"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.

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. “Well!" cried the officer harshly. look Ing from one to another.

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.

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.
