(Based »<n the drama <»f that name as

"Hardly that!" said Tokorarno, as
quietly as if he had not caught the tone
In which Limiener had snoken of Hironari.
"I never saw him until ttie afternoon of
the day the murdter was committed.’’
“And I am given to understand that :
he had reached Berlin only the day be
fore ’hat?"
"That ’is what he told us and he
seemed a clean ami truthful boy," re
plied Tokorarno.
’’But I can not believe it!” cried Lin
dener. "Why should he have done this
thing 0 If he had been in Berlin on’y
twenty-four hours he could not have
b*en the Japanese lliona teased me with.
And how did she come to be in your
house, my friend?” Lindener s lips were
dry and his eyes hard, as he fixed them
on Tokoram'bs masklike face. There was
not the slightest betraying sum in look
or tone as Tokorario replied:
“♦♦’hat must alwaxs be a mystery at
least until we lv*ar Hironari’s story tn full
detail. <»f course, he knew that no one
would l»e here hut my' servant, for .he
knew that all the test of us all the
Japanese we know in Berlin- were at the
Wallen Pension ce’eluating the Eeast of
the Little ( • ildren If he (•ontemplated
anything n»x house would naiuiallx have
suggested itself to him as a safe place:
besides, being a stranger in Berlin, he
would not know of other places.''
‘ But why should h« have 'lone it? He
-practically a strang'er to lliona! He
?ov)d not have known her more than a few
hours!"
Much as he expected of him as a mat
ter of course, .loshakawa would have been
proud of his rouiitrvman had he been
there io <-hS"ive the manner in which
he conducted himself under Lindeners
Insistent questionings, while in his own
heart there raged a black tempest that
made the Germans emotion the weak
grief of a weak man seem a pitifully
childish thing
The Explanation.
“It is not an everyday thing, my
friend," he said graveh. "but. on the
other hand, it is not an unusual crime
No one would have thought it strange
If the murderer had been this pour \<>
tonm whom you saw here in the company
of .loshakawa the day of the murder.
We tend over? >lay of crimes committed
by men who are temporarily as much
more insane—than Yotomo It is this
fact that should take some of the hitter
ness o d of your feelings against the boy.
even if it adds to the hopelessness of
your grief.
‘■Hironari is evidently insane. He is a
distant relative of .loshakawa and the old
man's Testimony may be of some help to
the police in reaching the motive of the
crime .loshakawa tells me that thoj
branch of i|> • family from which. Hironari
sprung has alwa\s e been a hot-headed,
passionate, untrustworthy strain."
Lindon, r rose with a smothered oath.
"And these are the cultured people that
Brink says wc ought t<» welcome among
us! ’ he snarled
Toknramo fixed him with a calm gaz<
"I am not ;•» be. offended by you. Herr
IJndenei." he said, quietly, "especially at
this time I know what this woman
meant ts> you. You are less than just to!
me and my people. However eaFnil.' 1 ,

‘ Herr Lindencr. wl»l you not join us?”
asked the host
Lindener rose with a heavy sigh and
came over to them.
"Bui. my friend’” protested P’-ofessor
Bruck, as if ho had just cord I i’cly re
membered the purpose of his xisit "Is
’here nothing I can do but give you my
sympathy in this terrible affair."
Tokorarno shook his head slightly.
"That is all, my friend." he said, grave
ly.
The professor shook his head violently
and mad" a clucking noise with his
?oi:gm-. wlii' h was the extent of his abil
ity to express the emotion under <!fs

tressed. Lindencr broke the little pause

"I meant to ask you about the serv

"That is very strange." said the ar

"I in p« ssi Me." ex<la med Tokorarno.!
"The wry character of the crime elim-|
inates any possibility of an accomplice.)
Johann was a rather stupid fellow and 1
think he simply tan away in panic."
Neither of the others commented on this
possible explanation, and Tokoiamo made
as if to return to his desk.
"You will pardon me," hr said apolo
getically. "But I must return to my
work
'The proh '-sor who h.'d fallen into a deep
muse, came out of it with a start.
"Certainly, my dear Tokorarno!" he ex
claimed and shook hands again. "If 1
can help you, d<» not fail to call on
me.
"Come. Ernest!’ the professor thrust
his hand under IPs coattails ami inarched ;

shake hands,
"I will ’tot annoy you any more to- 1

Lindener thanked him and withdrew,

The flay after the murder Teri did not
appear al ihe Varieties. She was seized
wiiii a violent a-iack of hysteria on leav

vous breakdown and her doctor ordered
her to the country for absolute rest and
quiet for at least a month. He forbade
ihe police io question her until she had
fully recovered, explaining so that even

they were so impressed with Hironari’*
story and it was so well substantiated by
the stories of his friends that they con
