came out of the play rooms.
Some sauntered along talking and
laughing, others hurried down the
path with quick, uncertain steps, and
there were some who staggered as If
under the weight of despair.
BERTHE watched them listlessly for
time, but suddenly his attention was
caught by figure coming slowly along
the smooth gravel path.
1t was the figure of man, tall and
once stalwart, but now thin and worn.
There was a patrIcian grace and
haughtiness about it that would have
attracted the attention of the least OBJ
servant; but it was not these features
which struck BERTHE, but the resem-
biance of the figure to that of Stuart
Villiars.
He leaned forward on the seat and
watched him.
With dOwncast eyes and listless
steps the tall figure grew nearer.
AS he approached the saunterers
and idlers made way for him and look
ed after him, whispering among them
selves.
That he was d person of some noto-
Iiety was plain, and BERTHE got up and
moved into a seat nearer the broad
path.
Presently the figure came into a
line with the seat, and as the moon
poured full upon his features BERTHE
saw that it was Stuart Villiars.
The blood rushed to Bertie's face
This was the man who had, in cold
blood, sought the ruin of the girl Bert

passionate indignation and revul-
sion took possession of him and set
every nerve vibrating.
Almost unconsciously he moved for
ward, so that he stood almost directly
in Stuart Villiars' way

slow steps, moved a little aside, and as
he did so raised his head, and the eyes
Of the two men met.
For a moment Stuart Villiars looked
at him without a sign of recognition
on his pale, worn face, then he raised
his hand to his hat and touched it by
way of greeting. Lord BERTHE looked
him full in the face, and neither re.
turned the greeting by word or gest-
ure.

CHAPTER XxXVIl.

Stuart Villiars paused a moment and
looked at him keenly; then slowly,
with listless step, passed by, and Bert
SIC trembling with rage, sank on to
/ the seat.
An awful longing was taking pos
session of him; a longing to seize this
man by the throat and demand eXpia-
ton for the crime he had medltated
against the girl he. BERTHE, loved.
He sat brooding until the keepers of
the garden requested him to withdraw,
and all the next day the longing haunt
ed him. Hour after hour he brooded
over it recalling the misery which the
girl whom he had rescued had endured,
recalling every word she had uttered,
every expression in her eyes when she
learned that she had been deceived by
this man, this Stuart Villiars, who was
here at Monaco, within reach of his
vengeance
Half mad with rage and the passion,
ate desire for revenge, he went down
to the Casino on the following night
and watched and waited.
Towards midnight Stuart Villiars
arrived and took his place at the table
directly opposite Bertie's.
AS he sat down he glanced across as
if prepared to repeat his greeting. but
BERTHE stared him full in the face and
went on playing without a sign Of
recognition. Not trace of surprise
or chagrin made itself visible on Stu
art Villiars' face He PLAY Ell and lost

seat he had occupied the preceding
night.
In a moment or two afterwards Lord
Stuart Villiars appeared He came
abreast with the seat, he paused, and

each other.

silently regarding him, the moonlight

TALE OF JAPANESE HONOR
Sakaku


There was once a Samurai who went
by the name of Naisuke Harada ana
rented a cottge near the Wistaria tea
house in Shinagawa. Being out or
service, he was poor and lacked the
necessary fuel for the cold mornings,
and there were evenings toward the
end of the year when the light of a
lamp could not be seen in his house.
1t was indeed a melancholy ending
for the year, but there was his wife's
brother, Seian Nakarai by name, ply
sician, who lived on cross street by
the Myolin shrine in Kanda, and to him
Naisuke sent a letterrequesting aid. The
physician was annoyed by this letter,
which was by no means the first of its
kind, but he had no heart to refuse the
request, and so wrapped 10 dogs in a
pager and wrote:
Gold currency, the best remedy for
pecuniary embarrassment and an eff1.
cient cure for innumerable ailments"
This package he sent to Naisuke's
wife. OF course Naisuke was over,
joyed, and he Immediately sent out in
vitations for the new years festival TO
his intimate fellow Samurai. who were
all out of service like himself
A lucky snowfall lent enchantment
to the evening, and opening the hither
to forsaken brushwood gate, he hospit
ably ushered in seven guests. The
/ sleeves of their paper frocks-for, like
many other poverty-stricken Samurai,
they were obliged to wear outer gar
ments made of paper-were laid in q
row neatly, as the clothes of gentlemen
should be; and their ancient coats, al
though tattered and without lining,
somehow savored of the better days
that they had seen.
When the usual salutations were
over the host said
Il have been fortunate enough to re-
ceive help in my embarrassment and
am able to enjoy the new year with my
friends to my hearts content"
They all said it was an enviahle piece
of good fortune. The host then pro,

ed out the inscription on the wrapper.
What humor!" they cried, as they
handed it from one to the other.
The sake cup made its repeated
rounds. and, at last, apologizing for
having sat so long. and saying that
they had had happy time chasing the
cid year into oblivion. they began to
ing farewell song.
They helped TO clear away the warm
ing-pan of the sake and the minced
meat pot, and then collected the pieces
Of gold. passing them from hand to
hand, and begged the host to put them
away.
One piece, however, was lacking out
of the ten. and so they all left their
places. shock their sleeves and looked
before and behind. until at last it was
a settled fact that the coin was gone.
The host explained that he had paid
out enc piece for certain purchases.
and that it was altogether the fault of
his memory. But they insisted that
they were sure they had seen ten
pieces: that ii was a question of honor;
and that each one of them wished to
be searched in order to be cleared
nom suspicion.
At this the man who had occupied the
first place began untying his belt and
removing his garments, and the next
followed his example. The third. who
had hitherto sat silent and crestfallen,
thereupon sat up and said:
Such is the affection one has to
meet with in this transient world.

There is no need of my shaking myself,
for | am unfortunate enough to have a
roy on my person. Most Unexpectedly

When they had heard his resolute de-
cision they all said with one accord:
THAT may not be the case with you
alone. Being in Strengthened circum
stances does not make the possession
of one roy impossible. We know you
to be man of honor"

His hand was on the leather-coYered
hilt of his sword before the last word
died on his lips. But just at that in
slant voice was heard. Here is the

| In the semi-6arkness the company did

Happiness and honor were thus re,

But the hostess now called out from
the inner chamber that she had found
the coin, and she handed it out on the

served some boiled tano in the box,
and the moisture had made the thin
coin stick to the lid.
The number of coins was thus il
creased to eleven, and the guests con
graduated their host on the increase of
his treasure as being a good omen.
But the host replied:

nine coins, a search was made for the

because he had embarrassed h S

them TO trust him to extricate them
from his dilemma. They answered
, that they would be glad to leave the
matter wholly to him management.
Thereupon he deposited the coin at

placed it over the wash basin out in
