The leader turned to Kobohashi.
"Is everything arranged so far?” he
asked
“Yes." replied his lieutenant. "But ;
there is this girl the friend of the dead
woman. She came to Tokoramo's house
today with this Kerner woman. Her lips
must be sealed at once. 1 do not know
how much ®he knows, but whatever it is
it is too much."
"That shall be your work, my friend."
said Joshakawa. "Remember, her lips
must be sealed."
"At any cosy” agreed Kobohashi. look
ing Into the old man's eyes with a steady
gaze. Joshakawa met It with a look as
steady.
“At any cost," he ectfbed gravely. They
loked at each other for a few moments
in silence. Then:
"You know where to find her -now at
once?" inquired Joshakawa. The other
nodded as he slipped on his gloves.
"At the Varieties."
The next moment he was gone. J< sha
kawa dismissed him and his mission from
his mind. He knew that Illona's friend
would never appear at the trial. That
was all. By what means this would be
prevented he did not care to know. He
addressed himself to Tokoramo.
"Was there any one else In the house
when this occurred?" he’asked.
Tokoramo shook his head listlessly.
"Only my servant." he said.
"Did he hear anything?"
"I don't know."
"That must be attended to at once."
declared the old man. with energy And
he stepped over and jerked the bell pull.
"Scatter about the room, my friends,”
he commanded in' a low tone. "Do not
appear to be holding a council. We are
just continuing our observance of the
Feast of the Little Children."
When Johann entered no one. much less
a dull German peasant, would have
guessed that these men were conspiring
to cheat justice of a murderer.
"Did you ring, sir?" asked Johann of
his master, wlfo barely raised his head.
Getting Rid of Johann.
"Come here, Johann," commanded Josh
akawa. ip his most fatherly manner.
The servant approached.
“Were you here all evening. Johann?”
inquired the old man.
"Yes' sir."
“No one inquired for any of us?"
"No, sir."
"Ah!" remarked Joshakawa. Then
after a pause:
“You like your master, Johann?" he
purred.
"Yes, yes." replied the servant, begin
ning to wonder what it all meant.
' You know how to serve a Japanese
gentleman?"
"Yes, sir. I can make tea —and every
thing."
"How much is your pay here?"
"Fifty marks."
“H—m! Fifty marks. Listen: one of
our friends, Herr Miyake here"—(the
young man stepped forward) "is looking
for a good servant, one who would go
to Japan with him. He will pay one hun
dred and fifty marks a month. Would you
like to go?"
"One hundred and fifty marks!" ex
claimed' the astonished Johann. This was
fabulous pa J for a servant.
"Yes," said Joshawaka kindly "He
realizes that, it would necessarily mean
something to you to leave your native
land and he is willing to pay accord
ingly. Would you like to go?"
"Why, yes. sir! Yes. sir!" exclaimed
Johann, eagerly. Then he paused embar
rassed and glanced at Tokoramo: "But.
my master--"
Tokoramo waved his.hand and managed
to say In a matter-of-fact tone: "I would
not stand in the way of your advance
ment. Johann You may go with him—
with my best wishes."
"Well," said Joshakawa as the servant
still hesitated, "do you accept?"
Johann came out of his sudden vision of
affluence long enough to say eagerly:
"Yes. sir! thank you. sir! When do I
st%rt ?"
"At once!” said Miyake, promptly. "I
must leave early in the morning."
Johann’s face fell and he scratched
his head in some perplexity.
“At once?" he repeated, doubtfully.
"Yes," said Miyake. “What is the trou
ble?"
"Oh. sir. you see, 1" -he stopped again
and blushed.
"What is the trouble. Johann?" de
manded Joshakawa. impatiently. Johann
shifted uneasily and smiled a sheepish
smile.
"Well, you see. sir. there is a chamber
maid" -he began timidly.
“Oh!" exclaimed Miyake. "You wish to
marry her?"
"Yes. sir.” replied Johann, gratefully.
"Bring her with you and you can be
married on the way or after we reach
Japan. She can serve my wife."
"Oh. may I!" fried Johann, radiantly.
"Thank you! Thank you. sir!"
Miyake hastily brushed aside his thanks
and put on his hat.
"Now come!" he commanded. "We
have very little time, and you must help
me pack my things. You can return
later to say good-bye to your master.
With a last semi-apologetic glance at
Tokoramo Johann followed his new ■mas
ter out of the room. Within five minutes
they were clear of the house. It was
many months before Johann saw it again.
Joshakawa was turning his attention
to other matters when Tokoramo sudden
ly sprang up with a cry of agony.
"My friends! My friends'.” he cried,
pressing his hands to his face. "I can
not go I can dot! I will break down!
If th- y question me I will tell them! I
can not! I can not!
Joshawaka gripped his arm and shook
it with savage strength.
A Verbal Whip.
"Where is your manhood?" he demand
ed sternly. "What of your vflw to your
people ? Shame'
As if the words had been a whip. Poko

lines of anguish Vanished as if by magic
and the light of pain in his eyes died out.

Y’amoshi, who was giving his final in

Yotomo nodded.

a fierce red mustache si rode into the
room, followed by two of his men. He
blinked impressively as he glanced around
the circle of impassive, inscrutable yellow
faces. His two men took up stations on
either side of the door and stood like
statues. For a few moments no one
spoke. The policeman evidently expected
for the host or someone to greet him and
make the explanations and the Japanese
waited tn stolid patience for the police
man to ask questions Their instruc
tions were to keep silent until addressed
individually, and then lie like Japanese.

bedroom. The sergeant turned on his
heel like a soldier and disappeared
through the portieres. There was a dead
silence of several seconds until he reap
peared and his glance again traveled
around the circle of sphinxes.
"Who did it?" he demanded brusquely.
The words touched a trigger in Yotomo's
mind and his tongue exploded.
The Imbecile's Mistake.
"I did It! I did it!” he cried loudly.

Prisoner's wife (relenting;) “Yes, he did strike me, but
it was partly my fault. I was washing all day and
was bad-tempered, and didn’t have his dinner ready.”
Anty Drudge— “Please your Honor. If you’ll just sen
tence the prisoner to buy his wife Fels-Naptha soap
it will end their wash-day fighting. She won’t have
half as much work then, and there’ll be plenty of time
to get dinner. She won’t be tired and cross, either. ”
Do you spend 52 days of the year
washing clothes? Fifty-two days bending
over a tub of nauseous, steaming suds and
52 days of hard-rubbing on a washboard?
Then stop it. Nature didn’t intend any
woman’to work like a slave. Fels-Naptha
will cut down the time spent in washing
at least half. It will cut out the boiling,
the steaming suds, the hard-rubbing.
Fels-Naptha will separate the dirt from
your clothes while soaking in cold or
lukewarm water so that a light rubbing
and a simple rinsing will leave them clean
and pure —ready for the line.
Look for the red and green wrapper.

There was a chorus of guttural protest,
and Joshakawa dragged the Imbecile back
as one of the policemen stepped out In
obedience to a gesture from his officer.
He bumped Into Hironari.
"I did it. I killed her." said the boy,
quietly. The sergeant, who was advanc
ing toward Yotomo, wheeled on him with
a look of blank amazement.
"Y’ou did it?" he cried, and stared from
one to the other. Then his face flushed
with anger.
"Who is the murderer?" he demanded,
glaring at Joshakawa.
"That man." replied Joshakawa, nod
ding at Hironari.
"What,do you know about it?” snapped
the sergeant, his harsh, angry tones in
sharp contrast to the soft, quiet Voices of
the Japanese. "Tell me everything!”
“All I know -all any of us know." re
plied Joshakawa calmly, “is that we
were together at the Wallen Pension, cel
ebrating one of our Japanese feast days,
when this young man" he indicated
Hironari —“telephoned that we must come
to him at once. He said he was in great
trouble. We are all his friends, and we
hastened over here. When we learned

to give himself up He agreed, and Dr.
