Sangura destroyed himself; that he did not
live there, but spent in the garnet portion of
almost every day; and that he was quite a
problem to Pajol. the proprietor, and to all

''Messieurs, to men of your intelligence the
story is now plain. A young japanese noble
man comes to Paris, and wastes in profuse
extravaganza all the wealth he has brought
with him. This young japanese has in bis
possession jewel of immense value a pearl,
which is an heirloom in his family. Reduced
to the direst straits, he pledges it TO the surer
who has been his ruin. His debts swallow up
the sum he has received from the money
lender; starving and desperate, he finally
puts an end to his life Before this, however,
he has written to his brother in Yeddo telling
him that the family heirloom is in Meissners
hands, probably adjuring him to recover it.
This brother, kiosaka, comes to Paris; he
desires to recover the pearl; but more eagerly
still. as his actions show, he desires revenge.
He takes up his abode in the garnet where his
brother put an end to his life that he NAV be
constantly reminded of the duty of vengeance.
