ct the next stop, and re urned with
some little boxes containing rice
cooked to a paste, bits of chicken and
preserved lily root. A pair of chop
sticks was lied to .acn box, and the
girl, with much childish laughter,
taught him to use them, clapping her
little hands approvingly wnen he at
last succeeded in conveying a NOR
sci of food to his mouth.
BY means Of these chop-stick Lea
sons, they arrived at a state of such
mutual confidence that Hardy was
able to dispense with the assistance
of the guide. They got great amuse-
ment out of trying to make each
other understand by means Of signs,
Hardy, for instance. wrote his name
on card and pronounced it several
times, pointing to himself. She under
stood and made great difficulty of re-
peating his name. She succeeded at
last, almost, and the strange words
sounded so funny to her that she
laughed merrily. When night came on.

cd left the compartment for the
womens quarters and Hardy and
Neville lay down on the benches,
which ran around the sides of the car
like the seats in Turkish house, in.
stead of across it.
Before Aisome retired she served
the tea again, Of which Neville drank
copiously, which, in Hardy's eyes, was
another proof of his British extrac-
ton.
They all slept soundly, but the
American was troubled with an I'M
pleasant dream during the night
"It amounted almost to night
mare" he explained to Neville. Il
thought that Aisome came in with two
Japanese and tney searched US as If
we had been thieves. Aisome was
still beautiful but she did not look
childish any more. was positively
afraid of her in my dream. The girl
held the lantern and spoke once or
twice, sharp and quick, as if giving
commands. Her eyes were hard aud
eager like those of ferret. l could
feel the mans hand running rapidly
over my person, goig into my pockets,
crumpling up my shirt. They opened

Then they all stole out again, closing

The Englishman did not appear
greatly perturbed. yet he went care

after he had finished:

opposite, very slowly"
Hardy glanced at the girl as he said
these words. She was looking past him
out of the window, and slightly I'M
comfortable feeling, that she must, by
instinct, divine that they were talking
about her, vanished from his mind.
Her eyes, which were not black exact
ly, for black Is dead lightless color,
were fixed with interest on the NOV
| ing panorama seen through the car
window, and she seemed entirely
| livious OF the other occupants OF the
compartment. Masatsura and Mr.. Sano
were at the other end all this time
volubly discussing some subject or
other in their own tongue.
At the next station an official OF the
railroad company entered with hot
water and tea leaves. He put some OF
the leaves into the pot standing on the
| table, in the center of the carriage,
turned in the water and took his de-
parture. After the tea had stepped a
few moments, the girl poured it into
cups and offered it to the men. Hardy
decided that he had never seen a
more modest and charming smile.

breeding?" he asked Neville There's

on the stair and commenced to take
off his shoes. By good fortune, he
found himself sitting side by side with
Aisone. He had certainly, he thought,
never seen anything so dainty as her
little foot. In its yellow silk stocking,
it reminded him of the petal of some
flower. She had great difficulty in
finding slipper small enough, and
there was positively none large
enough for Hardy, who managed, how
ever, to stick his toes into a pair too
small for him. He pointed to her feet
and then to his own and measured off
in the air two lengths, exaggerating
the largeness of his own foot and the
smallness of hers. She laughed and
he experienced feeling of comrade-
ship with this tiny creature, with
whom he could not talk a word, rs if
she were, in fact, "a good fellow"
They ell started UP the steps to-
gether, but Neville was detained. He
had refused holly to take off his shoes.
"But, sir, it is the custom Of the
country" explained Masatsura defer
entially.

"They aren't quite human, you
know" he said. 'Englsshmen think
they lose caste when dine with coolies
and SO they don't do it, don't you
know"
We'll, we shan't lose any caste by
dining with this little woman" replied
Hardy warmly, ANY more than if
we were to dine with the Queen Of
Fairy-lapd. Personally, shall feel
honored to sit at the same table with
SO much grace and beauty We shan't
need bouquet with her there. Really,
consider her about as rare AMI ex-
quisite feminine creation as l have
ever seen. and shall think you mean
t. be disagreeable, if you do not show
more respect for my feelings in the
matter"
ooh, all right" growled Neville;
but he could not help adding: Most
fellows feel as you do when they first
come to this bally country"
The girl stood little behind her
father, with her hands lost in her
voluminous sleeves as in muff, and
her eyes cast modestly down. AS the
men talked. she glanced up at them
with the uncomprehending look of one
who hears an unknown tongue. When
the invitation to dine was explained
to her, her eyes sought those Of her
father inquiringly. He nodded and
smiled and she clapped her hands
gaily.
Together they entered the lower
room of the restaurant, which was
simply large barn-like compartment,
floored with rough boards. At the foot
of the stairway there were numerous
pairs of slippers, of all shapes and
Sizes. Masatsura explained that they

She pursed UP her pretty mouth and
opened her eyes in wonder, comment
ing:
That was bad dream, but it is
better to dream bad things than to
have them really happen"
Strangely enough, Aisome's face, as
he had seen it by night, kept haunt

partition became confused with the
'sweeter and more innocent features
at which ne was now gazing,
