Mysterious Harvest of Death Reaped
An a Haunted Hut.

In a Haunted Hut.
We were forced to camp three days
at the mouth OF the Rio FTio, which
empties into Lake Nicaragua just
where the San Juan begins. We were
Joined there by q party of German
scientists who were making tour or
the Central American republics. There
were seven in the party and two ma
tive guides. They had lost a tent In
crossing the rapids, and one Of them
was forced TO sleep In an old deserted
hut buried in the wild foliage. He was
q young Lelpsic student OF fine ply
giaue and beloved by all his compan-
ions. The natives had tried to dis
suade him from sleeping In the hut,
telling him that the place was haunt
ed. They asserted that whoever slept
there was always found dead next
morning, with a mark OF black cross
on the neck Just over the main artery.
AS proof OF what they said they
showed two omlnous looking mounds
buried In the shrubbery near the hut
which, they said, were the graves OF
two Englishmen who had sought shell
ter in the haunted casa.
Tradition had IT that some crime or
sacrilege had been committed there
and that, as a punishment, whoever
slept in the hut was found dead in the
morning with the cruz nigra on the
neck. Herr Shilbaeh, however, was
not to be deferred by any such super
stifion, as ne called it, So about 10
O'Clock he retired TO his hut. and
noticed his torch was out in few
minutes and all was darkness. We
had paid no attention to the story Of
the natives, but as Herr Shilbach did
not answer the bugle cali for breakfast
the Indians were ordered TO summon
him. 1t was only under threats that
they yielded, but scarcely had they en-
tered the hut when we heard the most
frightfuI screams and the next min
ute the guides were rushing wildly to-
ward US, shouting In broken Spanish
and Indian: "Epia Ia cruz nlgra, Ia

ran to the hut, and to our horror there
