AS the hotel clerk uttered these words
the newly-arrived guest, tall, spare
man of forty, with side whiskers, looked
up from the register with a confident
smile as he said:

A Hotel Hoodoo.

in one of the largest hotels last night
to visitor, who in leaving, had care
lessly closed the hotel register. The
clerk insisted, and the visitor returned
to open the book and ask an explana-
tion. why, don't you know" the
clerk said, that il you shut hotel
register and don't reopen it yourself
you hoodoo the book? The next per-
son registering on that book is sure to
be dead beat. At least that is the
universal superstition among hotel
men, and my observation has been that
there is something in it. l wouldn't

CHAPTER XXI.


What a bright. generous food of sun.
light he left behind him. Two young
hearts glowing with an encouragement
that filled their souls with happiness
supreme.
The days passed rapidly, and despite
| the pain he suffered they were happy
days to Private Brown, for Alice was
ever by his cot encouraging him with
her devoted love. Nor was she alone
! in her attentions to the wounded man.
Every officer and lady in the garrison
called daily and bestowed upon him
the kindest attention, their hearts
glowing with admiration for his hero
ism. / said every officer. That was
not true. Lieut.. Vandever never came
near him. That officer now kept close
in the seclusion of his own quarters
only when obliged to come forth on
duty. When his troop was ordered
hastily into the saddle to fly to the as
sistance of Brown in his defense of the
commanders daughter Vandever
pleaded illness and took to his bed for
day. The looks of contempt which
were east at him by the other officers
after that day made his life one not to
be envied, and it was not long before,
ut his own request, he was transferred
to distant garrison, where he vowed
he would begin his military career
anew.
With tender, loving hands Alice ad-
ministered to her lovers every want,
and the roses decpened in her checks,
her eyes grew brighter and her musical
laugh took on a more joyous ring as
she noted his fast increasing strength.
When he was at last permitted TO rise
from his cot and walk slowly about
the ward supported by her arm, she
seemed happy and joyous as n child.
One fine morning before Alice had
cosSe to the hospital on her daily mis-
sion of love, the surgeon and Brown
sat talking in the formers office.
The patient had on the previous day
walked to his troops quarters, where
he was given an ovation by his com
rades
1T is a lovely warm morning,
Brown" the surgeon said, land if YOU
will walk slowly and not over-exert
yourself You can go and surprise the
colonel and your little nurse with
call am sure they will warmly well
come YOU"
lie needed no second bidding, and
leaning on cane for support, walked
slowly to the colonels quarters. On
the way he met several officers, and
warm were the congratulations poured
upon him over his recovery. Again he
crossed the porch as he had done few
weeks before, but not now with fear
and trembling.
Entering the hall he raped lightly
at the coloners door. The same sharp.
harsh Come in" greeted his ears, but
IL did not now ill him with alarm.
Turning the knob, he entered.
Private Brown, by all the gods of
war" cried the bluff old soldier, aris-
ing and grasping his hand. "out
again, eh? Once more on your pins?
That's right. Take a chair. am
very glad to see YOU"
For half an hour they conversed re- |
garding his wound, his return to duty |
and various other topics, but the young I
soldiers thoughts were in another !
apartment with his loved one, and he
longed TO greet her for the first time in |
her own home. Unable to suppress |
