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 a wheedling
effort to secure the hairy foreigners"
wealth. A Japanese matsuri were not

spangled tight-rope performance, the

the wrestlers, tumblers, spearsmen or
fencers.
So deeply rooted is the native love
for the strenuous life that the ma
tional sports of other lands have been
tried in japan. The mikado, with
many of the imperial family, attends
the annual spring races in Yokohama,
but nothing In the line of imported
sports 30 appeals to the Japanese as
cycling and baseball. Cycling clubs
are scattered all over the empire,
thousands Of American bicycles spin
across the island and the foreigners
experience difficulty In keeping even a
few Of the records and trophies out
of native hands.
The Toxic baseball team is an eff
cient organization and 1t frequently
drubs the teams from other ports and
cities. At the Yokohama cricket
grounds excellent and sharply con-
tested games may be witnessed occa-
sionally between the Toxic native
team and the Yokohama foreign or.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Hill of Dreams,

Franklin found himself swept along
with 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 a 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
Inns one comfort that she had never
known into whose hands had passed
at price far beyond their actual
worth-the lands of the Halfway
House, 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 grimness.
all the mysticism, all the discredited
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.
To very few men Edward Frank
lin has admitted that he once dream
ed of hill topped by little fire,
