 ~HE day had been sluggish with H the promise of summer, but
 the failing afternoon had
 brought a soft suSpira ton from the broad bosom of the Pacific laden with refreshing coolness. Along the bund. however. there was little stir. 4 few blocks away the for eign dive quarter was drowsing, and only single samisen twangled in Hep GOon's saloon. where sailors of doz- en nationalities spent their wages while in port. At the curbing, under the telegraph poles, the chattering ricksha coOlies squatted, playing Go with fiat stones on square scratched with a pointed stick in the hard beat en ground. On the spotless mats be- hind their paper shoji the curio mer- chants sat on their gaudy wadded cushions, while over the glowing fire bowls of charcoal in the inner rooms their wives cooked the rice for the early evening meal. The office of the Grand hotel was quiet Only hand ful of loungers gossiped at the bar, and the last young lady tourist had finished her irritation on the terrace and retired to the comfort of a stay less kimono. Tn the deep foliage of the "Bluff'' the slanting sunlight caught and quivered till the green mole seemed mighty beryl, and in its hedge shaded lanes, dreamy as those of an English village, the clear air was pungent with tropic blooms.

 shoulders. Here and there an orange "blazer'' made a vivid splash of color, and groups in white fannels sprawled beneath the trees under the perfumed haze of brierwood pipes that mingled with the nearby scent of roses. From one of the balconies of the ivied dor mitories that faced the green came the mellow tinKle of mandolin and the sound of clear tenor:
 "Of all the girls that are so smart
 There's none, like pretty Sally.
 She is the darling of my heart'-
 The groups about her had fallen si. lent. Only one voice had said, That's Duke Daunt." Then the melody sud denly broke queerly and stopped, and the man who had spoken got up quick ly and said: I'm going in. It's time to dress anyway" And somehow his voice had seemed to break Queerly too.
 Duke Daunt! The scene shifted into the next day, when she had met him for a handful of delirious moments. For how long afterward had he re- mained her childish idol! Time had overlaid thee memory. but it started bright now at the sound of that whis- tied tune.
 Her uncles voice recalled her. He was handing her his binoculars. She took them, chose "a spot well forward and glued her eyes to the glass.
 Nearer, nearer yet, the ship drew on till there came to meet it two curved arms of breakwater, a miniature light house at each side. Barbara lowered the glass. from her eyes. The slow swinging of the vessel to the anchor had brought dazzling bulk between her gaze and the shore perilOusly near. She saw it now in its proper perspec- tive-a trim steam yacht painted white, with a rakish air of speed and tauntness, the sun glinting from its polished brass fittings. It Say there, graceful and light, sharp, clean con- trast to the gray and yellow junk and grotesque sampan, a disdainful swan amid a noisy flock of teal and nallard.
 Adjusting the focus, Barbara looked. A man in naval uniform who had OCdI0C0 lAC SAlp uudA dAIIAC was pointing out the yacht to passenger, and Barbara caught crisp bits of sen- tences: "You see the patches of green? They're decorations for the squadron that's due tomorrow Look just be- yond them. Prettiest craft I've ever seen east of the straits. Came in this morning. Owners in Nara now doing the temples. Has a younger brother who's been out here for year going the pace. They won't let private yachts lie any closer in or they'd go high and dry on empty champagne bot tles.''
 Barbara was feeling a strange sen sation of familiarity. Puzzled, she withdrew her gaze, then looked once more.
 Suddenly she dropped the glass with a startled exclamation. What are you going to do with that man?' Her uncle's query seemed to echo satirical- ly about her, for the white yacht was Austen Wares, and there on the gleaming bows in polished golden let ters was the name Barbara"

HRS NOT THE SORT TO GIVE UP A CHASE" "What are you going to do with that man, Barbara?"
 A faint flush rose in her cheek. with what man?"
 Austen Ware"
 She shrugged her shoulders and laughed-a little uneasily. What can one do with man when he is 10000 miles away"
 Hes not the sort to give up chase.''
 Even wild goose chaser" she coun- tered.
 "When I was boy in Virginia" he said, with a humorous eye, 'I used to chase wild geese and bag lem too."
 The bishop sauntered away, leaving a frown on Barbara's brow. She had had a swift mental vision of a cool, dark bearded face and assured bearing that the past year had made familiar It was handsome face, if somewhat cold. It's owner was rich; his standing was unquestioped. The fact that he was ten years her senior had but made his attentions the more flattering. He had had no inherited fortune and had bees no idler; for this she admired him If she had not thrilled to his declaration, so far as liking went, she liked him. The week she left New York he had intended yachting trip to the Mediterranean. When he told her, coolly enough, that he should ask her again in Japan, she had treated it as jest, though knowing him quite capable of meaning it. From every worldly standpoint he was distinctly eligible. Every one who knew them both confidently expected her to marry Ware. Well, why not?
 Yet today she did not ask herself the question confidently. It belonged still to the limbo of the future-to the convenient "some day" to which her thought had always banished it.
 Her gaze went past the clustered shipping beyond the gray line of build ings and the masses of foliage and swan into a tremulous June evening seven years past.
 She saw a wide campus of green sward studded with stately elms fes- tooned with electric lights that glowed in the falling twilight Scattered about were groups of benches, each with its freight of dainty frocks, and on one of them she saw herself sit ting, shy girl of sixteen, on her first

had come out to visit AiN, and Il few months later had married his friend.
 Such was the story, as Barbara knew it. of her father and mother--a love chapter which had soon closed with a faraway grave by the Inland sea. Her fancy had made of her fa- ther pathetic figure. AS child she had dreamed of some day placing a monument to his memory in the Japa- nese capital. She possessed only one picture of him, a tiny profile photo graph which she wore always in a locket engraved with her name. It showed dark face, clean shaven, fine ly chiseled and passionate, with the large, full eye of the dreamer. She had liked to think it looked like the paintings of St. John. Perhaps this thought had caused the projected mon- ument to take the form of Christian plan had become bundle of blue prints, which she had sent to her un- cle with the request that he purchase for her suitable site and begin the building. He had done this before his visit to America, and now the chapel was completed save in one particular the memorial window of rich stained ships hold The bishop had not seen it. From some feeling which she had not tried to analyze Barbara had said nothing to him of the chapefs especial significance. Now, however, at his un- expected reference the feeling frayed, and she told him all of her plan.
 He gazed at her a moment in star tied fashion, then looked away, his hand shading his eyes. When she fin ished there was long pause, which made her wonder. She touched his arm.
 ''You we're very fond of father, weren't you?''
 "Yes." he said in a tone oddly re- strained.
 And was my mother with you when he fell in love with herr"
 ''Yes," and after pause. "I married them.''
 "Then they went to Nagasaki," she said softly, "and there he died. You weren't there then?
 "NO," he answered in a low voice. His face was still turned away, and she caught an unaccustomed note of feeling in his voice.
 He left her abruptly and began to pace up and down the deck, while she stood watching the shore line sharpen, the tangled blur of harbor resolve and shift into manifold detail.
 At length the bishop spoke again at her elbow, now in his usual voice,
