Dear Scooby-Doo,

Here is a photo of my cat Ginnie. She also has a brother called Whisky. They were called these names as both are black and white and my dad said it reminded him of his favourite drink!

Ginnie always used to play around with the peg-bag on washing day, so my dad put her in it one day and hung her up with the washing and took this photo of her. We took her down afterwards, as we didn’t want her to jump out and hurt herself.

How does a fireplace feel when you fill it with coal? Grate-full.

/ © guests tonight,’ sighed Ve “Ne might as well close up the Haunted Inn

and have supper!”’

“Yes, why not?” said Roll. “I've got some fried toadstools and spider’s web sauce!”

“Listen!” said Rattle. “Isn’t that the bell in reception? It looks like we've got a guest tonight after all!’’ He hurried out to the reception desk. “Can | help you? Ulp — ” he added, when he saw the guest. It was a headless ghost!

“Is this the Haunted Inn?’’ he asked.

“Yes,’’ said Rattle.

“Oh good,” said the headless ghost. “Ordinary hotels don’t like me, because | have no head, and it worries the other guests.”’

“It doesn’t bother us here!”’ said Roll. — a

“Oh, what a relief!’’ said the headless ghost, whose voice came from his stomach in a most unusual way. “‘l normally carry my head under my arm, but while I’m travelling, | put it in a

box, because it saves trouble. It should be arriving with my luggage tomorrow.’

“How long are you staying, sir?’ asked Rattle. ~

“I'm here for one week on holiday,” said the headless ghost.’’ I’ve been haunting a big country house, but the owners are away, so | thought I’d have a rest. | read about your Inn in the Ghost’s Gazette.”

FRIED TOADSTOO LS!

“Would you like some supper?” asked Shake.

™ can’t eat until my head arrives, I’m afraid,’ said the ghost.

“1’Il show you to your room,” said Rattle, gliding up the stairs. "You'll find it very spooky!”

“Oh, good!’ said the headless

ghost, gliding after him.

‘| hope his head comes soon!”’ said Roll. “Still, it means all the more toadstools for us!”

“il just nip outside and empty the dustbin before | look up,” said Shake.

Meanwhile, outside the Haunted Inn, Sidney Merciless was taking something out of his

- Ghost Exterminator van.

“Let's see if this works!’’ he chuckles. ‘‘Now’s my chance to get rid of these pesky ghosts at last! They’ve slipped away from — me before, but they won't slip away from this laser-beam Ghost Net!”

At that moment, out came Shake with the dustbin. He was humming a little tune to himself. “Aha!” said Mr Merciless. “Now's my chance!” He switched on his laser-beam net.

“Help!” cried Shake, struggling as the net closed round him. “Roll! Rattle! Help!”

“They can’t help you laughed Merciless. ‘““The minute they step outside, I'll catch them too!’” And he threw Shake into the back of his van and drove away. Rattle and Roll came out- side just in time to see him dis-

appearing round the corner. “Oh no!” said Roll. “‘He’s got Shake! What shall we do?” “We'll have to think of a way to go in and rescue him,” said

Rattle. The next day, the town.

policeman was looking at a pile of luggage, and scratching his head thoughtfully, for the labels had come off, and he didn’t

know where it had come froma.

“I'd better open it,” he said to himself. “That might give me a clue as to who it belongs!’

The first suitcase he opened had nothing in it but a rusty sword and lots of cobwebs. When he opened the next one, he got ane of the worst shocks of his life.

“Help!” he — bellowed. "A

head! It’s a head!” All the other

‘policemen crowded round to look. ‘This is a job for the Ghost Exterminator!” they said. “Call in Mr Merciless!’

Meanwhile, back at the Haunted Inn Rattle and Roll were trying to think of a way to save Shake when their headless guest Came up to them. “Excuse me,” he said. “I’m worried about my head. | was expecting it this morning. I’m afraid it has got

+ lost”

“We've got a problem too!’’ said Rattle. He told him about Mr Merciless and Shake. “‘He had some kind of a net,” he explained. ‘‘That’s what we don't understand — any ghost can slip through a net!”

“Hmmm!"" said the headless ghost. “It must be one of the new laser-beam nets. The owners of my house tried one of those on me.”

“How did you get free?’ asked Roll.

“Simple,” said the headless ghost. ‘‘It’s worked by a switch, like a sort of walkie-talkie. | stole it when they weren't looking.”

THE LASER TRAP!

“a r Reta, coneeeeas ATTELaSee We'll do that tonight!” said

Rattle. ‘We'll slip into Merciless’ house when he’s asleep!’’

“It’s a pity he’s not scared of ghosts,’’ said the headless ghost. “I'm terrifying when I’ve got my head!’

“You're pretty without it!” grinned Roll. - “That gives me an idea!” cried ' Rattle. ‘‘Listen — Merciless will be expecting us tonight now he’s got Shake. He’s probably planning to catch us as well.””

“Oh dear!” said Roll gloomily. “| hadn’t thought of that!”

“We don’t stand a chance,” said Rattle, “unless someone in

spooky

_ town sees a terrifying ghost, and

calls in the exterminator!”

“Nobody would be scared of us,’ said Roll. “We're. too well | known.” aes .

“Exactly,” said Rattle. ‘But they’d certainly be scared of a headless ghost!"

“Of course!” said the headless ghost. “'I’ll go and haunt the big hotel tonight to create a diversion. Then, while Merciless ‘is away, you can save Shake!”’

So the three ghosts waited until the dead of night, and then the headless ghost slipped away to haunt the big hotel in town. Rattle and Roll waited outside Merciless’ dare slip inside, because Sidney

Merciless had so many ghost

detector machines.

Down. in the cellar of his house, Mr Merciless chuckled to Shake:

“Your pals will come and get you tonight, and then they'll fall into the laser-trap. You'll all be out of town by morning!”

Just then the telephone rang.

“Oh, blast!’’ said Mr Merciless.

He picked up the receiver. ‘‘| can’t come anywhere tonight — I’m busy!”

“It's an emergency!”’ said a voice on the telephone. ‘This is

He’s standing in the bar right this

minute, laughing in a gruesome way!"”

"Oh, alright,’ ~ said — Mr Merciless. ‘‘I’ll come and take him away. It won’t take me long with my new machine!”

As soon as they saw his van

drive away, Rattle and _ Roll glided through the walls of his house to the cellar.

“Hellol’’ said Shake. “I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do to help me. You'd better leave me here.’ He was sitting in a cage made of anti-ghost laser beams.

“Can't we switch asked Roll.

Shake shook his head. ‘‘No. Mr Merciless has the switch. I’m trapped.” -

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Mr Merciless had found the headless ghost. 5

“Got you!” he said trium- phantly, pulling out his laser switch, and before he could do anything, the headless ghost was inside the laser net. Mr Merciless pulled him after him to the Exterminator van.

"Get in, ghost!’ he said, opening the door. “I’m in a hurry! I’m expecting visitors!”’

“My luggage!’’ gasped the headless ghost, looking at the boxes in the back of the van.

“Oh, it’s yours is -it —’’ began Mr Merciless, but he got no further.

“Head!’’ cried the headless ghost, ‘‘come here!”’

One of the boxes flew open, and. out jumped the head! Before Merciless could do anything, the head leaped up and snatched the laser switch out of his hand. It switched off the laser net with its teeth, and the ghost was free. He put his head back on_ his shoulders.

it off?”

FREE AT LAST!

LS SS ET A ST TD “Give me back my switch!’

cried Mr Merciless. “Nol’’ said the headless ghost.

_ He smashed the machine with his

fist, and scattered the pieces.

Back at Merciless’ house, Shake suddenly found himself free, and all three ghosts hurried back to the Haunted Inn.

The headless ghost was there when they arrived.

“Good evening,” he said. ‘‘I’d like..to introduce you to my head. He saved us all!”

“Thank you!” cried Shake, Rattle and Roll.

“At last,” said the Headless Ghost “I can have a quiet holiday!”
