picked her up and placed her in the
shade. Two unknown men were sit
ting al her side tanning her hot fore
head The fans looked like two gigan-
tic blue butterflies. The beautiful white
silk dress she had put on to meet her
husband was dirty. She asked the men
where they came from. Both were from
Kobe, but they did not know her hus-
band Then they left and Al was again
alone
She began TO walk along slowly.
for she was still very dizzy and faint.
Evening came with a cool breeze
from the fragrant meadows. which were
hidden under a veil of white mist as
the sun went down behind the distant
hills
On the dark sky arose the bright cres-
cent of the moon and AIS heart swelled
with confidence and new courage. She
suddenly knew that before midnight his
arms should be around her and she
should feel the kiss of his lips. She
felt that he had been delayed and was
speeding along to meet her.
Now the lights of the city were quite
close and soon she passed through the
first streets. A porter showed her the
house where her husband was living.
Her heart was in her throat and she
stood long, hesitating in the darkness,
before she entered A dark figure arose
from a mathis servant. He bowed to
the strange woman, but would not tell
her where his master was. She threat
ened him that she would have him dis
she was mistress of the house and that
her husband was expecting her Then
the man retired 10 his corner and re-
manned silent All began to despair
what was happening here? She tried
everything. but the man remained as
silent as ever.
Her Despair.
All left the house, threw herself on
the ground and burst into sobs. as II
her heart were breaking The wife of
a neighbor came out and raised her
up. She led her through a maze of
/ streets until at last she stopped out
! side a house with a gaily-colored Ian
| tern.
Your husband is in there" she said
and left her.
Al looked at the long row of Ian
terms in all colors, one outside each
house, and she knew she was in the
street of the geishas, and broke down
| completely. Had not her husband pos
sessed the key to her heart! The tears
/ streamed down her cheeks as she I'M
derstood where her husband had spent
4 al these long days, and why he had
/ not thought Of her sufferings.
Then she heard his voice She found
a small crack in the lattice, through
! which she looked into the house, and
! she felt as if thousand arrows pierced

whisper only a soft 'Sayonora" Good

TINE express train came up and the

from one Of the cars and looked about
like a scared bird The platform was
empty A shadow Of disappointment few
across her face, but then she smiled,

waiting outside in the street. But, alas

The sun spread its dazzling light on
the white dust, and the only sound TO
be heard was the shrill music of the
grasshoppers in the meadow.
All trembled. She had written to her
husband:
Honorable Master
Il have taken courage TO write you
this letter For many months you have
stayed away from your home, away
from your Al, who every day asks the
clouds for news about you, but the
clouds answer her not. Then I wan
dered like an humble pilgrim to the
summit OF Dakeyama to pray that you
might return home soon. You have not
come back yet. and still l know you
are alive, for your soul has not touched
the food l placed before your image
every day.
You are in Kobe. oh honorable. but
you must have finished your business
there long ago and surely you can not
care for the amusements there when
you know that your Al is dying with
the pain Of longing for you.
Therefore, forgive me when I come.
Forgive, oh honorable. the ugly impa-
thence which compels me 10 go to you,
but can no longer sleep nights when
the moon rises over the top of F'uyi. l
am sick with yearning for you.
When you get this letter shall be in

| with a rickshaw. In the burning sun
she started to walk. The city was far
| away but she walked ahead bravely
! though the stones hurt her feet so much
that time and again she had to sit
down and rest. The heat grew more
and more oppressive. Al sprang up,
| she could not spend all DAY on the road
and she walked faster than ever, think
ing Of him all the time with fear in her

only for the ears of her townsmen:
"Gentlemen-a mani"

him in good stead, and under the tute-

Warren looked him over with the ut

with a broader grin he indicated Rus

Don Robledo's forbidding face grew
darker
"And you both want to dIe?"
Rusty nearly fell over the bagga &c

Warren continued to smile

NO. snarled Don Robledo. His lips
CuTled back like a VOLTS from his big

whip with both hands. Then he turned
to Dolores, his manner as offensive as
he could make it, and cried:
well, senorita, we gentlemen Of Sc

maddest fool that ever came TO Spain"'
There was a loud laugh from the syc-

Swallowed all else. So II was with no

What had happened to him? Why did
he stay away from her?
Suddenly she imagined she saw him
dying He lay stretched out on mat
with cOnvulsed features and could not
die until he had seen his Al again. And
she had been weak. given in to her
pain and rested on the way. She had
taken upon herself the awful response
bility of delaying his SOUL that was
eager to get away from earth.
She shuddered. There was a strange
noise in her ears, and suddenly the
yellow grain fields began to turn red
as blood and move up and down as
with an earthquake. The rice fields
burst into flames, and everything
turned a bright yellow. The woods
came rushing at her and, like a huge
orange, the sun dropped down on the
road
When All opened her eyes she was
lying at the roadside. Somebody had
