Tale of the Witch Doll

Tale of the Witch Doll


With the sometimes reluctant help of her friend Louise Sidell, Penny Parker discovers the secret behind Melvin Osandra's seance establishment, and in turn, helps her friend Nellie Marble out of her difficulties with her doll shop. Additionally, Penny is able to free actress Helene Harmon from the plague of the witch doll that will not disappear.

EXCERPT

"Are you injured, Miss Harmon?" the man asked anxiously.
"I--I think I am all right, James," the young woman murmured. "Just badly shaken."
Penny held the car door open, and the chauffeur lifted Miss Harmon to the ground. She leaned weakly against him for a moment.
"What happened?" she asked in a dazed voice. "The first thing I knew we were in the ditch."
"That road hog in the black car struck us!" said the chauffeur angrily. "And he was too cowardly to stop."
"The first three numbers of his auto license were 386," Louise declared. "The police may be able to trace him."
For the first time the young woman became aware of the girls.
"Did you see the accident?" she inquired.
