CHAPTER XIX.
The Resurrection of the Dead

The Resurrection of the Dead.
1t was the man she had seen that morn
ing at the entrance to the little park.
Barbara realized instantly and uneasily
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
lace was conscious and alert, with a sort
OF savage shyness
Il am afraid i am intrudlng," she said.
Il ought TO have known the garden was
private"
Private gardens may sometimes be seen.
l suppose"
The words were ungraoious, though the
timbre OF the voice was musical and soft.
Il beg your pardon" she said and moved
away.
He made a gesture a quick tlmid move
ment of one hand, and stepped down to-
ward her. No" he said almost violently.
II don't want you 20 go. Can't you see 1
mean you to stay?"
Barbara saw clearly now the variation
in his eyes; the larger one was clouded,
as though q film covered the iris. 1t gave
her slight feeling OF repugnance. which

He looked at her quickly and keenly with
his one bright eye. 1t held none Of the

verge Of a frown, was almost fierce. The
curved, gray mustachs did not hide his
strong, irregular white teeth,
You know japanese gardens?"
Not yet" she answered Japan is new
to me. needn't say how lovely think
this is-you must grow tired hearing
strangers rhapsodize over IT,"
Strangers" he laughed; the sound was
not musical like his spoken voice. but
harsh and grating. Il have one joy-no
stranger ever dreams OF coming to see
me-
I should have said your friends, said
Barbara,
Friends would be more troublesome than
my enemies" he said grimly, who, al
least, never ask me where / don't want TO
go
She looked at him wonderingly. She
had never met any one In the least like
him. Hts features we're refined and unquss-
uonably ristocrauic but his whole express
sion was quiyering sensitive, resentfIlIy
shy. Il was the expression, she thought,
Of one whom a look might cut like a whip
lash, a word sting like a soaring acid

Goodbye" she said and stepped through
the gate
But Thorn did not answer. At sight Of
the approaching figure he had drawn back
abruptly. Now he turned sharply away
into path which led toward the temple.
She saw him once glance swiftly back
over his shoulder before he disappeared
behind the hedges
The man with whom barbara had been
talking went slowly UP the temple steps.
His face was haggard and drawn There
he paused and looked back across the
yard

muttered-'yes. I believe in the resurree-
ton Of the dead"

posite 1t was hedged with some unfamiliar
thorny shrub with wooly yellow blossoms
and a little way inside stood an old tenn
pie gate with a stone toril. She stopped
with an exclamation.
Yes" he said. there Is the chapel"
Barbara was looking opposite the tori,
where amid the Towering green, a slant
ing roof lifted, holding a cross. Ii stood
out, whitley cut against the blue, a silent
witness Facing the dragon-swarming gate,
il made her think Of pale martyrs in gor-
geous pagan countries OF Paul standing be-
fore the temple OF Diana in Ephesus. and
lonely Christian anchorites in profane lands
OF green and gold.
Barbara had paused in front Of the black
space for the stained-glass window.
1t will be here" the bishop said an
swering her thought. 1t Is TO be put in
place in time for the dedication service

door and peered into the interior. You
will want to look about a bit, no doubt

suppose l stop on my way back for you"
For a few moments after his departure
Barbara stood listening to the dulled sound
OF the workmen's tools. The roof Of the
temple opposite had curving, Tartar-like
ridge, at either end Of which was huge
fish, its head pointed inward, its wide
forked tail twisted high I'm air
She crossed the lane and looked into the
shady Enclosure, where the bronze lanterns
and the tombstones stood, as gray and
lichened as the stone beneath her feet

then 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. Rejecting
that this was temple property and hence,
no doubt, open to the public, she Unattached
its bamboo gate and entered
Before her curved limo Of flat stepping
stones set In clean, gray gravel. On one
side was a low camellia hedge spotted will
blossoms Of deep crimson and on the other
a miniature thicket OF fern and striped
ground bamboo. Beyond this rose messy
hillock, up whose green sides clamberec
an irregular pathway, set with tall ShintC
lanterns and large stones, like gigantic
many-colored quartz pebbles. Here anC
there the flushed pink OF cherry trees
made the sky tapestry of blue rose and
in the hollows grew a FURNISHED, purple
shrub that seemed to be powdering tn,
ground with the velvet petals of pansies
For moment Barbara shut her eyes (
fix the picture forever on her brain.
She opened them again to a flood Of sun
light on the gilded carvings of the ancien
structure. Its shoji had been noiselessll
drawn open, and man stood there look

tongue and a queerly carved monument

melt away"
Returning, Barbara led the way. Once
She stopped over a single strange blossom
on long stalk, whose golden center shone
cloudily through silky filaments like the
leaves OF immortelles. What is that2''
she asked.

For the first time she surprised him in

irradiation. VIII you do It AGAIN.

AS she spoke she saw him start. She
looked up. Across the temple yard through

Baroness stroloff, the wife Of the Bulgar-

the Review-and the long procession (sinee

threading in and out, a writhing, yellow
linked chain.
They came presently where the roadway
overlooked a sunken temple yard enclrcled
by meats Of oozy slime dotted with pink
and white lotus buds, In the center OF the
Enclosure rose a wide platform with tass-
led curtain like the stage of a theater.
Opposite was a pavilion in which sat rows

Bersonin was dressed in white flannels
which accentuated his enormous size. A
younger man was with him, smoking a
cigarette, and in their kae followed a Jap

ANSWER Is EASY.

What is Love-" is the startling in
quiry propounded 10 the Orange
tVa.) Observer. and Newt Robinson
refers the correspondent to .old

Nothing could be easier TO answer.
Love is daily journey TO the mar

continual struggle 10 live happily
with your mother-in-law: and an
earnest desire TO meet the mIliner,s

sion daily on the question OF hobble
skirts. and how much time shall be

A WORLD or MINISTER'S.

This world Is full Of ministers. Not
only animate, but inanimate thiAs
become Gods ministers.
John Thorpe. Of England, was a
man OF God. He preached the gospel
to his fellow-men. But every once in
a while. like a black cloud into
summer hemisphere. aiheIstic doubts
would surge into his mind. One day
he was walking in a wood. and a leaf.
loosened from It's twig. came shifting.
shifting down through the air. and
struck between his fingers He looked
at the leaf He studied II. He ex-
amIned lis wonderful Intervening Of
ibers. And that leaf preached him
such sermon on the existence Of
God that he never doubted again.
Was not that leaf smi,ten from It's
twig BY the wing Of a passing seraph?
Was Il no; a divine minister?
