tortuous burrowines that wind beneath
the city streets
Some years ago a party of workmen
were repairing the drains beneath the
Palace of the Louvre. They were far
below ground, digging a new channel
for drain pipes, when one of the men
uttered a cry and vanished from sight
The ground had caved in, and he had
dropped into a black, yawning pit. He
was only slightly bruised, and as soon
as lamp had been lowered to him, he
said that he was in a narrow, bricked
channel.

ties, was called in, and with two fellow

1tiently for some one or something. As
tonishing as was the presence of this
being in this closed subterranean cham
Der, it was not SO remarkable as the
mans size. He was not a man; he was
a giant
At first the explorers almost thought
the man to be alive, SO lifelike was his
attitude. But as M. Delange reached
out and touched the figure, gently it
vanished, falling into cloud of dust
Almost as interesting as this story of
the mysterious find are the conjectures
as to the why and wherefore of it all.
M. Delange went deeply into the mat
ter and concluded that the passage and
vaulted room must have been built in
the time of King Francis I, mention be-
ing found of the construction of treas
ury in which certain secret war funds
were housed. Then it appears to have
been forgotten.

investigators and two workmen he de-
scended into the passage. 1t seemed to
lead from the Louvre toward a place
corresponding with the Place Vendome.
Going carefully forward, the explorers
were able to proceed for 800 yards.
AT this point the passage branched
y two ways. But one arm was found
to be blocked up with debris few yards
from the junction. NJ Delange and his
companions advanced down the other
arm. But here again they soon found
their advance barred; but this time it
was by something more interesting than
a mass of rubble. door!
This door was constructed of iron
studded with massive bolts, and ap-
peared, when knocked upon, to be of
extraordinary thickness Special tools
had to be obtained by NJ Delange to
open it.

When Henry " came to the throne
the nations treasury was nearly ex-
hausted; but almost Immediately after
his arrival at the Louvre he became we'll
supplied with funds. Coincidental with
his sudden change of fortune was a
minor event, yet one that had its sig
nificance to M. Delange.
Henry w had bodyguard whose cap
tain was one Jules Fecamp, man of
extraordinary build, being more than
seven feet in heighth. This man, it was
noticed, disappeared within few weeks
of Henry's arrival in Paris.
Can we say that M. Delange forced
his way into the longlost treasure house
of Francis I? Also that it had been pre-
viously discovered and ransacked by the
followers of Henry w, or at least by the
captain of his bodyguard? And did
Henry for some reason leave Jules locked
in this vault?
Even Windsor Castle is credited with
a ghost. The wrath is that of woman,
and is said to haunt particularly the
queens library and the east terrace.
ONE of the more startling stories in
connection with the Windsor Castle
ghost includes the experience Sc years
ago of sentry on duty on the east ter
race
The sentry's spell of duty was nearly
over when his attention was attracted
by something moving slowly toward him
from the end of the terrace. The sentry
took a few steps toward the figure. Then
the moon came out clear from behind
a cloud, and the sentry felt the hair
rising on the nape of his neck. For there,
advancing toward him, was the figure
of woman with her face yelled, dressed
in black
The sentry raised his rifle to the
ready" and was about to challenge when
the woman flung herself on her knees
and vanished.
The man was frightened He retired
to his box and awaited the coming of
relief. And when he got back to the
guard room he related what he had seen.
No doubt his comrades made fun of him.
Some weeks later he again saw the
ghostly figure approaching. This time
he managed to utter challenge and
as the apparitions continued to advance,
the sentry raised his rifle and fired.
The shot brought the sergeant of the
guard, who found the sentry in a state
of collapse, babbling incoherently about
the hooded woman
Later, while awaiting court-martial for
unsoldierly conduct on guard, he de-
scribed what he had seen. Oficers
learned that his description tailed with
the stories of previous appearances of
the ghost of Windsor Castle, and al
though they could not admit oficially
that there was anything at all in the
mans story, their efforts resulted in his
receiving only nominal sentence.
The stories of the Windsor Castle
ghost all correspond She is always tall
and thin, always dressed in black, and
she always wears a hood or veil
This was the description given in 1896
in what is looked upon as one of the
most authentic stories of her appear
ance. A Guards officer, reading in the
queens library one night, happened to
glance up from his book and saw
woman who was tall and dressed in
black, walking away from him. Positive
that this was no mortal being, the Off
Ger followed. But after walking ahead
of him for few steps, without looking
back, the ghost suddenly vanished.

NOW we come down to quite recent
times, for this wrath was reported
seen again as recently as June, 1926, this
time in the Saxon Tower. Here a SOL
dier was surprised, knowing that the
tower had been untenanted for more
than a year, to see woman looking
out one of the windows. She was tall,
dressed in black, and as usual had her
face partly concealed by hood. He
saw her quite distinctly for moment,
and then she vanished-"as if she had
fallen through the floor" he said.
A few moments later he saw the same
apparition on the battlements, and as
he was watching, it faded slowly away.
Whose is this ghost that clings so per-
sistently to Windsor Castle? There is
very little definite information, but my
own opinion is that it is of no less dis
tinguished a person than Queen Eliza
beth, the famous virgin Queen of
England.
