V.,,.'' ": Charlotte Becker iri Ainslee's Magazine.' K The. DevilV Inn. BY M. QUAD. . COPTHIQfiT, 190O.BTC B. tlWIS. , If you have ever visited the city of Zacetacas. Mexico, you have heard the story of "The .Devil's Inn" and been mystified over it. ; If you hare notf heard the story "by. word of mouth, you will be interested In it ' v. " . On the highway to San Luis, about four miles out of Zacetacas, are the ruins of the inn. They have been ruins since 1884. For- ten years previous to that the inn was unoccupied and grad ually , falling into decay- The name given liwhen it was built and opened for business was "The Holy Rest.'? The name had .no peculiar significance. If holy - men ever ' came' that way, they found the-place full of sinners. The landlord and most of his customers were a hard lot, and during the four or five years the place flourished it had a bad name. - The authorities had about determined to close the inn up when it was suddenly abandoned by the owner. The . most that could be learned from the servants was; that a stranger came there one night and had. a long and cbnfidentiai conversation with the land lord, and next morning both were miss ing., The place was . overhauled, but no traces of murder were found. The servants scattered, the doors were nail ed up, and, "The Holy Rest" was left to darkness and the bats. Of course it soon had the, reputation of being haunt' ed, and after a couple of. years an. iri cident occurred that gave it . a , still worse, name. A young man belonging to one of the best families of Monte rey, who happened to be in Zacetacas on a visit; made a wager that he'would pass a night alone In theinnj He rode" out before dark, well armed and pro vided with lights, and was seen to en ter the place by a window. - Next day his naked body was found on the high way in front of the house. He had been terribly dealt with. His ribs had been crushed, his face bitten as if by a dog, and his clothing had been clawed off his body. He had been dead for hours, and it was the opinion of the doctors that he had been attacked by a wild beast. - - A -company , of 50 soldiers went out and searched the inn. The search was a thorough one, but no trace ,of man or animal could be found. It was discov ered that the young man had been at tacked in a particular room, and, after being killed and stripped, his body had been carried out, but the facts stopped there. A man,; unless a lunatic, would not have shown such ferocity, and a man must have left traces behind him. If wild beast, where was his lair? How did he manage to carry the body out?; There was no manner of wild beast in Mexico who could have done such a thins. .-' r I was one of the four American civil engineers employed by the local gov-. ernment of Zacetacas in the year nam ed to make surveys for a drainage ca nal, arid of course! heard of "The Dev il'sInn," as it had long been called. That the people were earnest and sin cere in their talk made no difference to me. I had no , belief In haunted houses, and my sarcastic reflections made - me enemies. ; Perhaps things would not have gone as far as they did but for the chief of police of Zacetacas. He called on me, one day in serious vein and said: ' ' "I want to warn you against making any foolish move in connection with The Devil's Inn.' The place is surely haunted and dangerous to life, no mat ter what you may think. Don't be silly enough to pay it a night visit,' as I hear you contemplate doing." ' L had contemplated nothing of the kind, but the chief had scarcely finish ed when I was resolved to take that very step, ' My churh was named Clark; a young man from Chicago, and I had no sooner, broached the subject to him than he was ready for the adventure. For fear that the authorities might $top us we let only a few people into pur plan, and one Saturday afternoon," equipped with everything deemed nec essary, we were driven out to the Inn. After shaking hands and" bidding fare well with those who had accompanied ris we entered by an unguarded win dow, -and the carriage drove off. . It was a rambling one story building con taining 14 rooms. There was an office or bar room, a dining room, a kitchen, and the remainder were sleeping rooms. There was a cellar under the kitchen only.: .All the furniture had, been left, and everything was mold and decay. Our .first step was to carefully inspect every room and the cellar, and we did not find so much as a rat. We looked for fecret panels in the partitions and for hidden traps' in the floors, but we made no discoveries. , ;' , - '. ,' .' : The dining room was about 16 feet square, with a long table in the center and a dozen stools about. There were three windows In this room, but all strongly boarded up. One door opened from the office and another from the kitchen. We lighted candles, braced the doors securely and started a bit of a fire in the open fireplace to drive out the dampness. We had brought- oar pipes, wine and luncheon, with a Dack of cards to divert ourselves, and neither of us "had the slightest idea of anvthinz occurring to alarm us.: As we sat down to the cards our revolvers were laid on the table, and we laughed and joked without restraint We had braced . the : doors shut with stout boards, arid our first alarm came when one of these boards fell down and the door swuna wide operi so that we could look into the kitchen. The fall, of the, board looked like an accident, but there was something curious In the way the door swung clear back. Both of jia were a. bit mystified, but we .arose and secured the door again ana went on with our game. ; This incident happen ed about 10 o'clock. " Thr,ee-quarters of an hour later the door leading to the office was tried from the far side. .We not only heard It creak and give, but we. could see the brace quiver under the strain. There was no sound of foot steps or whisperlrig. Rising with the utmost caution, we grasped our re volvers and tiptoed to the door. When we. reached it, we suddenly jerked the brace away and sprang back. The door flew back with great violence, but there was nobody on the other side. . We en tered the office with our candles, but the spiders In their webs were the only 'living inmates. Some one had tried that door. Some one had flung it wide open as the brace was removed. Clark and I laughed at each other, but. we both felt awed and mystified and a bit afraid.' When the door had been secured as before, we returned to our game and spoke in whispers and Kept very quiet. After half an hour we abandoned the cards and sat listening. I think it was half an hour after midnight and we were both probably nodding in sleep when both doors were suddenly burst open, with a crash, our candles were blown out by what seemed a strong wind, and next instant I was seized, lifted off my feet and carried to the broken window of the office and flung out. While I yet lay on the ground Clark followed me, and we heard a queer sort of, chuckling from the win dow' above. We' both, scrambled up and ran for our lives and in time reach ed the city. Neither of us was much hurt, but we had received a great fright What had attacked us we could not say ; but whatever It was, it bad the strength of three average men. We. went at once to the police, but even as we told our story- we saw a red glare on the sky and knew that "The Devil's Inn" was on fire. Next day, as we visited the' place with a strong detachment of police,, we found nothing but the walls standing." The unknown something that had flung, us out had fired the place by accident or design, and the smoke stained adobe walls are yet there for you ta see and 'wonder over. Tboagrht Be Grasped the -Idea. .. In the fifth grade of a grammar school not many . miles ' f roita the statehouse the following story waa read by the teacher and the class told to write it from memory: "A farmer planted a field of corn and placed a net over It as a protection from the -birds. Next morning he found a number of cranes and a stork caught in the net f The. stork, begged the farmer to re lease him, saying, 1 am a bird of ex cellent character.' The farmer laughed and said, Tou were caught in the com pany of these robbers, and with them you must die.' " Great stress was laid upon the word "character," the teacher explaining that a boy, girl or bird found in bad company showed great lack of char acter. . The- following is a -copy of one of the papers actually produced and handed in by one of the pupils, a boy of 11: "A farmer went out in the farm one day and he saw character and between them was a stork. "He caught the stork and the char acter. ' The stork begged the farmer to set him free. But the farmer said you were In there company and you must die with them. ... "The stork said he was not like char acter. . I am bird of freedom." Boston Transcript - . . - "Cistrley" sin d "Jack." "There was Mr. B" said Mr.' Spur geon; "he fwas a big man in his way and seemed very anxious to make me his friend," Hei .was very hospitable and eenerous. I . was f riendlv and agreeable with him. Then he began to call me 'Charles.' I looked at him. 1 did not mind it much, but had be been my father or brother "he could scarcely have done more. I. thought 1 would let him see how it looked, so I called him ,'John.' He did not see my pur pose and so went on to call me 'Char ley.' Then I called him 'Jack.' That cured him, and he dropped it But 1 could see he had tittle of he sense of propriety." .

The salary of the average bank clerk ranges from about S3 shilling a week;! but In many banks the salary la much lower and the chances of promotion very small. A clerk's money is greatly diminished by his having to subscribe to numerous funds, such as a "sports" fund, to keep the cricket or football grounds In order, which he himself Ls never able to see. Saturday Is no holiday for him. as he docs not leave the office on those days until about 4 or 5 o'clock. It must not be supposed that the day's work of a bank clerk ends with the closing of the bank to customers. In fact it only begins at that time. London Express. The Hast "With a Paper.
