Such was the question which several of the boys put to each other simultaneously.
"Why didn't somebody shoot at the ghost?" asked Snap.
"Why didn't you, Shep?" queried Giant.
"I—-er—-I forgot about it."
"The ghost vanished too quickly," said Snap. "But keep on guard—-it may come back."
"If it does it will get something from me sure," murmured the doctor's son, and raised his shotgun.
"What do you think it was?" asked Whopper, after a painful pause of several minutes.
"A man," answered Snap, promptly.
"A man!" cried Giant.
