If you know an unlucly man you
pity him, but you also avoid him. The
infantry at Fort Brown could not avoid
the unlucliy troopers, but they pitied
them and displayed no fraternal feel
ing. 1t was so from the colonel down
to the last private. Wo smile in de-
rision at the idea Of hoodoo, and vet
we do not like to rub elbows with peo-
pie who are pursued by ill-lucli. The
freshly graduated cadet knew nothing
about the hoo6oo when he was assigned
to b troop. With q boys ambition
and impGtience he had hurried from
West Point and home into the wilds of
the Far West to take active service.
There YVES no superstition about him.
He had heard of the fatalities--he saw
the dispirited look of the remnant of
the once gallant troop--he was made to
believe that he was under ban, as it
were--but he was not disheartered.
Army records will tell you what hap
pened at Fort Brown within week
after troop B rode through the gates.
The fantry had been there three
months, but not an indian had been
seen. A corporal and three men were
sent to the foothills for fuel, when
they fell into an ambuscrde and were
cut off. The four troopers were
mounted, and yet all were killed,
while the teamster made safe escape
on foot. This was the hoodoo again.
That there might be no cavil about it,
a trooper hung himself in the barracks
that night. Thus five more men were
wiped off the rolls within week, and
the troop reduced to thirty-two. The
Indians had no sooner wreaked their
vengeance on the unfortunate four
than they disappeared and none were
seen again for long weeks. 1t was as
if they had come to assist at the final
determination of the troop. When

mated by the morbid curiosity which is
aroused in some minds at the hint of a
mystery and attracted by that strange
magnetism which that sinister thing,
"a crime, arouses. The women talked
in shrill tones, inventing strange stories

common people hurried up to learn the
news.

Bernardet was quite an original char
acter. Among the agents, some of whom
were very odd, and among the devoted
subalterns this little man, with his
singular mind, with his Unsuitable Gu
riosity, reading anything he could lay
his hands on, passed for literary per
son. His chief sometimes laughingly
said to him:
"Bernardet, take care. You have lit
ernry ambitions. You will begin to
dream of writing for the papers -

Bernardet said.
Bernardet made a sign to Monich'
not to advance. He was as plump and
as gay as his wife. His mustache was
red, his double chin smooth shaven and
rosy, his eyes had sharp, cumming
look, his head was round and closely
cropped.
The three daughters, clothed alike in
Scotch plaid, were posing in front of a
Photographic apparatus which stood on
q tripod. The eldest was about IL years
of age, the youngest child of 8. They
were all three strangely alike.
M. Bernardet, in honor of his birth
day, was taking a picture of his daugh-

night tracked robbers and malefactors
into their hiding places was taking his
recreation in his damp garden. The
sweet idyl of this hidden life repaid
him for his unceasing investigations,
for his trouble and fatiguing man hunts
through Paris.
"There," he said, clapping the cap
over the lens. 'That is all. Go and
play now, my dears. am at your serv-
ice now, Moniche'
He shut up his photograph apparatus,
pulling out the tripod from the deep
soil in which it was imbedded, while
his daughters joyously ran to their
mother. The young girls stood CASING
at Moniche with their great blue eyes,
piercing and clear. Bernardet turned to
look at him, and at once OWNED that
something had happened.

BILE persons
This settled confidence in Paine's
celery compound is not a hearsay be-
lief but rests in nearly every case on
personal use on acquaintance with men
or women who have been restored to
useful health by no other means. The
rapid change for the better in color,
flesh and expression of the face is so
urmistakable that repair of the vast
ed tissues might wei b. called q renew
al of life.
The process by which Paine's celery
compound is able to build up health in
the rundown body is not hard to un-
derstand when one observes how sure
ly 1t disposes the bowels to act regu-
larly, how it increases the capacity to
take and assimilate food. and regu-
lates the nerves all over the body.
The heavy. alarming pain in the back
and loins disappears; the growing pale
ness and loss of flesh is stopped, and
bright. buoyant feeling gradually
takes the place of that unending sense
of tire and depression.
Paine's celery compound is the exact
remedy for that large class of feeble,
thin blooded, often hySterical persons
whose greatest need is a thorough re-
furnishing of their blood with the red
corpuscles upon which health and hap
piness in such large measure depend.
The extraordinary virtue of Paine's
celery compound to increase the pro-
DC rtion of red corpusceS in the blood
is the source of its great power over
all blood diseases, rheumatism, neu

many branches OF medicine, most doctors
have failed absolutely to find a successful
treatment for blood poison; they give but
one kind of medicine; they know but one

horrible and disastrous effects of these

but one effect to be obtained from potash and

drugs than the elasticity Of the joints gives
