IGNORES COUNTS WARNING
ABOUT PLACE TO SLEEP.
When 1 had written IN my diary
and had fortunately replaced the book
and pen in my pocket 1 felt sleepy.
The Counts warning came into my
mind, but took 4 pleasure in dis
obeying It The sense Of sleep was
upon me. and with II the cbstlnacy
which sleep brings as outrlder. The
soft moonlight soothed. and the wide
expanse without gave a sense Of free
dom which refreshed me. deter
mined not to return tonight TO the
gloom-haunted rooms, but to sleep
here. where OF old ladies had sat and
sung and lived sweet lives whilst
their gentle breasts were sad for their
menfolk away in the midst OF re
morseless wars.
1 drew n great couch out OF its
place near the corner, so that, as
lay, could look at the lovely view
to east and south, and unthinking OF
and uncaring for the dust, composed
myself for sleep. I suppose I must
have fallen asleep; hope SO, but
fear, for all that followed was
startling reai-so real that now, sit
ting here in the broad, full sunllgN'
OF the morning, cannot in the least
believe that 1t was all sleep.
THE aDREAM" BEGINS
TO UNWIND ITSELF.
1 was not alone. The room was the
same, unchanged in any way since /
came into it; I could see along the
floor, in the brilliant moonlight, my
own footsteps marked where 1 had
disturbed the long accumulation OF
dust. In the moonlight opposite me
were three young women, ladies' by
their dress and manner. thought at
the time that ! must be dreaming
when I saw them, for, though the
moonlight was behind them. they
threw no shadow on the floor.
They came close to me and looked
at me for some time. and then whis-
pered together. Two were dark, and
had high aquiline noses, like the
Count, and great dark, piercing eyes,
that seemed to be almost red when
coutrasted with the pale yellow moon.
The other was fair, as fair as can be.
with great wavy masses of golden
hair and eyes like pale sapphires. l
seemed somehow to know her face,
and to know it in connection with
some dreamy fear, but I could not
recollect at the moment how or
where. All three had brilliant white
teeth, that shone like pearls against
the ruby of their voluptuous lips.
There was something about them that
made me uneasy. some longing and
at the same time some deadly fear.

with the possible exception of that of
the British and French war conferees.
In an article from which we repro
zee extracts in another column, The
New York Evening Post says that
nothing less than a new era in the re-
lations between the United States and
Japan is promised in the forthcoming
visit; and it stresses this view by quot
ing a studious discussion of Oriental
Occidental relations by DR.. T. Iyena-
ga, director of the East and West News
bureau.
DR.. Iyenaga treats lucidly the proba-
Bile Importance of the diplomatic mis-
sion in purely a political and a COM
mercial way and IN making clear the
United States and the world in gem
eral Japan's position with reference to
China and Chinese affairs.
1t is very probable, however, that
Jarans relationship toward the pro
blem of stamping out Prussian despo-
tism-in which we, with Japan, are
making common cause-Will receive
first and really most important consid-
GRAFTON, for until that menace is remov-
ed from the world commercial and
peaceful affairs of all kinds must wait.
After that is accomplished it will be
timely enough to talk trade; and until
that is accomplished no degree of GER
tainty can attain to any after-the-war
commercial or political agreement that
might be reached between the govern
ments. The world is too chaotic
state just now to assure permanency
to whatever arrangements might be
made.
The first business before America,
Japan and their allies is to win the
war.
The consensus of world opinion is
that the United States must be mainly
relied upon to accomplish this, be-
cause three years of fighting has
lrought the anti-Prussian powers in
Europe well-nigh to point of exhaus-
ton.
Of the original belligerents against
the central powers, only in Japan does
vigor and military power seem wholly
unimpaired
Japan has not been hurt by the war
rather, she has been building and ac-
cumulating strength while her allies
have been bleeding and suffering was
tage.
So today Japan and the United States
all the nations arrayed on the side
Of democracy, stand fresh and strong.
From the laymans point of view
there is no apparent reason why Japan
! should not be looked to come into the
Breach and save the day on a parity
land shoulder to shoulder with the Unit
ed States.
/ Very likely this forthcoming parley
was arranged with precisely that
thought in mind. If so, the visit is
fraught with greater cause for hope
than has been any event since America
entered the war.
