JAPANESE LOVE STORY.

Long, long ago, when the people Of
Unai lived in houses resting on platforms
built out in the Ikuta river, there were
two lovers who sought the hand Of the
same maiden. One youth was her neigh
Dor, and named Mubara. The other was
one Chinu, from the neighboring province
of Idzumi. They were as twins in height,
face and figure, and Of the same age.
For not only did they come at the same hour
to WOO her, but when the maid looked
aferwsrd upon their gifts they were the
same. Both loved her with the same
love.
What awaited it, then, that The sweet
maid thought to accept the one who loved
the more, for both loved aIiket Sick at
heart and puing with divided passion,
1 tile maiden would meet them at her cot.
tsge, neither accepting OF either nor
responding to the affection manifested in
1 ten thousand different ways.
Month after month ,hus Lassed away,
when at length the parents Of the msideu,
ashamed of Their daughters uUeeemly
conduct, summoned The two lovers into
their presence on the platform OF the
house IN front Of which the river flowed /.
| On It's current a lone wateriowl was sail
ing gayIy.
Draw your bows, said The parents, who
ever shalt pierce the bird shall have our
! daughter.
The lovers twain drew bow OF the same
instant, and forth sped two arrows paral-
| lei and point TO point. One struck the
bead, one the tail Of ;he bird.
The long contest was still undecided,
Neither was the better marksman.
Loyeslck and hearisick, the maiden ut.
tered cry and flung herself into the
stream. While father aud mother cried
out 10 grief, the two lovers plunged 10 to-
gether to rescueher. One csughuher by
the hand, the other by the foot, and In
the swift current all three perished to-
gether.
With many tears and lamentations, the
+ odies were drawn out Of the water aud
