THE SILENT WOMAN.

Alua Oshikoji Nobutaro Discovers His Ideal.
From the Toxic Times.]
pea,4 [0shkoji Nobutaro was young Japanese
Dble, who found himself quite disillusion-
vph 3D. so that the gayetes of society, the varie-
81 Of travel, nor the achievement of literary
y ! distinction were pleasing to him, and he re-
Mn tlred, prey to unutterabe WEAKNESS, to
esp lhe ancestral abode on the beautiful shores
nta Of Lake Riwa, hoping to find at least tran
$. lquility. The tale proceeds:]
q q. In the time of the second gathering of
q q. the tea, the mildest and fairest of the
81 - year, when the trees begin to fill with
little nests, and when all nature trem-
bles and bushes with conscious warmth,
lriye lchigoro ordered couple of nori
mono, and started off to Biwa to take
oM, counsel with his exiled friend. He
lp4 feund Nobutaro in the fields at the base
81 Of Hi Yei Zan, practising the enliven-
'n.as y ing pursuit of hawking. The greetings
J !. !. q the young men were polite and dec.
'ns orous, and their conversation, which
M urhed upon various subjects, was at
y, once exhilarating and instructive.
