Respect for AGE in japan.

In japan there is no such thing as
disrespect from youth to age. Nc
Japanese boy or girl could ever think
in a light or disrespectful manner of
his or her superiors or teachers; and
this may account for the earnestness
so unusual among young children
When a student enters a masters
presence in Japan he bows to the
floor, and when the lesson is finished
be bows again. with expressions of the
deepest gratitude, as he takes his de
psrture. The teacher. sitting in most
cases upon his feet on the flor, grave
ly returns each salutation, then lights
his little pipe and waits for his next
class. There is no hurrying of mas
tiers from room to room, as I'm some

Epilepsy, Backache and Kidney Com
plant, Mr.. w. H. Smith of this place
is a well man again and those who

and bent toward him as from a sudden
impulse while she said, did you ever
meet people who were strangers to
you, and yet who from the moment
you looked into their faces seemed
otherwise?"
She had laid a hand upon his shout

in his face as he looked into her earn

half-mischievous but wholly winning
smile as he replied. with a gallantry
hardly to have been expected in a

Dropping on his knees, he grasped
q ring, and a square of the appar-
emily solid wall rolled up with graf
ing noise until it was level with his
head, as he still knelt; and rush
of damp air, as IL from out of doors,
stirred the short locks on Jeans fore
head, as he stared with wonder-filled
eyes into the dark opening that gaped
before them.
A minute later the boys eyes were
nearly blinded, as he followed his
companion into a cave-like room, with
a floor of rock, which was also the
material of its ceiling and walls. 1t
was furnished but scantily; and
around a table at the farther side
were several men, while somewhat
apart from them sat two women.
AS Thiel entered, with Jean close
behind him, the men ceased talking,
and stared with evident displeasure
at the boy-all except Laro, who
called out, AHA, my young mate, is 1t
myself? Welcome, my sea-gull!"
He put out an inviting hand; then,
turning to a slenderly built man Of
middle age seated next him, with an
elbow on the table and hand sup
porting his cheek, Count de Gaze
neau, permit me to present to you
my young friend, Jean LATTE, who
is some day to be my mate, and who
is as dear to me as an own son."
The count did not cnange his posi-
ticn, but stared modify at the hand
some boy while murmuring a cour-
teous acknowledgment of his pres
ence. AS for Jean, he scarcely heard
the words, so engrossed had his
senses become with the beautiful face
confronting him from the other cor
ner of the room.
The young lady was looking at him :;
and from her clear blue eyes there
flashed a smile that opened the red
lips to show two rows of little pearl
like teeth, as she said in voice
whose sweetness held yet a note of

CHAPTER v.

Mt was the afternoon of the fourth
Cay when Jean. fearing lest Laro
might come to seek him, and thinking
that perhaps Greloire also would be
coming, decided to go to lie Chen
Heureux. Pierre having already gone
out to see some of his military friends.
The air was crisp, and Jean, walk
ing rapidly, was turning the corner of
the street leading down to the inn,
when he saw Laro approaching.
''Ha, runaway" the latter called
out, smile lighting his dark face. II
was but just coming to see you. put
to sea this night"
Jean started and Stared.
Aye; this very night with the

'VJean's cheeks were filled with sud

excitement. But this all passed away
as he said sighingly, AYE, would
like to go; but"
Il eH IL is Dul lOr you 10 come,
urged the tempter.
Jean paid no heed to this, but in
quired. why are you going in such
haste?"
WELL" replied Laro, lowering his
tone. There is in the city a certain
wealthy royalist who has fed from
Paris with his daughter Roselle, a
most beautiful demoiselle of eighteen.
He and few others have made it
worth my while to carry them to
Louisiana, where they will seek new
homes.
Come, lad" he added coaxingly;
make run of it, and come with me
over seas. Come with me, | say, and
you'll reap more gold in shorter time
than did ever an arstocrat of France. "
Not on this trip, Laro," replied
Jean, calmly, but with unmistakable
firmness. You have said you would

A clock in a nearby tower had just
tolled off the hour of as he arose I'M
steadily from the card table. where he
had sat for three hours, stretched his
weary limbs, babe his comrades good
night and started in the direction Of
his home.
After half-hour's walk In which all
the lamp posts and telegraph poles
insisted on getting in his way, he ar
rived at his home, took out his bunch
of keys. at last found the elusive key
hole and softly opening the door and
discarding his shoes at the foot Of the
stairs, climbed heavenward on all
tours. With catlike footsteps he crept
across the threshold Of his bedroom
and proceeded to undress. He heard
his wife move restlessly, which made
him hurry. and in doing SO he up set
chair. Stepping quickly over to tie
cradle in the corner, he commenced
to rock 1t violently.
"Is that you, John?" came his wife's
voice from the bed.
"Yes. DEAR" he replied.
well, what in the world are you
doing?" she asked.
"Why, I'm rocking this blamed kid

"How long have you been there?"
"Since 1890"

lance. But you'll not speak to any
one of our sailing tonight"
"Nay-not |. Why should I?'
asked Jean, as he opened the door.
I'll see you again before sailing
time
Jean walked slowly along the
streets, seeing nothing for time. He
wasuSoing toward home, and had al
most reached the narrow street upon
which stood Margot's cottage, when
he saw approaching that which sent
his dreams flying, and with them all
thoughts of Laro and Louisiana.
1t was Greloirea who appeared to
have seen him at the same moment;
for he paused, as if waiting for the
boy to come near.
Tell me-have you seen him?
What said he?" Jean demanded, be-
fore they had gone half dozen steps.
Never mind whether or not have
seen him. replied Greloire. rather
slowly. Let it suffice that he knows
of my having met with you, and of
your anxiety to see him. But he bids
you, with his love, to stop at home
for the present. Wait quietly here.
as he asks of you, and you will be
sure to see him in short time"
See him-here!" exclaimed the
boy. "How can that be?"
Ht~cannot tell you that; only wait.
and you shall see. He was not pleased
that ever thought to encourage your
leaving the city; and so you must
promise not to attempt it."
rebellious light shone for a mo-
ment in the dark eyes turned to meet
the soldiers stern look. Then it was
gone, and Jean answered with a deep
sigh, YES; | will do as he wishes"
It lacked but few minutes of eight
o'clock, and the neighborhood of lie
Chen Heureux was unwontedly quiet.
Inside. however, there was the
usual gathering of soldiers and citi-
zens.
Laro was not in the room with the
other customers; and Jean, upon in
curing for him, was told in a low
tone by Thiel that the captain was in
his own apartment.
He then invited Jean to follow him,
and, after bidding Pierre wait where
he was, and to open the door to no
one, he led the way TO the passage.
