A Story of Japanese Plotters, Love, Mystery and Tragedy. (Sased on the drama u.' that name as played by Walker Whiteside.) By J. W. M CONAUGHY. Copyright, 1912. by the New York Even ing Journal Publishing Company. "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.

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 like the rest!
