“And this fellow?” The sergeant point
ed to Yotomo. Joshakawa shrugged his
shoulders compassionately.
“A poor, half-witted hoy, who, with
what mind he still possesses, follows the
traditions of our people and would sac
rifice himself for his friend.”
Yotomoi restrained by several of the
younger men, nodded proudly. The ser
geant looked from Yotomo to Joshakawa
and then to Hironari, and then frowned
angrily,
“I will hold every one of you!” he de
clared. "I believe you're all in this. And
you”—he fixed a glare on Joshakawa's
imperturbable countenance —“you know a
lot more than you have told.”
A rustle at the doorway caught his ear,
and he turned just in time to see Ko
bohashi disappearing with Teri. The Jap,
not making sufficient allowance for the
promptness of the police, and experienc
ing rather more difficulty with the young
lady than he had anticipated, had de
cided to take her to the house, where she
could be dealt with quietly. The sergeant
had stationed no guard at the main en
trance,. and he did not know the police
were on the premises until he opened the
door of the library.
“One moment, Madame!” called the
sergeant sharply. Kobohashi released

her, and Teri stood in the doorway.
“What do you wish?’’
The girl was as pale as her white stage
costume, which she had not taken time
to change for a street gown. She was
trembling and her eyes were wide with
terror at the sight of the police.
“My God! What has happened?” she
cried.
“Whom do you want to see?” demanded
the sergeant, coining up close to her.
She gazed wildly about the room, but did
not answer.
“Speak—quick!” cried the policeman,
harshly. Teri stared at Tokoramo and
half held out her arms toward him.
“Tokoramo!” she began piteously.
“Which one?” demanded the sergeant,
throwing a glance over his shoulder
Joshakawa glided in front of Tokoramo.
“Hironari has chocked your friend.
She is dead!” he said, brutally, “Hlona
dead!” gasped the girl in a horrified
whisper. •
“Yes,” said the sergeant, grimly.
“Oh, my God —no!’’ screamed the girl.
“Tokoramo! Tokoramo!”
She covered her face with her hands
and burst into sobs that were like
screams. •
“Come!” cried the sergeant, shaking
her arm. “Tell me what you know! Were
you acquainted with the dead girl?”
“My God!’’ moaned Teri. “I don’t
know anything! lllona, lllona! She was
my friend —my only friend! 1 loved her!
I loved her! She is dead!”
“Come, madame!” exclkimed the ser
geant. with 'something of a softening <)f

his harsha manner. “Try to calm your
self. This is no time for tears We must
know’ what you know’.”
Tokoramo started forward with a hoarse
cry. But a strong hand closed on his
lips and a dozen strong hands restrained
him. The scuffle was over before the
sergeant could turn.
“Which of these men was your friend's
friend?” insisted the sergeant. The girl
only moaned and sobbed as she leaned
heavily against the doorpost.
The Scheme Succeeds.
“Come, my girl! Answer —or you will
be made to!”
“Oh, I am sick!” sobbed Teri “Take
me away! Take me away!”
The sergeant put his arm around her
for support, and spoke with rough kind
ness.
“Don’t be afraid, my girl! Answer my
question! Which of these men loved your
friend?*’
“Tell the truth—tell the truth!” cried
Tokoramo, hoarsely. Hironari slipped out
into the foreground.
“I did it.” he said. Teri turned to him
with horror-stricken eyes. The sergeant
shook her gently.
“Speak up! Ts this the man?”
Teri looked from Hironari to Tokoramo
and slowly raised her hand, huddled fear
fully in the sergeant’s arms. In that
position he could see neither of the men.
She pointed quickly at Tokoramo and
then buried her face in the policeman’s
arms. But at that same Instant, or per
haps a fraction before, Joshakawa pusfied
; Hironari out in front of Tokoramo. The
■ serpeant turned in time to see the ac-
I ci;sing finger pointing at the boy. He re
‘ leased the girl and nodded to his men.
“That is our man. all right!” he de
clared. “Arrest him!”
Hironari followed one of the policemen
lout of the room. The sergeant lingered
for a moment, and ordered the other to
remain on guard. As he drew on his
gloves he addressed the others.
“1 will not take you with me.” he said.
“You will all remain here in the custody
of this ifficcr until we receive instruc
tions from our superiors.”
And he stamped out. The remaining
policeman took up his station in the bed
room.
“See that nothing is touched and that
i no one leaves this house until the coro
ner comes!” were the sergeant’s orders,
i And as the last glint of uniform disap
i peared from view a smile of satisfaction
went around t?e room. But one lurched
I heavily across the divan and his cry of
agony rang through the silent house:
“lllona! lllona!”
The Stoic.
Lindener was one of those children of
the world who seldom miss seeing a sun
rise. because they never think of bed until
the workers of tl>s busy hive of ours
are on the streets in the morning.
Consequently he did not hear of the
murder until late in the afternoon. He
was taking his first drink of cognac
I in a case when he learned of it, and he
spent his last mark for a cab to take him
to Tokoramo* s house. When he arrived
there he was as completely insane as a
mentally balanced man can become.
Fortunately for Tokoramo. Joshakawa
and Dr. Omayi were with him when the
muscular and frantic German burst into
the library, calling the name of his be
loved in a voice to make the walls trem
ble. ’rhe three Japs received him as
coolly and politely as they had d’one
when he called the night before. »
“Tell me it isn’t true.” he bellowed,
standing in ’he middle of the floor with
clenched fists and glaring around him like
a crazed bull. Joshakawa raised his eye
brows.
“What do you mean, Herr Lindener?”
he asked quietly.
“lllona! lllona!”
• Tokoramo. his head in his hands, bent
t over his desk and bit his lips to keep
I back a moan of anguish. Joshakawa,
' standing facing the visitor, shrugged his
! slioqlders slightly and spread out his
I palms in a gesture of gently sympathetic
i resignation. |
I '“I be woman is dead.” he said “It is
most deplorable. 1
“Dead!! 2 -echoed Lindener in a terrible
i voice. “Oh. God!” He raised his clinch
! ed lists as if to call down a malediction
I on the Japanese and all their work—-on
himself and all the world. Then his eyes
i seemed to reel in his head. He swayed
I and staggered to the table like a man
I in a deadly illness.
•ft is very terrible.” said Joshakawa.
“But —the woman was not immortal.
We. too, have a grief!
Dr. Omayi slipped noiselessly over to
the liquor stand and a moment later held
a glass of cognac up to the half-con
scious man
"Drink this, sir." he ordered with a
professional air. Mechanically, Lindener
took the glass of spirits and drained it.
Slowly he set down the glass and drew
a deep breath that was like the gasp of
a dying man. Tokoramo shuddered for
a sound that was like It still echoed ter
ribly in his ears.
The powerful brandy quickened the
mind of the ariist that had been numbed
by the shock. The dull, glazed look in
his eyes was gone when he raised them
from the door and they burned with a
wild light as he fixed them on Toko
ramo’s bowed figure.
"Tokoramo, my friend'." he said, in a
low voice that was all the more terrible
for its calm. "Tell me what has hap
pened. Where is lllona?"
Tokoramo did not heed, but before his
sfler.ee was noticeable, Joshakawa had
taken the burden of explaining upon him
se f.
"It has been a very dreadful affair,
Herr Lindener." he said gravely. "You
have the utmost sympathy of all of us
anti we throw ourselves upon your mercy,
since it was one of our countrymen that
lias brought this terrible grief upon you."
Lindener's fists were clenched hard and
his whole figure strained with the effort
lie made to listen quietly: but he did not
interrupt.
