The overland stage from Glasgow,
due at Linville at midnight, was about
to cross the Charlton river bridge
when masked man stepped from
behind some timbers, and, Ieveling a
gun at the driver, commanded him to
halt. The horses were stopped. The
experience was new one to the driv-
er, and he acted as though he wasn't
exactly clear as to what his obllga-
tions we're in the premises. Pending
the decision he did nothing. The pas
sengers peered out the windows, and
asked what was the matter Il was
q moonlight night and the highway
man and his gun stood cut clear. The
passengers were ordered to get out
and line up on the roadside. A man
in uniform got out Of the opposite
door Of the vehicle and went around
behind 1t. He had something In his
hand that sparkled in the moonlight.
The highwayman did not sea him.
The other passengers obeyed instruc-
tions. The driver also got out of his
box and stood In the line with hands
uplifted. The robber stepped back a
little to inspect the lineup critically.
The man in the uniform leveled his
revolver and fired The knight Of the
road turned two startled eyes In that
direction, whirled around and fell to
the ground. The man in the uniform
went to the body, revolver In hand.

said. Lucky was along"
All voiced approval. The highway.
man was not dead, and they put him
on top Of the stage. none too gently,
and proceeded. The man IN uniform
was congratulated by everybody, and
stood the homage with dignity, as be-
comes a man above the common run.
The wounded outlaw was taken to a
doctors house. and a curious crowd
followed in. When the black mask
was removed from his eyes there

townspeople It was Vinton's printer.
There would have been talk Of a
lynching had not the death bullet done

from the lips Of the excited spectators.
It was a case Of the viper warmed in
the kind mans bosom, they said. His
evil looks had been mentally noted,
some remarked. but they said they
had never liked to mention it owing
to respect for Vinton's feelings.
When Vinton arrived the dying man
turned to him and whispered:

Etsu had oome-St Ives hrmly be-

Her entrance was characteristic.
The artist, idly sketchlng his thou

to perceive a small, gorgeous figure
wrapped in sinuous folds Of gray and
cherry silk, bowed in mock humility
at his very feet.

"Jes me, mos, high nightiness:

silk bundle before him. The shining
black coils Of hair rose from their
humble position to disclose a fresh.
girlish face, daintily red as to lips
immobile as bronze
This, then, was no gift from the
gods, but commercial transaction!
All the artist in st. Ives nature rose
to the quaint colorful little lady.
Etsu, taking stupefaction for &C.
quiescence, lifted bundle Of costumes
from the floor and pattered toward the
dressing room.
In second she was back. Instead
OF the cherry blossom silk she was
swathed in a heavy kimono whose
midnight luster was glorified by gold
en- storks gravely reposing on one leg
against background Of perpetually
rising suns
"Etsu YER fine lady Of mikados
court" she said proudly. making
deep genufection
st. Ives eyes took in greedily the
1.-THE figure, the small, fiower-like face
and heavy coils Of scented hair. He
stared till the "ver fine lady" became
disturbed; she dropped to the floor
in pretty attitude and with childish
dignity and directness said: Lady

tist please to paintl'
And 50, from day to day, st. Ives
reveled In color.
Etsu had been posing for him for
two weeks, and the studio. with It's
litter Of East Indian bric-a-brac, ugly
Chinese idols, and rare tapestries, was
permeated with the faint fragrance
that clung to her hnonos
To-day Etsu had arrived at the stu
dio early. When he inserted his own
latch key, strange, eerie murmuring
reached his ears, and as he threw
wide the door he beheld Etsu prone
on her face before an image Of Bud
dha he had picked up in the orient.
She was praying softly and rapidly.

Gone was the childlike naiyete and
impenetrable calm Of the little Japan
ese model A strange exaltation
breathed from every fold OF her ailken
garments, and she hurriedly tucked
her tiny fag-the emblem Of Japan
into her sleeve as she mounted the
models throne

Yes, august highness!" replied Et-
gu: "the sacred one has spoksn-hap-
py they who can obey!"
She was strangely anxious to be
gone-the days work was spoiled and
st. Ives released her.
Lifting curtain that concealed an
old cabinet to get Etsu's customary
fee, he stood appalled, The cabinet
had been forced open, papers and color
tubes lay all about, but every penny
the cabinet held had vanished!
Gone, too, was Etsu, and without
the bit Of silver for which she always
waited.
In an instant st. Ives was half way
down the stairs; a second and he
gained the street. There, like an ami.
mated water color, was Etsa, two
blocks sway.
Etsu melted into narrow doorway
Of Chinatown. and still he followed
Almost at the threshold Of an inner
room she was met by a slender young
Japanese equipped for a journey.

Quick. quick; the son Of heaven

Here, Hojo!' She pressed a hand
ful Of loose bills into his outstretohed
hand. "Kawannon guard you and
bring a glorious death"
Jostling ST. Ives in the dark massage
Hojo rushed forth-from her he loved
to the great red death of a Japanese
soldier who falls in battle fighting for
the emperor.
But Etsu, for whom there remained
only the small white death OF women
and children, drew from her silken
sleeve a small vial and drank deep.
The pungent scent Of peach kernels
filled the air
And ST. Ives staggered out into the
sunlight to gaze with horrined eyes
on the long streamers of "Banzai"
and picturesque japanese flags that
fluttered in an alien breeze.
