A Story of Japanese Plotters,
Love, Mystery and Tragedy.
(Sased on the drama u.' that name as
played by Walker Whiteside.)

"You are making this very hard for
me, Illona." he said, as calmly as before,
but the passionate note in his voice grew
as he went on. "I don’t wish to part
!n bitterness. You know you have
wronged me—deceived me—that every
day, as you were deceiving me you were
growing more and more into my life—lnto
my needs! When I have turned from my
work I have turned to you! And yet you
knew that you were deceiving me!—that
Undener had asked you honorably to be
his wife. and. whatever you may think of
me, or the world thinks of me and my
people, Illona, our honor in affairs of this
kind is above reproach! And it is In my
honor—and in my trust—that you have
wronged me!”
"It is not true! It is not true!” sobbed
the woman.
"It is true—every word!” he said, stern
ly. "Tonight, resting there on the divan,
you became part of my alms and my am
bitions as I worked!”
"Did I not lie still?" she pleaded. "Did
J interfere? Did I interrupt you?”
“No. but you robbed me of my
thoughts.” he cried. "They flew from my
work to you! I was weak enough to let
you remain, to let you become part of
my work—my work!—which belongs not
to me. but to my countrymen! The work
that they watch and wait for! And they
would never forgive—never understand—ls
they knew that I let you come between
me and them! That Is where you have
wronged me, Illona!”
The sobs ceased and the woman's face
suddenly lit up with angry scorn.
"So! Ha! It is that!” she cried. “I
knew it! It is not Lindener!—it is not
my deception! It is your people! They
are voice broke again—
"afraid that you will give one little hour
of ydur life to me! To happiness—pleas
ure—peace! And it is me that you are
sacrificing for them!—giving up all the joy
of your life and mine—and for nothing'
Why should you sacrifice both our lives
for this? It is madness—folly!” She
gripped his arms with both hands and
looked passionately into his inscrutable
face. “You shall not cast me out of
your life for nothing!”
She could feel him start under her
hands before he drew’ sharply away.
"Nothing! Nothing!” he cried. "What
I was chosen for—what I was born
for!”
She followed him, holding up her clasp
ed hands
"But I will not be in your way!” she
pleaded with a sob. "Let me stay here by
your side —be your servant, your slave!
Let me share your sorrows, joys and am
bitions —anything you wish—but let me
stay! And when you triumph I will he at
your feet and you can walk over me, if
you wish! Let me help you—that Is all I
want—to help you!” She took his hand
In both here, sank to her knees beside
him. while her tears fell on the strong,
brown fingers in a stream "Oh, my love
—my love! Let me stay!”
The Woman's Triumph.
“Go, Illona!” he cried harshly and jerk
ed hia hand from her grasp. He stood
rigid for a momen; then, pressing his
clenched fists to his temples, he sank
into a chair and sat with bowed head.
There was-an eerie silence, broken only
by the rustling of the woman's skirts as
she slowly rose to her feet and stood look
ing down at him in hopeless misery.
When she spoke it was in a new voice—a
voice of final, heart-broken resignation.
, "So this Is the end. Tokoramo! The end
for me—but It will not be the end for you!
You can make me leave your house and
see that 1 never return —but I will be
here In the spirit of your life as easily as
you can turn me out of your house! 1 have
been too much to you for that! You will
find that I am a part of this room—of your
work! When you are sitting there at your
desk —alone, hour after hour—my face
will come between you and your work.
You will remember —and want me. And
now. good-bye!”
“Good-bye, Illona!” he said, in a low
voice without raising his head With
a last look at his bowed figure she turned,
picked up her hat and wrap and dragged
herself wearily to the door. She tried in
vain to stifle a sob and at the sound of it
he looked up. His hand was on the knob.

THE TYPHOON
She turned it—the door opened. She took
one step farther—the next she would be
gone forever.
"Illona! ’
She stopped, stiffened, gasped and her
eyes closed. The band that held the knob
slowly relaxed and she turned fearfully
back to the room.
Tokoramo had risen, but he was not
looking at her. His gaze was directed
out of the window and his face worked
with the tumult of his soul. Still with
averted, eyes he advanced toward her
with the jerky, uncertain steps of an au
tomaton —as if impelled by a force against
which his will and reason vainly strove.
She waited, her lips parted, her bosom
heaving, a fearful joy in her eyes. Near
er and nearer he came until she could feel
the closeness of his tense body. Then
with a choking cry he threw his arms
about her and crushed her to his breast.
"Illona! Illona! Illona!” he cried, bro
kenly. as he hurt the woman with the
violence of his caresses. “I can't let you
go! I can't let you go! I can't! I can’t!”
Then, as suddenly, he released her and
threw his clenched fists above his head.
"God of my people!” he cried, in a fren
zy of love and despair. "I'm ruined!"
The woman moistened her dry lips and
leaned against the table facing him. Her
eyes gleamed with a cruel joy. Like Lin
dener, she lived only for sensations, but,
more than like him. shs was an emotional
glutton. She drained the rarest sensa
tions as a drunkard might toss off rare
wine with no thought for Its value to
the epicure, no palate for its delica'te fla
vor. And this was a rare cup. For if she
was a drunkard, Tokoramo was a total
abstainer—and she had him at her feet.
Great as had been her despair, she had
found a bitter but real Joy in the sen
sation of loving a man that she could
not conquer. She had drained that sen
sation to the dregs and here was a new
drink—mastery of a man who had all
but conquered. She moistened her lips
again at the thought of what was to
come.
Tokoramo was literally at her feet
His arms clasped her knees and he was
shaken with dry sobs.
"So!” she exclaimed, in a low bitter
voice. "You have a heart!”
There was a muffled, anguished af
firmative from the kneeling figure.
"So! Y’ou suffer!”
“Yes! Yes! I love you, Illona! I love
you!”
"You love me!” she repeated slowly,
looking down at him with a curl of the
lip. “And yet you would have thrown
me out—kicked me out like a dog!"
"Illona!” he pleaded brokenly. “But I
would have called you back!”
He raised his haggard face and slowly
regained his feet. Fpr him at that mo
ment nothing i” .ttered but that he loved
and had the v .nan he loved.
“So you would have called me back,
eh?” she exclaimed and burst into a low
laugh, the meaning of which escaped him.
He had not the barest suspicion of what
was passing in her mind as, with a final
gesture of surrender he turned back to
his desk, switched off the light and mo
tioned toward the portiere hung door.
She watched him with a cruel little smile,
but did not move
“You will stay. Illona?” he said,
gently.
“I must think—if I want to stay," she
returned, coolly. The next Instant he
was beside her.
A Word Too Much
“Illona! Illona!” he cried, cut to the
heart.
“Oh, don’t whine!” she exclaimed, with
another contemptuous laugh. "Nothing
is lost —yet! Perhaps I will take pity on
you! Perhaps I will be a little kind!
Possibly I may forgive you! Perhaps I
may even remain—if you ask me nicely!"
"Illona!” he exclaimed. In a low,
strained voice that told of a passion that
must have frightened another woman.
"Do not Jest!”
She eyed him scornfully and laughed
again. The laugh startled him and she
saw terror in his eyes!
"Illona! tell me! tell me that you love
me' You love me?”
"Love you?” she cried, with a decisive
laugh
"Don’t laugh, Illona!” He was bending
farther and farther toward her and his
eyes burned with a dark fire.
‘ Why should I love?” she asked, mock
ingly.
"You love me, Illona?”
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: THURSDAY. MAY 9, 1912.
“Ha! ha! Do you think I am a woman
that can be kicked about and upon and
down by a man like you?” she demand
ed, scornfully. “Now, 1 will do the cast
ing off! 1 will give or hold, as I please!
I will name the moment for the end!”
He stretched out his hands appealingly
and she could hear his labored breath
ing.
"Illona! Illona!”
"Don't touch me" she snapped, drawing
away from him. His arms dropped and
he gasped. "Don't touch me!" she cried,
her voice rising shrilly. The woman was
drunk with triumph. “Now I see you
as you are- and you had all but con
quered me!" She gave a shiver of dis
gust that struck him like a blow with
a cane and she laughed again. “1 despise
you! 1 hate you! I thought you were a
man! 1 could have gone out of that door
believing in you—believing you to be a
man -never thinking of any but you for
the rest of my life! The man 1 could
love—the man who hail conquered me!
But you didn't! You didn't! You are

Speaker” writes: ■ 1 am troubled with
a tickling sensation after speaking, which
is accompanied with a slight cough and
hoarseness. Can I get relief?"
Answer: You will not only be relieved
but you will be cured by using the follotv
ing: Ask your druggist for a 254 oz. bot
tle of essence mentho-laxene. This can
be taken pure or can be made into a full
pint of cough syrup. Full directions are
given on the bottle for making. This is
very easily made at home and is perfectly
safe as it does not contain any harmful
ingredients as do most of the so-called
cough cures.

“Ida" writes: ”1 have suffered with
stomach trouble and constipation for
about two years, and I fear it will cause
appendicitis If I can not get some relief.”
Answer: I recommend that you get tab

after breakfast, a white tablet after din
ner and a blue tablet after supper. This
Is a very excellent treatment and is wide

eral weeks and I am sure you will be
cured.

Doctor: Several years ago I took a
tonic v hlch you prescribed for me. but it
has been so long that I have forgotten
the ingredients. It was the best nerve

you kindly publish the ingredients again?"
Answer: The tonic I always prescribe
tor people in your condition Is: Syrup of
hypophosphites comp.. 5 ozs,: tincture
cadomene comp.. 1 oz. Shake well and
take a teaspoonfu! before meals. This is
the best nerve and system tonic that I
know of.

Answer: Y'our excessive weight need
not cause you any unhappiness because
you can be quickly relieved A reduction
of a pound a day is not unusual after tak
