A WILD NIGHT.
An engineers’ party of one of the big
mines in Sonora, Mexico, were going into
Nogales. A. T., to spen few days and
rest from the hard labo t by had put in
during several weeks. They rode north
all day and scarcely exchanged a word
between one another, but as they got
toward their destination it began to
grow dark. and then an argument arose.
Borne wanted to push on and get into the
United States, which was still about 15
miles away, and others wanted to go
into camp just where they were and
move on again early in the morning.
Both plans met opposition from a few,
and then one member of the party said
he knew where there "was a house at
which they could stop. He had never
stopped there, but he had seen the place
from a distance and had been told that
it wasa sort of tavern. The plan seemed
a good one, and all were willing to go of!
the road and find comfort for the night.
Then the man who knew of the place
began to describe the location exactly.
All listened attentively, and when 'he
had finished one member of the* party,
Fred Brewster by name, said: "Boys, I
ain’t‘ in it. You fellows go to your hotel,
but I'll ride all the way to Nogales by
myself before I go there."
“Why, what's the matter?" all asked
at once.
“Well, I can't tell you in a few words,
but I« have been there once, and I will
never go there again unless I am car-
ried."
All became excited at once and want-
ed to know all about it, and at the some
time they made up their minds to go to
the place. But they did not like to leave
Fred on the road and urged him to come
along. They said there was no danger
with such a crowd, and they were all
well armed and good fighters.
“But you can't fight with what you
find there," said Fred.
This remark made the others on 3'
more curious, but they told Fred t)
hurry up and give his reasons. asthcy
would have to be moving along in amin-
utc.
“Wcll, fellows, I'll tell you," said Fred
hesitatingiy, “but the fact bathe pluccis
hunntwi, and I won't go there; so good
by." '
A change mun-over the crowd in an
instant, and all called loudly to Fred.
who had started off on his horse. to come
back.
"I guess we Won‘t go to that place to-
nightfhsuid one member of the party,
and all cumc to the same conclusion in
a momcnt. Fred (mine back, and it was
then agreed to camp where they were.
But a strange silence had fallen ovcr
the party at the mention of a. ghost.
The idea of confronting the supernatural
will shake the nerves of the oldest plainsv
man.
As the tire was being built and the
work of fixing for the night prmwmlml

him how glad they \w-ro that ho bud

housc, Not thut tin-y \vcrc afraid of

kind could not bc comfortable :il'n-i' it

After suppn-r bud hocn disposed of and

crowd rcvitcd u litilo and ilrlii'il Fred
lo tcll the story of lllri experience in tho
huuulcd building, but all the tinnI cvcry
num was looking over his shoulder at
fro-incur intervals. Still the story bud
to come, and us Frcd had urouscd tho
curiosity of the crowd he know then-

prm-m-Ih-d at uncr- whvn ho had found it

he could look into the ilro and see tho
wreaths of smoke curl upward until ibcy
mingled with the slurs.
"it‘s only u couplo of months ago,"
commcucml li‘rml, “since I was at that
place, and why l mu hero now is more
than i uuulurshuul. I didn't any any-
thing about it at the time, because you
know a follow don't like tospcak of such
things.
“liutl was caught out one fishing
over there on the «insert and was about
to make my bed on the horse blanket
when i saw the house from a distance
and thought i might be able to get some
sort of lodging there, sol went in that
direction. Before I got to the place I
struck a good, well marked road and
wondered why I had never heard there
was arond over that way. But I didn't
bother very much, as I was too glad to
get to the place. which, as I neared. I
saw to be quite n. large building. When
I got up to it I found that it was a hotel
and seemed to be in a prosperous condi-
tion.
“The landlord came out and took my
horse, telling me to go into the front
door, where I was met by his wife, who
proved to be a kind. good natured lady
and seemed anxious to do everything she
could for me. They got me a very good
supper, and we sat in the orridor talk-
ing about different things stilit grew
quite late.
“Both were so goodnatnr and pleas-
ant that I hated to leave them. but when
Isak! leshed to retire they led me
across a large clean court with a foam
lain playing in the center and trees and
blenkfipsceswestbe bras-M
Bx. It seemed to be looking atmewhlle
I was looking about the rooms and stir-.
ring the fire, which was necessary be-
cause the place is high and the nights
are cold. f
“It must have been about midnight
when I blew out the candle and got into
bed. Oh, how cold the sheets were; It
modems feel as if I was getting into a
coffin. But it did not make much differ-
ence, and I weasoon dozingoif, hutlwas
too tired to go to sleep at once.
"Asl lay there it secmedtomel saw
a pink flame come from the candle and
rise up toward the (selling, where it dis-
appeared. Then another came, and they
kept coming, but I thought I mnstbe
very fatigued and worn out, and that
they were the result of my imagination.
Then some animal seemed to rush across
the fireplace. but when I looked all I
saw was a pile of red embers and the cor-
ners of the room filled with dark,lmpen-
etrable shadows. I ll toned, but as no
sound struck myear I thought I had
better give myself a rest and turned my
face to the wall and went to sleep in an
instant. “ '
“I may have slept several hours, and
it may have been only a few minutes,
but I suddenly came to my senses and
found the room filled with a peculiar
red glare that seemed to come from ev-
erywhere at once. Then I heard strange
sounds, as if there were people in the
rooms. But I couldn’t see any, and I
might as well any that I began to feel
very queer and reached for my revolvers,
but found that I .hadVleft them in my
saddle. But I had my knife, which I
took hold of and kept ready for any
emergency.
“The silence was unbroken for along
time, and then I heard one of the most
unearthly yells that ever struck my ears.
It seemed just outside of my door, sol
got up and peepcd out. But all was
quiet, and the fountain was splashing in
the moonlight, and the water in the basin
was sparkling cheerfully. It did not
seem as if there was anything wrong,
but I determined to ask the landlord
about it and went across the court to
find him. it was very cold, and as I
called to him my teeth chattcred dread-
fully. No :inchr came to my call, so I
went back to my room and put on more
clothes.
“Then I walked all ovcr the house, but
as I did not know where the landlord's
room was of course I couldn't find him.
"I had reached the front hall where I
entered the building and was debating'
what to do when that unearthly howl
roachml my cars again. This time~ it was
just in from. of the. door. and I owned it
as quick as I could so as to scn what was
“ . was tic same as before. I
looked over the desert for miles on one
side, and on the other the tiny was
broken by the mountains. which come
to within a short distance of the house.
Seeing nothing, I stepped outside. my
knife in my hand, and looked around.
"Before I could r. -alize what was go»

thers come from somewhere. They were
stundingon thcir hind legs and growl-

were about to make short work of me.
"I had no show this time and calmly
waited for the end to come. Both the
panthers got hold of me and started for
the mountains, dragging me over the
stones and legs as if Iwas a feather.
and the speed they made seemed swiftas
lightning. I had no idea of where I was
going and didn’t care, as] had no hope
of escape and fully expected to be taken
to the panthers’ lair and devoured.

‘ "What was to be done with me was
now a most important question to me.
The old ones did not seem as if they
wanted to devour me nor let the cube do
It. But this the cube objected to and
commenced on my feet, which were bad-
ly bitten before the old ones could stop
them. Then one of the boldest of the
cube made a rush for my threat. but I
kept him away with my arm.
”This seemed to anger the old pan-
thers, for they chased the young ones
back to the cave and then, took hold of
me again and started somewhere.
‘ ”They went faster than before, and it
was not long, although it seemed ages to
me, before I :was laid down on the
ground. I opened my eyes and found
that I was in front of the door of the
hotel. I looked again and saw that it
was open, and that the panthers were sit-
ting down and watching me closely.
But the temptation was too great. and I
had to seize the chance of escape, a1-
thongh it looked like certain death.
, “I made a sudden jump and got inside
the door and closed it after me as the
two beasts throw their huge bodies
against it.
“I was now safe and commenced call-
ing the landlord and wondered why he
had not heard the fight. It was also
evident that hotbed got up and opened
the door. But no landlord came, and as
it seemed tome I had looked in every
part of the house before I gave up find-
ing him and went to my room, where
everything was just as I had. left it, ex—
cept that the candle had gone out, but
the fire was burning brightly.
"I wanted to wash my wounds, and
as there was not much water in the
pitcher on the stand I went out to the
basin of the fountain. It was most re-
freshing tolet the soft cold water fall
over my head, and in a short time I did
not feel the least bit as if I had been
through such a terrible struggle. I sat
down on one of the seats in the court for
some time before going to bed, but the
moonlight. flower trees and the splash-
ing fountain were not long in producing
afooling of drowsiness, so that when I
laid down I was asleep in an instant.
“When I awoke, it was into in the day.
and the sun was streaming in zilluronnd
me. For sovcrul minutes I was dum-
foundo-d and wonder-MbhowI got into
the place where l was.
"It was the sumo room in which I had
laid down to shop, but it looked us if
nobody bud cutcrcd it for lUU yours. I
was lying on a pile» of rubbish. and cv-
cr'ytlung around me wus in the lust
stages of decay. i got up and trout into
the court, but the fulllllzilll was dry, and
nothing could be FM in but crumbling
walls. Tin-re was no siguvf vu-getution,
and the trees and flowers had vanished
with the water.
“I was in an awful iildlt‘ of mind and
thought at first that l bud slept in that
room for yours and years. But whcnl
made my way to llu' outer door by climb-
ing over rubbish and fallen timbers and
looked out the first thing I saw was the
two dead pnnthcrs. and it short distance
off my hursc. with his saddle still on
him, fled in u cactus.
“My mind was in u whirl. butl bad
no ilcsirv to skin the animals. so I got on
my horse and “cut to Nogulcsas fast as
Icould. win-re I put in several days doc-

The crowd had all been silent during
Fred's story, and most of them had al-
lowed their pipes to go out, but when

Why lluried With Iii-nil to the West.
All Christian nation». i lmlicvo. bury
their dead with the bond to the West.
There is it "why" for this, just as there
is for every other known custom. As
far as l have been able to ascertain after
an crimustivo search of all the leading
authorities, our present custom in burial
modes originated in primitive times,
when the people believed in corporeal
resurrection. They had an idea that in-
asmuch as the star that heralded Christ’s
coming first appeared in the east, "judg-
ment day” would be ushered in with the
Lord's appearance in the same direction,
and that when they “arose from the
dead” they Would be facing him whose
mission will be that of sounding the
doom of all earthly things—4% Louis
