CHAPTER VIII.


Livingston could not compose himself
to read.
When he flung down the end of his
first cigar he was, if anything, more
restless than when he entered his lodg-
ings.
The strange interview with the prima
donna produced a stimulating effect
upon him. He could neither think nor
read, and as for the rest he crayed-
there was more rest, he believed, in &C
tive exertions in behalf of poor Beau
champe. He was glad that he had
permitted Vittoria to do all the talking.
Evidently she did not dream matters
were so serious Somehow, she had
assumed that the artists name had been
used with as little ground or reason as
her own when the murder was dis
cussed-
One thing he could and would do at
once
He pulled half dozen sheets of paper
toward him, wrote rapidly on them, in
closed the slips in as many envelopes,
placed them In his pocket, rose, put on
his hat, and left the house. He walked
two squares, turned into an Office occu-
pied by an acquaintance, and rung for
messenger. When the boy answered,
Livingston placed the envelopes in his
hand, gave the boy double fees, and dis
patched him swiftly on his errand.
The notes were addressed to the man
aging editors of the leading papers.
Livingston knew precisely what they
would accomplish. His faith in Beau
champe was so strong, his sympathy for
Miss Beauchampe so deep, that he had
taken extraordinary risks
Having staked his all on the result,
Livingston resolved TO seek Simmons
again, and, either with or without his
assistance, solve so much of the mYs-
FERROUS murder as would enable him to
determine whether there was any ground
for suspecting his friend.
That he might be able 10 do this. ne
explained the nature of the work he was
engaged upon in the note he left on the
desk of the managing editor of the
paper claiming his undivided attention
Then he dispatched a message to
Simmons, and repaired to a chop house
much frequented by writers on the
daily press and artists, and was sur
prised at the appetite he manifested
when he cleared the table.
Having thus fortified himself for an
other hard days work, he went in quest
of Simmons.
Mr.. Simmons failing him, Livingston
made an appointment for the afternoon,
and then went to work In his own way.
When live newspaper mans resources
fail him, the average man may as well
sit down, AIicawber-like, and wait until
something turns up.
The newspaper man commonly turns
something up, and when necessity de-
mands supplies the pivot

ingstOn aud Simmons compared notes.

The hmono. or tea gown, as worn by
the men in and ont of the house, is
tight enough TO hamper them serious
~ IN active movements, wherefore pill
grims and other mountain climbers
and tourists discard it, covering their
limbs only with cotton drawers. But
the kimono as worn by the women is
more inconyepient still, for around it q
piece of dressing material is wound
several times, so tightly that it is i'm
possible for them to take any but the
very short and shutting steps which
are prescribed by fashion. This makes
them almost as awkward and helpless
as if they were Chinese women with
crippled feet.
In physiognomic mobility, and varie-
ty and deiniteness of expression, Jap
anese women are doubtless, as a rule,
inferior to our women; but by way of
atonement they have a fixed facial ex-
preston of amiability and girlish
sweetness that is extremely fascina-
ting. This charming expression, which
is a result of the habits of obedience,
kindly disposition, and desire to please,
inbred and cultivated from their child
hood, is common to all classes, from
the humblest to the highest.
In courteousness, aesthetic taste,
good manners and personal cleanliness
the lowly and ignorant women of Japan
are far superior to the corresp onding
grade in America or Europe, and, in
deed, to many who make pretenses o
a higher sphere.
Besides the expression of amiability,
there is another one of contentment
and absence of worry that attracts one
in these women. This is found even
in the servant maids, who are always
at beck and call; even in the laborers
in the muddy, malodorous rice fields,
in hot sun; even in the poor women
and girls who for one cent an hour
spend ten hours a day stirring tea with
their bare hands in hot kettle.
As regards sparkling, laughing eyes,
it would be difficult to find anything to
match the dark orbs of the Japanese
maidens when you chaff them in En-
glish, which sounds So funny to them,
or in your Japanese, which sounds
more funny still. They are the mer-
REST girls in the world, always ready
to laugh on the slightest provocation,
and their laugh is as musical as their
Language.

might not happen before his return?
He resolved to wire to her. too.
