"Are you Kimaga, the maker Of
vases?' he said.
"Kimaga. all trembling, replied that
he was.
Then said the man, I hare come

you. Give it to me-
"rDoes 1t belong to your asked
Kimaga, his desire putting armor on
his fear.
THAT is not to be asked replied
the man. I am samurai. For the
glory of Nippon you mus give me the
letter.
But Kimaga did not wish to let
the letter go. How do you know that
l have it?' he said. You have not
seen it.
lit is enough that l know said
the man. Three days allow you. II
by then the letter has not been placed
on i5e altar of the war-god. in the
shrine OF Samiya, then you will be as
sassinated.'
With that the man went away.
"Kimaga was now almos' dead with
fright. For the first day he did moth
ing but weep. The second day he put
on mourning and set his affairs In
order. The third day he held the let
ter in his hand for many hours and
filled his mind with the beauty of the
writing. He could not give it up.
Rather would he die. And at last he
placed it in a lacquer box and buried
it deep at the foot of the largest cher
ry tree in his garden.
He arose to go back into his
house, an his head was bowed over
with terror. You see, he felt that
many eyes were watching him from
the nearby walls, an he thought he
heard breathings and the whispers Of
strangers. What should he do now?
He dare not advance; he dare not
stay where he was. So exceeding af-
frighted was he that he groaned
aloud. From all about him came
groans that answered his. Once more
he groaned, and once more his ears
were filled with the answers.
Then he took one step toward his
house. Nothing happened. He took
another step, an his knees they shook
like the palsy. The breathings an
whisperings seem, oh, so much nearer
now. But he muster all his strength
an put out his foot for the third step.
1t did not reach the ground before the
vengeance struck him.

How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks. Catholic Weekly says: when
I was a cabin boy often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands Of
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day squall answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead black rain cloud ap-
peared all of d sudden. Then out Of
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out a
storm a, long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under It,.
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going. New York Trih

were travelling.
For several minutes Orme continued
in his crouchjng position. The posi-
tions of the stars told him that they
were still going west-not south to-
ward Chicago. Every turn of the
wheels, therefore, was carrying him
farther into unknown territory-farth'

Arima evidently was proceeding to
some rendezvous, where Orme might
find himself again in the midst of an
overwhelming number of enemies.
But what could he do? Rapidly he
turned over in his mind the various
courses open to him. Should he try
to stun Arima with a blow, and then
reach forward and take the steering
wheel before the car could swerve
into the ditch?
The blow might not prove effective.
In that case, the chances were that
Arima would inVoluntarily swing the

Should he try 10 cut tire?
The feat was almost impossible. In
attempting it, he would run great risk
of premature discovery, and even if
he succeeded in the attempt, the situa-
tlon would be little changed. The ne
cessity of stopping the car to make
repairs might not put Arima in his
hands.
The plan he at last decided upon
was to throw his left arm around Ari-
mas neck and draw him straight back,
trusting that he might be able to get
over the seat and set the brakes with
out losing his grip. The throat of the
jiu-jitsu adept is tough, made so by
patient development of neck muscles,
but Orme had a strong arm, and he
believed, moreover, that Arima would
not have time to protect himself by
stiffening his muscles before the grin
was secured.
The car was skimming along over
the turnpike like some flying bird of
night Orme glanced back over the
way they had come. A soft electric
glow in the sky told where Evanston
lay, several miles to the east. Far
to the south greater glow showed
the position OF Chicago.

REASONED IT OUT
And Found Change in Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for it. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
"For some years had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible

His position in society is between

the position to the last degree. This
compulsion to keep ones rank has

duty it is to keep strict watch that
no lawyer dishonors his calling. These
committees have strict code OF pun

from office. In this way the lawyers

Meanwhile Orme reached for the
steering wheel with his free arm. But
Arima, kicking frantically, struck the
wheel with his foot, just as Orme was
about to seize it. The car turned
sharply to one side. Into the ditch
it plunged.
AS the fore wheels dropped into the
depression, the body of the car rose
in the air. Orme, still clinging to
Arima, shot forward. He was con-
scious, in that fraction of a second,
that he must release. his hold, or Ar

unbent his arm.
