Paris, Oct, 12-The dread lof an appari-
ton, taking the form of a girl in white.

At about o'clock in the morning. and
while they were making their way
through a gallery. Henri noticed form
coming toward him. He raised his lamp
to see who It was, but almost Immediate
ly, and in some mysterious manner the
lamp was extinguished. Henri. however
was able to take quick look ct the mys-
terious intruder, whom he described as a
young girl, draped in white.
Terrorized. the two miners informed
their companions, who at first treated the
matter lightly, but decided TO make an
investigation. At / o'clock the following
morning the men descended again, az
companied by others, and in the same
manner were confronted by the mysteri-
Gus apparition in white. The miners fed
in terror, and since then have not return
ed 10 work
The officials Of the mine have made a
thorough search for the girl in white"
but have been unable to find any one.
