Hopping out of bed, | the packed him Into her largest trunk, and with the Innocent ald of two husky orters his getaway was accomplished before the police could find the key to} the situation, | Like a true Kentuckian, Mr. Warner gave no further thought to the shoot: | ing, His next step was to get out of the Princess's trunk in her cabin on the usttania, Before doing this he caused a great deal of feminine anxtety by | raking the trunk dance, “He must be smothering,” gasped Row B, sympa- | thetically, “Get out of that trunk!” urged the more practical Row D. It took | ‘Mr. Warner quite a long time to straighten up. He did a capital bit of acting | vetting the kinks out of hie back and legs. By the time he got to Spain he was | & very smooth proposition. Still, the matinee girls, young and o14, couldn't help worrying about him. ‘That crafty Duke who had crossed on the same boat was up to some mischief | —they were sure of {t. In fact, he had| already engaged 4 villainous Spaniard | to look after Mm Warner at the inn.| All that the Princess could give him was hor best wishes and the little cross her| mother had worn. But the alert aud!- ence vould harily keep from giving him ‘ttmely warning that the Duke's bad man | wae waiting for him with a gun at the! foot of the etatre, Mr. Warner was about to come down wher his quick ear, | trained in Kentucky, caught the click of @ gun. Smiling knowingly, he rolled | up hie overcoat, hurted it at a lamp and| then in the darkness pumped lead into} the professional assassin. ‘The audience held its ears and ehrieked untt! Mr, Warner, carelessly displaying his trusty gun, came out and smiled as- surance that all was well with him. After the orchestra had played "Dixie" | he was ready to go to the haun‘ed castle and take a shot at the ghost. Incident- | ally, he planned to rescue the Princess's brother and find the usuat hidden treas- ure. ‘The night was dark and #0 was Bee Warmer ae Warren varie: to warner quaking henchman, Rust Bnow-yensah! There was Just light enough in the castle to let us seo that Mr. Warner was brave af a lion, Rusty‘s courage made the eftuation as funny as the old-time spook afterplece of a minstrel show, Cries of alarm came from all parts of the house and Mise Fisile Janis almost fainted in her mother's arms when Mr. Warner nearly atepped into a trap opening upon rushing waters that he casually mentioned, Before continuing the hunt for the ghost he @at down to get his second wind tn the grim shadow of a suit of armor, He didn't realize his danger until the audience gave @ wild toream, | Heavings! The armor moved!! A mighty arm drought up a mightier eword snd was about to bring {t down on Mr, Warner's unprotected head!!! ‘The fight that followed sounded Mike @ riot in a hardware etore. Finally, «lam-bang! ; down went the armored enemy Into the black hole where the waters atil! rushed, | sccording to the latest report, The next moment a faint sneeze gave the keen- witted Mr, Warner the real clue to the ghost, Drawing his gun again, he elled It at a life-sized portrait and commanded: Come out or I'll fill you full ot holes!" Whereupon there was a ripping scene and out of the picture stepped Duke. By this time the Princess was there and ready to say ae ‘ay it! begged Mr, Warner—and she kindly obliged. “The Ghost Breaker” 1s haunted melodrama of the liveliest sort.
