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 GRAND CANADIAN TOUR McFarland's Seventh Annua!

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 TETTERINE CURES PILES. "One application cured me of a case of itching piles after 1 had suffered for five years."

"The pain—the 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.
