The Russian counter-attack, desper-
ate though it had been, had failed to
get home; but the japanese infantry,
immovable itself, was unable to turn
the mass of Russians from behind the
fold in the ground which they had
reached. Barely 800 PAGES separated
the muzzles of these opposing lines Of
blackened rifles. But that green strip
was impossible to both. In the center
of the space was mound upon which
Lieutenant Tokugawa's attention was
fixed. This mound, says the author Of
THE Yellow War;" exercised the same
fascination upon u tall Russian sub
altern.
The fascination of athe mound
changed to magnetism for the little
Japanese officer He Is on his feet,
the steel is bare in his hands, and he
is racing for the mound. A shout goes
up, a cheer in which both sides join.
The tall subaltern has jumped to his
feet, he has accepted the challenge, and
stands erect at the base of the mound.
awaiting the onrush of his diminutive
adversary. AS if by instinct the battle
in the vicinity accepts the trial by
champion.
The tall Russian lowers his guard,
and bows slightly. He will take no
mean advantage. The little Japanese
is quick to detect the courtesy i'm
piled, and, not to be outdone, incllnes
his head, and then they close In NOR
tai combat.
The blades flash high and low for a
moment; the clash of steel is audible
to both fighting lines. Then a murmur
goes up from the onlookers, blade has
been flung clear 1t Is the Russian
who is disarmed.
The subaltern springs back and then
closes upon his adversary with his
naked hands. Tokugawa, with the
agility of a squirrel, leaps sideways.
The two-handed sword of his fathers
is raised to strike, but no, the blow
never falls. Tokugawa filings his weap-
on from him. and then man to man
with naked hands the champions close.
BY some occult leverage. some subtle
science, Tokugawa filings his great OPP
ponent to the ground, and kneels upon
his chest. Again the cheer rings out.
The Russians join, for the magnanimi-
ty of the discarded sword has not es-
capped them.
Tokugawa jumps clear, and. extend
ing his hand, helps the Russian to his
feet. For a moment the two men
stand with hands clasped, then they
salute and turn. The cheer rises afresh
as they stride back to their respective
lines. A moments pause. The Jap
anese reinforcements have arrived and
with a mighty shout the Japanese adj

over his foolish softness. and became
silent. Ii was not often tat he talked
so much with his niece.
Six years before this, about half-past
nine one evening in the autumn of the
year 1880. George Sidcote, walking home,
found Mr.. Leighan lying in the middle Of
the road on Heytree Down. His pony
was grazing quietly beside him, and he
was lying on his back senseless, with an
ugly wound in his head, the scar of
which would never leave him. He had
fallen, apparently, from his pony. No
susicion of violence or robbery was en-
tertained; first, because no one ever
heard of violence at Challacombe, and
secondly, because he had not apparently
been robbed. So, at least, it seemed to
those who carried him home, for his peck
cts were full of money, and his watch
and chain had ACT been taAen.
For three days and three nights Daniel
Leighan lay speechless and senseless, and
but for a faint pulse he seemed dead.
When he recovered consciousness, the
first qustions he asked were concerning
a certain tin box containing papers which
he declared was hanging in a bag from
his neck. Now of that tin box no one
knew anything. Presently, when he
counted his money, he swore that he was
twenty pounds short.
