II | Sataro thought that If he kept near the i temple, which had once been the home oi | 5hakko, Shakko would look after
 little boy who gave many a cash at his
 temple in Japan. As he groped about in the darkness. suddenly from the heights oi Nan Sam, the mountain. he saw four tongues of flame shoot up into the air
 Sataro wus enchanted. Perhaps" he
 thought, cit is the work of Shaklzo.' for al
 his feet he saw a flag. and as he wondered
 tho light faded away. As fast as his lit
 tie legs could carry him he ran back with his wonderful story of the Honorable
 Heaven Torches that 6hakko had lighted
 To his modification K Chong was not i'm pressed.
 -Four nres7'' he asked inquiringly l Then all Is well. The Heaven Born is al
 peace. Corea's enemies tremble afar. ' Now. let's play 'GO,' Bataro. Where's ! your checker board?"
 'NO, K Chong, tell mo more about the
 beautiful Heaven Torches" Then Ik explained how every night these
 four fires on Nam San tell of Corea's safety.
 Now, bonnres appeal to Japanese boys Just as they do to American boys. The only bonfires Sataro knew were the fires that destroyed pretty Japanese houses. Hero were beautiful fires that could hurt no one. He thought about it all the next day. In the evening he found K Chong on South street. playing pitch penny. ''Ik, come here. I've got something to tell you"
 "In minute." said Tx. 'sYi Kwen. that's mine" He swept I'D his cash and went over to Sataro.
 'Tk. can't we so up Nam San and see the Honorable Heaven torchesT
 "I don't know" said K. There are ghosts and devils on Nam San-''
 ''But ShalzhO has a temple there," urged Sataro.
 ''Oh, shaIkho,'' said Tx, Jingling his cop per cash. for the Coreans arc not very de- Vout
 sataro did not press the matter. but had another thought.
 i've can ask Blackburn San to go with us. He says there are no ghosts except printed ghosts.''
 Ik was not sure that Blackburn Sans disbelief made any difference. As 1t hap pened, they saw Blackburn San coming down Chong Dong and they wayIaid him.
 "Blackburn San. don't you want to goI and see the Honorable Heaven torches?'
 '>Tncse bOnf1res7 You bet." said Black burn San Ik Chong suggested the possi- ble danger.
 I'm not afraid of ghosts. Why, if I did meet a ghost could run my knife through | him." said Blackburn San. cOncluAvely.
 '-rhafs all you mOw," said we might meet old Songdong; he's . devil | ghost"
 I'm not afraid of him. either. My father has a picture of a Chinese general who met a devil ghost and he just took | him by the arm and shut him up in Jail.' eOntended Blackburn San This made K think
 -T know where therc's a devil ghost yaEI." ho said- ''It's that tree at Son Wang rNH mNsI kanaSnO and I'll cut of Siice of my eruusers and hang them on the devil tree. Then any ghost deyn will think the pieces are yuu ard me and not look for us on Nam San- Blackburn San. I'll take a piece for you"
 ''NO. airee. Mother will put a patch on and VnBt to knOv how tore my pants." Easd Blackburn San
 So Ik C1O1g hurried OG to hang up fine pieces of stuff. and when night came the IhTee boys started of for Nam San.
 Now Pax Yung Ca0 was tho official fire man Of the C0rean signal service on Nam San He had been hs5ing all day and had 2 bottle of EuI. with which ts had been scnsciing htmself as he tOiIed up Nam San.
