FROM OTHER PENS
JAPAN DESIRES PEACE.

There are many reasons why there
should be peace between the United
States and JAPAN. My country shares
with her sister nations in the desire for
universal peace Thave made the state
ment before, and I repeat it here with
even more emphasis The glory of a
successful war is brilliant, but the glory
of peace is greater. AT the reception
given to Gen. Baron Kuroki in New
York city 1 was Yerysmuch pleased with
the cordial welcome given to the sons
of Japan by the citizens of that great
metropolis. 1 felt however, still greater
satisfaction when stopped to think that
the Respondent martial uniforms of the
two countries were intermingling with
each other in a mission Of peace with
out any thought of war, and that the
brave men who have been SO honored
at home and respected abroad were
singing in one chorus the glory of peace
The same thoughts came over me when
/ attended the brilliant and most hos
pitabIe reception rendered by the same
great city to Admiral Yamamoto. 1 am
also pleased that a society-the Jap
anese Society of New York-has been
formed to promote and increase the
friendly relations existing between my
country and the United States of Amer

AS the girl neared Glenister's cabin
she was disappointed at seeing no light

only to utter n half strangled cry as
two men stepped out of the gloom and
seized her roughly. Something cold
and hard was thrust violently against

Mcnamara had ridden in from the

with the judge. He had asked for her,
but ON hearing the tale Of the nights
adventure would not allow her to be
disturbed. Later he and the judge
had gone away together.
Although her Judgment approved the
step she had contemplated the night
before, still the girl now felt strange
reluctance to meet Mcnamara. 1t Is
true that she knew no Ill of him except
