The Doctor’s Warning.
Tokoramo looked up at him with a
smile that said many things. The doctor
looked grave.
“You must sleep.” he repeated. “If
you do not sleep naturally I will give you
something to help you. Your work must
not be jeopardized. For Nippon!" he ex
claimed and bowed his head.
“For Nippon!" echoed Joshakawa from
the doorway.
"For Nippon!" exclaimed Tokoramo
fervently And he dipped his brush in
the ink.
Late in the afternoon two days later
Tokoramo was at his work. He hkd been
there since early morning, without food
and without a break. The shadows were
creeping out of the corners of the room
when hs switched on the little desk-light,
stretched himself and groaned and was
about tc go on when the door of the li
brary ojened and Llndener entered.
Tokoramo had not as yet found another
servant to take Johann’s place. In fact,
he hardy noticed that the servant was
gone. He ate little or nothing'and made
his owi tea like a man in a dream. He
rose wth his old courtesy to greet the
visitor and indeed there was nothing
about ..inden er now to excite any feeling
but compassion. His eyes were big and
feveriii. There were baggy pouches be
neath and the lids were red with weep
ing His whole florid skin was a mot
tle gay His whole figure seemed to
have shrunken away inside of his clothes
and le walked with the careful steps of
an iwalid or an old man.
“I am honored," said Tokoramo, hold
ing <ut his hand, Lindener laid his own
Umpfingers In the brown palm for a
moment and turned his great, burning
eyeson the inscrutable fade.
'"bu will excuse this intrusion.” he
agkd. He was cold sober for the first
tlm in years "I have come to apolo

he.td very badly when I came here the
otter day."
Oo not mention it, my friend.” begged
Tooramo earnestly.
That is like you, friend Tokoramo,"
sal the artist gratefully. "I begin to
bdeve that you can give all the nations
e;Europe lessons in courtesy.”
‘We can make every' allowance for a
jfef such as yours, Herr Lindener." said
te Japanese, gravely and compassion
tely. And with a perfect air of hospl
ality he led the visitor to a seat on the
livan
Back to the Cognac.
"Permit me to offer you a of
cognac. It is a pleasure—it will be a
pleasure to me to see that you can still
drink." And without waiting for a word
of acceptance he turned to the liquor
stand and came back with a brimming
glass.
The faintest passing gleam of subdued
pleasure flickered for an instant in Lln
dener’s eyes. He took the place wtth a
hand that shook pitifully.
"Thank you, my friend, thank you,” he
said "I have not tasted cognac for two
days, and I think I need it. It Is a cer
tainty a most incomparable cognac,” he
added, with a pathetic attempt at his old
enthusiasm. "Will you not join me?”
Tokoramo shook his head. "I rarely
take stimulants of any sort," he said
“But do not let that spoil your pleasure,
I beg. You will remember that 1 have not
the same need that you have.”
Lindener’s lips trembled and he winced
visibly, hastily tossing off the drink to
hide his emation. He sighed gustily as

' Elizabeth' writes: "Kindly publish
again the prescription for stomach disor
ders and constipation f have misplaced
the letter giving the ingredients."
Answer: Go to your druggist and ask
for tablets triopeptine and take accord
ing to directions, and you will soon be
entirely cured of all stomach trouble and
constipation. This is the best treatment
known for all kinds of stomach trouble.
"Anna" says: "1 am nervous, hysteri
cal and very thin, due to overwork. What
can I take to regain my original vitality?'’
Answer: You will gradually regain your
original strength by using syrup of hypo
phosphites comp. 5 ounces; tincture cado
mene comp. 1 ounce. Mix and take a tea
spoonful before meals. This is the best
system tonic that I know of.
“Mr Jack” writes: "I am greatly em
barrassed on account of my weight. In
the last two years 1 have gained flesh so
rapidly that 1 am getting very uncom
fortable Please tell me what to do.”
Answer: Do not get the ordinary pills
and tablets for obesity, but use this safe,
harmless and quick acting medicine: Get
them separately, so as to avoid any sub
stitutes: Aromatic elixir. 5 ounces, and
glycol arbolene. I ounce. Mix by shak
ing well and take a teaspoonful after
each meal for the first three days and
after that take two teaspoonfuls as long
as vnur case may require. After the first
week or two you should lose a pound a
day.

'Kdna T." writes: “I wish you would
recommend a remedy for kidney and liver

my friend. This one Is warming me so
that I would be ashamed to give it a
'rival so soon."
Tokoramo sighed as he resumed his seat
at the dapk.
“I believe that those who need stimu
lant find good brandy best.” he said ab
sent-mindedly.
"And don’t you need stimulant?” de
manded Lindener with more energy than
he had seemed capable of when he en
tered. "You —here! In this house where
lllona was killed —killed by your friend!”
Lindener’s haggard face was distorted
by a fresh spasm of grief at the mention
of the woman's name. Tokoramo winced
ever so slightly and held up hls hanfl
“Don’t, my friend!” he begged. "We
both need sympathy—but you can under
stand what a horror the subject is to me.
As for stimulant—the best and greatest
in the world might die in the same hour
and the work of the world would con
tinue without a pause or ripple. And I
have my work!" And he picked up writ
ing brush and bowed his head over the
manuscript
"Your work!” echoed Lindener, between
wonder and disgust. “Can you do any
real work, my friend, so soon after a
murder has been committed in your house
by one of your friends—and he in prison?”
Tokoramo raised his head.
"A man, my friend,” he said quietly,
"goes through with his appointed task
even if the wreckage of his very life is
falling about his ears as be works.”
Lindener sighed heavily.
"It may be so, Tokoramo," he said, "but
there are d——d few men in the world—
if that is true."
“You are wrong. Herr Lindener." said
the Japanese, quietly. "You do not be
lieve. because you told me once that your
God, your country, your people meant
nothing to you. This spirit in man is the
only proof of his divinity—that he is kin
to the Power that projected the universe
His brain may be fire, his hand ice, his
sinews straw, but there is something in
him stronger than physical weaknesses
that forces this poor tool—the body—to
work on when it is worn out—demol
ished.”
Lindener sighed wearily, rose and made
for the liquor stand
The Difference.
“It may be the divine spirit in you. my
friend." he said, "but in me it is—cog
nac."
Tokoramo with an apology bent over
his work and the steady fingers ran back
and forth across the page in silence while
minute after minute slippedeaway. Lin
dener poured himself a drink and took
it slowly In little sips. He came over to
the desk, helped himself to a cigarette, lit
it and stood looking down at the Japan
ese for several moments,
"My staying here does not anoy you?"
he asked.
Tokoramo shook his head and glanced
up.
"It is always a pleasure to see you,
my friend, if you will do me the honor
to make yourself free of my poor house
and pardon my discourtesy in forcing a
guest to entertain himself.”
"Entertain!” echoed Lindener. with a
ghastly smile, as he turned away. “This
house is now the shrine of a divinity,
and 1 am making a pilgrimage—that’s
all.”
He filled his glass again and returned
with it to the divan, where he sat and

smoked and sipped in a bitter silence
for a long time. There was no sound in
the room but the faint rustling of the
silk sleeve of Tokoramo's kimono as it
passed back and forth, ceaselessly, tire
lessly. on the desk. Lindener studied
the worn, yellow face in the glow of the
desk light for a long time and then he
broke the silence
"My friend,” he said, "in spite of your
stoical attitude, your face tells how this
