________________ 90 THE WAY OF LIFE Fifteen years ago, this bungalow belonged to me. I was living here with my old father. My father brought me up and educated me. When I was a grown-up girl, my father passed away; and I was helpless. Since I needed money for my expenses and had no other means of livelihood, I let out this bungalow. AND JUDY'S GHOST BECAME SILENT The first tenant was a police officer like you. Our intimacy became strong; and we decided to marry. We also developed physical intimacy. I placed all my responsibilities in the hands of that officer; and entrusted the management of all my affairs to him. We began to live like husband and wife. But when I became pregnant; and when I asked him to marry me so that we might be husband and wife in the eyes of law, he refused to marry me. When I pressed him further, he murdered me”. Having said so much Judy's ghost became silent. Again after a pause, she said, “You arrest him; and see that he is punished. But where can you get evidence to establish his guilt ? I think you are thinking of this. Do not worry, I will give you all evidence. Until that criminal is not punished, my soul will be wandering thus; and I will not allow any occupant of this house to live in peace. You please think well; and take a decision. I will meet you to-morrow night just at this time”. After this, that young lady's appearance changed suddenly. Her face became completely ugly. A ghastly form like a hobgoblin rose and disappeared. Mr. Dickson decided to investigate the murder of Miss Judy. Her spirit gave him guidance just as a living being does. The remains of her dead body were recovered. Her lover who had murdered her was sought and arrested; and he was also duly punished by a court of law. Miss Judy's ghost thanked Mr. Dickson and also gave him some gifts to show her gratitude to him.
