rInes with their officers. In the centre was the
Commodore Perry, with his staff. Following
were more marines and officers.
AS this array proceeded in the quick, sharp,
uniform step peculiar TO disciplined bodies, there
were no shouts of applause, no encouraging
cheers, no uncovering Of heads, no clapping Of
hands. The silent multitudes regarded them sui
leny, expectantly, fearfully.
"Gadl' exclaimed young lieutenant, they
don't take to us. This is no Fifth Avenue pa
rsde"
''No, IL is not. More like action" mumbled his
companion.
When the officers came within sight Of the
entrance and saw. the columns hostiely arranged,
there was movement Of alarm. But quickly the
dual force of Catzu and Adzu spread out to per-
init passage through itself.
The Americans gave an order. Their band
went suddenly to the rear, its place taken by a
body of marines, who moved until their head
rested upon the door Of entrance. They in turn
opened way for the division at whose head
marched the chief officer. With arms at ''pre-
sent" they stood. awaiting its approach.
AT the head Of the division now advancing un-
der the colors and backed by minor officers,
strobe a commanding figure. II was that of a
fullbodied, ruddy, stern-featured man, in whose
every poise Of body and head was command. He
was bareheaded About his temples the breeze
from the bay scattered his short, slightly gray
hair.
The sight Of the Japanese army in it's menac-
ing position facing the multitudes, may have
carried alarm to his soul 1t had been instantly
met by his counter arrayng Of marines; but
there no fear manifest in face, gait, or man
ner. Without pause he entered quickly the au-
diencehall, followed by his officers Turning his
head to neither side, he seated himself in a chair
similar in respect and position to those occupied
by the commissioners.
There was a pause, momentary embarrass-
ment was felt by all present. Then the Amer
| ican commodore summoned the Dutch interpreter,
through whom the conversation was to take
place.
'Inform them," he said, "that have some
questions to ask"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-04

What explanation can you offer Of thisf" de-
manded Perry.
The Lord Catzu lifted hie eyebrows
Explanation! I do not explain it. Ihey
were tanatical priests, madmen, who thought
that the head of the church should take
over the direction Of the State. YOU have such
in your own countryY
The American was not satisfied with this
statement. The interpreter informed the com
missioners of this fact. Said the Lord Catzu:
IF you do not believe me, l shall, with the
concurrence Of my colleague, be obliged TO de-
clare all proceedings stopped. cannot continue
under such circumstances"
The American saw thus slipping from him the
rewards of the labor Of months. He might be
making mistake but he must proceed at once.
II am ready to continue" he said.
Very well. You may deliver your letters to
the Emperor of Japan" responded Catzu, with
great dignity
AT a sign from Perry, two cabin.boys who had
remained in the ante-chamber came up the CEN
tral aisle, closely followed by two huge negroes
in marine dress. The boys carried silver and
gold salvers, upon which rested the richly set
gold boxes containing the documents signed by
Nillard Fillmore, President of the United States
Of America, asking consideration Of treaty for
open ports.
As the boys reached the red-lacquered box at
the head of the hall they stood upon either side,
while the negroes stopped between them. Lift
ing the letter receptacles from the savers, the
negroes deposited them in the red chest Indicated
by an aide of Catzu. This done, they retreated
down the aisle.
"All is now done," said Catzu. "Permit me
to inquire when your excellency will return for
an answer"
'In some months time," was Perry's thought
full reply.
1--WE need not detain you longer" said the
commissioner Permit us to express our graft
fcation at meeting you and our compliments for
your courtesy"
The American commodore acknowledged the
deep obesance with which the commissioners
and their staffs now favored him with a bow
as courtly and dignifed as their own.

Several of the Dutchman's translations had

'T assure you, my Lord Admiral" said Catzu
THAT you have fallen into an error common to
foreigners 80
Possibly" was Perry's brief assent.
We have two heads, one font of wisdom
the other of action. The one is the spiritual
head, the divine EMPEROR the other the true
ruler and Emperor, with whom You are in com.
munication. The spiritual head is without au
thority in mundane affairs You make no error
for we, the princes of Japans real ruler tell you
this"
Despite every attempted restraint of Toro
Jiro leaped to his feet
"Thou liesti Thou knowest there is but one
true ruler in Japan, the Mikadoi" he shouted
in voice that, rapidly ascending in pitch, be-
came femininely shrill.
Every eye in the assembly, foreign and Japan
ese, turned upon the slight, quivering figure
there by the breeze-swept opening. The Lord

into seed, and ended by multiplying itself into
international form. No sooner had two sea-
ports been opened through signature of the
treaty passed by Perry than the English sought
and obtained the same privileges. Other nations
followed the leaders in timeliness. differing as to
their national equation.
During all this time Mori had remained in
Yedo watching the course of events, and the
gradual rise in prestige of the already powerful
shogunate.
The policy advocatedR by Mori was the same
outlined by him in his act of instruction to Jiro
when he had babe the boy explain to the foreign
ers the true conditions of government The
sboounate must be embroiled with the foreign
powers in such way that retaliation of the
world powers would fall upon the shogunate
alone, destroying it, while at leap the Imperial
party would return to power upon an anti-Sho-
gun basis This policy he was foremost in press
ING upon other leaders of his party, but without
avail. The drift of events was too uncertain
to permit civil war at this time, his compatriots
asserted
Toro and Jiro did not share the Yedo vigil
of Mori. When, upon the evening of the Treaty
House assemblage, Genji had brought them to
Keiki's headquarters, the Prince had received
them as from the grasp of death. The task he
had set them, he knew, meant risk of death,
hut even a samurai of lesser rank would have
welcomed death decreed by the cause He had
given them IN as memories OF the past when the
Great Geni brought them before him.
'My prince" Genji had said, II have ever

you two prisoners. committed to my hands by
the Lord of Catzu."

Without word the Satsuma samurai drew
his second sword from his belt The hilt he rest
ed upon the ground. In an instant he fell upon
its point.
The ronins left the vicinity of the palace. car
rying the head Of Ii with them. This they nailed
to post in public place of the city.
In short time, from the newly established
foreign quarter Of Yedo, flames leaped forth in
destruction of the legations Many foreigners
found Japanese graves that night.
Yet, strange inconsistency the ronns, still
under the direction Of Hasuda, went about every
where, crying: Down with the foreigners
Long live the Shoguni"
Those foreigners who escaped believed that the

At the hour Of dawn Hasuda wiped his sword

statue, his arm still held aloft in the concud-
ing gesture he had used moment before. The
Prince of Aidzu remained in his chair, seemingly
incapable of motion. The American Perry alone
preserved his composure, looking from one to the
other in a puzzled effort to determine the mean
ing of this interruption
The silence within the hall deepened as the
startled gaze of the assemblage continued fixed
upon Jiro. So still was it that the voices of the
samurai outside seemed annoyingly loud, as they
hoated into the quiet apartment.
There was long moment of this stunned, be-
wildered yet intense stiffness. 1t was broken
by Toro, who, ashamed Of having been outdone
in daring by his sghter companion threw him
self convulsively into the focus of the company.
'Thou, my Lord of Catzu," he shouted-"thou
knowest that the youth speaks truth. Banzai
the Milado! Banzai Npponi"
Another sensational moment! The samurai
Genii had placed himself nearer to the two.
The Lord of Catzu broke the spell of wonder

der of the youth. Back to the opening he drew
them. :.
"They are in my custody, my lord" he an
swered.
While the samurai drew the struggling com
rades into the outer air, there was the quick
hum Of voices over the assemblage that mo-
ment before had seemed as stone. Neighbor con-
yersed with neighbor, the japanese in consterna,
ton, the Americans in wonder.
The interpreter rapidly translated to the
American officer the words that had passed be-
tween the commissioner and his interrupters
Some of the Americans caught at the drift OF
events even before their comrades sitting neaI
to the interpreter understood the Dutchman'I
statements to their commander.

A Pleasure to Be Lost.

Some time g it was reported that
Mr.. Rockefeller was lost. Although the
members of his family didn't exhibit
any specia! or put a want ad.
IN the papers "l.ost-One multimillion-
aire: finder please return and receive
reward" yet several of the special cor
respondents did not think they were not
doing their duty to society unless they
threw a couple of conniption fits.
The average man could think Of moth
Ing more delightful than being lost
with Mir. iockefeller's roll, and he
wouldn't take any particular pains to
report the case to the police until he
had made it look thinner than the
neighbors had seen it looking for some
time.
When the maj who is lost can buy
the first town that he comes to, so that
he may ut once feel ut home, the aver
age man will not waste much sympathy
on him.

The Twin Destrovers.

Football will have to get busy, for
its chief rival in making the human
race look like high grade sausage-the
automobile-has been busy all summer
and has been making a showing that
will be hard to equal.
That is where football is handicap
ped. The season is so short for it that
It must work overtime unless it wants
to come in at the finish very much dis
couraged and disgraced.
What Il tremendous disadvantage our
heroic forefathers labored under. When
they got Il notion that the world was
in danger Of overpopulation and want
ed to do some skillful thinning they
were obliged to get out with a club or
a battleax and hack away.
We have reduced the thing more to a
science. With the base football a
for short but effective work and the
automobile for the long pull we have
the problem solved, although Fourth of.
July does help out some.
