 "I?' cried Patricia in comical amaze ment. "Heavens and earth, I haven't learned it! I only know enough to badger the servants. You have to turn yourself inside out to think Japanese and then stand on your head to talk it.''
 "Never mind, Barbara said the bishop, looking up from his newspaper. "You can learn it if you insist on it. Haru would be capital teacher. Bless my soul, believe I forgot to tell you about her"
 "Who is HaruY' asked Barbara.
 "She's young Japanese girl, the daughter of the old samurai who sold us the land for the chapel. The fam fly is fine old one, but of frayed for tune. I was greatly interested in her, chiefly, perhaps, because she is Chris tian. She became so with her fathers consent, though he is Buddhist. She isn't of the servant class, of course, but I thought if you liked she would make an, ideal companion for you while you are learning Tokyo,
 'I know Haru," said Patricia She's a dear! She's as pretty as a picture, and her English is too quaintv'
 'It would be lovely to have her,"t Barbara answered. You're a very thoughtful man, Uncle Arthur"

CHAPTER III.
THE LAND OF THE GODS.

THE LAND OF THE 6OOS. rN the first touch of the shore,
 where the ambassadors pretty
 daughter waited, Barbara's prob
 lem had been swept away. Pa tricia had rushed to meet her, embrac- ed her, with a moist. ecstatic kiss on her cheek; rescued the bishop from his ordeal of handshaking and carried him off to find their trunks, leaving Barbara borne down by babel of sound and scent whose newness made her breathless.
 A dapper youth in European dress, with shining brown derby, a bright purple necktie. silver mounted cane and teeth eloquent of gold bridgework, slid into her hand card whose type proclaimed that MT. Y. Nakajima did the guiding for foreign ladies and gen. tlemans."
 The ricksha ride to the stenshun (for so the Japanese has adapted the English word "station') was moving panorama of strange high lights and shades, of savory odors from bake ovens, of open shop fronts hung with gaudy figured crape or piled with saf- iron biwa, warty purple melons. ebo- ny eggplant. shriveled yellow peppers and red Hokkaido apples, of weighted carts drawn by chanting half naked coolies and swiftly gliding victorias of Europeans.
 When the ricksha set them down at the station she felt bewildered. yet full of exhilaration. As they drew up at its stone front a porter with red cap and brass buttons emerged and began to ring heavy bell, Swinging it back and forth in both hands The bishop bought their tickets at little barred window bearing over 1t the sign, ''Your baggages will be sent freely in every direction
 They entered the car just behind an ample lady who had been among the ships passengers-a good .natured, vol uble Cooks tourist, who the second day out had confided to Barbara her cer- tainty of an invitation to the imperial Cherry Blossom party, as her husband had "a friend in the litigation" She wore painted muslin, and the hus- band of influential acquaintance, a sub stantial, red bearded person, showed now gleaming expanse of white waist coat crossed by gold watch chain that might have restrained a tiger. The lady nodded and smiled beamingly.
 The road was narrow gauge, and the seats ran the length of the car on either side. Hardly had its occupants settled themselves when, to the shrill piping of horn, the train started.
 Goodness, this is a reliefI' sighed Patricia as the bishop opened the first Japanese newspaper he had seen for many months. "I hate rickshas.

''You needn't be afraid of that" re- piled Daunt. 'I'll not come to lecture you. haven't set foot in the place for a month and probably shan't for a month to come Go up and try it anyway. Drop the bund and the races for little while and get grip on things"
 Phil looked away. A sudden mem ory came to him of a face he had seen in Tokyo at one of the matsuri or ward festivals-a girls face, oval and pen sive and with a smile like flash of sunlight. Her kimono had been all of holiday colors, and he had tried des- perately to pick acquaintance, with poor success A second time he had seen her, on the beach at Kamakura. Then she had worn kimono of rich brown, soft and clinging, and an obi stamped with yellow maple leaves and fastened with a little silver clasp in he shape of a f1refy. She was with a party of girls bent on frolic. They had discarded the white cleft tabi and clog and were splashing through the
 
 the foam on the perfect naked feet and below the lifted kimono and red petticoat the gleam of the white skin that is the dream of Japanese women. A flush crept over Phils face as he re- membered. He had had better success that time. She had dropped her swing ing clog, and he had rescued it and won a word of thanks and smile from her dark eyes. She herself had unbent little, but the girls with her were full of frolic, and the handsome foreigner was an adventure. He had discovered that she spoke English and lived in Tokyo, in the ward of the matsuri. But though he had strolled through that district score of times since he had not seen her again.
 You're not bad sort, Daunt," he said ''I don't know but I-will.''
 Good" said Daunt. sT'1l send chit to my caretaker the first thing in the

 Phil saw him cross the fragrant close to the gate with growing sheer. He had drawn on every available resource and had borrowed more than he liked to remember, but still his debts had grown. And now, with the coming of the white yacht, he saw a lowering danger to the allowance on which he abjectly depended. He knew his broth CT for one whom no plea could sway from determination, who on occa- sion could heW to the line with merci- less exactitude- Suppose he should cut off his allowance altogether! An ugly passion stole over his counte- nance. He sprang up, filled glass from the decanter and drank it thirst lily.

 On one of these fragrant byways, its . front looking out across the bay, stood a small bungalow which bore over it's gateway the dubious appellation 'The Roost." From it's inclosed piazza, over which a wistaria vine hung pale pend ants, twisted stair led to the roof, half of which was flat. This space was surrounded by balustrade and shaded by rounded gayly striped avn Ing. From this airy retreat the wa ter, far below, looked like a violet shawl edged with shimmering quick silver. and embroidered with fairy fish ing junk and sampan.
 Under the striped awning three men were grouped abo a miniature rou- lette table. A fourth, middle aged and of huge bulk, with a cynical, Semitic face from wide armchair was lazily peerihg through the 1eeey curdle of a Turkish cigarette. A fifth stood lean ing against the balustrade watching.
 The last was tall, clean cut and smooth shaven, with comedy head we'll set on broad shoulders and gray eyes, keen and alert. Possibly no one of the foreign colony (where secretary of embassy was by no means a rara avis) was better liked than Duke Daunt, even by those who never attempted to be sufficiently familiar with him to call him by the nickname which a characteristic manner had earned him in his salad days.
 At intervals player muttered an i'm patient exclamation or gave mono syllable order to the stolid Japanese servant who passed noiselessly, deftly replenishing glasses. Through all ran the droning buzz of bees in the wis tariH. the recurrent rustic of the metal wheel, the nervous click of the rolling marble and the shuttle and thud of the ivory disks on the green baize. All at oncesthe marble blundered into it's com pertinent, and one of the gamesters burst into a boisterous laugh of tri- umph.
 AsIth sudden discord tangled across the silence the big man in the arm chair started half round, his lips twitched and a spasm of something like fright crossed his face. The glass at his elbow was empty, but he raised it and drained air, while the ice in 1t tinkled and clinked. He set it down and wiped his lips with a half furive glance about him, but the curious agi- tation had apparently. been unnoted, and presently his face had once more regained it's speculative, slightly sar- donic expression.
 Suddenly a distant gun boomed the hour of sunset. At the same instant the marble ceased its cratic career, the wheel stuffed, and the youngest of the gaming trio and the master of the place. Philip Ware, a graceful, shape

HE SAID angrily into the garden below, crossed to table and poured out brandy and soda.
 Daunt's gray eyes had been looking at him steadily, little curiously. He had known him several years before at college. though the other had been in lower class than himself. But those intervening years had left their bale ful marks. At home Phil had stood only for loose habit, daring fad and Haunting mannerism-mileston of career as completely dissolute as consistent disregard of conventional
 moral thoroughfares could well make it. To Yokohama he was rapidly com- ing to be, in the eyes of the censori- ous, an example for we'll meaning youth to avoid, an incorrigible faneur, a purposeless idler on the primrose paths
 Better luck next time,' said one of the others lightly. "Come along, Lar ". We'll be off to the club"
 The older man rose to depart more deliberately. his great size becoming apparent. He was framed like wres- tier, abnormal width of shoulder and massive head giving an effect of weight which entrusted oddly with aquiline features in which was touch of the accipftrine, something fronic and sinister, like vulture. His eyes were dappled yellow and deep set and had peculiar expression of cold, untroubled regard. He crossed to tie farther side and looked down.
 What heightr' he said. "The whole harbor is laid out like checker board" He spoke in a tone curiously lead and lacking in timbre His Eng fish was perfect, with a trace of ac- cent

I wonder where they will anchor"
 The yeIlowish eyes had been gazing with an odd, intent glitter, and into the heavy, pallid face, turned away, had sprung sharp. evil lines that seem ed the shadows of some monstrous re- fection on which the mind had fed. Its sudden wicked vitality was in strange contrast to the toneless voice,
