in his work, 1t rather tended to en-
courage his daughters clandestine
courtship with Makito. but 1t was with
difficulty that MaSa could keep things
from her father. It has often been said
that the face Is the true index of the
mind. and during the past few days
Masa's actions seemed very strange to
her father Accordingly, one evening
the father followed Masa when she was
on her way 10 meet Makito. and he
hid behind big tree a short distance
from their meeting place.
It was a great surprise to Baisen
when he saw young knight and his
daughter together in the moonlight and
1t appeared as If they were already on
the best Of terms.
"A dog" the father screamed at
heart. and he was silent for a while,
but he listened with breathleSs atten-
ton TO what they were saying. To his
astonishment he heard the word mar
riage" quite clearly. as II they we're
engaged. He bore most unkind feel
ing toward Makito for a moment and
then he walked TO his home crestfallen,
as II he were neglected by his daughter.
whom he held most dear. But he buried
himself in the affairs of state Soon he
found himself staring at his wife's por-
trait. Calling her name aloud, he cried
out, Our daughter Is leaving u.s." and
then he went into deep thought. He
seemed to hear familiar voice as he
looked upon that portrait, saying: We'll

you know she Is l8? You may be a
scholar. a patriot, yet you have failed
In your paternal relations and you made
failure of my life also. But do not,
do not make a failure Of your daugh-
ters life"
The long. long night broke at last
and the sun shone brightly above the
sky OF the Silver-eye village, while the
cherry blossoms glittered in the sun.
1t was such bright morning, and the
father and daughter had breakfast to-
gether as usual. Their home was fra
grant with the odor of sweet Spring
flowers. This morning Baisen seemed
In very good mood, talking about vari-
Gus things at breakfast table, seemingly
forgetting all about last night. His
face was wan, indicating a loss of
sleep. The golden weather was enough
TO make his heart lighter and he grad
ually experienced softening of Senti-
ment toward his daughter.
After breakfast. In a most formal way,
the father said, ''Masa," and Masa look
ed into her fathers face with some sus-
picion. He watched her face intently.
then he said: You are in love, are you
not? DO not be afraid. Masa. know
all"
Can you ever forgive me?" said Masa,
and hre voice trembled.
We'll. it's all right; yes. Masa. fear
not. ] am glad TO know OF your happy
change"
Masa then told her father all about

ed for his face beamed with delight
while Masa's was radiant with Joy.
After a little time she again left her
home TO climb the hill. The aged priest
had called on Baisen, and this priest
was the only one who could enter their
home without knocking. He was OF

were fast friends. On this occasion
they talked about MaSa's marriage. but
the priest advised BaiSen not to see the
young knight. as the family of Makito
would not consent to his marrying the
daughter of a fugitive. On after
thought the priest promised to arrange
this satisfactorily.
y " "
ON this evening Makito rode out of
- the court as usual When he had
arrived at the small forest near the hill
his horse suddenly stopped and nothing
could urge him on. When Makito no
ticed this he loosed his sword and held
1t tightly. ready for instant use. He
then glanced carefully all around. hold
ing his sword. Not soul was In sight.
Again he started his horse up the hill.
After the lapse of few minutes giant
appeared on the scene and. standing in
the road. he gaZed after Makito. by
Jove, missed again." he soliloquized.
The giant was Kurondo Yajiman
Katsu. Makito's rival. He was looking
for a chance to attack Makito in am
bush. for well he knew he could not de-
feat him by fair play. There was moth
ing too mean for Kurondo to do, If he
could but win Masa's love- Kurondo
intended to take Makito's life at the
first opportunity. but his plan miscar-
ried. Makito was an able Samurai by
nature. and. as he was always on guard,
1t did not seem TO be easy.
Kurondo was on his way TO the house
where a candle was burning. He drew
close TO the house and found a light
shining through chink in the door of
the main entrance and within he spied
a gray-haired old man. The aged one
was sitting by the table absorbed in
writing
Kurondo eyed the old mans face
doubtfully. "A traitor" he screamed at
last. But. TO his joy, he found how TO
handle the old man and to win the
daughter
Kurondo sneaked into the house and
stood right behind the door. BaiSen
Immediately turned around to eye the
intruder.
"And who are you?" asked the old
man, with much self-possession. Again
Kurondo replied: Il am Kurondo Vail
man Katsu, one In the service of Lord
Keikawa"
We'll, young man, whoever you may
be, that Is no reason why you get into
another mans house without knocking.
Eh? Otherwise, aren't you thief"
You are quite right. / am a thief"
replied Kurondo
you are. and what may your inten-
tions be-" Baisen asked calmly.
"A girls heart" was the reply, and
Kurondo burst into laughter
He then walked around the room
quickly, looking here and there. Baisen
sat at ease by the table and managed to
conceal his chagrin at such actions
Kurondo took his stand by the bookcase
which was close 10 the table There
were many foreign books IN unknown
languages.
While Kurondo was looking at the
bookcase. Baisen took out his sword
which was hiding beneath the table,
keeping a sharp watch for a chance
There were many confidential docu-
ments hiding beneath those foreign
books.

A CITIZENS VALUE.

The value of a citizen to the con- munity can not be measured in dol lars. There is, however, a reasonable basis by which each citizen can de- termne his own worth to the com munty in which he lives. Each can ask himself the question, Would the city be better off if leave it or would it be better off if stay?"
 There can be no halfway mark. A person is either of some positive value to his community, or he is of negative or detrimental worthless ness. One is either a producer or consumer, or both, or he is mere parasite living off of the work and wealth of others. A person may be of great value to a community whether he works with hands or head The laborer produces goods and service; the artist produces beauty; the teacher produces citizen ship; the minister produces the op- portunities and suggestions for spirit ual thoughts and actions; the ibusi- ness man produces the goods and merchandise necessary for sustenance and comfort. All can produce kind ness, cheer, cooperation, love, friendliness and loyalty.-Anchorag Times.

DREDGES MAY BE PLACEDON
 CREEKS OF RUBY DISTRICT

Mining inteests of San Francisco may put dredge on Long creek, in the Ruby district, this summer, ac- cording to Thomas Long, U. s. dep uty marshal from that place, in an interview given to the Fairbanks News-Miner. A report on the proper ties has been sent in and the findings are very favorable, Mir. Long says.
 Birch creek, in the vicinity of Long creek, will be drilled this sum- mer to ascertain if the ground is rich enough to justify dredge. A large amount of placer has been found on that creek and number of claims have been worked successfully in the past for gold. The ground is wet, but there are. sufficient values to justify new operations under new methods, said MT: Long.
 It is very possible that the ledge or lodges from which the tin and gold originated will be located, MT. Long says, as men are out looking for the rock in place. The outlook for min ing in the Ruby district is very prom ising, and it is a splendid field for a number of genuine prospectors.
