledge?"
34975However, I wonder, is it not possible he actually is still in Riverview?"
34975I telephoned DeWitt I was locked in, and what did the old crow do?
34975If you catch him, will you give me a reward?"
34975Instead, perhaps we can go away somewhere on a long trip-- South America, would that appeal to you, Hamilton?"
34975Is Mrs. Rhett an hysterical type of woman?"
34975Is it Celeste?"
34975Is it the will you want, or are you after the Zudi drum?"
34975Is there danger that the city will be destroyed?"
34975It may mean--"she broke off and amended:"Tell me, where is the paper now?"
34975Lorinda, what if it should be a native death charm?"
34975Lorinda, why do n''t you question Celeste and Antón?"
34975Lou, did you notice if he wore a serpent ring?"
34975Louise studied the stranger a moment and replied:"How should I know?
34975Now are you satisfied?"
34975On the other hand, is it possible he does n''t want to be recognized in this night club?"
34975Penny thought a moment, and then asked:"Could the Zudi drum have anything to do with it?"
34975Penny, you do n''t think she is seriously ill?"
34975Reaching the fire, she asked directly:"Lorinda, what in the world are you doing?"
34975Rhett?"
34975Rhett?"
34975She said quietly:"Lorinda, surely now you''ll call in the police?
34975Should we report what we''ve learned to the police?"
34975Surely you do n''t think my stepfather would stoop to the theft of bank securities?"
34975Tell me, does she know that the doll existed?"
34975Tell me, what is your name?"
34975Tommy, are you sure the man you saw looked like the picture in the paper?"
34975Want to come along?"
34975Want to see it?"
34975Was it imagination or did his shriveled face mirror fear?
34975Were n''t they left in Mr. Rhett''s desk?
34975What are you saying?"
34975What became of it?"
34975What do you mean?
34975What ever gave you such an idea?"
34975What has taken possession of you?"
34975What have you gained?"
34975What is the meaning of this?"
34975What is wrong?"
34975What is your little game?"
34975What ought I to do?"
34975What reason could they have for hating her?"
34975What reason would he have for taking it?
34975What were you after in the safe?"
34975What wind?
34975What''s he done anyhow?"
34975What''s this nonsense about my wife being ill and going to die?"
34975What''s wrong?"
34975Where is she now?"
34975Where''s Dad?"
34975Where''s your card?"
34975Why are you burning this doll?"
34975Why did n''t you tell me before?"
34975Why do n''t you skip out?"
34975Why do you hate Lorinda and Mrs. Rhett?
34975Why not override them and hire a nurse or companion for your mother?"
34975Why were n''t the other trophies taken also?"
34975Why were you afraid to have me investigate the thatched roof cottage?"
34975Why?"
34975Will he return soon?"
34975Will you explain its significance?"
34975Will you go with me tomorrow?"
34975Wonder what''s in this chest?"
34975Would you like to see the cottage again?"
34975You do n''t think anyone could possibly blame me, do you?"
34975You saw for yourself that it was an effigy of Mother and that it was wrapped with string?"
34975You swear you will never tell Mother?"
34975You told her?"
34975You''ve heard nothing from your stepfather?"
35082A party of three, sir?
35082A raven?
35082A reporter?
35082A saboteur?
35082A very pretty race, my dears, but shall we call this the finish line?
35082After they talked to you, the men went away again in their boat?
35082All of which makes him a saboteur, I suppose?
35082All set?
35082An accident?
35082And Burt Ottman?
35082And did n''t he leave any message for us?
35082And did they?
35082And just what are we going to do when he does arrive?
35082And let a saboteur run off with this boat?
35082And they came by car?
35082And what about this prisoner I''ve been nursemaiding?
35082And what if those men should show up?
35082And what were_ you_ doing on the beach?
35082And what will your parents have to say?
35082And what would that accomplish?
35082And you?
35082And your drink, sir?
35082Any luck?
35082Any positive way to identify it?
35082Anything inside?
35082Anything we can do for you?
35082Anyway, why not try it just to keep occupied? 35082 Are n''t we near Bug Run?"
35082Are n''t you a bit mixed up?
35082Are n''t you one speck glad about saving me?
35082Are n''t you staying for dinner?
35082Are the duties hard?
35082Are we almost to the river?
35082Are you alone there, Noah?
35082Are you from the police?
35082Are you here?
35082Are you sure you have n''t a fever, Miss Ottman?
35082Are you sure you have the correct address, Penny?
35082At what point?
35082Bill Evans, what do you think you''re doing?
35082Bill, did that man mention when his friend Wessler intended to go fishing?
35082But how could you see his face?
35082But what about poor Bill? 35082 But where can we find a phone?"
35082But where''s Jerry?
35082But where''s the proprietor of this place?
35082But why am I such poison?
35082By saboteurs?
35082By the way, you''re not the one they call Noah, are you?
35082Ca n''t we help you?
35082Ca n''t you give us something besides that?
35082Ca n''t you recall whom you were with just before the accident?
35082Ca n''t you siphon it out?
35082Ca n''t your brother prove where he was last night at the time of the explosion?
35082Ca n''t your brother provide an alibi? 35082 Can you give us a description of it?"
35082Can you read the numbers, Lou?
35082Can you tell me what has become of the cafe next door?
35082Can you tell me where they went or why they moved out?
35082Compromise?
35082Could n''t we just explain?
35082Dad, why do n''t you call the police right away? 35082 Dare we go away and leave the boat?"
35082DeWitt?
35082Did I? 35082 Did I?"
35082Did he enter?
35082Did he never tell you how he was struck?
35082Did he really?
35082Did n''t I warn you not to trespass on the property of the Lord?
35082Did n''t Sara come?
35082Did n''t you know the man who rented the boat?
35082Did n''t you report your loss to the Coast Guards?
35082Did n''t you see the morning paper?
35082Did n''t you tell police that a young man corresponding to his description was handling the boat?
35082Did n''t you think it a rather peculiar request?
35082Did n''t your brother tell you where he was going when he left home?
35082Did the young man say?
35082Did you capture Jard Wessler?
35082Did you ever hear of the American Protective Society, Lou?
35082Did you get him?
35082Did you know him, Penny?
35082Do n''t you feel able to explain?
35082Do n''t you read the papers? 35082 Do n''t you remember how you came to be there?"
35082Do n''t you think we should turn back?
35082Do n''t you wish you had one of my sweaters?
35082Do you always read the message?
35082Do you have a pen or a pencil with you, Lou?
35082Do you have any aboard the ark?
35082Do you know?
35082Do you live under that boat?
35082Do you mean Old Noah?
35082Do you only write for the papers?
35082Do you remember that card we found in the leather billfold? 35082 Do you see that ticker?"
35082Do you suppose the fellow is still hiding in the woods?
35082Does your brother have enemies who would harm him?
35082Drive back? 35082 Even if it means staying here all night?"
35082Foreigners?
35082Forget it, will you?
35082Give me a chance to think, will you?
35082Had any trouble?
35082Halt?
35082Hard? 35082 Has anyone called an ambulance?"
35082Has this misunderstanding something to do with the bridge dynamiting?
35082Has walking become an outmoded sport or are you trying to save wear and tear on rayon stockings?
35082Have you gone completely crazy?
35082Have you talked to the police?
35082He ai n''t dead is he?
35082He got away?
35082He''s not one of the outfit then?
35082Hey, where you think you''re going?
35082Ho, and who has visited my ark while I''ve been away?
35082How about a nice pension?
35082How about a nice vanilla sundae with crushed walnuts?
35082How about a nice vanilla sundae with crushed walnuts?
35082How about chasing up to the ark? 35082 How about granting me one first?
35082How about it Noah?
35082How about it, Lou? 35082 How about it, Lou?"
35082How about it, Sara?
35082How about taking a chance and shouting for help?
35082How about the stolen motorboat?
35082How about your daughter?
35082How can I thank you?
35082How can you be so cheerful about it?
35082How can you help me?
35082How d''you mean?
35082How did you learn that Jard Wessler was a saboteur?
35082How did you learn the location of the place?
35082How do I look now?
35082How do the thieves get the ropes, Jerry?
35082How do you expect ever to be a G woman if you do n''t start practicing now?
35082How do you know what sort of animals are around here?
35082How do you mean?
35082How do you propose to get the bottles overboard?
35082How do you suppose it got loose?
35082How does it work?
35082How early?
35082How long do you imagine it will rain?
35082How many men were there, Noah?
35082How many were involved in the dynamiting plot?
35082How much is it?
35082How should I know?
35082How soon will you be leaving, Jerry?
35082How were they dressed?
35082How were you able to bring help here so quickly?
35082How will you do that?
35082How''d you get wet anyhow?
35082How''s our little sailor?
35082How?
35082I helped you and that girl friend of yours, did n''t I? 35082 I just do n''t feel like talking about it-- see?"
35082I suppose he did his best to stop the saboteur?
35082I suppose he never explained what happened at The Green Parrot?
35082I wonder where I can reach him?
35082I wonder why?
35082If I make all arrangements will you leave the ark?
35082Is Dan Grebe aboard?
35082Is Mr. Oaks around here?
35082Is he still out cold?
35082Is it your boat, Sara?
35082Is n''t it your duty to remain here until relieved?
35082Is n''t that a restaurant the police closed down a few months ago?
35082Is n''t that work for the police?
35082Is n''t the river too high?
35082Is n''t the_ Star_ building across the street?
35082Is that you or a gazelle escaped from the zoo?
35082Is there one tonight?
35082Just dump''er on the dock for me, will you?
35082Just stand here and wait until they come outside?
35082Just what went on there?
35082Learn anything?
35082Looks like rain, does n''t it?
35082Lou, did you hear what I heard?
35082Miss Ottman, wonder if I can get you to help me?
35082Monsieur is superstitious?
35082Mr. DeWitt put up the money?
35082Mrs. Weems, did you ever hear of a place called The Green Parrot?
35082My face?
35082Next week, is n''t it?
35082Not necessarily, but do n''t you think we ought to try to learn more?
35082Not officers?
35082Not really?
35082Now I wonder what time it is?
35082Now about this job for Carl Oaks--"Job?
35082Now do you understand why I feel that you''re no friend of mine?
35082Now what can you give us on the explosion? 35082 Now what shall we do?"
35082Now what?
35082Now what?
35082Now why should you be bothering your head about The Green Parrot?
35082Oaks told you what happened?
35082Oaks? 35082 Oaks?
35082Oh, Burt, what happened to you?
35082Oh, by the way, did you ever hear of a place called The Green Parrot?
35082Oh, is it you, Penny?
35082Oh, what do you care?
35082Oh, who minds a little upset?
35082Oh, why waste any thought on her?
35082Or do I know? 35082 Or is that what you want to do?"
35082Or should I say yet?
35082Other side or this?
35082Ought n''t we stop the cars?
35082Ought n''t we to notify the Coast Guards?
35082Out to bury the body?
35082Say, are you really sure this boat belongs to the Ottmans?
35082Say, what''s the matter with your face?
35082See anyone you know, Penny?
35082Shall we give up the chase?
35082Should n''t we wait another hour?
35082So you got''em, eh?
35082So you read our message, asking for help, Sara?
35082So you want a case of pneumonia?
35082Sure you do n''t want to tag along?
35082Thanks to whom?
35082That queer old man who has the ark?
35082That you, Jard?
35082That''s all we can do-- unless--"Unless what?
35082The boat is still there?
35082The man did n''t look like a waiter, did he?
35082The men who attacked you?
35082The one that''s wrestling with the lobster?
35082The young man who escorted you here?
35082Then what are we to do?
35082Then what are you going to do with us?
35082Then why do you dislike me? 35082 Then why would they take up with him later?"
35082Then you believe he was forcibly ejected?
35082Then you think the saboteur may have rented his boat from Ottman''s?
35082Think we''ll freeze?
35082Think you''ll get''er?
35082This boat belongs to Sara Ottman?
35082Tired, Lou?
35082Well, how about a dish of ice cream then? 35082 Well, what does it say?"
35082Well, what will we do?
35082Well, why not abandon this old boat?
35082Well?
35082Were any real clues found, Penny?
35082Wessler? 35082 What animals do you keep inside?"
35082What are we to do now we''re here?
35082What are you and Louise doing here? 35082 What became of Carl Oaks?"
35082What caused the accident?
35082What did cause you to capsize?
35082What did it look like?
35082What did it say?
35082What did the men do?
35082What did they look like?
35082What did you do, get peeved and toss it overboard?
35082What do you intend to do?
35082What do you mean, Penny?
35082What do you mean?
35082What do you say?
35082What do you suppose he''s doing down here?
35082What does that fellow expect?
35082What happened to me?
35082What happened while we were gone?
35082What have I done?
35082What if his skull should be fractured?
35082What if our folks come searching for us while we''re wandering around?
35082What is this, a third degree?
35082What is?
35082What makes you think so?
35082What makes you think that?
35082What seems to be wrong?
35082What time do you suppose it is?
35082What time is it, Jerry?
35082What time will you pick me up here?
35082What value would the rope have to a thief?
35082What was that about Burt Ottman?
35082What will you do for lunch?
35082What will you do when he returns?
35082What''ll we do with him?
35082What''s coming off here?
35082What''s in those bottles?
35082What''s new in the dynamiting case?
35082What''s that?
35082What''s the number of this engine?
35082What''s this I hear about Burt Ottman being arrested by the police?
35082What''s to prevent us from writing our own messages? 35082 What''s wrong there?
35082What''s wrong?
35082When did they leave?
35082When does Burt''s trial come up?
35082When does he start work?
35082Where could she have gone? 35082 Where do you suppose the old fellow has taken himself?"
35082Where is Noah?
35082Where is it now?
35082Where is the ark?
35082Where is this Parrot place?
35082Where was the fire?
35082Where''ll I get the best shots?
35082Where''s that, sir?
35082Where''s that?
35082Where''s the breeze?
35082Where''s your master?
35082Where''ve you been anyway?
35082Who cares about that?
35082Who did this to you?
35082Who ever thought of such a thing?
35082Who hid the dynamite?
35082Who is he, Dad?
35082Who is he?
35082Who was that old man the waiter met?
35082Who''s he?
35082Whose cabin is it?
35082Why are you girls hiding behind that log?
35082Why ca n''t we pull the job now and get out?
35082Why did n''t Jerry bring you home?
35082Why did n''t you bounce me out of bed two hours ago?
35082Why did you ask me to meet you at this particular place, Penny?
35082Why do n''t you go home?
35082Why do we stay here anyway?
35082Why do you think Burt Ottman was at the Parrot?
35082Why does n''t Jerry hurry?
35082Why not go for the police?
35082Why not let us go home?
35082Why not telephone my father and ask him to come here right away?
35082Why not turn it over to the police?
35082Why not?
35082Why, is n''t that Mr. Oaks, the bridge watchman?
35082Why, what''s become of the cafe?
35082Will you show us where the boat is hidden?
35082With my animals?
35082With my bare hands?
35082Wonder what it''s like inside?
35082Wonder what''s wrong back there?
35082Wonder who piloted that boat?
35082Would n''t the police have picked it up if they had considered it of any importance?
35082Would n''t you like to live in a steam- heated apartment?
35082Would you like to read them, my son?
35082Would you say he''s one of the plotters?
35082Yes, what about him?
35082You did n''t identify him as the saboteur?
35082You did? 35082 You do n''t really mind, do you, Dad?"
35082You do n''t suppose this billfold was dropped by the saboteur?
35082You do n''t think he allowed those saboteurs to board the barge?
35082You got your money for the Thompson bridge job, did n''t you?
35082You mean the old fellow actually believes there''s going to be another great flood?
35082You mean your brother went away yesterday and failed to return?
35082You never read them?
35082You would n''t want to protect a saboteur?
35082You''re sure he left the cafe?
35082You''ve heard of the place?
35082You''ve not had another boat stolen?
35082You_ honestly_ do n''t know?
35082Your brother is n''t here?
35082Your brother knows the identity of the saboteur?
35082Your which?
35082_ Not_ Burt Ottman?
35082A circular peep- hole shot open and a voice muttered:"Who is it?"
35082After the first moment of startled surprise, he leaned on his crooked stick and inquired with a kind smile:"Why have you come, my daughters?"
35082After what happened--""And whose fault was it?"
35082And how are we to get home?"
35082And in those wet clothes?"
35082And is n''t he a darling?"
35082And who but Penny aided the police in trailing The Vanishing Houseboat?
35082And why?"
35082And with whom had he kept the Tuesday night appointment at The Green Parrot?
35082Anyway, what do I know about the man?"
35082Are you there, Wessler?"
35082As Noah showed no interest, she added:"Or how would you like a big bus?
35082As Old Noah kept on scrubbing his beard she could not resist asking:"Excuse me, but are n''t you washing your whiskers by mistake?"
35082As she started on alone, she paused and called to her chum who was on the porch:"Oh, Lou, how about a sail early tomorrow morning?"
35082Barge adrift?"
35082But what had her so aroused?
35082But where are your living quarters?"
35082By the way, what did you do with that blue bottle?"
35082CHAPTER 4_ AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK_"Now will you tell me what I did to deserve a crack like that?"
35082Ca n''t you get him something to do?
35082Can you wait a few days?"
35082Dad, what did Jerry do about paying the bill?"
35082Did you witness it?"
35082Get me?"
35082Glancing up, she called a greeting, and then asked abruptly:"Say, what''s that barge doing out on the river?
35082Have n''t I just been knicked to the tune of an expensive truck?"
35082Have the police been able to trace it to a new location?"
35082Have you seen Louise Sidell sneaking around anywhere?"
35082Have you seen them?"
35082He hesitated before he answered:"What made you ask me that?"
35082He''s aboard, is n''t he?"
35082Hesitating a moment, she asked diffidently:"Do n''t suppose you girls would like to go along?"
35082I must have offended her, but how?"
35082I suppose you think yonder bottle bears a note telling where pirates buried their treasure?"
35082In a low tone he confided:"Did n''t you know?
35082Is he being held at The Green Parrot?"
35082Just what do you mean by that crack?"
35082May I borrow a sponge for a minute?"
35082Now what does that mean?"
35082Now what''s he doing here?"
35082Now why must you go to the river?"
35082Oaks?"
35082Oaks?"
35082Oh, by the way, did you ever lose a leather billfold?"
35082Pausing to listen, she called:"Is anyone here?"
35082Penny, still on the roof of the shack, heard Carl Oaks exclaim:"What was that?
35082Say, Bill, how would you like to do your country a great service?"
35082See how those tree limbs arch over the roof of the shack?
35082Shall we go inside and meet the animals?"
35082The boat moved beneath her, and an irate voice rumbled:"Would you mind getting off?"
35082The new watchman?"
35082Want to help?"
35082Was it his fault that the barge was cut adrift?"
35082Were you looking for me, Penny?"
35082Were you struck?"
35082Wessler?"
35082What became of The Green Parrot, Dad?
35082What do you suppose those men are up to anyway?"
35082What do you think became of him?"
35082What have you been doing in a taxicab?"
35082What if those men should never come back?"
35082What is his name?"
35082What should I do?"
35082What sort of work is it?"
35082What''ll we do if it should be a saboteur?"
35082What''s this strange contraption?"
35082Where are you, Noah?"
35082Where is that bottle, Louise?
35082Where was he at the time of the dynamiting?"
35082Where''s the Chief?"
35082Who do you suppose wrote such an odd message?"
35082Why are you here anyhow?"
35082Why does n''t he like his job as watchman on the coal barge?"
35082Why had Burt denied losing the leather billfold?
35082Why not board her and put up signal lights first?
35082Why not stay here and watch until Sara comes?
35082Why?"
35082Why?"
35082You mean the man who stole my motorboat?"
35083A campfire?
35083A girl?
35083About Jerry?
35083About the telegram Danny Deevers sent Jerry?
35083After all, what do I know about Joe?
35083After we got the extras all printed an''everything?
35083All the same, ought n''t we to check into it?
35083An accident?
35083And Johnny Bates, the electrician?
35083And do they own the island?
35083And if he wo n''t cough up?
35083And now, where is Jerry?
35083And since when has Joe got so a- feared of his shadow?
35083And that broken tree branch lying on the ground? 35083 And what you spyin''around here for?"
35083And who is Danny Deevers?
35083And your mysterious rescuer?

35083Anyone else in on that business?
35083Anyone you know?

35083Anything wrong?
35083Are the newsboys here?
35083Are the orchids here?

35083But where''s yer fishin''poles?
35083But why did you run away?
35083But why?
35083By the way, any news of Danny Deevers?
35083By the way, are n''t we near Clayton street now?
35083By the way, do you drive a car?
35083By the way, why were you so interested in going to the swamp tonight? 35083 By the way,"Penny remarked,"who is the woman on the farm just above here?"
35083By whom? 35083 Ca n''t we try again tomorrow?"
35083Ca n''t you guess?
35083Ca n''t you let a fellow catch forty winks without sending out the riot squad?
35083Cain''t ye notice thet sickish, sweet odor in the air?
35083Caleb Corners?
35083Can I hold on that long?
35083Can I trust you guys not to slip a real bullet in when I''m not looking?
35083Change for a dime, Mark?
35083City bred, waren''t he?
35083Could it have been one of the Hawkins''boys?
35083Could the thief have been one of the Hawkins family?
35083Dad, why not call the stunt off?
35083Dare we follow him?
35083Deevers was a big man, were n''t he?
35083Did he seem dazed or confused?
35083Did n''t he offer enough?
35083Did n''t you ask a taximan at the hospital how much it would cost to go there?
35083Did n''t you lock the car, Salt?
35083Did someone attack you?
35083Did the noise come from outside the swamp?
35083Did ye learn what ye wanted to know?
35083Did you get the address?
35083Did you have any trouble?
35083Did you notice or hear anything else unusual, Jerry?
35083Did you notice smoke in the room? 35083 Did you see anything of Bones?"
35083Did you see the truck stop there again?
35083Did you trip and fall?
35083Do n''t you remember me?
35083Do those swampers know you''re here on the island?
35083Do you have a boat?
35083Do you have a picture of him?
35083Does he own this swamp?
35083Does it extend so far into the swamp?
35083Does your father know you''re going?
35083Fishin''good?
35083For instance?
35083Hain''t figured fer sure, but he''s the same as our prisoner, ai n''t he? 35083 Hain''t ye had enough o''the swamp after today, young''un?"
35083Has anyone seen him?
35083Has that picture of the traffic accident I sent over come up yet?
35083Have you no idea who took the car?
35083He did n''t seem to notice I had my cab filled, and says:''How much to take me to Caleb Corners?''
35083He seems all right, but what do we really know about him?
35083Hear anything?
35083Her?
35083Home?
35083How about it?
35083How are you feeling, Jerry, my boy?
35083How can you be so positive?
35083How could the young man have left this floor and the building without being seen? 35083 How did he know you were here, Salt?"
35083How did you come to be mixed up with Danny?
35083How did you get to this island?
35083How do you feel, Jerry?
35083How does one reach Black Island?
35083How far?
35083How is Jerry?
35083How is your foot?
35083How long does the trip take?
35083How long would it take to go and return here-- that is, if you went alone?
35083How much of a cut do you dirty blackmailers want?
35083How much?
35083How mucha you know?

35083I wonder who did camp here?
35083I wonder who he was?
35083I wonder why that bird set such great store by the picture? 35083 I wonder--""Yes?"
35083If I give you$ 10,000, you''ll guide me through the swamp and help me get away?
35083If I watch out for snakes and only go a short ways, what harm can it do?
35083If we was to agree to the$ 10,000, kin ye deliver tonight?
35083If you wo n''t take me into the swamp, is there anyone else who will?
35083In the swamp?
35083Interesting,commented Penny,"but what is your connection with the case?"
35083Into the swamp?
35083Is anyone with him?
35083Is he a crook or a fugitive from the law?
35083Is it filled with wild and dangerous animals?
35083Is n''t that Trapper Joe''s gun?
35083Is n''t there somewhere Louise and I could wait?
35083Is the revolver loaded?
35083Is there a road near here leading in?
35083Is there only one exit-- the way we came in?
35083It goes into the swamp?
35083It''s your nickel, ai n''t it?
35083Jerry Livingston? 35083 Jerry here yet?"
35083Jerry, are you there?

35083May we go with you?
35083May we have a drink at the pump?
35083May we use your phone?
35083Maybe you do n''t think he cracked you on the head tonight at the theater?
35083Message?
35083Mrs. Jones drives a car?
35083Near here?
35083Not Jerry''s coupe?
35083Not Trapper Joe''s place?
35083Now that my part is finished here, suppose we go somewhere for a bite to eat?
35083Now where did he go?
35083Oh, what can I do to prevent them from getting away?
35083Oh, where could he have gone?
35083Oh, why does n''t the Immigration department reach a decision?
35083Oh, would n''t we?
35083On into the swamp?
35083Paw, hain''t you forgittin''something?
35083Penny, did you call for help?
35083Please, must we turn back now?
35083Purty here, hain''t it?
35083Purty, hain''t it?

35083Says who?
35083See anyone, Penelope?
35083See those beautiful Cherokee roses growing over there on the island point? 35083 Seen anything of a dog on the island?"
35083Shall I call the police, Salt?
35083Shall we make it tomorrow?
35083Signals? 35083 Since we''ve come this far, why not go on to the Widow Jones''place?"
35083So Joe would n''t take ye?
35083So he stowed aboard a troopship?
35083So you got nothing to say, eh?
35083So you sold your car?
35083So you were trying to double- cross your pals, Danny? 35083 Someone who came from the swamp?"
35083Speaking of me, Chief?
35083Supposing someone who knew the swamp were helping him?
35083Sure you wo n''t mind, Louise?
35083Sure, what you got to kick about? 35083 Sure?"
35083Taxi?
35083That I wo n''t go in without a guide?
35083That you, Coon?
35083The Hillcrest?
35083The money he stole from the Third Federal Bank?
35083The stolen one?
35083Then Jerry really did need hospitalization?
35083Then what made you walk out of the hospital?
35083Then what''s delaying us?
35083Then where did you go?
35083Then why did he head for Riverview?
35083Then why do you refuse to take me in?
35083Then why not go on?
35083Then why not go?
35083Then why not take me? 35083 Then why not take the picture to the hospital now?"
35083Then why were you so willing to hide and help him?
35083Then would he be leavin''little tracks?
35083Then you did n''t have the car out today or loan it to anyone?
35083Then you did n''t see him?
35083Then you have the one of the auto accident?
35083Then you''ll go?
35083To starve? 35083 To the island?"
35083Today? 35083 Told ye, did n''t I?"
35083Tole ye, did n''t I? 35083 Too late?
35083Up so early, Penny?
35083Want me to drop you off there now?
35083Want to stay in the car and spare those pretty shoes of yours?
35083Was I now?
35083Was Jerry really hit?
35083Was it a car you saw in the ditch?
35083Was n''t that the same fellow who was in the auto accident?
35083We?
35083Well, shall we start for Riverview?
35083Well, what about this escaped convict, Danny Deevers?
35083Were the taps in code, Jerry?
35083Were you all together in the big bank robbery?
35083Were you smoking a cigarette, Jerry?
35083What about Ezekiel?
35083What are we stopping here for, Salt?
35083What are you waiting for? 35083 What became of him?"
35083What brings ye here today?
35083What can we do now?
35083What did Jerry say?
35083What did you learn at Black Island?
35083What did you learn, Jerry?
35083What do you make of it all, Salt?
35083What do you see?
35083What do you think made the noise?
35083What do you want to know?
35083What do you want?
35083What happened, Jerry?
35083What have we got to lose?
35083What if Ezekiel fires again?
35083What sort of sound was it?
35083What they beefin''about? 35083 What things do you mean?"
35083What time are you starting for Trapper Joe''s tomorrow?
35083What was that, Dad?
35083What was that?
35083What were they doing in the swamp so late at night? 35083 What will you do with us?"
35083What work do you have this morning that ca n''t wait, Joe?
35083What would a truck be doing in there at this time of night?
35083What ye aimin''to do?
35083What you doin''here?
35083What you sayin''?

35083What''s our move, Chief?
35083What''s so unusual in that?
35083What''s that about Danny being in the swamp?
35083What''s that noise?
35083What''s that?
35083What''s wrong?
35083What''s yer rush, Pappy? 35083 When do you want me to stop by again?"
35083Where are we?
35083Where do these roads lead?
35083Where does the walk lead?
35083Where''d that come from?
35083Where''s Tony?
35083Where''s the money?
35083Where?
35083Where?
35083Which room?
35083Which way did Jerry go when he left here?
35083Which way did he go?
35083Who are you and why do you warn me?
35083Who are you?
35083Who are you?
35083Who be ye folkses?
35083Who could my rescuer have been?
35083Who did it?
35083Who does he think he is anyhow?
35083Who knows, Lou? 35083 Who owns the car, Salt?"
35083Who slashed these others? 35083 Who thought up the idea anyhow?"
35083Who''s there?
35083Who''s there?
35083Who''s there?
35083Who''s there?
35083Who, Jerry? 35083 Whose orders?"
35083Why bother? 35083 Why did n''t he wait for me to thank him?"
35083Why did n''t you wait and let me thank you for saving my life?
35083Why do you think not?
35083Why else would we make the trip?
35083Why not put that gun away?
35083Why not?
35083Why should she care?
35083Why should we leave?
35083Why turn it over to the police?
35083Why would he start for the swamp? 35083 Why?"
35083Will you take us in your boat?
35083With that blotch of red ink on your shirt front?
35083Without a boat?
35083Without learning for certain who those two fellows are?
35083Wo n''t you reconsider?
35083Wonder where I''d better leave this revolver?
35083Wonder where Jerry is? 35083 Wonder where the footprints lead?"
35083Wonder who those birds were?
35083Would it git us a lighter stretch if we was to turn him in?
35083Would n''t we be stranded here?
35083Ye got a watch?
35083Ye heard me?
35083Ye say it means a lot to ye to make the trip?
35083Ye want to be caught by them lousy revenooers?
35083Yeah?
35083Yes, what is it?
35083You call- a me?
35083You did n''t happen to notice where he hid my clothes?
35083You do n''t think he''d dare try to carry out his threat?
35083You hain''t been in the swamp?
35083You know- a somebody who wanta good job, good pay?
35083You looka for Jerry? 35083 You mean you do n''t mind waiting here while I see where that tunnel of leaves leads?"
35083You mean you still have it?
35083You mean you''ll take me?
35083You say a cab has n''t been through here tonight?
35083You talked to the building manager?
35083You''re Italian, are n''t you?
35083You''re certain the car still is in the shed?
35083You''re from a newspaper, and we do n''t want our pictures printed-- see?
35083You''re not afraid?
35083You''ve made the trip?
35083Young feller, is that your car parked in the alley?
35083And what are they trucking?"
35083Any chance you could take me in your car?"
35083Any clues?"
35083Anyway, what''s your kick?
35083As Penny and Salt slid onto stools in front of the counter, he turned toward them to ask briskly:"What''ll it be, folks?"
35083As it changed to green she replied:"Do n''t you recall a series of stories Jerry wrote in our paper nearly a year ago?
35083Big scoop for de paper, eh?"
35083But do you have a boat?"
35083But wo n''t she be listening for the sound of our motor as we go deeper into the swamp?
35083But would anyone listen to me?"
35083By the way, did you meet an interne in the hall?
35083By the way, where''s Salt Sommers?"
35083CHAPTER 3_ UNFINISHED BUSINESS_"Did you hear that?"
35083CHAPTER 8_ IN SEARCH OF JERRY_"Now what could have become of Jerry?"
35083Ca n''t we trace the driver that way?"
35083Danny come here, saying the cops was after him and would we give him some clothes and hide him fer a day or two?
35083Did Bones ever find his way back?"
35083Did n''t ye have no sense, Hod?"
35083Did you hear what they were saying?"
35083Did you notice how she advised us to go directly to Riverview?"
35083Did you see a snake?"
35083Do I have your promise, Penny?"
35083Do n''t you hear the bushes rustling?"
35083Do n''t you understand?
35083Do n''t you want to learn where this boardwalk goes?"
35083Do we look like crooks?"
35083Drown me?"
35083Ever et any?"
35083Ever think o''that?"
35083Forgive me, will you, Penny?"
35083Had the bearded stranger really been Ezekiel Hawkins, and if so, with whom had he talked?
35083Hain''t we got a fool- proof system?
35083Hawkins?"
35083He was turning away when a sleepy voice called:"Who''s there?"
35083How about the revolver?"
35083How you been?"
35083I heard Ezekiel Hawkins talking on Lookout Point, did n''t I?
35083In any case, what chance would she have against four armed men?
35083Is n''t that it?"
35083Jerry Livingston?"
35083Jerry has n''t been hurt?"
35083Just since Danny Deevers escaped from prison?"
35083Kin I give you a nice turkey leg?"
35083Know anything about it?"
35083Later in the week perhaps?"
35083More applause?
35083Now?"
35083On his way to the skiff, he asked carelessly:"Come here offen, do ye?"
35083Otherwise, why would they be so mean?"
35083Remember your cue?"
35083Salt, could n''t Jerry identify him from the picture you took?"
35083Say, what you gittin''at anyway with all these questions?"
35083Should n''t we ask police to try to find him?"
35083Sommers?"
35083Suppose I give the picture to him and ask him to go easy on Mrs. Jones?
35083Surely you must have heard the shot?"
35083That reporter you like so well?"
35083That stunt we''ve planned for the entertainment of our out- of- town men-- is everything set?"
35083The Hawkins''boys?"
35083Then Penny heard one of the men demand sharply:"What was that?"
35083They talka big, eat big-- but work?
35083Think ye can git in there and back without being cotched?"
35083This here''s a free country ai n''t it?"
35083Unless--""Unless what?"
35083Want to go with me?"
35083We got termorrer, hain''t we?"
35083Were you ever eaten alive?"
35083Whar be ye from and what do you want?"
35083What do you mean, Mark?
35083What do you mean, young''un?"
35083What happened?
35083What you think I pay you for-- to eat me out of business?"
35083What''s this all about?"
35083What''s yer name?"
35083Where are you going, Salt Sommers?"
35083Where''s the revolver, Salt?"
35083Who could those men be?"
35083Who is he?"
35083Who you calla tonight?
35083Will ye come in and set a spell?"
35083Will you drive me there?"
35083Will you stay here and keep watch of these men for me?"
35083Will you take us?"
35083Wonder if he got away with anything?"
35083Wonder what she saw there at the edge of the swamp?"
35083Would n''t it be a good hideout?"
35083Ye sure ye want to go on?"
35083You keepin''any of the stuff?"
35083You know- a somebody?"
35083You remember that swamp road where you and Salt saw the truck?"
35083You''re hungry now, are n''t you?"
35083Your promise, Penny?"
34682A G- man?
34682A Sunday paper?
34682A joke?
34682A little?
34682A resemblance to what, Penny?
34682A skeleton key, you mean?
34682Aboard a river excursion boat? 34682 Ai n''t a man got any right to privacy?"
34682An anchor, for instance?
34682An order for a roll of paper?
34682Anchor Joe?
34682Anchor Joe?
34682And how do you plan to get the papers sold?
34682And if I object?
34682And one on his back?
34682And the four conspired to steal the gold bars?
34682And the four sailors saw a chance to steal some of the bars?
34682And where do you propose to start your newspaper? 34682 And who pushed John Munn off the bridge?"
34682And will you take Horney into your own plant?
34682And you agreed?
34682And you think Peter Fenestra left it there?
34682And you think you have the phrase?
34682And you''re after Anchor Joe?
34682And you''ve been unable to find other work?
34682Another thing, why should Fenestra decide to have his octopus tattoo removed?
34682Any other jobs for me?
34682Anyone else in the building?
34682Anything else while I was gone?
34682Anything we can do?
34682Are n''t those clouds odd?
34682Are n''t you being too lavish with your money, Jerry?
34682Are we going to live at the cottage this summer?
34682Are you sure they were watching this house, Tillie?
34682Are you willing to do it?
34682Are-- are you busy?
34682As if he were afraid for his life?
34682Blackmail?
34682But he does have something hidden there?
34682But how can he get in?
34682But it can be done?
34682But what about the storm cave?
34682But what does it mean? 34682 But why should Judson ruin his career rather than face exposure?"
34682But why should Mr. Judson submit to blackmail even for his daughter''s sake? 34682 But you''ll go with me?"
34682By the way, what about dinner tonight?
34682By whom?
34682Ca n''t we see it here?
34682Ca n''t you guess?
34682Can there be any doubt that he is the customer Ellis Saal meant?
34682Can we handle it?
34682Can you describe him?
34682Can you get Tillie Fellows a job?
34682Can you tell me anything definite against him?
34682Clever? 34682 Could it have been a reflection from a car headlight?"
34682Could it have been written by a prowler in the building?
34682Dad, ought n''t the police be sent after Peter Fenestra? 34682 Did Mrs. Weems say anything about Anchor Joe?"
34682Did he now?
34682Did he threaten you?
34682Did n''t you notice it?
34682Did n''t you tell Fenestra?
34682Did n''t you think she acted as if she were afraid someone would see her, Lou?
34682Did n''t you think that one man looked like Peter Fenestra?
34682Did you ask him what he meant?
34682Did you ever place a note on my desk?
34682Did you get a good look at the pair?
34682Did you get down into it?
34682Did you learn anything since I saw you last?
34682Did your customer have any other tattoos on his body?
34682Do n''t you figure it''s a blackmail attempt?
34682Do n''t you know his name?
34682Do n''t you live here?
34682Do n''t you read the_ Weekly Times_? 34682 Do n''t you see?
34682Do you have a man working here named Joe Landa?
34682Do you know him?
34682Do you like it?
34682Do you mind staying here alone for awhile?
34682Do you suggest a nurse?
34682Do you suppose the man knew who pushed him off the bridge?
34682Does he pay you a decent wage?
34682Does n''t the key look as if it belonged to a padlock?
34682Each man was marked with an octopus tattoo, was n''t he?
34682Ex- sailor, are n''t you?
34682Excuse me for asking so many questions, Miss Judson, but do you know of any reason why your father might be blackmailed?
34682Excuse me,said Penny, addressing her,"is there anything I can do to help?"
34682Fenestra?
34682For instance?
34682Gosh, how did it start?
34682Had he been in a fight?
34682Has Anchor Joe talked?
34682Have a nice time?
34682Have n''t we met before?
34682Have n''t you any idea what it is?
34682Have n''t you any money?
34682Have n''t you learned anything?
34682Have you ever removed one?
34682Have you told the police?
34682He goes down into it at night?
34682He still bothers you?
34682He''s seriously hurt, is n''t he?
34682Hello,said Penny cheerfully,"Dad has n''t come home yet by any chance?"
34682Horney, was it true that the_ Press_ was making money at the time it closed?
34682Horney,Penny said abruptly as they drove toward the river,"did you ever hear that Matthew Judson had been in trouble before he gave up his paper?"
34682Horney,she questioned,"did you ever try to frighten me away from this building?"
34682How about an interview with Ellis Saal?
34682How about stopping somewhere for a bite to eat?
34682How about the Golden Pheasant?
34682How about this bar?
34682How can I launch the_ Weekly Times_ without capital?
34682How could the mistake have been made?
34682How did he lose so much of his money, Jerry?
34682How did you get home?
34682How did you learn that, Penny?
34682How do you propose to get this place cleaned?
34682How does he make his money?
34682How is he doing?
34682How long have you worked here?
34682How much do you charge for one?
34682How much longer will it take?
34682How much will you need?
34682How old was she?
34682How''s chances fer a ride, buddy?
34682I do n''t want to bother you,Fred murmured,"but I was wondering-- do you have a job for me around here?
34682I suppose you knew Matthew Judson rather well?
34682I wonder if Mr. Judson did tell me everything?
34682I wonder what can be the significance of the words?
34682I wonder what she threw into the river?
34682I wonder where he went?
34682I wonder who they are?
34682I wonder why he closed the plant?
34682Indeed? 34682 Indeed?
34682Is Joe wanted on a criminal charge?
34682Is anyone there?
34682Is he really poor, Jerry?
34682Is it either Anchor Joe Landa or Peter Fenestra?
34682Is it merely a figure of an octopus? 34682 Is n''t it possible that he went into the shop to have a photograph taken, or for some other reason?"
34682Is n''t there any way we can open it ourselves?
34682Is that so?
34682Is that the place?
34682Is there anything else you wish to know?
34682Is this Fenestra''s writing?
34682Is this one of your jokes?
34682It seems rather mysterious, does n''t it?
34682Jerry, what was the matter with that fellow?
34682Jerry, who was he?
34682Joe, do you know a man named John Munn?
34682Joe, where are you taking Fenestra? 34682 Just because four men were pals, you think they would have such nonsense tattooed on their backs?"
34682Just what do you hope to find?
34682Leave me alone, will you?
34682Lou,said Penny abruptly,"did you ever hear of a man named Peter Fenestra?"
34682Matthew Jewel?
34682May I have it right away?
34682Mind?
34682Mind?
34682No watchman?
34682None?
34682Not about Matthew Judson?
34682Not to Fenestra''s?
34682Nothing I can do?
34682Now who took my food?
34682Now why, I wonder?
34682Now?
34682Oh, Dad,groaned Penny,"how can I?
34682Oh, are you the girl who has taken over my building?
34682Oh, by the way, sign this for me, will you?
34682Oh, by the way, what''s the significance of that octopus thing on your back?
34682Oh, is he a farmer?
34682Oh, so you want a job?
34682Oh, why be modest?
34682Old?
34682On purpose?
34682Our offices?
34682Pauletta is your wife?
34682Pauletta, why not show Miss Parker our rose garden?
34682Penny, are you ill?
34682Queer sort, was n''t he?
34682Shall I call the police?
34682Shall I leave the car for you?
34682Shall we dine at the Commodore Hotel?
34682Shall we go there and see?
34682So that was why DeWitt was so agreeable to all my suggestions?
34682So you admit you wrote it?
34682So you believe this key may unlock the door?
34682So you resorted to the wig and glasses?
34682Sour grapes?
34682Tell me, how is Tillie Fellows getting along?
34682That was nearly a year ago, was n''t it, Jerry?
34682The employes liked him?
34682The letter upset him?
34682The necessary capital?
34682The padlock was n''t locked?
34682Then you feel sure he did not dispose of the_ Press_ because he needed money?
34682Then you know?
34682Then you think someone may have forced your father to pay money?
34682Then you think there''s nothing to my theory?
34682There was someone a moment ago?
34682They would n''t talk?
34682They''re wanted for stealing gold?
34682This the office of the_ Weekly Times_?
34682Tillie,she said,"how would you like to work at our place for a few days?"
34682To me?
34682Two?
34682Using rather old stories though, are n''t you?
34682Was Fenestra annoyed by it?
34682Was n''t that rather foolish? 34682 Was that what he told you?"
34682Well, Penny,he remarked, hanging up his hat,"how did it go today?
34682Well, shall we go inside again?
34682Well, since you''ve fallen heir to all this, what will you do with it? 34682 Were you able to find out what Fenestra stores in it?"
34682What about the stereotyping work?
34682What are you doing here?
34682What are you trying to do?
34682What became of the building?
34682What brings you here?
34682What can he be doing here?
34682What can the man have done to offend them?
34682What could that mean?
34682What did he have on his back? 34682 What do you advise, doctor?"
34682What do you think he does there?
34682What do you think of the tattoo story?
34682What do you want done with''em?
34682What do you want here?
34682What does that signify?
34682What is his name?
34682What is it?
34682What is this, a gag?
34682What is your real name?
34682What is?
34682What makes you think that?
34682What makes you think that?
34682What makes you think that?
34682What makes you think the story would be worth printing?
34682What of it?
34682What purpose would there be in that?
34682What shall we do with these things? 34682 What staff?"
34682What was he like, Horney?
34682What was the idea?
34682What will be proven?
34682What will you do about the run?
34682What work did you do on the paper?
34682What''s that?
34682What''s the trick?
34682What''s this?
34682What''s to be gained by it?
34682What''s wrong?
34682What_ can_ he have hidden in the cave?
34682When do I start?
34682When was that?
34682When will you come for me?
34682Where do you feel pain?
34682Where do you see a light?
34682Where is Fenestra now?
34682Where may I find him, please?
34682Where''s Dad?
34682Where, may I ask, did you acquire your distribution organization?
34682Where? 34682 Which one?
34682Who is Tillie Fellows?
34682Who is he?
34682Who is it?
34682Who sent you here?
34682Who''s there?
34682Who, Louise?
34682Who-- who is there?
34682Why Thursday?
34682Why are you so convinced there''s a deep mystery connected with the tattoo?
34682Why are you trying to get into my cave?
34682Why did it take so long?
34682Why did you come?
34682Why did you steal my lunch?
34682Why do n''t you stay with me, Lou?
34682Why do you say that, Tillie?
34682Why do you suppose Judson closed the plant when it was prosperous?
34682Why do you think he gave up the paper, Horney?
34682Why does he favor your marriage to the Major?
34682Why else would the girl wear one?
34682Why have you been hiding in the building?
34682Why indeed? 34682 Why not?
34682Why not?
34682Why should I?
34682Why this sudden display of interest?
34682Why, Penny, do n''t you understand?
34682Why, may I ask?
34682Why, what''s wrong?
34682Why, where''s Joe?
34682Why?
34682Why?
34682Will it be necessary to remove Joe to a hospital?
34682Will it do?
34682Will the building go?
34682Will you come here, please?
34682Willing?
34682Without his hat?
34682Wo n''t Dad be waiting at the_ Star_ office?
34682Wo n''t it make a dandy feature for the_ Star_?
34682Wo n''t you stay for a few minutes?
34682Wonder how the row started anyway?
34682Wonder what made them run?
34682Wonder where he got it?
34682Yes, I wonder where Dad found him? 34682 You are a sailor?"
34682You bought a cottage?
34682You did n''t ask him any questions?
34682You did n''t question him about it?
34682You did n''t see the license number?
34682You did n''t see the one who did it?
34682You do n''t think he''s the one?
34682You fell?
34682You have friends meeting you at the boat?
34682You have n''t any idea as to whom he meant?
34682You have n''t told Pauletta?
34682You have no evidence to support such a theory, Horney?
34682You have no place to go, Tillie?
34682You have what?
34682You heard us talking?
34682You know who wrote this?
34682You may have read in the newspapers that I am engaged to marry Major Howard Atchley?
34682You mean Fenestra had hidden himself in the cave?
34682You mean Fenestra set the fire?
34682You mean financial?
34682You mean for good? 34682 You mean that if one were able to read several tattoos together, the words would make sense?"
34682You mean the firemen failed to save the_ Star_ building?
34682You nearly startled me out of my wits,she laughed shakily,"What brought you here, Bill?"
34682You never learned why Joe was wanted by the authorities?
34682You saw that?
34682You think he left that way?
34682You think it may have been intended as a warning to Peter Fenestra?
34682You thought that because I gave up my own paper I might not wish to see the building used by another?
34682You were going somewhere?
34682You wo n''t, will you, Dad? 34682 You''ll be cautious in crossing the river?"
34682You''ll be sure not to mention the letter?
34682You''ll do it, wo n''t you?
34682You''ll promise not to use anything I tell you for the_ Star_?
34682You''ll try for the job?
34682You''re Miss Parker?
34682You''re a former_ Press_ employee?
34682You''re certain you saw a light?
34682You''re hungry, are n''t you?
34682You''re not hurt?
34682You''re not thinking of investigating it tonight?
34682You''re not turning me out?
34682You''re really determined to try it?
34682You''re sick of it, are n''t you?
34682You''re sure you did n''t leave it anywhere?
34682You''ve been living in this building a long while?
34682You''ve not told your father that?
34682Your allowance money, was n''t it?
34682Your father knew nothing about it?
34682Your father offers no explanation as to why the man comes?
34682Your father sent you here?
34682Your friend Carl is poor?
34682Your home is on Drexel Boulevard, I believe?
34682Your opinion differs?
34682Your staff?
34682Your street sales?
34682About five hundred?"
34682And when does the first issue appear?"
34682And who was that other young man in the gray car?"
34682And why did he lie about being pushed off the bridge?"
34682And you did n''t neglect the dusting?"
34682Any ideas?"
34682As for the octopus tattoo, what is so strange about it?
34682As soon as they were beyond hearing, Penny said quietly:"Need we pretend?
34682But dare you do it?
34682But what will your father say?"
34682But why did she wear these things and then try to get rid of them?"
34682But why should the fellow come here?
34682By the way, why does he keep the storm cellar padlocked?"
34682By whom?"
34682CHAPTER 5_ COBWEBS AND RUST_"My dear young lady, do I understand you correctly?
34682Ca n''t you write some sort of story?"
34682Could financial difficulties alone account for his state of mental depression?
34682Could not the data contained in the clipping have provided an unscrupulous person with a basis for blackmail?
34682Dared she mention the clipping which she had found in the publisher''s desk?
34682Did n''t he mis- manage the paper so that it had to close?"
34682Did n''t you like it?"
34682Did n''t you, Louise?"
34682Do n''t you like Tillie''s cooking?"
34682Do n''t you see?
34682Do you know of anyone who needs a girl?
34682Do you mind writing your name on this paper?"
34682Do you think a tattoo looks better on the arm or the chest?
34682Does my description fit the man who has been working here?"
34682Does n''t she realize?"
34682Does your customer come often?"
34682Even should I permit the use of my building rent free, how would you meet such expenses as light, water and heat?"
34682For instance, what became of her escort after the steamer docked?
34682Funny place for a tattoo, ai n''t it?"
34682Has he said anything about John Munn or the tattoo?"
34682Has he talked very much?"
34682He was the fellow who ran along the river?"
34682He-- he has n''t killed anyone, has he?"
34682Horney, where did you find this letter?"
34682How about a half- roll or even a quarter?
34682How can Pauletta be completely blind to his suffering?
34682How did you know?"
34682How did you start?
34682How do you do it?
34682How long has he worked here?"
34682How many papers will you want?
34682I hope you do n''t mind?"
34682I wonder if someone disobeyed rules, or if there''s really a prowler in the building?"
34682If you hear of a job anywhere will you let me know?"
34682If you tried could you learn his name?"
34682In the old_ Press_ building?"
34682Is everything going well at home?"
34682Is he a good cook?"
34682Jerry, will you write it for the paper?"
34682Judson?"
34682Judson?"
34682Looks seedy, does n''t he?"
34682May I ask why you are so interested in the story?"
34682May we offer you a ride home?"
34682Mind if I bring Old Horney?"
34682Moyer?"
34682Mr. Parker signed the order, inquiring teasingly:"Have you engaged your pressman yet?
34682No words or anything like that?"
34682Now are you satisfied with my explanation?"
34682Now you have a fine building and equipment which is standing idle, fast falling into decay--""Decay?"
34682Out of work?"
34682Penny nodded, and then asked:"You''re a sailor, are n''t you?
34682Penny, did you leave the entrance door unlocked?"
34682Please, Mr. Judson, ca n''t I take you home?"
34682Saal?"
34682Saal?"
34682Saal?"
34682See her coming this way?"
34682Still figuring on a street sale of six thousand?"
34682Take it easy, will you?"
34682The King of England paid fifty dollars for his tattoo and what do I get?
34682The obstacles seem almost too great to overcome; do you think it could be accomplished?"
34682The question is, can we get Peter Fenestra to accept her?"
34682Thinking that it might have been one of the high school boys, Penny went to the head of the stairs and called:"Did anyone come up here a moment ago?"
34682Toss them away?"
34682Was it a tattoo, Jerry?"
34682Was it imagination or could she hear the crackle of flames?
34682Was it not possible that she had stumbled upon a motivation for Judson''s strange behavior of the past year?
34682Was the man a sailor?"
34682Weems?"
34682Weems?"
34682Weems?"
34682What about the union?"
34682What became of him?"
34682What can be the significance?"
34682What can you tell me?"
34682What could he be doing beneath ground?
34682What do you suppose he did to have a government man after him?"
34682What do you want to know?"
34682What has he done?"
34682What is your favorite design?
34682What message did he leave Fenestra?"
34682What secret did the storm cave guard?
34682What was that?"
34682What''s this?"
34682What--?"
34682When is Mrs. Weems coming home?"
34682When?
34682Where are you going?"
34682Where have you sailed?"
34682Who was the most famous person you ever tattooed?
34682Who?"
34682Why could n''t it be:_ All for one, one for all_?"
34682Why do you think he discharged me?"
34682Why do you want your housekeeper in such a place as this, Penny?"
34682Why should Anchor Joe threaten him unless he''s done something he should n''t?"
34682Why should I steal when my father is wealthy?
34682Why should I?"
34682Why should he have any interest in your paper?"
34682Why this sudden interest in Judson?"
34682Why was it always kept padlocked?
34682Why was it sent to Fenestra?"
34682Why?"
34682Will you let me show you the moon?"
34682Wo n''t you wait?"
34682Would n''t that letter I gave you be enough to send him up?"
34682You do n''t care to come?"
34682You remember how Anchor Joe talked about someone who had''ratted''?
34682You''ll not tell anyone what you''ve learned?"
34682You''re willing to give up the_ Weekly_?"
34682You''ve found another job?"
34682You''ve not shown the letter to anyone?"
34682You-- you wo n''t tell Father?"
34552A girl?
34552Again?
34552Am I any relation to that old walrus?
34552Am I any relation to_ him_? 34552 Am I getting any better looking, Dad?"
34552Am I to cook anything for the prisoner?
34552And Mrs. Kippenberg does n''t mind?
34552And actually he did n''t?
34552And did you see him enter the house?
34552And does that include free linen and a bath?
34552And her daughter?
34552And if I''m able to make an appointment, may I help Jerry cover the story?
34552And it was your husband who managed to get rid of the alligator?
34552And now she is marrying again?
34552And she refuses to notify the police? 34552 And then what happened?"
34552And there never was any?
34552And what is that?
34552And what were you doing while all this was going on?
34552And who would that be?
34552And yet--"Where did you hear the name before, Dad?
34552And you found out?
34552And you would enjoy doing it?
34552Any clues?
34552Anything else on your mind?
34552Anything happen since I left?
34552Anything more?
34552Are n''t you jumping to swift conclusions, Salt? 34552 Are the policemen at the estate now?"
34552Are you afraid you may be blamed for Mr. Atherwald''s disappearance?
34552Are you certain that was the name?
34552Are you hurt?
34552Are you sure?
34552Are you trying to kid me?
34552As an excuse for getting away?
34552At the estate?
34552Atherwald? 34552 Because of Mud- Cat Joe and his Vanishing Houseboat?"
34552But how are guests to reach the place? 34552 But how will you get home, then?"
34552But how will you get home?
34552But what will happen to Mr. Kippenberg, Dad? 34552 But where is Jerry?"
34552But which lever is the right one? 34552 But whoever heard of a trapdoor in a lily pool?
34552By the way, who is the head gardener here?
34552Ca n''t you almost feel mystery lurking about the place?
34552Ca n''t you guess why?
34552Ca n''t you remember anything, Jerry?
34552Can you get me out of here?
34552Condemned by the state, I suppose?
34552Dad, this story is developing into something big, is n''t it?
34552Dad, will you promise me one thing?
34552Did he leave any message for me before going to the office?
34552Did n''t I bring in two perfectly good scoops for your old sheet?
34552Did n''t I tell you to keep away from here?
34552Did n''t he want you on the estate?
34552Did n''t the boy tell you where he had obtained the letter?
34552Did n''t you notice his nice clean hands and fingernails? 34552 Did n''t you see anything at all?"
34552Did they garble it all up?
34552Did you actually see a wig?
34552Did you hear any of their conversation?
34552Did you meet Jerry anywhere?
34552Did you notice which path he took?
34552Did you say anything to them about Grant Atherwald''s disappearance?
34552Did your son have friends who might be apt to play such a joke on him?
34552Dietz?
34552Do I know your name?
34552Do I look like a reporter?
34552Do I? 34552 Do n''t you ever answer doorbells, Lou?"
34552Do n''t you notice anything significant?
34552Do n''t you remember me? 34552 Do you ever operate the bridge?"
34552Do you know the men?
34552Do you mean Peter Henderson?
34552Do you really think you could?
34552Do you see this?
34552Do you suppose Mr. Kippenberg could be here, Salt?
34552Do you suppose that picture is one of the gifts?
34552Do you think she would talk with you?
34552Do you think we should take the time?
34552Do you think we''ll have much trouble getting our story?
34552Do you want to go across the river now?
34552Does anything on this estate make sense?
34552Does n''t it get lonely here?
34552Does n''t it look like a metal ring?
34552Does n''t that call for a celebration? 34552 Does that mean Kippenberg is supposed to pay money?
34552Does this look like imagination?
34552Down this path, you mean?
34552Even so, what does that prove?
34552Everything all right, Aaron?
34552For instance, why does he wear a wig?
34552From those marks would n''t you say a body had been dragged across the ground toward the pool?
34552Get what?
34552Government men?
34552Harm?
34552Has the man been in your employ long?
34552Have I? 34552 Have n''t I told you that the trucks need this space to load and unload?"
34552Have n''t you been doing a pretty strenuous job of running the paper right from your bed?
34552Have you had your dinners?
34552Have you noticed any other boat leaving the estate?
34552Have you seen Mr. Atherwald anywhere?
34552He disappeared?
34552He had been hired to deliver it for another person, I suppose?
34552Hear anything?
34552Help me?
34552Here in Riverview?
34552Hey, Jake,he shouted,"what''s the idea of locking the door?"
34552How about going out there with me this morning?
34552How about it, Penny? 34552 How about the alligator?"
34552How bad is it?
34552How can I tell you something I do n''t know?
34552How could Grant do such a cruel thing?
34552How could they do such a brutal thing?
34552How dare you disregard my orders? 34552 How did they get you here?"
34552How did you get along with your assignment?
34552How did you happen to be in Corbin, Dad?
34552How do you travel when you''re in a hurry?
34552How far to Covert?
34552How is our invalid today?
34552How long ago was that?
34552How long do you suppose he''s been like this, Dad?
34552How long have you been here?
34552How long will you be gone?
34552How long?
34552How soon can you start?
34552How would you like to sell this hat?
34552I been worryin''about that young feller,he admitted, and then with a quick change of tone:"Say, you''re not Mr. Parker, are you?"
34552I suppose Miss Sylvia is as overbearing as her mother?
34552I suppose you think Mrs. Kippenberg is keeping young Atherwald a prisoner in yonder tower?
34552I wonder if it is n''t too late?
34552I wonder what is causing the delay?
34552I wonder what the man was doing at the estate?
34552I wonder where this path leads?
34552I wonder which one of the servants spoke to him? 34552 I wonder who gave the painting to the bride?
34552I''ll tell you, why do n''t you telephone long distance?
34552If that old quack, Doctor Horn, does n''t let me out of bed today--"You''ll simply explode, wo n''t you, Dad?
34552If the boss''daughter wants to park her jitney in the paper chute it''s okay, see?
34552In this cabin?
34552Is Leaping Lena running up huge garage bills again?
34552Is he a new man?
34552Is he alive, Dad?
34552Is it something extra special, Dad?
34552Is it two o''clock yet?
34552Is the bridge really safe?
34552Is the story incorrect?
34552Is there anything else you would like?
34552Is there anything unusual about it?
34552It was worth it, was n''t it?
34552Jerry?
34552Just get back from Corbin?
34552Just how, may I ask?
34552Learn anything more after I left?
34552Louise, do you know what I think?
34552May I see how you do it?
34552May I speak with Sylvia Kippenberg?
34552May I try?
34552Me? 34552 Meaning?"
34552Minny?
34552Miss Hilderman is ill?
34552No luck?
34552No what?
34552No? 34552 No?
34552None at all?
34552Not the girl?
34552Now get out of here, will you? 34552 Now where are you going, Penelope Parker?"
34552Now where are you going, Penny?
34552Now where did this come from?
34552Oh, Salt, would n''t it make a grand story if only we could learn what became of him?
34552Only that far? 34552 Penny Parker, what are you saying?"
34552Penny, what happened?
34552Perhaps you can explain why it was postponed?
34552Pretty fellow, is n''t he?
34552Really? 34552 Reporters, eh?"
34552Salt,Penny asked abruptly,"how did you get that picture of Atherwald?"
34552Say, Chief, you''re not aiming to spill the story, are you?
34552Say, what are you driving at?
34552Say, what''s got into you anyway?
34552Say, who do you think you are, tellin''me--?
34552Say, why am I telling you all this anyway? 34552 See someone you know?"
34552See that heavy- set fellow with the tattooed anchor on his arm? 34552 See those two men standing in front of the drugstore?"
34552Shall I wait for you?
34552Shall we hide?
34552Sitting here all day long?
34552Snooping, eh?
34552So I''m a tyrant, am I?
34552So Miss Kippenberg does n''t like questions?
34552So it is you?
34552So late? 34552 So late?
34552So that''s the way a G man''s mind works?
34552So you are the ace sleuth? 34552 So you found Atherwald''s hat?"
34552Sure, why else would they come sleuthing around at a time like this? 34552 Surely, you''ve heard of Mrs. Clayton Kippenberg?"
34552That you, Chief?
34552That you, Penny?
34552The Colonial is quite an expensive hotel at Corbin, is n''t it?
34552The bridegroom?
34552The bridegroom?
34552The fellow you saw cruising about the Kippenberg estate? 34552 The police?"
34552Then do n''t you think Jerry and Salt have earned a raise?
34552Then is the estate across the river?
34552Then should I try it alone?
34552Then the man has been ordered to keep persons away from this part of the estate?
34552Then what about us?
34552Then why are we waiting?
34552Then why do n''t we go there?
34552Then why do n''t you send one of the regular reporters? 34552 Then why was the vault ever built?"
34552Then you believe as I do that he did not go away purposely?
34552Then you do n''t like him?
34552Then you do recognize it?
34552Then you know the reason why this part of the estate is kept closed off?
34552Then you prefer that I print my own conclusions?
34552Then you refuse to retract the story?
34552Then you''ll let me cover the story?
34552Then you''ve located Kippenberg?
34552They did n''t learn about the alligator?
34552Think you could do''er by yourself now?
34552Thorny, are you any relation to the Kippenberg''s head gardener?
34552Thrown away?
34552To the Kippenberg estate?
34552Tools, you mean?
34552Want to see something else I fished up?
34552Was that a call for me?
34552Well, Atherwald, have you changed your mind? 34552 What about it?"
34552What about it?
34552What about my pin? 34552 What about them?"
34552What about them?
34552What are you doing here? 34552 What are you doing in Corbin, Penny?"
34552What became of that?
34552What can it be?
34552What do we do now, start after the police?
34552What do you hope to gain by coming here, Penny?
34552What do you mean?
34552What do you see?
34552What do you think of it?
34552What do you think of this route, Joe?
34552What do you wish of me?
34552What does Jerry have that I have n''t got?
34552What doin''?
34552What else did you learn? 34552 What for, Penny?
34552What happened after you left Andover?
34552What happened anyway?
34552What happened to the paper boy this morning?
34552What have you found?
34552What is it, Penny?
34552What is the name of this bush?
34552What luck, Les?
34552What makes you think not?
34552What purpose could the tower have?
34552What puzzles me is where does he get the money to pay for all this?
34552What shall we do about Flora?
34552What sort of an affair is it?
34552What time is it now?
34552What were they saying anyway?
34552What were you saying about alligators?
34552What will happen when she tells them that she did n''t lock the door?
34552What''s down there?
34552What''s the idea?
34552What''s the matter with that man anyhow?
34552What''s the matter? 34552 What''s the matter?"
34552What''s the use?
34552What, Dad?
34552What?
34552What?
34552When will you do it next time, Mr.--?
34552Whenever the_ Riverview Star_ has a baffling mystery to be run down to earth, will you promise to call in your ace sleuth?
34552Where am I?
34552Where am I?
34552Where are they now?
34552Where are we now?
34552Where did Jerry rent his boat, Dad?
34552Where did you find it?
34552Where did you find it?
34552Where did you get it?
34552Where did you get it?
34552Where is Salt now, Jerry?
34552Where were you digging?
34552Where?
34552Which rivers flow past the estate, Salt?
34552Who are you anyway?
34552Who gave you the note?
34552Who is it?
34552Who is this, please?
34552Who were those men, do you suppose?
34552Why did n''t you call the police?
34552Why do n''t you get one and stick to it?
34552Why do n''t you open it?
34552Why do n''t you telephone the police station now?
34552Why do n''t you try me?
34552Why do n''t you try working out your resentment on a tennis ball?
34552Why do you suppose the path is blocked off?
34552Why is such an ugly brute kept here?
34552Why not? 34552 Why not?"
34552Why would any person in his right mind keep such a creature here? 34552 Why, Dad?"
34552Why, how do you mean?
34552Will you explain to your aunt about my sudden disappearance?
34552Will you need me again?
34552Will you please ask that my car be sent to the door?
34552Will you ride home with me?
34552With Penny as first assistant?
34552Wo n''t you come in, Jerry?
34552Would she talk with you?
34552Would you like to have me bring that to the office, too?
34552Would you prefer that those cruel men carry out their threat? 34552 Yes?"
34552Yes?
34552You did n''t hear what they were saying?
34552You did n''t learn anything, did you?
34552You did n''t see any prisoners chained inside?
34552You fished that out of the water?
34552You have no idea what the note contained?
34552You have seen him? 34552 You know what I think they''re after?"
34552You mean after Mr. Kippenberg went away?
34552You saw them visit the estate?
34552You think this picture is a copy of it?
34552You understand your instructions?
34552You were saying that you picked it up near the lily pond?
34552You''ll see what you can do about it?
34552You''re all right, Penny?
34552You''re certain?
34552You''re not one of Miss Sylvia''s guests?
34552You''re not provoked at me, Dad?
34552You''re not starting back to Riverview?
34552You''re not suggesting that the man may have had something to do with Atherwald''s disappearance?
34552You''re not trying to hint that I had anything to do with Grant Atherwald''s disappearance?
34552You''re worried about Jerry, are n''t you?
34552Your mother, you mean?
34552Alligators are a bit too-- shall we say sensational?"
34552And what fate did Atherwald meet?"
34552Any ideas?"
34552Are the Kippenbergs at home?"
34552Are we supposed to swim over?"
34552Atherwald?"
34552Atherwald?"
34552But if he is n''t a gardener, then who or what is he?"
34552CHAPTER 23_ AT THE HIDE- OUT_ Before the man could pull open the closet door, a booming voice called impatiently from shore:"Say, are you coming?
34552Ca n''t Miss Hilderman''s assistant take over the duties?"
34552Ca n''t someone tell me?"
34552Can you lower the bridge?"
34552Could it be imagination or did they hear an answering cry?
34552Did he have any known enemies?"
34552Did n''t Louise telephone you?"
34552Did n''t we hear gunfire as we turned in here?"
34552Did you bring an implement to saw through the bars?"
34552Do n''t you see, the drawbridge has to be a copy of the picture?"
34552Do you really love Grant Atherwald?"
34552Do you think he will escape punishment as his wife believes?"
34552Footprints?"
34552For that matter, the painting may have been in his possession--""Then you think the picture was presented to Sylvia Kippenberg by her father?"
34552Grass trampled?
34552Griffith?"
34552Had Thorny failed to hide the key there?
34552Had he lost the band accidentally or deliberately thrown it away?
34552Had the light been blown out by the wind?
34552Have you heard about Jerry?"
34552Have you learned something you have n''t told me?"
34552Have you notified the police about Mr. Atherwald''s disappearance?"
34552He looked the two girls over appraisingly and added:"Ai n''t you children a long ways off from your Ma''s?"
34552How about a little supper tonight?"
34552How about poor little me and my story?
34552How can I face them?"
34552How would you like that?"
34552I hate to send you so far, and then I have a feeling--""Yes, Dad?"
34552I wonder why that gardener told so many lies?"
34552Is Jerry still in the hospital?"
34552Is he missing?"
34552Is it true he is wanted by the authorities for evading income tax?"
34552Is n''t that my usual occupation?"
34552Is that any crime?"
34552It was at the front door, you say?"
34552Jerry Livingston, for instance?"
34552Just where did you pick up the ring?"
34552Kippenberg?"
34552Last time she came along I was weedin''out my corn patch and was she mad?"
34552Noticing a small boy in dirty overalls who sat at the water''s edge fishing, he called to him:"Say, sonny, who was that fellow, do you know?"
34552Now are n''t you sorry?"
34552Now could she remember how to lower the bridge?
34552Now will you get out of here?
34552Oh, why ca n''t we follow them?
34552Oh, why did n''t Jerry hurry?
34552Only is n''t it getting late?"
34552Penny stepped into the boat and then asked:"Are n''t you the same lad I saw here yesterday?"
34552Remember that big party Dad threw at the Comstock Inn?"
34552Say, you tryin''to insult me?"
34552Shall I take the breakfast tray up to Dad?"
34552Shall we invest a few nickels?"
34552Shall we let it go?"
34552She could n''t very well ask:"Have your parents separated?
34552She cupped her hands and shouted to Jerry:"How am I going to get over there?
34552She did say carelessly,"Your father is away, is n''t he?"
34552She started away, then paused to inquire casually:"Is this drawbridge really out of order?"
34552Should I go after him?"
34552So your father disposed of it?"
34552Tell me, how did it come into your hands?"
34552The wedding is definitely off?"
34552Then he inquired:"Did you notice any signs of a struggle?
34552Then, with a quick change of mood she asked:"Did you get Aaron Dietz and his men?"
34552There was no heading, merely the initials:"J. J. K.""Could that mean James Kippenberg?"
34552Think I''ll pass inspection?"
34552To the boy he said:"Son, how would you like to earn five dollars?"
34552Was it not given to her by your husband?"
34552Weems?"
34552What did you hook, a mud turtle?"
34552What do you suppose they wanted over there?"
34552What do you think has become of Jerry?"
34552What happened anyhow?
34552What mischief did you get into this time, Penny?"
34552What shall we do?"
34552What would he be doing here?"
34552What''s so remarkable about that?"
34552When she reached the door he inquired:"Are n''t you forgetting something?"
34552Where do you keep your boat?"
34552Where do you think I seen him the other night?"
34552Where''s Jerry?
34552Where?"
34552Who are you?
34552Who gave it to you?"
34552Why did n''t Jerry come with the police?
34552Why did your father leave home?
34552Why do n''t you go?"
34552Why should I try to deceive you?
34552Why would n''t it be a good idea to send me out there again today?"
34552Why, Penny, what do you mean?
34552Will she burn up when she sees it on the picture page?"
34552You are handcuffed?"
34552You never saw your attacker?"
34552You want to push me in?"
34552You were at the door when Mr. Atherwald arrived?"
34552You''re not going there again?"
34552You''re not one of those sneaking reporters?"
