A Stor,y of Japanese Plotters. Love, Mystery and Tragedy (Based on the drama of that name as played by Walker Whiteside.) By J. W. M’CONAUGHY. Copyright, 1912, by The New York Even ing Journal Publishing Company. “This can be done only by making ab solutely sure that the woman will be out of reach of the police until Tokoramo has finished his work,” concluded Josha kawa. “Can she he induced to leave the coun try?” suggested Monotarlo. Joshakawa frowned at him and stirred impatiently in his chair. “My son,” he 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 his head and took the rebuke with a muttered apology “What is tn be the plan, my father?” he ventured after a short pause. Josh akawa a brows came together again. “We have not yet fully decided,” he replied. “We arc going to call on the young lady this morning in the hope that something in the conversation may sug gest a plan.” “I understand,” said Monotario. “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 went 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 the leaves of the sway ing trees with sparks of silver fire. 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 tilled with the 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 and pretty. Josha kawa introduced himself and then the others, expui amg that they were close friends of Tokoramo. ■ Then you are twice said the girl with a bright smile, and held out her hands 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 their rigid, uncomfortable fash ion on the edge < f th? chairs. Teri waited polit»J\ forth? wsitors to open the sub.ioet of their call and Josha kawa regarded her with a fatherly smile. You are no doubt wondering why we i lould have intruded,” he said, in the winning voice of a kindly old man. Teri flushed slightly in embarrassment and murmured that friends of Tokoramo were always welcome at her house. “It is about him that we have called,” said the spokesman; and if Kobohashi felt that this was getting rapidly onto danger ous ground he made no sign. Only last evening Tokoramo was talk ing to me about y<>u,” purred the old vil lain. “He told us of your kindness and many attentions to him in this time of trouble.

THE TYPHOON these other friends of Tokoramo’s so that we might thank you in person.” The girl flushed again and looked about the room. “Why, I have done nothing to speak of,” she said. It is what I would have expected you to say'.” declared Joshakawa, heartily. “Rut 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 deai- young lady, it would be impossible for us to exaggerate the grati tude w’e 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 rfie. I should think that you who have known him so much longer would be able to make him take care of himself. I am s<» 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 anything se rious the matter with him?” The girl hesitated, started to speak, stopped and at last she said with some restraint; “Well, 1 suppose it is no secret to you that he was in love with my friend— Illona Kerner, who ” she flashed slight ly and broke off. Joshakawa nodded encouragingly and 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 the unfortunate boy.” “It must be a painful subject for you. fraulein,” added Koboshi; “but for that 1 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. “Illona was the best friend 1 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 “Illona is dead and that can't be helped Clogged-Up Liver Causes Headache It’s a foolish proceeding to suffer from con shpahon, sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, indigestion and kindred ail roents when CARTER’S LITTLE LIVER I PILLS will end ell .. misery in a few 7“ s hours.

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 good 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. But he insists there is no cause for alarm.” “I am not a doctor,” replied Teri, set ting her lips tightly together. “But 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 I know that much and I should think that any one could see it.” The old man looked more concerned than ever and was apparently giving her words the greatest consideration, when she spoke again: “What is this work that he is doing? Is it so important that he has to sacri fice his life to it? Wont it keep until he can recover his health?” she de manded. Joshakawa raised his hand as if to re assure her. but he answered gravely: “We are not in Tokoramo’s confidence.

Based on the Great Play Now Running in New York that it must be completed—that his ex cellency, the prime minister, expects it by the first of the month.” “Well,” said Teri, somewhat tartly, "his excellency, the prime minister, will not get It. That is my opinion.” "What do you mean?” exclaimed Josh a kawa ”1 mean that I think that Tokoramo will break down within a few days-—if he hasn't broken down in the night. Can t you men help him, or make him rest for a few days?" The old man shook his head. "We would gladly do anything 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 very simple.” replied Joshakawa. with a slight shrug of his shoulders. "His work is something that we know noth ing about. We, all of us, who know him, have offered to help, but he has refused all of us. As to his resting—he is In the service of his country, and he would rather die al his desk than give up until his work is completed. Dr. Omayi has begged him to take care of himself, but be will listen to none of us.” A little silence followed this explana tion. The toe of Teri's shoe tapped the floor. "At least you could persuade him to leave that house.” she suggested. “I<eave that house? Why?" asked Joshakawa. “Because the atmosphere there Is as bad for him as the work that he Is doing. Think of It!” she exclaimed, with a little heat. "He is working there, day and night, in the very olacs —probably the very room—where the woman he loved was murdered!” To be Continued in Tomorrow’s Paper.
