She flirted her scarf about her neck. "But I am going of my own free will! D’you hear? Os my own free will! It is I who discard you! It is you who are not wanted! It is you who are rot ten!—with your pretense of honor and pride and strength and power, crawling grovelling at the hem of my skirt! lam going to Lindener!

And your Japan'—a nasty, little yellow blot on the face of the world!" As she fairly shrieked the final insult, the hoarse, horrible scream of crazed beast burst from his lips and he leaped. She had barely time to step back a pace and shriek with sudden terror; “No, no! Tokora—!” The strong fin gers at her throat cut off the world. She heard his teeth grit In her ear as the vlse-llke clutch sank into her throat. She tried to struggle, and could not make a move or sound. Her eyes grew dim, and closed. A blackness, shot with red light ning, was before them. The hissing of his breath changed to the roaring of the surf in her ears. Then —oblivion. With both hands at her throat he dragged her across the room into his chamber and flung her on the bed. The stared at her. panting, rubbing the throb bing tendons of his wrist. Then, crouch ing and shaking, he turned and crept soft ly back to the door. Prom the bed came one long, horrible gasp. And then silence The Spirit of the Samurai. As the fearful sound of the death rattle died- away in the silence of the night, Tokoramo clung heavily to the portieres for support—listening, listening. The first horrible panic of the murderer —the murderer alone with his dead —was upon. At any moment he expected Johann, Lindener, the police—any one—to burst into the room and denounce and drag him off to prison. But the big house re mained as still as the huddled figure on the bed behind him Gradually he re-ained mastery of him self. His breath still came in jerky gasps, and he rubbed his wrist mechani cally to ease the strained tendons, hut had it came into its kingdom after the brief explosion of passion, and his mind was clear and alert. He knew what he had to do. and w-ith slow uncertain steps I •—as noiseless as a shadows —he crept to ■ the telephone. He sank into a chair by the desk and ; held the instrument from him until he l bad controlled his labored breathing I Then he put the mouthpiece to his lips and in a low. steady voice, gave the num ber of the Wallen Pension and asked for Joshakawa. In the delay that followed he had to bite his lips and hold himself hard as he glanced fearfully at the door of the ante-room, again and again. At last he heard his friend's voice. "Joshakawa? Yes. this is Tokoramo." he said. “Are you alone?" The old man replied that several of their friends were with him. “Bring Dr. Omayi and come to me at once," he went on. “Yes—yes—very ill! Come at once'" As he put down the telephone the ante room door did not .open at last, and he barely snmthered a startled cry. “Who is that?" he demanded, not dar ing to look up “Me. sir," said Johann's voice. Toko ramo gave a gasp of relief. "To prepare your bed. sir." The ser vant Ynoved toward the bedroom door, but he had barely taken a step before his master called sharply. “No, not now! Later later, Joharn. L —l will ring- when I am read 1 ’ My friends are coming Watch below for them and admit them immediately." ‘Wes, sir." He was retiring when To koramo called him back." "Johann—see!" he held out his trem bling hand. "You startled me—just now. I work very hard. Johann, and I am very nervous. Hereafter always knock before you enter and go softly—softly, Johann!" “Yes, sir." said Johann, and departed. The door had hardly closed behind him before Tokoramo was at a window star ing out into the street although his friends had scarcely time to have left the pension. He turned back and held his watch up under the light of the electrolier, started at it. and put it back in his pock et. Then he sat in a chair for a few moments, gripping the arms hard with both hands. He was up again in an in stant and at the window and he kept this, up until he heard voices below and the footsteps of his friends on the stairs. They found him sitting hv his desk, his eyes glued on the face of the watch which lay beside him. The whole troop of them had come with Joshawaka and the doc tor. alarmed by the report of Tokoramo's illness. And in their anxiety the polite salutations were admitted. "Tokoramo. what is it?" cried Josha kawa before he was more than across the threshold. "Are you ill?" Tokoramo shook his head. He was slumped down in a, spineless heap, his eyes staring blindly at the floor. The others gathered about hitQ. "You asked for Omayi." went on Josh akawa. "1 thought you were ill—your voice sounded so weak and far away!" Tokoramo raised his head and glanced slowly about the circle. "I did not expect you all to come,” he said politely, in a somewhat dulled voice, "but it is well." The others broke into exclamatory pro tests of their eagerness to serve him The Confession. "You are the greatest, Tokoramo!" "We were glad to come!" "If we can serve you, say so!" Tokoramo rose slowly and half bowedl "I thank you all," he said, gravely. "t’ardon me one moment?" He drew Joshakawa to one side. "My friend" —he gripped the old man's SOUTHERN RAILWAY. U. C. V: Reunion, Macon.
