he was a petty merchant. When he
died, however, he left what was con-
sidered quite fortune in Japan In
those days. The present prime min
lister of hers, kaneko, was then In
charge of the business. Kaneko spec
uated and lost; the net loss amount
ed to a good many thousand yen more
than the entire fortune which his late
master had left to his widow and chill
dren. Kaneko actually had his foot
on a crOSSbar Of a bridge railing over
