CHAPTER IX

DOWN THE BAT OF TEDDO.

On arriving at the hotel, Berton accompanied Uens up a broad flight of stairs to a handsomely furnished sitting room. She felt very gidly and nervous, and for a minutes or two rested herself npon a lounge, while Kaisha hold a short conver. zation with her in Japanese.

Merton insisted upon her taking some chain- pagno, and this scomed to revive her and she sat

I am indeed greatly indebted to you for your timely sesistance," she said with a faint smile, "hat sombow I do not feel safe from that labu mau oresture."

At the bars thought of the man, she shuddor- ed and involuntarily glanced towards the door as if expecting to see him appear.

Who ever is be?" asked Morton. He passos as a Frenchman sail calls himself Monsieur Davelle.”

"Moasisar Davolle quoth Merton with derision. I would but anything that he is s Resin, or a Russian Pole and probably aapy, But how did he make your acquaintance?

I met him some two years ago when crossing over from Shanghai," she replied tremulons ly but it is all 80 stage and so ter- rible that I must ask you to let me tell you about it when I am more composed; for just at resent I am perplex to know how to not, I cannot and will not ste ga Tokyo another night now that he is here and yet where osa I go ?"! KO

Go to Tokobama" he suggested. "But it is too late!"

Ho consulted his watch,

"It will soon be midnight," he said thought- fully," and the last train has left for Yokohama, But it is a fine night and we could go by water. Do you propose staying at Yokohama

"No," she replied seriously. "I think I had better return at once to Nagasaki,”

14

he said Then come in my yacht," promptly. She is in Yokohamo, and there is plenty of room for both you and for Kaishs, You can have the after state-room and he can occupy the small berth next to it."

You are really too kind, and I feel sincerely grateful to you?" she said, tarzlog to Kaisha and speaking quickly, as though consulting him upon the matter. Then she again addressed

Marton.

"It is very selfish of me to put you to such inconvenience, but I can only thankfully accept your generous offer, Kaishs will hire a boat to take us to Yokohama."

Then let na go at once," said Morton, jumping up and drinking the champagne in his glass and making Kaisha finish what was left In the bottle.

"Will you exause me for a few minutes ?" She said, rising and speaking to Kaishs, who now followed her out of the room,

The latter soon reappeared, carrying two waterproof valises containing their personal effects, and shortly afterwards Uens returned Sho hod tally prepared for the journey, changed her costume for a dark bite one with a short claret-coloured jacket or hory and an obi of the same colour and bad-rooved the flowers and most of the ornaments from her hair.

Kaisha now harried away with the luggage to charter a bont for the trip to Yokohama, which was distant about twenty miles; and after Uena had settled her account with the manager

of the hotel, who seemed very surprised at her sudden departure, she and Merton drove away in richas to the hutoba near the English Legation. The city was now comparatively deserted, and on their way to the waterside they only met a few native policemen

and coolies.

Kaisha was awaiting them with a good-sized sailing boat which was covered amidships with a moveable bamboo hood. Here Usna and Merton took their seats, while Kaisha assisted in pasting the craft off from the jetty and in hoisting the heavy lateen asil, there being only one elderly man in charge of the boat,

The night was so dark that great skill and vigilance wore required to avoid collision with the crowd of small shipping auchored in the harbour and sailing to and fro at the month of the Sumida river. At length, however, the bost was navigated well out into the stream and wont rustling along before a gentle North- Easterly wind.

THE TRAGEDY OF BRAIN-FAG.

"He was shunned and disliked by all the passengers and particularly by the captain, yet. this did not seem to disturb him in the least. A FAMOUS NOVELIST'S CONFESSION One afternoon Captain Cinig, who was fatherly To fool that one's brain is tired, that one's kind-hearted man, called me into his shart. grip and power of concentration are, no longer room and at once warned me against him what they were, is a tragedy which only those feel it my duty, he said, to put you on your who have gone through it, or who dread the guard against this Monsieur Darelle, as he calls possibility of its happening before they have himself, for there is something mysterious and made adequate provision for their responsibil inhuman about the man. What ha is I do notities, dan fully appreciate. know, but I have reason to believe that he is one of these monsters who conspire against the pence of nations and live upon the emanations of war and bloodshed.”.

"I was much shocked and alarmed at what he said. and, not being able to quite credit all of it, asked how he gained his information, "Well, he continued, during the late War between Japan and Chins, a friend of mine in the Naval Reserve was acting as gunnery instructor on the Chinese gunboat Chi Yuen, This Monsieur Darelle, who was of then known as Count Zohorsket, was a guest on board the gunboat, and during the night the battle of the Tala was found in the lower deck interfering with the wounded and was at ance shot dead by a Chinese lieutenant whose name was never disclosed. My friend swears that the body was thrown overboard by two of the assistant surgeons and that in doing so a pocket-book dropped from one of the pockets, In this there were letters from Egypt, assis, the Netherlands and the Argentino Repablie, which on being translated found to relate to anarchist plots and contemplated Wars and revolutions in various parts of the world. These incriminating documents were sent to the officials of the Tsung Li Yamen at Peking, and there the matter ouded. From my friend's description, I feel positive that this Monsieur Davelle is the very identical man who is believed to have perished on board, the i Chi Yuen. Whether he was feigning death when thrown overboard and whether he con- trived to afterwards swim ashore, I do not pretend to know-but here he is aboard my vessel, and I can assure you I shall not be sorry when he leaves.

were

"You can imagine, Mr. Marton, what I felt. after the narration of these supposed facts, and what were my feelings when I found this Mon- siour Darelle awaiting me outside the chart room. From that time until we got into Nagasaki he seldom allowed me any peace when I was on deck, and when I went ashore he found out where I lived and frequently enme to the house. My geisha friends were dreadfully frightened. of him, and O Sao-san and I income so weak and nervous that at last we sought the protection of the police. Then one tormentor suddenly disappeared, and I never saw anything more of him until tonight."

"Dear me, how strange," said Merton some what incredulously. "But, of course, it way be a case of mistaken identity. He is certainly ugly and vicious enough for anything, and you must, indeei, have forgotten his very existence, when you preached me that pretty sermon about the ugly man, the good man and the perfect saint."

He now told her how he had met this Mon sieur Davelle at the temple of O Suwa, and how the man had interrogated O Sao-san respecting her. When she heard that Merton had also een him that evening alight from the train at Tokyo station, she became very spitated.

Do you think," ebe asked," that he will bo returning to Yokohams to-night?"

To be rescued from the clutches of so depress- ings state of mind is, naturally, the earnest wish of everyone. This can be readily done by moans of Saustogen, the world-renowned recon- stituent and revitalising agent which is endorsed by over twelve thousand doctors, including the physicians to ten crowned heads of Europe.

Snaatogen contains organic phosphorus in exactly the condition in which it is present in the brain and nervous system.

There was something so solemn and beautiful in this picture that Merton sat gasing upon it with mingled feelings of awe and edusiration and as he watched the face of that mysterious being with whose destiny his own seemed to ba strangely linked-a face which was radiant with the iuspiration of womanly purity and ten- derness his ardent idealism raised him for the moment above the meaner satisfactions of life to the sanctiflation of prayer-spontane ous prayer which was manly, heartfelt and anselfish, inasmuch as it was offered wholly in behalf of the one whom he honourably loved. For true and lasting affection is insoperable from a feeling of deep and unconditional solici- tude for the future welfare of the object upon which it rusts.

On rising from her knees she greeted him with a winsome smile and her face beamed with the freshness and healthfulness of faith."
