sthat of an American millionaire, who
instead of living in luxury and ease
among those of his own kin, has chosen
to reside among the Outcasts in far
away japan. Many years ago he was
one Of the GREATEST specialists in Amer

money for the purchase of such instru-

time returned to America, exhibiting
the work of the oriental tattOers to
anyone who would care to look at it.

every detail, adorned his back, while
other designs were scattered over other
parts of his body.

them outright from their parents. He
dressed them in military costume and

urge them on to further atrocities
