CHAPTER VI.

CHAF EN- W.
Mr. Yazimoto. carefully busting his
clothes till hardly a trace OF the re-
cent fray was visible, walked away in
the darkness, while his companion,
limping in a fashion that showed how
badly he had been battered in the
fight. went painfully beside him. The
Filipino was evidently sore OF mind as
well as body. and occasionally NUT

ever. was philosophical The little
Japanese bore a swollen lip and one
OF his eyes was almost closed, but he
grinned almost cheerfully as the ex-
ecrations OF his friend came sputter-
ing to his ears.
Patience. my dear Senor Aguilar." :"
remarked Mr.. Yazimoto. in the gen.
tlest OF tones, "is of the greatest OF
honorable necessity. In the life Of the
man who follows the admirable pur-
suit of trade. patience must be Of
mingling Commensurate with great
Judgment. Should not the man who
makes transactions in the honorable
affairs of nations be restrain doubly
his emotions and his notable adjec-
tives?"
Senior Aguilar's somewhat irritated
reply seemed to indicate that he was
almost wholly lacking in the desirable
quality so strongly advocated by his
colleague. He gave free rein to his
sentiments as they paced along, and
only intermitted his remarks when
they turned into a side street and
stepped quickly into the basement
areaway of a substantial brownstone
house. Mr. Yazimoto knocked lightly
twice: the door opened without noise
or the preliminary rattle of bolts, and
the Orientals passed inside.
A black man ushered them into a |
small room, sparsely furnished with a |
few chairs and a mission table. strewn
with maps and plans. Beside the ta- |
BILE, his huge frame resting at ease In
a gigantic morris chair, sat a noun |
tain of a mana portly German, so
vast in every measurement that his |
seated figure seemed to tower above
