Aa the doctor vanished through the por
tieres. Tokoramo turned to the others
They gathered close around him and he
threw his arms across the shoulders of
the tw«* nearest.
“My friends,” he said, slowly and
gravely. ‘‘l have just committed a great
crime! '
No one made a sound or moved a finger
“I lost—my self-control*”
A rustle and murmur ran through the
room, hut before any one could make
anv comment or ask any question*. Dr
Omayi returned, rolling down his sleeves
Mutely the circle questioned.
“Dead”' exclaimed the physician, In a
low voice.
“Dead”’ Tokoramo”’ cried Kabahashi.
Eve»-y eye was turned on the young map.
*’l strangled her,” he said, simply.
A muttered chorus <*f exclamations
broke out and each man avoided his
neighbor s eyes and especially Tok ora*
mo's But Joshakawa raised his hand
for silence
“Quiet, my friends”' he said, calmly.
•‘lt Is not the worst thing that could
’have happened. The creature had to die

Tokoramo'* was twisted by a
•pasrc of grief and anguish
'“Joshakawa' he cried
Silence, my friend”' com
manded the old man, gently. Be culm

the others to tale .cat.-..

“M e must dispose of th* s body first,”
ventured one of the younger men. Joshaka

Tokoramo raised hn head
“Impos ible!” he ex« (aimed. They in

Wait' No suicide!' r<unmanded
Joshakawa. sternly “For you that were
well enough. Tokoramo. but you must
finish your w<»rk for Japan, and we must
help you we must find away so that you
can go on undisturbed.'
“Yes!” chimed in Kobahashl. decidedly;
“at all coats. Tokoramo must be allowed
to finish his work No other plan ne» d
be considered ”
Again there was a silence, and at la -U
Joshakawa s lit up; he struck his
thigh with his open hand and rose with
an air of triumph
“I have it' The safest, surest way!'
he cried. “Why didn't I think of it at
once!’ One among us- hr would serve his
country best must take the murder upon
himself!”
The Only Way.
Toknramn’s passionate protect was lost
In a general outburst of enthusiasm
Joshakawa motioned him »o be silent.
•‘lt is the only way,” he declared
“The only way!' echoed Kobahashl

"Who—” began the former, and In

There was a unanimous protest and

ft Is obvious
Kobahashl seemed impressed by this
argument, as did Joshakawa, but neither
apparently had any idea of accepting the
services of Yamoshi in that way. The
others, as before, voiced a determined
protest
‘Cahniy. my children, calmly!” begged
the old man. ‘There is much truth in
, what Yamoshi says. I can not. unfor

<rr ,- e. Let us proceed slowly, and in a
calm and orderly manner First. I appoint t
Yamoshi counsellor. This is surely a
place where we will need his knowledge*

Yamoehi’s face fell and he drew' away, |
but the other younger men crowded more i
closely In about the chief and each tried j
at the same time to advance arguments,
as to wh\ h«- himself should be especially
chosen.
Suddenly Hironari burst through and
his high boyish voice rose eagerly above
the others
‘T’ncle! uncle!” he cried Joshakawa
turned to him ' What is it?”
“All of you have missions!” exclaimed ,
the boy, his eyes shining with excitement. ■
“I alone am here without any work to do.
I have no mission—no career! Here—l
am ashamed among you all. Give me ,
this mission! Let me serve my country '
now—l will never have a more glorious '
chance. It wdl be an honor to take To

Tokoramo broke out in an anguished
protest.
' No' No! This boy!
“Lives for but one purpose!” inter
rupter! Hironari. proudly. Tn help you
to serve Nippon”
Instantly the h*»ads were bowed and
the deep chant of Nippon! Nippon!”
ran through the room
"My friends, this boy is right!” declared
Joshakawa, laying hie hand cn the youth’s
shoulder, ”1 appoint Hironari! Heaven

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
P/ BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
SHOULDN'T HE TAKE THE FIRST
STEP?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am In love with a man one year
my senior. A short time ago I had a
I quarrel with him. 1; was a misunder
-1 standing on his part. How ian I make
I friends with him again '
WORRIED.
1 judge from your letter that the man
was In the wrong When that is the
case a girl always cheapens herself by
begging him to make up. He is to
blame He should be the first to admit
his fault
If you go to him now and b“g par
don. you will fiml yourself going again
and often He will begin to exact con
trition from you for all of his wrong
doing.
My dear, it may hurt to give him up.
It may hurt worse to become friends
(gain on a basis so unfair to c ourself.
Let him see you don't care That will
bring him to a sense of his loss quicker
than any other course.
MOST DECIDEDLY NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax
Some time ago I received a letter
from a man whom I have never seen or
heard of. living in another city
He writes that he wishes to meet
me personally, and will call when
ever I suggest. He says he can give
no reason for attempting to write ex
cept to refer to some prehistoric facts,
and feels he has committed no crime,
in writing, as nothing ventured, noth
ing gained Shall 1 see him?
ANXIOUS X V Z.
Burn the letter and forget that you
ever received it If he is sincere in his
desire to know you. he will find a more
honorable method of meeting you. A
man who writes such letters to a girl.

A SERIOUS RIVAL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen, and in love with a girl
one year my junior. We met over a
year ago and became close friends.
About six months ago she met another
fellow, whom she seemed to like very
much, and as he had an automobile he
used to visit her regularly, often tak
ing her to dances where sometimes I
met her. and though she treated me
ver.' nicely, there is something about
her manner that puzzles me. How can
I find out the reason for this and if
she still cares for me? E. O.
If a rival has an automobile, that
makes him very formidable, especially
if the girl cares for you in only a half
hearted way. The only way to learn
the real state of her feelings is to go
to her and ask her. There is nothing
that equals a definite understanding in
a situation like yours.
Our Diamonds Are Guaranteed
*
As Represented
It is difficult to tell the difference between a good dia
mond and a pretty good diamond. To make the distinction
calls for knowlege and experience. If you have this knowl
edge and experience, you • an buy diamonds anywhere—other
wise. it is far safer to purchase from a jeweler with a repu
tation and a comprehensive diamond stock.
The many years we have been in the diamond busirfess we
believe is sufficient proof of the honest and fair, square meth
ods we have employed. If you live out of town and would like
to know us better, inquire of anv bank in Atlanta. Eor the
convenience of those who do not wish to pay all cash we make
very liberal terms, such as will cause the least inconvenience
in paying for them.
Write or call for the plan in detail.

Paris has accepted the pannier, and
it i,s being tried over here with some
success, but I should not advise it for
people with limited incomes, for ft is
certain that before autumn the present
pannier will undergo all kinds of trans
formations. Undoubtedly we shall have
frocks of two materials, with the petti
coat of one kind of goods and overdress
and train of another.
In the meantime more conservative
people are building their frocks mot
on the old lines, with a hieh waist and a
tunic or apron of lace or the material
of which the waist is made, and whi< h
is often of a contrasting shade to the
skirt.
On» of the photographs illustrated
here show s a w aist of blur satin tucKe.i
across, with a yoke of ecru ihiffon and
a drapery of the inevitable lace over
the sleeves.
The beautiful evening frock illustrat
ed is a creation -by Burenet. the sell
known French dressmake . who is .’
woman of fashion, as so mtn, of the'.’
are. This frock is of the cheeriest an 1
lightest brocade in two «'•?.'<« o' -
low Broodes sound as if-they w ,
heavy materials, but now adays they a <
anything but that.
The sleeves and bodice of this frock
are of th*' palest pink chiffon, with a
huge sort of sunburst, th- rays ema
nating from the frorit of the wa st. an ’
fashioned of tiny crystals. From "b.
back of tit- :ght shou.iler th', •f> •. ■s ..
drapery of violet chiffon, only about
half ? yy : n •• i le. which goes to th-' ’ ft
side of the gown and falls to the hem.
The color is not exactly violet; st .*
more a smoke with violet shades, and.
like the brocade, is one of tho.-e mate
rials especially dyed for this house.
Almost eve v dress must have its lit
tle coat this summer, and one of these
little jackets of silk taffeta or silk cov
ered with voile is one of the most serv
iceable investments a woman can make.
Another good bargain is a lace tunic,
which ’s sold every where and brings
last year's fashions up to this year’s
requirement.
Am- ng the novelties there is the um
brella that hangs from the shoulder by
a silken cord, and the weird and won
derful theater caps made entirely >f
jewels and embroidery, which com
pletely cover the hair The pendants
of imitation jewels or pearls cover the
ears and reach almost to the shoulde,.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE, *
IT is quite the fashion to abuse the
men, a fashion that has lasted
longer than hobble skirts, and that
will prevail long after the new pannier
overskirts are forgotten.
Women meet at afternoon teas and
abuse the men who are downtown earn
ing the living. Later- in the evening
they gather in halls and abuse the men,
leaving the babies at Home with the
men while they do it.
A favorite failing for abuse is the
charge made against the men that they

der John Appleton makes tins particu
masculine weakness her hobby, giv
ing the impres-ion that Lysander John
is at that ve y moment ft ivollng up and
down the Great White Way.

She found him at the corner, gazing

She pulled at his arm. "Come home,”
she said: 'mother is worried about you.
And why are you standing here looking
like that, anyhow?”
He was speechless. His only reply

plainly too frightened to have control

"Wh-what is it?” he managed to
stammer as they reached the door,
darting a last fearful look at the sky.
What It Was.
“What is what?” she said with the
eternal daughterly impatience.
He pointed at it.
"Why, that." she said w:ith surprise
and indignation at his ignorance, "is
the MOON!”
Note by the historian of the Appleton
family, and who wishes to represent
•Lysander John to future generations
as he really is. The unfortunate man
had not been out at night since he
courted his wife, and, therefore, hadn't
seen the moon in 30 years. Little won
der that he forgot its existence. There
is also little doubt that many of his
masculine contemporaries, who are
leading the lives of the average well
behaved married man. are just as igno
rant. There may also be a few women
w ho have their arms full of babies who
see little of the moon, but they get
more opportunities than their hus-,
bands. A woman usually looks out the
window to see what kind of night it is
when she gets up to give cough medi
cine to the baby. This opportunity
does not come within the range of
man s opportunities.
When Ben Scored
Long after the victories of Washing
ton over the French and the English
had made his name familiar to all Eu
rope. Benjamin Franklin was a guest
at a dinner given in honor of the
French and English ambassadors. The
ambassador from England arose and
dranje a toast to his native land; “To
England—the sun whose bright beams
enlighten and fructify the remotest
corners of the earth."
The French ambassador, filled with
his own national pride, but too polite
to dispute the previous toast, offered
the following: "To France —the moon
whose mild, steady, .and cheering rays
are the delight of all nations, consol
ing them in dankness and making their
dreariness beautiful."
Then rose "Old Ben Franklin.” and
said in his slow but dignified way: "To
George Washington—the Joshua who
commanded the sun and the moon to
stand still, and they obeyed him."
