When she bus- tled back with all her might; a flounca of foam at her prow and her decks gleaming wur bulletins, an emotion grew big within him and there was a mist in his glance that swept the port of Honolulu, stretching along the line of curling swells and up the sides of the guy green mountain.

It had all happened in what seemed a second of time. He had been tossing bnnzuis from his perch on a tier of sacked sugur as the tug came along- side. nnd his prince was transferred to the governor‘s shining carriage, the music, the flag bearing school children, tin- ship and his prince tingling through” his blood in happy, chilly ripples. Then a fireworks bomb had exploded under the governor's horses. ' '

The emperor's call for troops on the waving war builetlns,- the heat-trend- lug vision of Japan which the occasion evoked—Japan, rainbow hued, flower scented, wan in the gloom of desper- ate conflict, the caroworn figure of his prince, fresh from the thick of the fight for this embassy, upright and undnunt- ed in the lurching Victoria—fused in his consciousness with the smoke of the exploding bomb.

The national hymn of Japan choked in a jungle of discord: as tho rnmlwny horses shook the dark, sinewy body in the affrigbted f'uces of the crowd, then stood, spent: with the pain of the saw- ing weight on their hits,

Five minutes before he had been only one of hundreds on the wharf waving

his hat and shouting "Banzai!" Now those beuting huzzns which shook. the wluirf and echoed among the masts were for him. Women Were weeping orcr liiui; men were grasping ills hand. He was bowing before the governor’s curriagc, and his prince was saying: “My lirnvo fellow, you are needed at the front. You shull go with the rank of ruptuin.”

Koto could only how lower than ever, but he hung grny before. them as be pictured his heiplcss, :igcd parents, on mrcd for and alone.

For an ordinary drnft he. could have arranged a substitute, but for this, no. Here was at once promotion, honor. rev ward. No one must know—no one could know~how unwelcome it was. and his linrnssed soul stood wet on his forehead as he ll0“‘t‘,d, smiling and serene. Amid his torture he felt dimly that these high honors were not for him, but for’ that other that came to him so impel- lingly up there in his joy and held him, yet wus not him.

“He is not on the list of the drafted. your highncss," he heard a voice.

“Let him tnke command at once," ordch the prince. “You will go as (*nptnin," he. assured Koto once more. V The noble prince of Japan had been saved front a tragic fate, hi rescuer publicly rewarded.

The woman'laid a pretty brown hand over her heart, as if to quiet its tumult, then said, smiling: “You shall go to fight for Nippon. The aged parents shall be the first objects of my un- worthy care."

He bent over her hands in sincere delight. Love was not for him, he knew, and he knew that she knew. Henceforth he belonged not to him- self’nor her nor to his parents, but to Japan. It was not for the flue man to show painful emotion, no he said simply:

“Come, let us go to them."

“The prince has drafted me, 0 my father nad‘my mother!" He bowed low. ‘ “The emperor calls for troops." he faltered miserably, aghast at their pai- lor. Then,vs‘nntching at his one ray of comfort, he gently drewjhe woman forward. "Here is your daughter. She will iove'you and care for you."

The aged pair raised their faces, white, unearthly, celestial. Bowing low, the mother quavered: “My son, it is the greatest: of all glories to die for Japan,.'but the soldier, the samurai, must have no divided heart. Rejoice with us and with our daughter that we may arm the soldier with the gift of our unworthy lives, lest, thinking of us, he forgot his duty to Nippon. My son, here is your sword; it was your grand- fatherfa." ‘ -

Theo did. we know: To him is generally attributed the saying that music was the most ex- pensive noise of which he had cog- nizance. Balzac did not himself thor- oughlynnderstand it, but he was deep- ly interested in it. He treated it al- most sympathetically. He got. so it la said, a learned German to help him to deal with it elaborately, and not a lit- tle pleased, it'mny be remembered, was he with the result.
