H, way between the ankle and the knee, With the Acadien’s instinct to return to his home, and with a haunting memory of half-forgotten tales, Pierre Noel set his face towards Tracadie. Travel-stained and weary he arrived ac the lazaretto. With sinking heart he declared his symptoms to goud Mother St. John, and asked her did she think it was possible that he had leprosy. Alas! it was too true. With tears running down her fair cheeks, the com- passionate run pronounced his doom, He was a leper, and must enter the dreaded enclosure, which none quit alive. And so, now, poor Noel sits alone and weeps for the days that are no more. = In- vestigation into the annals of ‘Tracadie showed that his great-grandmother had been one of two sisters Landry, who wer the first todie of leprosy in Tracadie. His immediate ancestors had escaped the taint and so might he, had he not given up his bed to a boy whose illness proved to be a hidden case of leprosy. The fact of his after wards sleeping in that bed, together with his hereditary predisposition to the disease, had rendered him a victim. Most of the lepers of Tracadie are simple and uneducat ed people who do not even understand the nature of their malady. Each thinks his neighoor has leprosy, but he has not, he will be cured some day, he says, and then he plays his violin or dances, as the case may be. But Noel is different ; he realives the awfuluess of his fate, and the days of his iliness will be one long agony. The most cheerful person in the men’s ward is Gustave. Gustave is afflicted with that form of leprosy which is known as Elephantiasis grecoriiimn He strikes you as having several noses, owing to the fact of there being three excresceuces growing cut of his face in the neighborhood of his nasal organ. Gustave is young, eleven years old, and he is sprightly. As yet he has not suffered, and life in the lazaretto is for him as domestic servants. From New Bruns- wick they went to the States. One day the Kev. Mr. Babineau received a letter from a lady in Providence, Rhode Island, full of enquiries conceruing these girls, stating that one of them had died of some strange disease in a hospital in the city, and that the other, who had been the nursemaid of the writer, had for her duties, and was showing some extraordin- ary and unknown symptoms, The cure’s re- ply was of such a aature that Miss Caroline Brideau shortly after arrived in Tracadie, escorted by a detective. She entered the lazaretto an advanced leper, and in « few months died there. Leprosy is now on the decrease in Traca die. In 1888 there were but eighteen pa- tients in the lazaretto. A recent discov@ry has been made in a place called Margaree, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, of the exist ence of | prosy in three Scotch families there, and steps are being taken to secure become unfit their removal to the Tracadie hospital. It isa weird and terrible sight, that of afflicted human beings, one that will linger long in the minds of those who visit Tracadie. wonderful to sex such heroism as that show " by the sisters and by Father Babineau, it was the Sursum Corda of the more stron ‘Ly “8 we left the charity-brighte ned he ine of pe tilence and drov such sorely : : et And it is beautiful and the latter +} ‘See coe Chougut (hat we teis 2 out nto the October sun light, where Gustave, perched on the gate ° post, wrinkled his four nose sinile, and held out his mottled hand for the cents that even leper boys know how to turn to good account. into a part ing LORRAINE.
