"Can she be induced to leave the coun try*" suggested Monntario. Joshakawa frowned at him and stirred impatiently in his chair. "My son," hp said bitingly. ‘“Kobohashi and I did not call you into this matter so that you might make suggestions which we have already considered and aban doned as impracticable. You are a very astute and trustworthy young man, and when you have sufficient years you will make as good a general as you are now a private." The young man bowed nis head and took the rebuke with a muttered apology "What is to be the plan, my father?" he ventured after a short pause. Josh akawa s brows came together again. "We have not yet fully decided," he replied. "We are going to call on the young lady this morning in the hope that something in the conversation may sug gest a plan." "1 understand," said Mnnotario. Am I to go with you?" "Yes." replied the old man. "you will have an opportunity to make an estimate of the young woman and know how to deal with her —as you will be the agent in whatever plan we fix upon.” After a little further discussion, which was unimportant as to results, the ‘three w ent out into the bright summer morn ing and walked in the direction of Teri’s apartments. It was a day to gladden the heart and quicken the pulse. The sun blazed down from a sky of flashing blue steel and touched he leaves of the sway ing trees with sparks of silver Are. About them a thousand birds lifted up their songs in praise of the glorious concord of heaven and earth; but all this was un noticed by the three who walked in si lence, their minds filled with lhe dark business that had brought them forth. They did not exchange a word until they had reached the door of Teri's home and then Joshakawa told the others to permit him to open the conversation and follow his lead. In Teri's Home. The young woman received them in a pretty little sunlit room. She wore a de cidedly informal morning gown and looked very fresh ami pretty. Josha kawa introduced himself and then the others, explaining that they were close friends of Tokoramo. ‘ Then you are twice welcome." said the girl with a bright smile, ami held out her hand? to them again. "Please make yourselves comfortable. May 1 offer you some coffee or tea?" she added, with an other smile The younger men murmured polite re fusals "We have just finished breakfast," said Joshakawa, as he took a seat. The others disposed of themselves in the same way, sitting in ih*ir rigid, uncomfortable fash ion nn the edge of the chairs. Teri waited politely for the visitors to open the subject of their ••all and Josha kawa regarded her with a fatherly smile. "You are no doubt wondering why we should have intruded." he said, in the wdnning voice of a kindly old man. Teri flushed slightly in emharrassmen’ and murmured that friends of Tokoramo wore always welcome at her house. "It is about him that wp have called." said the spokesman; and if Kobohashi fol: that this was getting rapidly onto danger ous ground ho made no sign.

"But we, who are his closest friends, think otherwise. He is like a son to me, and like a brother to the others, and he is engaged in work that is of the high est importance to himself and his peo ple. My dear young lady, it would be impossible for us to exaggerate the grati tude we feel toward you for your inter est in our friend s health!” "Oh!" exclaimed Teri. "I haven’t done anything for him. He won’t let me. I should think that you who have known him so much longer woulf| be able to make him take care of himself. I am so worried about him!" And the girl s eyes grew big and serious. "You are worried about him?" repeat ed Joshakawa. politely questioning. "Why do you think there is any thing se rious the matter with him?" The girl hesitated, started to speak, stopped and at last she said with some restraint: “Well, I suppose it is no secret to you that he was in love with my friend — lllona Kerner, who " she flashed slight ly and broke off. Joshakawa nodded encouragingly ami came to her aid. "Do not be afraid of embarrasing us." he said, in grave, gentle tones, "the girl was murdered by one of our countrymen and it is a shame to our country but we cannot help it. and we face the fact with as much philosophy as possible and with some sympathy for t-he unfortunate boy.” "It must be a painful subject fnr you, fraulein." added Koboshi; "but for that I would take the liberty of adding that not the least part of our grief is the thought of your suffering over the loss of your friend." Teri’s lips trembled and her eyes filled. "lllona was the best friend I ever had,’ she said, in a low voice. Then she went on steadily. "But she is gone now. and she loved Tokoramo. The best that I can do for her memory is to help the man she loved all I can." Joshakawa murmured that he under stood. and the girl, gaining confidence, began to talk warmly about Tokoramo's health.

"Dying!" he ejaculated. Teri's Warning. "That is what 1 said," declared the girl, the nurse in her up in arms. "The man is killing himself with worry and work just as fast as he can." "My dear young lady!" exclaimed Josh akawa "I think you must certainly be mistaken. One of our goo<l friends- Dr. Omayi -seldom fails to call on Tokoramo at least once a day. and he says that he is very tired and will need a long rest when he has finished his work. Rut he insists there is no cause for alarm." "I am not a doctor," replied Teri, set ting her lips tightly together. "Rut I have as much common sense.as most peo ple. It doesn't make any' difference what the doctor says is the matter with him* Whatever it is—whatever you choose to call It—-it Is killing him.

"Well, ’ said Teri, somewhat tartly , "his excellency, the prime minister, will not get it. That is my opinion." “What do you mean?" eA-laimed Josh akawa. "1 mean that 1 think that Tokoramo will break down within a few days if he hasn't broken down in the night. Cnn’t you men help him, or make him rest for a few days?" The eld man shook his head. "We would gladly do any thing in our power, fraulein." he said, "but. unfortunately, both of these -things that you suggest are beyond our power." "Why?" insisted the girl. "It is -.cry simple," replied Joshakawa, with a slight shrug of his shoulders. '“'His work is something that we knMv noth ing about.

As to his resting he is in the service of his country, and he would rather die at his desk than give up until his work is completed. Dr. omayi has begged him to take cefre of himself, but he will listen to none of us." A little silence followed this explana tion. The toe of Teri's shoe tapped the floor.
