Grass Lake, Mich., Dec. 28,1894. X hare been troubled with heart disease 15 years or more. Most of the time I was so bad It was not safe for me to po out alone, as dizzy spells would cause failing.

KO-IIANA-SAN, She was a little, winsome, light hearted Geishua, with a elett in her rounded chin nd evonescent dimples, Citpid’s pitfalls, conning and going in her soft cheeks, whereby she hud earn ed the name of “Sne-who-smiles.’’ In nil her 18 years of lmppy, dan cing life she had never known a troub ie, never felt the approach of sorrow, except in the tender disguis** of a lin er's plaint, either real or imaginary or the one of the poems she could chant sb pre tily to her sannsen. Yet all the sultry hours of the fore i oon she had sat at die window of her own small apartment lost in a rev arie, with a pensive expression on her usually sparkling face. Her small head, weighted vvilli its massive loops and coils of shining black hair and decorated with many a fanciful eo b and pin, rested on the ledge, and the sweet dark ayes looked wistfully toward the corner of the mu row street—so narrow that by leaning far out you might have touched hands with your opposite neighbor. There had been sounds of anisic and of rhythmic footfalls from the adjacent houses, glimpses of fluttering fans gav ripples of laughter and snathes nt song, showing that the Geishas were practicing their accomplishments, but Ivo hana-san had neither stirred nor replied to any passing salutations. Her thoughts were engrossed with the memory of the handsome English man whom she had seen not once, but thrice, lately and again last night at the house of Takunara, whither she had been sui t to amuse the guest. The recollectiou filled her mind of a pair of bold, blue eyes glancing at her with amused admiration, of the flushing of white teeth in a merry sn’.le under the sweep of a fair mus (ache, of sunburned hands clapping m applause,at the close of her favor ite chrysanthemum dance and of ex clatnalions in a voice whose intonation seemed to her mors musical than that of her compatriots- “Bravo!’’ she murmured to herself. “Encore!”—she could sc.Arcely luau a”e (lie queer little foreign words—‘T wonder what ha meant? Thev were words of kindness, I am sure.” Stie rose, and spreding out her fan, with its invalid ivory sticks and gay device <>f gauzy flowers and birds, slowly Bogan the weaving paces and waving hands of the maple dunce he h ad liked so well. Kn hanasan knew that its graccfel movements showed her at her very best. The willowy, slender figure sway ing so daintily in its kimono of pale brocade, the tiny feet stepping to and fio, the small, [dump hands were all displayed to advantage, and, besides an innate grace and refinement, sha was also possessed of the highest or der of Japanese beauty. No Geisha had longer or finer hair, or a more dazzling whiteness of skin to contrast with its dark beauty, or lips that were more like a cherry when it glows in tha sqn. And as she s ood there, her black eves gleaming from Le ween half clo-ed lids, the languid mischief :n them accentuated by toe upward curl of dark lashes at the corners, she looked as seductive a little ni ci as man’s heart c ,u;d desire A ([iiick step in the stree firm and strong footed, drew her quickly to tho window, and, half involuntarily, she J snatched a lotus bud that res ed in ' the folds of her obi and leaned out with it in lier hand. Someone passing looked up, and, l with a smile of recogniti on lifted a i straw hat and revealed a thick crop of waving, brown hair. Ko hana-san’s heart b at fast be neath the embroidery of her han-zeri and the dimples appeared for the first time that day. “Koinban-wau!” (“Good evening!”) | said the handsome stranger. ‘O me wa noshi no jro ni kirel!” : (“Your eyes are as beautiful as the stars!”) The dimples deepened, and . u soft glance from the dark eyes ' be HOMER. RANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA : SEPTEMBER 17,18%. trayed encouragement But the stranger’s vocabulary iu the Japanese tongue was limited. He was an artist by inclination, not by profession, roving in search of novel scenes and stray bits of color, and he was seized with a desire to sketch then and there the attractive picture in its bamboo frame ab>>ve him. He took out his book anil a pencil and leaning against the opposie wall, with a sign to her to remain still, be gan rapidly touching in outlines. Several pretty forms and faces ap peared at the surrmndiag windows, and a little murmur of pleasurable in terest, with smothered laughs, floated round them, but Paul Verulam sketch on, and Ko-hana-san still preserved her careless attitude and gracious smile, one little band, from which dan gled the lotus bud, drooping, with studied negligence, over the sill. Presently he held up the sketch- Slio looked and nodded approval, and then, smitten with a sudden shyness wholly new and unaccountable toiler withdrew from tho window, but not befoie she had dropped into his out stretched hand the lotus. She caught a glimpse, as he turned of his putting tlio flower into the but tonhole of his coat, and then she wait ed till the sound of his steps diminish ing told her he was near the end of the street. Then she looked o t again and softly called, “Sayonara!” (“Good by!”), and lie, glancing round, raised his hat in farewell. But, alas, as ho did so the flawer fell from his coat, and unheeding lus loss, ho passed on turned the corner and was gone. He had set his foot unwittingly on the hud where it lay in the road and trampled it into the dust. Poor little half blown flower ! its life had been sweet, but short. lvo hiuia-san pressed both her hands to her breast with a quivering sigh, and the first passionate tears of tier life, tfie ttie bittersweet baptism of nasceet love, gathered iri her beautiful eyes arid fell slowly down her cheeks She realized with a thrill that was half joyful and half terrified that his love, if which she had heard, but which had never touched the exper ience either of herself or of sister Geishas, had entered into her heart and that henceforth both her laughter and her tears would be subject to his sovereign will and power. Three times had the moon waxed anil waned since tho night when Ko liana-sau learned how to weep, and in that time she had laughed lar more often than she hud wept. For had not the stranger, Paul Veru lain, succumbed to her grace and fas cination and was she not envied of all the Geishas in Tokyo for his sake '? lie had oven bought her freedom by payment of nearly 2,000 yen and had given her a little house of her own, in which she was weary of ar ranging the pretty trifles ho collected for her—quaint screens and scrolls and fans, bits of cuiious carving or pieces of embroidered satin exquisite m workmanship and color. it was sidl a wonderful thing that he should notice her, should care to pfc-ase Eer, this stalwart young Ell. giishruun who seamed as a god. To her their companionship had been a glunpstf of paradise, And to him ? To him it had been as an afternoon spent with the lotus eaters in the midst of a toilsome jour, j ney; an hour ot repose snatched from I the burden and hurry of life; an inter lude of delicious, dreamy music, shin iog like a gem in a rough setting of daily common aces and discords an illustration iti one. Ehe had captivated his wiyward ancy—this little brighteyed, gentle voiced Japanese girl—and lie had loitered in Tokyo week after week or her sake, or rather for the sake lie amusement he found in her so ci iv. It pleased him fo watch her child like delight in her i e.v surroundings, and his sense of beauty was satisfied by her graceful dancing. She had many small accomplish ments, too with which she had been wont to beguile his leisure. Then one afternoon ne said to her with assumed carelessness : “Ko-hana sail, would you like to stay here when I am gone, or would you rather go to your frieuds again?’’ She paused m her occupation of embroidering a little panel with silk and beads to.look at him for a mo ment, and then said tranquilly in her own sweet sounding language : “I will stay here until you come back. Where are you going?” “But lam not coming back,’’he said more earnestly. “I am only a bird of passage, you know, little jewel, and I must go home now. My holiday is over. They are waiting for me over the water.” She gazed very steadily at him in deep thought then laying her hand on his arm : “Paul,” she said, “take me with you I will go.” “I cannot do that, my pearl,” he answered. “It is impossible.” •‘Why?’ she demanded. “Because”—he hesitated—“because Ko-hana san, we do not travel about with our friends in that manuor. It would not do.” “But I will be your wife,” she said. “Then it will do quite well.” His wile! This little Japanese dancing girl ! How could bo explain to her, since she not understand it for herself? “You love me,” she said very softly bending iharor to him. Ho had given to her the caressing, tender affection that one gives to a pretty child who confides in one and amuses one nt the same moment. He had stooped to gather a wild (lower that had bloomed on the way side—hut love!

Yet he had no thought of unkind ness. lie had not imagined that the dawn of anew soul had come into the wistful eyes regarding him. lie took her hand very tenderly in his. “Ko-hana-san,” he said, “you would not be contented with my people. You must stay with your own friends in your own country and be happy, and you must forget me, for I am not worthy of a single tear from those bright eyes.” But she pleaded with a passionate [Continued on 4th page.] Mothers Anxiously watch declining health of their daughters.
