Then he looked into her face and saw
that she was calm enough to listen to
him. but he was silent for a moment yet.
It was SO hard not to tell her all that
was in his heart, not to speak Of the great
love that he felt for her. But that must
not be now; the instructive delicacy of his
race made him put his own feelings aside

taken the edge off her desolation, and al

"Then will reach 1t in the evening" !"
he replied stubbornly. "for will not go

Nothing would remove him from that.
He came to sudden standstilf when he
caught sight of the cottage at last. There
was something unusual about the aspect
of the place. The screens were pushed
aside, and he saw two peasants in their
working clothes standing in the veranda
as he came nearer they turned to look
at him and he knew that something had
happened. for their faces were grave and
frightened.

made them shake their heads.

Then Kamoyo came toward them. She
had walked fast up the hill and was out
of breath and terribly concerned, for she
was fond Of the little maid.
lima went forward to meet her, and
told her briefly what had happened. You
will take care Of her. will you not?" he
pleaded. "and by and by, please. please
tell her that will come back and marry

happy. Do not forget. dear Kamoyo San.
whatever happens, I will come back for
her some day. And all good fortune to
you, health and good luck in your house!,
Goodbye, goodbye! Be sure to tell her!"
Hama was ashamed Of her unrestrained
hour, when once more the sun was drop
ping behind the hills, a new peace came
over her, and she was very still. The
cottage in its emptiness seemed already
far too large, but she felt her dear old
grandfather's presence in some strange
way as she had not felt it when he was
lying so cold and deaf and stark. with
folded hands and straight-drawn gar
ments before her eyes,

lend you, and we will shut up the house
and get down to the village before dark .
Kamoyo pressed Hana's hand kindly.
You shall come back the first thing In
the morning If you like" she said.
Now the light comes early in the hills.
and by o'clock it was whitening the
little openings under the caves which
were not covered by the wooden shut
ters. Hama SAT- up and looked round her
in the unfamiliar room. A great longing
for her home came upon her and she rose
noiselessly. dressed herself and rolled her
blue bedding into q tidy bundle in one
corner. 1t would be graceless return for
hospitality to waken her kind hosts or to
leave the house open for Kamoyo's stores
to be rifed, but she thought she could
slip out by the earthquake door and close
it again without disturbing any one. The
air. was hot and close in tho crowded
house and she was longing for her herr

gently, carrying her little clogs in her

been reading his letter slowly and labori-

hands, and his face was pale.
What has happened?" queried Kamoyo
In alarm.
"They have come to call out the levy Of
my year!" he gasped. II had forgotten
the conscription!" Then he hid his face
in his hands for a moment and was quite
silent.
