over the ripped and tattered piece
uniform of Nippon which had
covered Charmed Life.
"The Korean woman!" he
gasped, with starting eyes.
Instinctively, before he had
time for thought, he rushed upon
the seated woman. She raised
her naked dagger-that too was
covered with blood.
"Stop!" said she. u am not
running" Her voice was as calm
as the autumn dawn which, just
then, was mantlil.g the eastern
wood with ruby. When the officer
stood over her and over the
mutilated body of his comrade,
shaking with wrath and thirst
for revenge which he could hardly
restrain, the woman continued in
the same passionless voice:
1My man, my husband, he
he killed; yes, this man killed

stained finger at the heap before

him death-death for death!'
WHEN an alarm called her
w out to the doorway of her
cabin, the wife of Charmed Life
had Baby Sister at her breast.
She walked to the scene of blood
calmly, very calmly. She looked
at the desecrated remains of her
young husband. She looked at
the Korean woman, still seated
on the ground in her stained
garments, still holding to her
bloody dagger, there beside the
lifeless idol of her heart. She
looked at the scene and the
woman without shrek, without
fainting, without tear. Only
the lines of her face were tense
and upon her bloodless features
was a naneless something which
struck terror into the most
daredevil soul. All the while she
looked on the scene, the baby
went on nursing, grooming, and
bubbling. She did not speak; no
one else spoke.
And without a single word the
mother turned her back upon the
silent group and walked home to
her own cabin. Baby Sister had
an ample breakfast. She fell
asleep. The mother put her gent

Another novel feature was the i'm
