Brave Japanese Fishermen.

The Japanese as race are fearless.
This Is evidenced by the hazardous
occupation of the little brown men who
earn a living far from the rocky coast
lines Of the islands. One of the chief
articles Of diet in Japan is fish. To
secure 1t for the market the Japanese
so many miles from land in their tiny
craft, which to those who do not un-
derstand their strength and buoyancy,
look rs though any ordinary wave
would capsize them. These Japanese
so two and three hundred miles at sea
to catch fish.
Each year the shores of the islands
are strexn with wreckage from the
boats, while the sea gives up the
bodies of the brave men who were
caught in the feaful typhoons which
sweep around this corner of the earth.
Then, again, the ocean liners take the
lives of many Of these doughty Japan
ese. There is never a diminution in
the numbers of the fleet.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Hill Of Dreams.

Franklin found himself swept along
with a tide of affairs other than his
own choosing. his grasp on the pos
sibilities Of the earliest days Of this
new civilization had been SO full and
shrewd that he needed now but to let
others build the house whose founda-
ton he had laid.
Yet ever chill struck his soul as
he thought of the lost battle at the
Halfway House. There was now grass
grown upon the dusty trail that once
led up to the low-eaved house. The
green and gray of Nature were shroud
ing busily the two lonely graves of
those who had fought the frontier
and been vanquished in that night
of terror, when the old West claimed
its own. The Halfway House Of old
was but memory. And Mary Ellen,
the stately visitant of his sleeping or
his waking dreams, no longer might
be seen in person at the Halfway
House. Recreant, defeated, but still
refusing aid, she had gone back to
her land of flowers. 1t was Frank
Tn's one comfort that she had never
! known into whose hands had passed
a: price far beyond their actual
worth;-the lands OF the Halfway
Rouse. which had SO rapidly built up
for her competency, which had
cleared her Of poverty. only to re-
enforce her in her pride.
Under all the fantastic g--imness,
all the mysticism, all the discredlted
and riotous vagaries of his insubor-
dinate SOUL Franklin possessed a saw
ing common sense; yet it was mere
freakishness which led him to accept
a vagrant impulse as the controlling
motive at the crucial moment of his
life.

The Hill Of Dreams dominated the

Considering their size the Japanese
are undoubtedly the strongest people
in the world. Time and again these
little brown men have demonstrated
their ability to endure fatigues that
would break down the most sinewy
Europeans. In any Japanese town
one cannot walk far without being
confronted by athletics in one form or
another. In the streets you can rare
! ly escape the painted and gaudily
dressed tots who turn baby hand
springs. execute somersaults and do
other infantile stunts in wheedling
effort to secure the "hairy foreigners"
wealth. A Japanese matsuri were not

spangled tight-rope performance, the

Al the Gateway.


In certain old Southern city there
stands. as there has stood for many
generations. and will no doubt endure
for many more. lofty mansion whose
architecture dates back to a distant
day. Wide and spacious, with lofty
stories. with deep wings and many
narrow windows. 1t rests far back
among the ancient oaks. a stately
memorial OF day when gentlemen
demanded privacy and could afford
1t. From the iron pillars of the great
gateway the white front OF the house
may barely be seen through avenues
made by the trunks of the primeval
grove. The tall white columns, reach.
ing from gallery floor to roof without
pause for the second lofty floor, give
dignity to this old-time abode, which
comports well with the untrimmed
patriarchal oaks. Under these trees
there lies, even to-day, deep blue
grass turf which never, from the time
OF Boone till now. has known the
touch Of ploughshare or the tool OF
any cultivation.

banners of dust where the wild game
swept by, nor did the eye catch any
Yine of distant horsemen. 1t was an
other day. Yet, as did the candidate
of old, he left his horse at the foot
of the hill and went up quite alone.
1t was afternoon as he sat down.
The silence and solitude folded him
about, and the sun sank 80 fitly slow
that he hardly knew, and the solemn
night swept softly on. Then he built
q little fire. In the night, after
many hours, he arose and lifted up
his hands. At the foot of the
hill the pony stopped cropping grass,
tently at the summit.
It was morning. The sun rose calm
and strong. The solitary figure upon
che hill sat motionless, looking out
There might have passed before him
a perspective Of the past, the Plains
peopled with their former life; the
oncoming of the white men from be-
low; the remnant of the passing Latin
race, typifed In the unguided giant
who, savage with savage. fought near
by, one brutal force meeting another
and both passing before one higher
und yet more strong. To this watcher
1t seemed that he looked out from the
halfway point of the nation. from the
halfway house of a nations irresist-
yble development.
Franklin had taken with him q
small canteen of water, but be-
thinking himself that as of old the
young man beseeching his dream
neither ate nor drank until he had
his desire, he poured out the water at
his side as he sat in the dark. The
place was covered with small objects,
bits of strewn shells and beads and
torn medicine bundles"-pieces of
things once held dear in earlier minds

a Frivolous
Martyr ~
By DONALD MILES,


.CTARTLING headlines in the Morn
~ ing Call announced the return otle
states of Flo Webster, the vaudeville
~.favorite, from a successful engagement
in the klodyke. Her fortune was vari-
ously estimated with a prolific wealth of
adjectives. Scores of young actresses
read the graphic accounts of Webster's
success; how chamois bags of gold were
showered at her feet, as she sang and
danced to audiences of rough millionaire
miners on the rude stage in the cold
country. They devoured accounts Of her
picturesque life, and illustrated Sunday
specials, pictured her wonderful dog
teams, the fastest in the Klondyke, and
her sleds laden with costly furs.
One morning before these stories were
beginning to find themselves in editorial
waste baskets dubbed dead matter" a
weary-eyed woman stepped from a han

doors. The frowsy maid within was

was a young visiting surgeon, who spent
most of his time at the hospital, and
whose patients were chiefly imaginary.
The woman waited impatiently in the
stuffy office, striding back and forth
across the room, stopping occasionally
before the doleful picture of a weeping
saint, OF the grim features of a painted
martyr.
For all the simmer of silks, the jing-
ling of chains and chatelaines, and the
sparkle of diamonds, she was not an i'm
posing figure. The beauty she had once
undoubtedly possessed had succumbed
to powder and paint, peroxide and cham
payne; but there was an expression in
her face of indomitable courage and
strength, and a hint of womanly possibil-
titles in her wide eyes.
She thought of her heralded success,
and smiled bitterly. The old happy days
before her adventurous journey were
constantly before her. She had gained
