Beyond this rose a messy hillock, up whose green sides clambered an irreg- ular pathway set with tall Shinto lan- terms and large stones, like gigantic many colored quartz pebbles. Here and there the flushed pink of cherry trees made the sky tapestry of blue rose, and in the hollows grew bur- nished purple shrub that seemed to be powdering the ground with the velvet petals of pansies.

 Barbara had seen many photographs of Japanese gardens, but they had ei- ther lacked color or been overtinted. This lay chromatic, visualized, braided with precious hues and steeped in the tender, unshamed glories of a tropic spring. For a moment she shut her eyes to fix the picture forever on her brain.
 She opened them again to a flood of sunlight on the gilded carvings of the ancient structure. It's shoji had been noiselessly drawn open, and a man stood there looking fixedly at her.
 It was the man she had seen that morning at the entrance to the little park. .
 Barbara realized instantly and un- easily that she was an intruder. yet she felt an intense interest, mixed of what she had heard and. of what she had imagined, His outre street costume had now been laid aside He wore Japanese dress with dark gray houri and white cleft sock. His iron gray head was bare. The expression of his face was conscious and alert, with a sort of savage shyness.
 I am afraid am intruding," she said. 'I ought to have known the garden was private"

CHAPTER xI.
THE TREsPASSER.

@OR few moments! after his de
 parture Barbara stood listening
 to the dulled sound of the workmen's tools. The roof of the temple opposite had a curving Tartar-like ridge, at either end of which was huge fish, its head point ed inward, its wide forkSd tail twist ed high in air. Under its scalloped caves she saw the flash of a swallow, and far above a gaudy paper kite ca- reened in the blue.
 She crossed the lane and looked into the shady inclosure, where the bronze lanterns and the tombstones stood as gray and lichened as the stone be- meath her feet. Before many of the graves stood green bamboo vases hold ing punches of fresh leaves. An old woman was moving noiselessly about, watering these with a long bamboo dipper and lighting incense sticks as she went. In one place young man knelt before an ancestral monument softly clapping his hands in prayer The whole place was drenched in tone limpid and serene, the very infu sion of peace. Only in the black tenn pie interior she caught the dim glow of candles. and somewhere a mufhed baton was tapping on hollow wood: "Min-Min-- Min - Min - Min-Min - Min Min Min -Minminmin minmin-'' at first slowly. theI

faster and faster till the notes merged and died away in a muttering roll, to begin once more with the slowness of a leisurely metronOme.
 The ornate front of the building on the right of the yard attracted her, and she went nearer. Beyond the hedge she could see a portion of its garden. Refecting that this was temple prop erty and hence no doubt open to the public, she unlatched its bamboo gate and entered.
 Before her curved line of flat step ping stones set in clean gray gravel. On one side was a low camelia hedge spotted with blossoms of deep crimson

''She believes he died before her moth. CT left Japan" He paused before the window, his back to the other. "He was my friend" he said, land loved him. I gave my sister to him, and she loved him too.''
 'I remember" said the archbishop slowly. ''She went back to America from Nagasaki. How strange 1t was! She never told any one why she left himY'
 "Never a word. She died before ] went to America again. She left me a letter which hinted at something wholly unforgivable, almost satanic it must have seemed to her."

 His ways are past finding out ' he said at length. 'I am conscious sometimes of a hidden purpose in things. The daughters memory o1 her father is beautiful thing. Let us not destroy it."
 The bishop and the ambassador when the formers call was ended that afternoon found Barbara with Haru in the garden pagoda. She sat on its wide ledge, Harus at her feet in g dainty kimono of pale gray cotton crape with a woven pattern of plum blossoms. The oval Japanese face showed no trace now of the passionate anger with which she had fled from Phil's kisses. If it had left a trace the trace was hidden under the racial mask that habitually glosses the sur face of oriental feeling.
 Barbara had fallen in love witt Haru's piquant personality, with hel fragile loveliness. her quaint phrasing her utter desire to please. While Pa tricia deepened her engaging freckles on the tennis court she had made the Japanese girl bring her samisen and play. Afterward Haru in her pretty broken English had told her stories old legends that are embalmed in the Geisha dances, of the forty ronir

TAIsHOP RANDOLPH lived in the quarter of Tokyo called
 Ts'kiji, section of made
 ground" in the bay composed, as the ancient vestry jest had it, of Hat and low, and its inner canal in the old days had formed the boundary of the extraterritorial district given over by a reluctant government to the residence of foreigners.
 It was q mile from the great double moated park of the imperial palace, from the diet and the foreign office, whither scarcely generation ago rep resentatives of European powers had guard against swashbuckling 1.-two sword. men," The streets, however, Nn which once an American secretary of legation so spurring had been cut in two by a single stroke of thirst ing samurai sword were peaceful enough in this era of Meiji. The cathedral, the college, the low brown hospital and the lines of red brick mission houses stood on grassy lawns Q601QO kIcSu ucuSCS WAIGA gave a suggestion of a quiet English village. A couple of the smaller legations still chung to their ancient sites, and the quarter boasted besides score of am- bilious European residences and a modern hotel.
 In the rectory the bishop sat at tifln with tee archbishop of the Rus sian cathedral, a man of seventy eight, gray bearded and patriarchal, another St Francis Xavier In this foreign field the pair had been friends during more than a score of years Goth were equally broad minded, had long ago thrown down the sectariar bafr1ers too apt to prevail in less re otxicted communities. To a large ex tent they were confidants.

 The women they had passed looked back curiously at the foreigner walk ing with her. One, girl of Haru's own age, called smifingly after her: H ssKomban Mukojima de sho" Phil Understood the query. Was she going to Mukojima-to the cherry festival l- tonight? His eyes sparkled at the toss a back "Haip, We'll, he would be there too. sHe had appreciated the quick wit Of her sxlter1age he EcIever little baggage! She was not such a small brown saint after all!
 sT think I did that rather weH," he oaid when they had passed out of ear shot. They'll think your honorable parent and I exchange New Years Gifts at the very least.'
 A little smile of irrepressible fun was lurking under Haru's flush: teYou have ask how is Papa-San rhu-ma-tis- dm," she said. "In our street he have nome large fame, for because he so old and no have got"
 Phil laughed aloud. Look here, lit tIe Haru," he said, '.you and I are go- Y ing to be great friends, aren't wei" He looked down at the slim, nervous arm, so .seft. and firm of flesh, so de M Hciously turned and modelled. He knew a jade bracelet in Yokohama that would nightly become it. He would write tonight and have it sent ID. "When can I see you again. eh?'' s1dy no can tell," she answered. "No come more far. My house very near now"
 He caught her hand. It was almost os small as chld's with Its delicate wrist and slender fingers. "Give me a kiss and I will let you go." he said.
 As she shrank back indignantly against the palings, her free hand fIung across her face, he threw his arms about her and strained her to him. She wrestled against him with little inarticuiate .sobs,. but he lifted her face. and kissed her again and ' again. e7--f-..-. -.sf...7 1a
 He released her, breathing hard, the veins in his temples throbbing, his lips burning hot. He stood moment look ing after her as, white faced and breathless, she fled down the bamboo lane.

 As they entered the library a wrin- kled house servant sucked in his breath behind them.
 twill the thrice eminent guest deign to partake of little worthless tobac- co?' he inquired in the ceremonious honoriAcs of the vernacular.
 The thrice eminent shook his head. and the bishop answered: Honorable thanks, Honda-San. Our guest au gustly does not smoke"
 At the table they had been talking of the great dream of both-the Chris. tianization of modern Japan. The archbishop continued the conversation now:
 "As I was saying, the great stum. bling block is the language. 1t is all right for you and me; who have had twenty years at it, but our helpers haven't His code of courtesy forbids 0 Japanese to seem to, correct even when we are absurdly wrong. One o1 my boys"-so the bishop affectionately referred to his younger coadjutors- twas preaching the other day on The Spiritual Attributes of Mankind He meant to use the word ningen-man ir the wide sense. He preached. he thought, with good deal of success The people seemed particularly grave and attentive. Afterward he asked an old Japanese what he thought oi the subject. The man replied that he had felt much instructed to find there were so many things to be said about it. He added that. he himself general ly ate them boiled Ny young mar had used the word ninjin-carrots aThe Spiritual Attributes of Carrots! And a whole sermon on it! Imagine itr'
 The archbishop threw back his head and laughed. Then the conversation drifted again into the serious. "O1 course" said the bishop, there is a bottom the oriental inability to sep arate racial traits, to realize that Chris tianity has made Christendom's glo ries, not her shames. The Japanes, are essentially a spiritually minded people. Some of the vests mos common vices they are strangely with out, and their code of everyday morals well, we can throw very few stone' at them there"
 The archbishop nodded.
 By the way" he said presently changing the subject, q passed you new chapel the other day. It is very handsome. Your niece, I think yor told me, built it. May ask"-
 "Yes," said the host, 'it is my dead sisters child, Barbara, John Fair fax's daughter"
 A look passed between them, and the bishop rose and paced up ant down, habit when he was deeply moved. 'She came back to JapaI with me-" he continued. '1 am tt take her to see the chapel this after noon. Yesterday she told me she in
