Mr.. Bunton, when she left his side, had
turned his back and did not look toward
his unhappy son-in-law until Daisy had
left the room. Then he said. and so

No need to repeat it In truth. The poor
young man was chilled through and
shaking with fright every time the word
prison or arrest was spoken. Even the
thought Of the $500 could not dispel his
ague Of fear, though through his troubled
mind there danced details Of the luxuries

No need to repeat the threat, for already
he was eager to start, fearful that the
offer of immunity and money would be
withdrawn before he could take advan-
tage of it. He glanced apprehensvely at
the merchant and said softly. did you

THE SERVANT QUESTION IN JAPAN.
Unfang Courtesy Marks Intercourse of Mistress and Maid

Politeness distinguishes the relations
between mfstresses and maids in Japan.
Il is so inexorabIe in Japan that even the
ceremony of giving notice Is turned
into an occasion of compliments There
arc no vulgar threats, or sulkings, or re-
ordinations, or seedlings, or answering
back" A servant will never tell her
mistress that she is dissatisfied or has
had some better place offered her That
would be unpardonably rude. Instead
she asks for a few DAYS leave of absence
This is willingly granted, for japanese
servants have no settled time for taking
holidays.

tress viii begin TO wonder whss has be-
come Of the girl She is not lett to Won

the plea is never contested, but accepted
