The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard
by A. Conan Doyle is a collection of the
adventures OF a French officer in the
army Of the first Napoleon. The stories
have been published in the syndicate
newspapers, 90 that many readers OF
the great dailies" OF the countr, are
already familiar with them. The brig
adler is a gentleman much like D'Artag-
nan in THE Three Guardsmen"-unre-
6ecting, stupid, brave, with unlimited
confidence in his sword and his ability
to WELD it. His confidence brings him
through dangers that would have over
borne reflective mind. He is in peril
OF his life twelve times in as many pages
but he draws his sword, runs it through
a man or two-he is a magnificent
swordsman, jumps on his horse, and is
of. The Brigadier tells his tales with
touching confidence that his audience
believe IL him. as a great brave Cap
tain. telling his stories with absolute
veracity. Munchausen related the in
cideDts of his life with the same conf
derce in himself and his audience. His
