ONE MORE

Scarcely a day has passed during this

caught one fish. and proudly brought II

blackened as though by severe bruising
Medical examination showed that the
body had been In the water upwards Of

TANGE TELLS OF LOVE
OF JAPS FOR EMPEROR

The soul of little X. Dol, the wait
er, was in his eyes as F. Tango told of
the love that haunts every Japanese
heart-love for the emperor. Dois
eyes were the only confirmation the
newspaper man needed of Tange's
words.
1t was the accustomed hour in the
afternoon. when the restaurant was
deserted. Tango was full of his sub
ject, and his black eyes sparkled be-
hind the gold-rimmed glasses which
perched on the bridge of his patri-
clan nose.
He is a strange little man, this +.
Tango, with a head full of business
and heart full of patriotism. In figure
dapper, in dress immaculate, in the
ways of the world wise. he is yet n
patriot and a poet. All japanese are
patriots and poets.
Dol is both, though of humble birth.
Now he did not presume to interrupt
while Tango was speaking; but his
eyes were as eloquent as Tange's
words.
"You." said Tango, turning to the
