Art Of Japan.

A certain fastidiousness, a certain
love OF scrupulous and clearly order,
belongs to the Japanese character; we;
find it in their manners, their habits,
their furniture, in all their workman
ship. The word exquisite, SO often:
vaguely misapplied, Is an epithet truly
applicable to the art of Japan. The;
faults of this character are q tendency
to the smallness which often goes with
neatness. The Japanese do not work
under the pressure Of abundant ideas
and torrential emotions; they do not
fall into the excessive extravagance
which sometimes besets the Chinese.
But their unfailing sense of style com.
pensates in great measure for their
lack of more genial exuberance.
Taste with them, as with artists like
Velasquez and Whistler, becomes no
mere negative avoidance. One might
we'll compare the Japanese genius In
some aspects with the Latin genius:
as it 10 shown in much Of the poetry:
Of the Romans and of the French.
where q telling economy Of words and
fineness of handling are made to conn.,
pensate for q slightness or even com.

Do you find NO augury in that? Sol
diers who fight together and who win

He advanced toward her now, his
arms extended, in his face all his
awakened passion as he saw her once
more 30 close at his side.

him back. "Surrender-you ask me to

corner Of the room, half moaning in
helpless terror.
And yet now, at the last instant,
it was Count Frederick himself to
whom it was given to devise a plan.
desperate in itself, yet, as it CHANGED,
effective.
His eyes fell upon q great wheel,
rusty and long disused, which thrust
out of one corner of the room. AS
he saw it his gaze kindled with the
sudden thought which it suggested.
He knew what it was and what 1t
meant-what hope it offered now.
Keep them talking" he whispered
to Kitty, in a quick aside. Engage
them for just a moment-keep them
busy-wait.''
Count Frederick knew that this
wheel and the levers beyond con-
trolled the drainage outlet of the
great moat which surrounded the
rear portion Of the castle. Those low
er gates once opened, there was moth.
ing to prevent flooding of the subter-
ranean passages. The Eoat waters
had been used for that very purpose
in the past-so ran tradition-and
great had been the slaughter wrought
upon ancient enemies of Gretzhoffen
through that very means. Here they
were living in the past-here they de-
manded of the past its secrets-here
they were surrounded by all the grim
memorials of the past. Why, then,
thought Count Frederick, why not use
that past and the means that once
had been sufficient to it?
He laid his hand upon the wheel.
1t had not yielded to an arm less pow
erful than his, and even his strength
was necessary to its limit before he
could force it to yield, long disused as
it had been here. But at length It
did turn a little, and then more and
yet more.
The result was beyond all calcula-
ton. There came the sound OF rip.
ping, and then Of rushing waters. It
came iii the passages back of the In
yaders. 1t filled the stone floors along
the corridors. 1t Tapped their feet. 1t
bathed their ankles. 1t rose swiftly
to their knees. And then consterna-
ton seized upon all those who but now
had stood triumphant, haunting, men,
acing. OF truth, the trapped crea-
lures had turned and wrought their
own vengeance.
Quick, get to safety" commanded
Frederick now. And even as he and
his companions found a little higher
level in another chamber whence
they could see the work Of the wa
tiers on their foes, those foes them
selves began to ,cry,sout in. terror at
the mysterious enemy against which
they could not battle.
"Ycur Majesty" exclaimed Count
Sachio now to the tall figure at his
side-"your majesty"
King Cortislaw it was who had been
summoned to see the last struggles of
