appeal of the eye which Mori had been unable
to fathom whenever his attention was caught by
it. Now he was too much occupied with his
thoughts to be more than disturbed by it. With
a gesture of Impotence he exclaimed abruptly:
'"Ihou, Jiro, walk a space behind me-"
Jiro fell back. In this wise they proceeded for
some minutes until Jiro perceived that Mort was
making signals to him. Jiro, quickening his step,
came nearer to the Prince.
"Jiro thou sluggard, hasten," called the Prince.
,Iiro made trembling haste.
Call a norimono at once, ordered his master.
Jro ran into an adjacent street. returning
shortly with the vehicle. at whose curtains he
stood waiting for his lord to enter. Keii's abb
sent glance fell upon the face of Jiro. 1t was
tear-stained. The eyes wore that strange express
sion of appeal which always touched certain emo
tions in the heart Of Mori, so that even in his
harshest mood he could never be otherwise than
gentle with the lad. Entering the palanquin he
drew Jiro in after him
For time they travelled in silence Jiro broke
it TO inquire very tiIndly:
Whittier do We go, my lord"
If Mori heard him he made no sign The
journey was continued in silence. AT the end
of what seemed to Jiro two full hours Mori dis
mounted from the carriage and babe the runners
wait for him. Jro saw that they were upon the
ridge of headland overlooking the bay at whose
head stood the Shogun's city of Yedo.
At a sign from Keiki the boy followed the
Prince down path leading to the shore below
AS they made their rough way along, Jiro saw
lights flashing out in the bay, and occasionally he
thought he heard the sound of oars.
great distance up the shore he saw men at
work upon little building facing the bay. They
were busily engaged by the light of abundant
torches The speed of Mort, however, permitted
the boy to take few observations Already his
breathing was heavy and labored in his attempt
to keep up with his master.
As they neared the water the curvature of the
shore hid the torch-lighted spot from view. With
sullen glance directed ahead of him, Mori kept
on until he stood almost at the edge of the wa.
ter, which in tapping, inky darkness glided and
twisted at his feet. Then with his chin resting
upon his arm, half reclining against giant bowl
der which, torn from the headland above had
ploughed grudging way hither, Keiki looked out
across the water.
1t was silent-a silence made impressive and &C
centuated by elemental sounds, the tapping O

through the air, met clashed their wings, turned,
trembled down. down Jiro could have shreked
aloud, could he have found voice.
Gradually, family, as the monotony Of the nat
ural sounds numbed his physical sense Of hearing,
Jiro found that new sense of appeal to his ear
was being made, of in the darkness. As they
reached his consciousness, with their unmistak-
able human origin strongly impressed, his fright
gave way. In its place came the calm Of nerves
raised to higher tension. It was now the creak-
ing of chains, the wooden friction Of oars, the
movements of men on board ship. All at once
lights cleaned forth. They defined by their fire.

unlike the smaller native boats plying in the
bay Other lights appeared in quick succession.
Soon the forms of four giant vessels we're indi
Gated rather than revealed
The foreignerl" said Jiro, under his breath.
Then high UP in the air, above the leading of
the four defined vessels, flashed variety Of col
ored lights. These were instantly answered from
the others. There was the rhythmic sound of
men at work upon some machine, the clatter of
chains at the bows, and the vessels moved nearer
TO the shore.
These maneuvers were partially understood by
Keiki. The lord Of that fleet, hitherto unseen by
any Japanese, was getting up his anchors and
drawing nearer to the shore, having sent out his
boats first to take proper soundings.
Every light below the deck line revealed an
open port, and every open, lighted port showed
gun sung shoreward The squadron's people
were to land the next day, but they were all Wig
lance in the mean time.
One by one the vessels moved to their new po-
stion. After an interval, the noise and move
ment seemed to cease about them. A light was
hoisted aloft on board the leading vessel. In
stantly every light disappeared from the ports,
and the blackness of the night again enveloped
their movements.
Mort turned towards the boy, noting curously
the spasmodic working of his features.
"What is it, Jiro?" he asked, kindly
ct is a strange civilization" said Jiro, in
choking voice.
Civilization" repeated Keik-"c civilization! /

The Shotgun ceased. Across his face there
shot a spasm Of acute pain. His breath came IN
gasps. Mori helped him TO regain his couch. lie

but / warn you that henceforth you will be

Keibi bowed profoundly but coldly.

taking.
As Mori retraced his steps through cross
streets he heard hestating footsteps behind him.
His sword flashed out. Running around an
angle in the street, he came upon slight figure.
''Who goes there" he shouted

Iyesada turned himself quickly upon his elbow,
while his eyes continued to scrutinize the other
keenly.

his cheek.

Iyesada frowned.

his feeling "do you intend to treat with these

''I could declare truce with you," said Mori

his glance the patient scorn of the man who sees
beyond his life.

IN company with cows and horses. In
Scotland also early in the last century pigs were
sometimes made to serve as chargers and proved
most docile mounts
The homing instinct is strongly developed in
the pig Instances not infrequenty occur of
pigs finding their way back to farms whence
they have been conveyed There is record OF
two pigs homing nine miles, and crossing the
Thames to boot, to their old farm, whence they
had been driven to Reading market and bought
by gentleman the previous day. At one
point on their homeward journey where two
roads met the twain were observed putting
their together as if in deep consultation
About 1915 a London gentleman created
sensation by driving a four-in-hand of pigs
through the streets; and 80 years later an old
farmer caused amusement to a great crowd in
the market place at st. Adams by entering it in
a chaise drawn by four trotting hogs
There have also been sporting pigs. An old
account of black SOW which Richard Toomer.
one of the royal keepers in the New Forest,
broke TO find game and to back and stand saws:
within fortnight she would find and point
partridges OF rabbits, and her training was much
| forwarded by the abundance Of both.
She daily improved, and in few weeks would
retrieve birds that had as well as the best
pointer; and her nose was superior to the best
pointer"
According to Linnaeus, "the hog is more nice
in the selection of his vegetable diet than any
of our other domesticated herbvorous animals"
Thus IN one respect the pig may be said to be
an epicure. Iinnaeus states that tho animal will
eat only ~ plants, as against the goats 440,
the sleeps 3S7, the cows 276 and the horse
262.

s@-S the dawn of history that country has

uIes OF almost incalculable value are possessed
by many Indian princes.
When the AIaharajah of Burdwan died the
stock of gold and silver left by him was so large
that no member of the family could make an
accurate estimate of it. A report made to the
British Government by a secret agent stated
that on one estate of the defunct potentate were
a number of treasure houses, one of them con
tanning three rooms. The largest Of these three
rooms AS feet long, and was filled with or
naments of gold and silver, plates and cups,
washing bowls, jugs and so forth-all of precious
metals. The other two rooms were full of bags
and boxes of gold mohurs and silver rupees The

IL il undoubtedly fact that many boards thus
