f Grief, ioye, despair and their kindred
emotions stabbed him with poignant force
a’ times, but the touch was superficial.
He felt as deeply, and the feeling passed
as quickly as with a child.
Excepting his friends among his coun
trymen no one but Lindener ever ap
proached him. The artist, who had gone
downhill rapidly, since the woman's
death, seldom failed to come to the house,
at least once a daj It was a sort of
pilgrimage to the shrine of a dead proph
et It gave a keener edge to his grief,
tut he preferred that feeling to the dull
misery that he suffered when away.
And Tokoramo was the only human
■* being to whom he could talk rreely. It
was not that the Japanese sympathized
with him openly. Indeed, he frequently
rambled on his talk for hours while To
koramo sat at his work scarcely hearing
one word in ten. But it was a relief to
r him to talk about it all. And through all
of his talk there was the querulous, in
sistent "why” of the child that rebels
against the seemingly blind bludgeon
i strokes of Fate.
Dr. Omayi was as regular a visitor as
Lindener. He watched the breaking man
’ as closely and carefully as he would have
watched a fever patient in the hour of
the crisis. He superintendent the meals
1 and personally administered the stimu
lants he prescribed, to be certain that
Tokoramo took them properly and at the
proper time But with all this he daily
told Joshakawa that he doubted if Toko
ramo would hold out to finish his work.
Omayi was to return to Japan with To
koramo's manuscript. His passage was
, booked for the first of the month, and
there was still work to do on the day
before. He and Joshawaka stayed with
Tokoramo all that day and kept him at
his task. When his head drooped through
sheer weakness, the physician always
managed to bring it up again with his
hyperderniic needle.
Long after midnight the others came in,
watched in silence, ready to help in any
way that help might be needed; and as
the shadows crept into the room Toko
ramo suddenly sank across the desk with
a low moan.
Joshawaka leaned over and shook the
•limp shoulder impatiently.
"Work! Work, my friend!" he ex
claimed. "You have still much to do!"
C Nearing the End.
[ Tokoramo only moaned and made no
■ effort to sit up. Joshakawa turned to. the
fc doctor with a quick look of appeal, but
f* Dr. Omayi shook his head this time
| Joshakawa muttered an angry exclama-
■ 'ition
K "But the work must be finished!" he
[ protested, with another shake of the
f spineless figure. "We have been waiting
I two months for this. Make the entry,
F Tokoramo! Omayi starts for home in the
morning and he must take the work with
him I"
He shook Tokoramo again and spoke
L. exactly as he would to a stupid boy. Dr.
K Omayi laid a hand on his arm
P "He must rest." he said, gravely. '’The
■ ' strain has reached the breaking point.”
■ "Hut In- can not." insisted Joshakawa,
■ feverishly. The doctor shrugged his
I shoulders, bent over Tokoramo and felt
I h‘s pulse Then he gently drew him back
’ and seetf-d into his upturned eyes. He
stepped back, raised his eyes to Josha
kawa's anxious ones and shook his head
L again.
"It Is enough!” he said, firmly. "He
• must rest for a few hours. It has been
U too much for him!"
I Joshakawa started tn break nut with
■ protests but the doctor coolly turned his
I back and began preparing a dose nt med-
II icine Mutering angrily under his breath
• Joshakawa accepted the inevitable.
"Come!” he said to the others. "Let us
go and leave him for.a. while. We will
return later. But, remember, doctor, the
work must be finished tonight. You had
' better remain with him."
With a last look at his patient, the
doctor joined Joshakawa at the door of
the ante-room.
"I can do nothing more for him at
present." he said, quietly. "Rest Is the
only thing that will help him It would
be better to leave him entirely alone.”
“Is there any hope for him—after-
' wards?" he asked. Dr. Omayi avoided
I his gaze
"His heart Is very bad,” he said, eva
sively. "Almost a complete collapse of
p ea rt—and brain. The strain of these last
two months would have killed a bullock.”
The whole troop passed out and the
, sound of the closing door seemed to
arouse the half-conscious man at the
I desk He sat up slowly and exclaimed in
? a barely audible voice: "Dr Omayi!'
Then twice over: "Joshakawa! Josha
, kawa'”
His eves wandered vaguely about the
big room and at last he' seemed to real
ize that he was alone .With the great
est effort he succeeded in geting to his
feet, and by holding on to the desk and
chairs, reached the divan There he sank
with' a groan among the cushions and im
mediately lost consciousness
But lhe nervous tension was too great

, rrr head and a'l complete, rfter
mking Quaker Extract onh two days,
and he is "ell aft€r suffering for years
for any long rest. In less than half an
hour he sat up with a start, but so
great were the man's powers of recuper
ation that even this short rest revived
him W'onderfully But he was still groan
ing and muttering to himself when he
rose and slowly moved back to his desk.
Here he sat for a few minutes with his
eyes closed and. picking up his brush,
set to work again
For a quarter of an hour he worked,
painfully but steadily, and then there
was onther interruption. Lindener came
tn.
There were dark circles under the ar
tist’s eyes. His clothes were soiled and
had apparently never been pressed. His
loose tie was half untied. His hair was
uncombed and an inoh or so too long
"Good evening, my friend.” he said,
huskily, as he walked abross to the desk
with his hand held out. "No. no! Don’?
rise. How are you tonight?"
Tokoramo’s worn features twisted
themselves into a parody of a smile.
"I have my work to finish.” he said,
with a feeble wave of his hand over the
manuscript before him. Lindener sighed
deeply and headed for the liquor stand.
"Always at your work!” he exclaimed,
between wonder and peevishness. "What
concentration! I wonder at you. In my
early days I had some concentration, but
nothing like this—and time wears it
away, my friend; time wears.”
He sighed deeply and drained a small
glass of cognac. Tokoramo. crouched
over his desk, apparently did not hear.
The brush was once more tracing its end
lass path back and forth across the
white paper Lindener sank Into a big
chair and went on, as much to himself
as to Tokoramo;
"I don't see how you can do ft. Here -
in this room—with that—that one opening
off it." His gaze wandered to the por
tieres. "I slfltuld think her ghost would
be with you—would protest against it.
And yet—the dead never harm the liv
ing. It Is the living who do the mis
chief. The dead are harmless. They
are kind—gentle. Their memory enno
bles, relnes. Only the dead can be loved
with a pure. true, patient love. The
living are faithless—only the dead are
steadfast, only the dead are true."
In spite of himself Tokoramo groaned
aloud. Instantly Lindener was all con
cern.
"What is it. my friend?” he asked anx
iously. "Do you suffer much?"
Tokoramo raised his head, but his eyes
were closed. He waved his hand tou
ward the windows.
"Open a window, my friend." he begged
in a weak voice. "It is,air I want."
Lindener hastened to a window and
threw It open.
"It is oppressive," he said. “The cool
dawn air will do you good.” The window
opened to the east and the first faint
flush of the dawn was tinging the hori
zon. "The day is just breaking." he said
softly "The sky iS pink and gray—like
Illona's cheeks and eyes. Ah! if you could
have but known her! You might have
known her but that boy in prison—he
probably brought her here to introduce
her to you and instead—he killed her
You would have loved her, my friend
you would have loved her In spite of
yourself. You might have taken her
from him as he took her from me."
Tokoramo groaned again
“Ah'. My friend, but think how I suf
fer! 1 think and think of her until I can
think no morel—her eyes—the way she
walked, her smile, her laughter, like an
echo of all the sweetness in the world!
That boy in his cell must remember all
Ihis.”
"Please!” moaned Tokoramo, pressing

agony”
"I know I shouldn't distress you.” said
Lindener. pathetically, but with a strange
gleam in his eyes and a strange restless
ness of manner. He drew slowly nearer
and nearer the desk "But that boy—in
prison—you would have saved him if you
could, wouldn’t you? But you had your
work.”
Tokoramo rose with sudden energy and
choked back an exclamation in Japan
ese. Lindener never took his eyes off
him. but led him to an armchair at the
■opposite side of the desk.
“Here, my dear friend.” he exclaimed
with the utmost tenderness. “Take a
more comfortable chair. There! Now
you can work better. 1 am feeling a
trifle faint, and if you don't mind I think
I'll take another sip of your incompara
ble cognac
He drank it slowly and turned back to
Tokoramo with a sigh
"What a comedy life is!" he said drear
ily. "For the past 48 hours I haven't had
a cent in my pockets, and I have lived on
cognac and cigarettes. Tonight it is just
two months since Illona died, and—but
what does it matter, so long as I can sit
here with you and drink your cognac and
smoke your cigarettes? But you must
finish your work.”
Tokoramo was busily writing as he
spoke, and after a few minutes of silence
he suddenly threw himself back in the
chair and tossed the brush on the floor,
bursting into a ghastly laugh Lindener
sprang up startled.
"It Is finished. It Is finished!” cried
Tokoramo. in an unnaturally loud and dis
cordant voice. "All—all that 1 can do for

The Georgian’s Great Proverb
Contest Is Still Young
Anyone Can Enter Now and Be in Line for One
of the Great Prizes That Are Offered for
Correct Solutions. Why Hesitate When the;
Chance Is Yours?
The Georgian's Great $16,000.00 Proverb Contest as still in the vigorous
hey-day of its youth. Don't entertain the idea for a minute that the costly, un
paralleled prizes which The Georgian offers to all are out of your reach simply'
because some of the puzzle pictures have already been printed. These prizes are/
.just as easily within your reach as they were on the day the contest began.
The Georgian, moreover, has provided every facility for you to get a run
ning start in the contest now, next week, or any time you ‘‘get the habit,” and ts
you start today, the habit is yours. The hack numbers of the contest are krspt (
in stock at The Georgian office, and are sold at the regular rate of The Daily ß ,
Georgian—2c per copy. You can get as many or as few as you like. Many are-,
ordering complete sets to date, which shows that the interest of our Great Con
test is still spreading—that the vital attractions of this unprecedented compefci- i
tion are being realized and appreciated by the NEW contestants all the time.
The back numbers are accompanied by the answer blanks - corresponding to,
each picture. Once you obtain the back numbers to date, yon are right up with;,
all the earlier starters. WSfe&u-n* <
This isn't a race. Time, has
nothing to do with it. It is just a
competition of cleverness. The
ones who solve the greatest num
ber of puzzles correctly will be
awarded the prizes. THINK OF
ONE THOUSAN D M AGNIFI -
CENT PRIZES. AND YOU NOT
IN THPZ CONTEST. WHY NOT
WAKE FP TO THIS CHANCE?
Are they not worth more than
the little labor of mind which is
required to solve the greatest
number of prizes correctly, the
number to complete the set, which
is 75?
It may be that we have laid
too much emphasis in these col
umns upon the great value and
beauty of the leading prizes. Cer
tainly. there is not a word to re
tract, for there were never more
magnificent rewards in a contest
of this kind than the handsome
prizes we are offering. It must be
understood that all the prizes in
our contest maintain the high
standards in their class, and will
be something to be proud of after
winning.
The popular Proverb Books are
still going like Coney Island frank
furters, and many of the contest
ants write us that they find them
most useful in solving some of the
proverbs. All you have to do is
to have some idea of the proverb,
then turn to the little book, which
is alphabetically arranged, and
there you have your answer right
before your eyes. What more
could you want in a contest of this
kind? The contestant who has one
of these hooks knows that some
where within the back and front
cover is the solution to each of
the puzzles in our contest, and this
in itself gives confidence and en
couragement.
The new contestants will find
them a great aid in facilitating the
solution of the back numbers. Os
course, we have some idea of the
puzzle picture, and if we have
something to make us sure, we will
have no trouble in winning one of
the prizes.
Os course, it is the best plan to
start before the very verge of the
end of the contest is reached. You
will want to give careful thought
to some of the pictures, and should
allow yourself plenty of time.
All things considered, there
couldn't be a better time to start
than this very day to begin your
march toward one of the high
standard prizes of our contest.
Read over the list of prizes care
fully and see for yourself whether
or not you want to try for one of
them. Os course, you will want
the $2,000 in cash, and if you do
not win this, why not try for some
of the other prizes?
Do not put it off any longer.
Start todav, and the goal will not
seem far away.
