Betty Doane was Just nineteen.
She was small. quick to feel and

was distinctly pretty.

none the less there was something

the rare gift OF expressiveness. that

the conclusion that Betty had beesn

The disturbing point was that
something in the way OF a situation

would arise in some quite unforeseen
way.
This is the way It did arise. On the

on a day in late March, 1907. Miss
Betty Doane sat in the quaintly airy
d~ining-room OF the Hotel AIiyaka. at
Kioto, demurely sketching a mans
profile on the back OF a menu card.
The man, her unconscious model,
lounged comfortably alone by one of
the swinging windows. He had fin
ished his luncheon. pushed away his
coffee cup. lighted a cigarette, and
settled back to gaze out at the hill.
side.
His head was long and well mod.
eled. with n rugged long face. reflec.
tive eyes. somewhat bony nose. and
a wide mouth that was, on the whole,
attractive.
He had appeared a few days back.
at h Grand Hotel. Yokohoma, com.
ing in from somewhere north of To.

eaten alone. austerely.
He was, Betty knew. a journalist
OF some reputation. The name was
Jonathan Brachey.
Her sketch was about done; all but
the nose. When you studied that
nose in detail It seemed a little too
long and strong. and-well. knobby-

There would be a trick in drawing
