with rldlcule, and when he persisted,
and made her understand that he was
very much in earnest, she was so
frightened she knew o what to do.
She dared not tell her husband, for
then she knew that he and ku would
fight, and, as she expressed it, both
being in the consul's house, that
would never do. The feeling of a
large class of Japanese toward foreign
as well as their own officials is that
OF the deepest reverence. Hence
Waka idea that she must never drop
a word that would make trouble be-
tween two of the consul's servants,
no matter how great her grievances
might be; therefore she kept her own
counsel, thinking that by always re-
fusing to comply with Ku's plan, he
would after a little while give it up al
together. In this conclusion she had
found herself entirely mistaken, and
now that the storm had burst, she
knew not where to turn for shelter. 1t
was too late now to tell her husband,
who would consider himself irretrieva-
bly, disgraced, and would never for
give his wife for being the recipient of
such proposals, and withholding them
from him.
A mutual friend of Shinski's and
Waka's had just come in-Skazo, the
head servant of the United States Min
lister, who was visiting us from Yeddo
and as he listened to her plain state
ment OF the case, his face grew very
grave, and he evidently thought her
cousre wrong, and that it must result
in serious consequences. He had come

err up all the facts in the case, and
then to place them before his friend.
Although Waka talked very freely and
calmly with Skazo, it was quite evil
dent that she had no hope of favor or
forgiveness from her husband. We
now found that Japanese law permit
ted the husband to take the life of his
wife under such circumstances with
impunity, or, if he should so elect, he
might give her a bill of enforcement
and send her away.
As L was crossing the street to return
to my house, that / might find Shin
ski, and use all my influence with him
in Waka's favor, 1 saw Ku standing
just outside the gate, and said to him:
"ku. come into the house. want YOU"
Without answering a word he COM
menced a very rapid retrograde move
ment, and the last view that l ever had
OF this Oriental free-lover was that he
was running at full speed toward his
kanegawa home.
AS soon as / saw Shinski, / knew
that he comprehended the whole stu
alton. His face wore an expression
that fairly chilled me. l said to him:
