lanterns.

Two miles. distant from the spot
where Monsieur Roupe now takes
folks down to show them where it
passed, they reached dome" or
crossroads, with a higher ceiling

There stood a mysterious object.
The Wagon!
Photograph OF the Wagon.
The thing, you know, existed. 1t
was photographed by magnesium
light. Herewith is the untouched
photograph And as they left the
thing just as it was, it still exists.
1t was an ancient wooden packing
case on a yet more ancient quarry
roller. It's wooden tongue was held
by something inexpicable-a human
figure made of concrete over real
bones. The white face was that of
a youth. 1t bore the conceited Smart
Alec smile of the capable young
Paris workingman." So, he was
dressed, as of 100, years ago. He held
the wagon, ready to pull it-full of
human bones!
1t stirred the explorers deeply.
They were looking for some rolling
mechanism. And yet
at is the only thing down here"
they said, that could have rolled!"
Around about were rusty picks,
and signs of interrupted work, as if
the workmen had fed-not TO re-
turn.
And then an aged workman of the
Underground Inspection told them
that there was story, though he
himself had never seen the wagon.

Trap Outlaw Wolf
After Countless

I'VE of the largest and most no

V. Magill, expert trapper of Tx
United states government. This ami
NAL had for several years ranged
alone over big scope Of territory
making frequent raids on rancho
and farms. Only a night or two be
fore he stepped between the jaws o
the giant steel fangs that marked
the ending of his saturnalian caree.
he had slaughtered 20 sheep upor
one ranch, and a dozen hogs and {
like number of goats upon neighbor-
ing ranches.
This outlaw wolf seemed to STAY
for the pleasure of the thing. He
was hunted countless number OF
times and shot after shot had been
fired at him by expert rifemen, but
he was never brought down. So de-
structive did he become that the
services of Magill were enlisted. All
ordinary means of killing or captur-
ing him seemed out of the question.
A few years ago he was caught in
a trap and escaped by gnawing of
the imprisoned foot. He was laid up
for time on account of this deean-
itation, but he ultimately was seen
going around again on three legs and
committing his predatory deeds with
all of his old-time daring and blood
letting. When Magill came upon the
animal in the trap a few mornings
ago the wolf went into a perfect
rage and it took a bullet through his
head to quiet hina 1t was found that
his body was Covered with scars
from bullet and other wounds. One
ear was gone and the other ear had
a bullet hole through it.

Paris, Already Mad OUer

Those Rur1blings From

Nm the midst of a wave OF occult

ISM, Paris is hearing again the
Dreadful Boy of the Catacombs, +"
whose "galloping" in January, 1914,
was prediction Of the world war.
This comes on top of the mystery
of the little woman" the marvel
which is said to have amazed Sor-
bonnie scientists, "a flesh-and- blood
woman, eight inches TALL" who ap-
peared out Of nothing, "foated and
turned somersaults in the air" and
disappeared.
This sort of thing does not seem
fctional to half the Parisians who
hear it. Each has some form of oc-
cultism which he, or she, believes in
since the war.

You know the Paris Catacombs.
Beneath streets and subways, full
200 steps down, under Paris, there is
another old, forgotten city Of dark,
empty ways, unknown, unmapped.
There rumbled the portent
of the war, that chilled the hearts of
mushroom growers with dumb
dread!
The Catacombs, you understand,
are the antique quarries from which
old Paris was built. Now, the
mushroom-growers are their only oc-
cupants. Forty members of the
Mushroom Syndicate possess the

lars. Tenants of mean shops, above,
they are lords of mile-long streets,
down there!
Again the Rambling.
Well, lately a boy named Gideon
was working for Monsieur Roupe in
the Holloy street. Planting spores,
down there, he heard a distant rum
bling. 1t was not the subway. There
are no sounds down there. Yet the
rumbling grew deeper, nearer, more
portentious. And, suddenly, the boy
realized that such noise was mex
plicable, impossible! Something like
q heavy train was coming up the
black ways, but Earring, humping,
echoing as with the clang of steps!
And Gideon had just time to reach
the stair when the rumble became a
roar, the roar tumult, and there
Numbered past him black shape,
amid pandemonium of nameless
noises!
Roupe, the boss, did not much like
the story, but when other mushroom
growers came to whisper about it he
got UP an exploring party. 1t was a
trip of miles, down there, amid crum-
bling pillars and partial cave-ins.

out of his way to avoid dense traffic,
and to avoid adding to it. Yet now,
while using care, he has learned to
make the most of openings. He al

But the automobile has tuned him
up, geared him a little higher,

friends say it shows in other things

The automobile has no particular

Carpenters Did
Not Show Up

Frank Moronski and B. Manzio, car
penters, residing in Cliffside, were
plaintiffs in an action for damages
brought against Elias w. Whitmore
of Grantwood. Moronski and Manzio
claimed that Whitmore owed them for
extra work done on his home, erected
in Grantwood Whitmore, however,
had not only written contract. but
plans and specifications also, which
he offered as proof that the carpen-
ters were not entitled to money de-
manded for extra work. Last Feb
ruary both carpenters employed an
attorney and filed a damage suit
against Whitmore.
After several endeavors to get
Whitmore to settle the case out of
court the carpenters, as we'll as their
attorney, failed to appear when the
hearing was called Thursday morning,
July 10. AS the case had been post
poned on three other occasions, E.
Howard Foster, justice of the First ju-
dicial court in Bergen county, dismiss
ed the case.
Judge Kenney represented Mr..
Whitmore.
