was down to single pair of thick trousers, he came
home with purchase that caused his face to beam,
"a brand new, shiny whizzy electric fan, for
which he paid SO much month, which he hltched
to my meter. But Thomas said the sight of him
studying with his hair tossed by those instament
plan breezes enough to make one forget the
meter. He still paying for that fan when he
had the grip in December.
He loved to tell the children stories of his native
land, and Thomas and | soon found that our best

glorious deeds of old Japan, told by sturdy young
warrior whose soul was afame with conviction
ONCE, when his teacher asked for tale Of hero
in the air so wildly that she gave him the floor, as
she afterward told me- in order to keep him inside

so full of courage and love of country that when they
must give up life the died in heaven for sorrow
1t happened thus according to my Saxon
and Naki planned to creep into the camp of
cunning old Iyeyasu in order to avenge their ia
theirs death; but Iyeyasu had lived SO long that
when he spoke it as if the wise serpent had
taken speech. The design of the two brothers was
suspected and they captured on their way to the
camp; but 1yeyasu admirng their courage decreed to
embowelment at their hands before the altar of
monastery. The sentence pronounced upon the
tire male portion of the family, which included little
Hachmaro child of eight years. Henry despatched
the two older brothers rather summary but when it
came to killing Hachmaro his genius scared.
He asked the big brothers to go first because he
wanted to see how the job done and do it right,
said Henry. He didn't want tumble because he

gruesomely Henry indicated it, he drag dirk clear
to right side and more blood than out of Collar in
the Bible out of Hachimaro in that monastery"
With such savage relish and awful realism did Henry
describe the carnage that several OF the little girls
dropped their heads their desks and sobbed while
each little boy fastened his eyes Henry with express
sion as avid as hungry pussy watching plump bird.
The teacher tried to stop but was met by such
of protest that she decided that the least harmful
way to let him nish-and never never begin again.
RUT-aas!-more mischief than she had foreseen had
been done. When Henry, hero whose tide of popu-

of and before the school session began, awe
