THE VENGEANCE OF
Henry Jarromon
ABy Roy Vickers

" HE bride was family flushed
not pale. Somehow he
l. had expected her to be
pale. 4 hand of pearls through
which orange blossoms had
been threaded held her veil
in place. II fell behind her like
foam and mingled with the
wraith-like wonder of her bridal
gown.
DO you like me like this?" she
was asking him. Il don't feel
nearly as frightened as YOU look"
He gave her his arm. The serv-
ants, eager for a glimpse OF her.
were at the door. She displayed
herself laughinRly 20 them and
let them exclaim over her.
Jarromsn beckoned the parlor
maid aside.
I've forgotten 10 cancel an ap-
pointment." he said to her. Ring
up Mr.. Segrove-" he gave the
number-'and tell him, with Il
apologies. that cannot, after all,
be with him until o'clock this
afternoon"
Ready said Nadia.
They passed out. into the lift.
and out to the waiting car. In a
few moments they were being
wsirled away. Neither spoke.
Jarroman'S next impression was
Of red carpent under an awning,
q gaping crowd OF slender girls
awaiting them in the porch-the
bridesmaids, all OF Lady Doucest-
er's choosing. They fell int
place behind the bride, and Jarro-
man led Nadia up the aisle to
where Stranack waited.
Around them was the full!
sound OF organ music and the rich
scent Of flowers. The service
began. Jarroman followed il
closely, and played his part with
precision; but half his mind was
busy with a thousand trifles.
The church was full; he had not
realized that the Doucesters were
making such a big affair. Per-
haps they wished to cloak the
fact that he had only asked one
guest-Theed. He smothered a
smile, remembering Theed's unctu-

wondered whether his own daugh-

Farrell smiled his tolerant

II believe. Miss Parker, that
any people who will get down on
all fours to worship the picture
Of tAeir emperor and. 1t this
period Of the wo,iye progress,
ascribe to a mere human being
the attributes of divinity, are
certainly deficient in common
sense, II not in civilization. How
ever. for the purpose Of insur-
ing the realization of the Japan
ese national aspirations, Shinto-
ism is a need vital to the race.
Without it, they could never
agree among themselves. for they
are naturally quarrelsome, suspi-
cious and irritable. However. by
subordinating everything to the
state via this religious channel,
there has been developed a ma.
tional unity that has never cx-
listed with any other race. The
power of cohesion of this peo-
pie is marvellous. and will
enable it. in days to come, to ac-
complish much for the race. For
that reason alone. our very lack
of cohesion renders the aspira-
tions of Japan comparatively easy
Of fulfillment unless we wake up
and attend to business"
How do you know all this. Mr..
Farrell?" Parker demanded in
