that If these elements did not exist anu

would have been greatly reduced 30
that the final outturn might not nave

Carobbi admitted that, though he
was supposed to be dilettnnte, he
was really professional thief who
specialized only In church paintings
and sacred objects, for which he re-
ceived high prices. He had made about
10000 lire from the triptych, as he
was forced to sell the various parts in
a hurry. as he feared that the police
were on his track. The dealers each
made five and six times that amount
on each purchase. which they bought

TWO WILD BOYS CAUGHT BY POSSE.

Several attempts were made by the
sheriff to find the place described as
the abode of the two children, but be-
cause of the wildncSS of the country
these attempts failed. The place was
finally located only after systematic
cOmbing of the forests.
When the posse arrived the boys fled
Ceeper into the woods climbing through
the thick undcrbrush and into trees
with surprising agility. the sheriff said.
The posse then surrounded the hut ana
waited until night, when the two lads
returned and were seized.
Fighting like wild animals. they dug
their teeth, fingers and toe nails. which
were like long claws, into the flesh or
the sheriff and his deputies. One got
away and climbed tree like mon
key. In trying to swing to another tree
he fell and was recaptured.
How long the lads have lived in the
woods officials do not know. They have
grown like jungle animals. without ed
ucation or knowledge of anything out
side their hills and forests. They lived
in a little hut made of boxes and SUBJ
sisted on wild roots and forest animals.
they were dressed in rags. the older
one wearing a pair Of tnttered overalls
and the other having hut torn coat
which hung in strips from his shoul-
ders almost to his knees. They were
unable to tell their names and had diff.

mentary terms.

the best guarantees against error. Per-

It wasn't necessary, however, II the
reports of the family-Robinson by
name-can be verified. And 1t seems
they are in a fair way to be. Two
weeks after they had installed them
selves In the old house, as the story
goes, one of the Robinson children was
awakened by heavy footsteps In the
room and. looking up. saw an aged
man with flowing white beard coming
toward the pallet where she was sleep

screams awakened Mrs. Robinson who
says she saw the old man as plain as
could be-" When she arose straight

still. and extended his arms, rs If to
say, "Be not afraid. l come to do no

in the fireplace. SO doing he vanished

Terrified beyond expression, Mrs.
Robinson kept to her bed the rest Of
the night, but next morning she hastily
summoned her husband, who had been
sleeping in an adjoining room. They
examined the stone to which the old
man pointed and found. after little
prying, that 1t was loose. When they
finally got 1t out of Its place they
found behind 1t a small crevice In
which there was $587 in gold!
