"How long did yo usay it would take
you to finish, Tokoramo?” she asked
after a while. She had been revolving a
plan in her mind.
"About two weeks. • It must be finished
by the first! of the month.”
A Promise.
"Couldn’t you work just as well in the
country?”
"1 could not take the time to move, my
child,” he replied. She appeared to re
flect.
"Will you promise me to go away and
rest when you are finished?" she asked.
"Yes." he answered in a curious voice.
"I don't mean just for a few days," she
insisted. “I mean a good long rest.”
His dark eyes were turned up to her
face for a fleeting instant. Then he an
swered very softly and slowly.
“I shall go away as soon as I am fin
ished, Teri, and I hope I shall rest. At
any rate. I shall go away for a long time.”
"To Japan?"
"No." he winched. "Not to Japan."
"No?" she repeated, wonderingly.
"Where, then?”
"I do not know, Teri." he replied,
gravely.
"I see! You think a complete change
will do you good?"
“Yes; a complete change is what I
want." And he closed his eyes again.
The girl studied his face compassionately.
"I think you are tired enough to sleep
—now,” she said. "Aren't you?”
"I suppose so,” he sighed, without open
ing his eyes.
"Will you go to bed if I leave?"
"1 suppose so," he repeated.
She leaned over and kissed him lightly
on the forehead and a few minutes later
slid softly from the room.
For several minutes after she had de
parted. Tokoramo sat in the arm chair
as still as a dead man. His arms hung
limply over the sides and the hands al
most touched the floor. He seemed to
have no backbone. His head hung back
and over his left shoulder, just as it had
dropped when the exhausted muscles re
laxed. He dozed: and was fast sinking
into the deep sleep of utter exhaustion
when he sat up with a start. He stared
about the room as if he had forgotten
something and could nut reacall what it
was Then his eyes fell on the desk. He
groaned, slowly worked himself to his
feet. and. supporting himself by the fur
niture on the way, moved across to his
seat at his work. But instead of tak
ing up his brush, he folded his arms on
the manuscript and rested his hot fore
head upon therp until he was roused by
a sound of footsteps on the stairs. He
looked up in time to greet Joshakawa.
After the formal salutations. Joshakawa
took a seat on the edge of the divan and
gravely studied the face of the young
man.
'How is the work progressing?" he
asked.
"As well as could be expected." replied
Tokoramo, in a dull voice. Joshakawa
fi ow ned.
"It will be finished in time, my son?"
Tokoramo nodded feebly.
"It will be finished by the first of the
month." he replied.
"And you? How do you feel? You look
very tired, my friend."
"1 suppose 1 am tired, my father," re
plied Tokoramo. with his hand across his
brows—a gesture that had become more
and more frequent with him In the past
few weeks. “Still, 1 am cheered and
strengthened by the thought of the end
so near at hand."
“That is right. Tokoramo!" exclaimed
Joshakawa, heartily. "The thought, of
vou should be enough to sustain any son
of Nippon. Few of us are blessed with
vour ability and your opportunity."
Tokoramo made no comment. He sat
with his head in his hands and finally
Joshakawa spoke aagin.
"1 would tell you to guard your health
f I could conscientiously do so." he said,
gently. Tam not Dr. Omayi, but I can
see that the strain of this tremendous
effort is breaking you down Ye, my son.
even at that cost it is necessary that this
effort continue. The lives of all of us
are pledged to our country whether we
fall by the bayonet or the bullet, whethei
we go down on sinking ships under the
fire of the enemy or kill ourselves with
work—it is all one and all for Nip
pon!"
For Nippon!" echoed Tokoramo sol
emnly.
Again there was a Huie silence and
Joshakawa asked with some solicita
tion:
Only Tired —Tired.
"Do you feel ill. my son—other than the
weariness?"
"No." replied Tokoramo. shaking his
head slightly. "It is only that 1 am tired
tired-tired!”
"I am very glad." said the old man
“Still, 1 think Dr. Omayi had better come
every day now until the work is finished.
It would be terrible to have you break
down completely at the last moment!”
Tokoramo made an inarticulate sound
that was meant to he reassuring, but
Joshakawa* rose and paced up and down
the apartment, his brows contracted with
worry
"I reproach myself, sometimes,” he said
gravely, "for interfering in the matter of
the women at the time that 1 did. It
would have been better, perhaps, for
your work had you lived In error until it
was completed The harm was done,
in any case, hut 1 could not forsee the
terrible result of opening your eyes. And
knowing your cleanness of heart, I could
not bear to let you go on thinking as you
did about the woman."
Tokoramo held out a hand as if to re
strain him.
"You are unjust to yourself, my fa
ther." he said gently. "You did only what
you should have done. Do not think that
Escapes An Awful Fate.
A thousand tongues could not ex
press the gratitude of Mrs. J. E. Cox, of
Joliet Hl., for her wonderful deliver
ance from an awful fate. “Typnoid
pneumonia had left me with a dreadful
cough,” she writes. “Sometimes 1 had
such awful coughing spells I thought I
would die. 1 could get no help from
doctor’s treatment or other medicines
(ill I used Dr. King's New Discovery.
But I owe my life to this wonderful
remedy, for i scarcely cough at all

cines Every bottle guaranteed. 50c

There never was a time when people
appreciated the real merits of Cham

now. This is shown by the increase
in sales and voluntary testimonials

lam ungrateful because of the blackness
the knowledge brought on my heart. We
are grateful to the surgeon who removes
the cancerous growth no how
great the pain of the operation. It is I
who should blame myself—and I do —
every minute for my weakness.”
"There is another matter I would speak
of. my son.” he said presently. "I saw
a woman in the street as I was coming
here tonight and I was amazed to recog
nize her as the friend of the dead wo
man. Ido not think I could be mistaken.
Had she. been here?”
"Yes,” replied Tokoramo, indifferent
ly.
"S*e had?” exclaimed the old man,
with a start.
"Yes, she has been here several
times."
"Tokoramo!" cried the other. He could
not conceal his agitation. "This is unbe
lievable. Why—why”—
‘‘What is the matter?" Tokoramo lifted
his head in dull surprise at the old man’s
answer.
"Why, my son!” Joshakawa stared at
him in wonder and alarm. "Don’t you see
that it must not be known that this wo
man know’s you? Supposing the police
finds out that she came here with the
other one -that the other one loved you
and came frequently to your house!"
"It is only a little more than two weeks
now. father.” said Tokoramo. quietly.
"Yes, but the trial is next week!” ex
torted Joshakawa. hiting his thin mus
tache feverishly. “And Yamoshi tells me
there will he no more delays.”

come here again." said Tokoramo, with
a sigh
"It is too late for that!” declared the
old man, with a dark frown. "There must
be no mistakes—no slips now. We must
be certain that the woman will not ap
pear for trial."
Tokoramo threw him a quick, keen
look. ,
"How. my father?” he asked in a low
voice. .
"I do not know." replied the other with
a frown, and Tokoramo saw that he
spoke the truth —saw it to his relief. "I
must consult with Yamoshi and Kobohashi
at once."
And before Tokoramo could say another
word the old man had picked up his hat
and hastened out.
• * •
When Joshakawa reached the Wallen
pension he found that Yamoshi was out.
but Kobohashi was sitting up reading in
his room, and to him the old man unfolded
the new danger that threatened the suc
cess of their conspiracy. It was char
acteristic of him and his methods that
he never considered the possibility of
any failure of their plan to keep Toko
ramo clear of the farthest connection with
the murder, other than that it occurred
at his house. He was in a hurry for
a conference simply to determine upon
the best way to keep Teri away from the
police. The best way, only, was the con
sideration. No moral or financial obli
gation would be considered at all. In
all their dealings these Japanese of the
secret service follow ed as‘a sacred creed
the teaching of that mighty, acute and
morally distorted intellect which held that
such trifles as murders should not stand
in the way of a great end.
Only One Way.
Kobohashi listened gravely while Josha
kawa briefly outlined the situation. He
thought rapidly in silence for a few min
utes.
“Could w? not offer her a better en
gagement than she has here—in Paris or
New York, say?" he suggested.
Joshakawa shook his head impatiently.
“Too dangerous." he objected. "Be
sides, there is scarcely time. And if she
attempted to leave Germany openly at
this time she would certainly be turned
back al the frontier even if she could slip
away from the Berlin police."
"Surely, my father." agreed Koboha
shi, "but there is no need that I can see
for the Berlin or any other German po
lice to know that she is going."
z "You mean to smuggle her out?"
