KO-HANA-SAN.
[Con'itm.d from first page.]
fsrvor that was a revelation to him to
be told why his people would uot lore
her ar.d want her to he happy, and
why sheeould not go with him.
At laat, re’uctantly yielding to her
tears and entreaties, he confessed that
in hit country dancing girls were not
often sought out in marriage by tliosd
of his degree, nor were tiny consul
erd of much moment, and that to
take a foreign one to his mother's
home would he counted unto him a
disgrace.
Then Ko-hana san dried her tears,
and, faintly smiling, said :
“Well, you shall go, then willful
one, by vourself. Hut when?”
And he said lie would slay another
week if she wished it.
But no, ho said, .she did not wish
it. He should go on the morrow.
Only, first, he must come and say
goodby to bar. Ho should leave her
now, and he could return in the cool
of the evening, and the would bid
him farewell then.
And as he went away she watched
him with a face that grew pale and
■ad. For Ko-hnna-um had tasted a
second time of the tree of knowledge
and had found no sweetness hut on'y
bitterness therein.
Then, with a sigh, h * went away
to her dressing room and prepared to
make an elaborate toilet for the even
ing.
• e * * * *
It waa with a lightened heart that
Paul returned to the little house to
sea the last of Ko-hana nan
For he loved the ways of pleasant
neaa and peace, and now that it was
over ho knew the thought of telling
her that he must leave her had troub
led him a good deal—and for her sake,
not his own.
Already lie w# a little -weary of bis
lotus eating.
And he rejoiced that Providence
had made the heart* of Geiahas light
and their gritt* eaay of assuagement.
lie leaked into the sitting room and
•aw that, though empty of her pres
ence, it waa gay with pink convolvuli,
newly set in quaint cups and carved
bamboos.
And then, going to seek her, he
called softly down the passage, “Ko
hana-san!”
But thero was no answer.
So he stole to the door of her sleep
ing room and looked in.
§he was lying on soma cushions,
her head pillowed on on small hand
and clasped in the other a single lotus
bad.
Her eyes were closed, and she lay
■till, although he spoke her name
again.
“Little lazy one,” he said, as he
bent over her, “wake up, I 11m here!’’
He noticed that she had taken off
her sash and kimono and was lying in
her embroidered unrlerdress.
Her hair was elaborately done, and
a faint tinge of red lay, like the dust
on a butterfly’s wing on the opaque
whiteness of her cheeks, where the
thick fringe of dark lashes, stirless-
There was a lamp burning at her
head, and another at her feet, and
beside her was the samisen with
which she had so often accompanied
herself in her songs to Lira.
The room was full of flower*, the
•ir heavy with their scent, and with
s Btrange oppressive stillness.
He stooped and laid his lips on tho
hand that held the lotus, and as ho
did so he saw that it clasped also a
ribbon 'on which one word vvss writ
ten—“Sayouara."
And then he understood that for
Ko-hana-san there would be more
•asiles or tears.
He had counted en the simple,
laughter loving na.ure of the Japanese
to tide her over any passing grief or
disappointment, but some touch of
more advanced civilization hsd come
to her—who knows in what manner?
—and had imbued her with the tragic
despair, the passion and the pathos,
the supreme rejection of an inartistic
possibility, that belongs to a more cul
tivated order of exotics.
The flower he had plucked and
near his heart had fallen unheeded
while he stepped aside, and inadvert
ently he had crushed its bright beauty
with his retreating footsteps.
Some instinct of a kindred fate had
surely saddened Ko-hana-san’s tender
fancy when she wept for the lotus bud
that ■uunyJaHcrncou.
Poor little Geisha!
She had tasted for the third lime of
the tree of knowledge, and, not con
tent with having learned the lessons
of love nad of life, had mastered yet
another, mat of death.—ln Town.
