carelessness. One ear was entirely
missing from the creature's ugly head,
while the other one had been most
prominently delineated.
“A crude enough bit of work,” 1
thought, "yet what a world of fiend-
ish deviltry has been depicted on that
small painted countenance,” for the
black eyes slanted a look of most atro-
cious vindictiveness straight into
mine, and 1 actually found myself sbud

rest upon the rough yet picturesque

into something skin to excitement. It
might have been a trlrk of imagina

moment, that a faint light had ap-
peared In one of the tiny windows of
ih» crooked house. "Rome trick of
those clever little Japanese,” I mut-
tered to my aelf. and curiously turned
the fan over to see If I could discover
any concealed mechanism that would
warrant the effect produced so strange-
ly, but the back of the fan displayed

from the rounded arms.
Presently, 1 Raw her lean her head

rising precipitously to her feet, run

room into section* My curiosity bad
now become so Intense that I felt I
must not lose sight of her for even
an Instant and I found, much to my
delight, that hy holding the fan at a
certain angle I could see her shadow
quite plainly' reflected against the
screen.
Evidently her abrupt exit had been
caused by the arrival of someone,
whose dark reflection gave the Impres-
sion of a tall, broad shouldered man In
uniform The man held out his arms
to the woman Again and yet again he
embraced her Bending his head to
hers, he imprinted a kiss upon her
forehead. For a moment she stood
with bowed head, as though receiving
a benediction, her hands, held closely
; between his own. resting against his
' breast. After a time she gently with-
drew one hand and slipping it Into the
loose drapery of the pink kimono she
drew out a small folded paper which
she thrust Into his Angers, closing
them over it, and, carrying his hand
to her lips, she kissed It repeatedly.
As I watched with breathless Inter-
est the little romance being enacted
before me I was impressed with a feel-
ing of foreboding evil and with an un-
canny sensation such as Is generally
produced by the contiguity of an un-
seen presence I shortly understood
the reason of this feeling for at the
furthermost end of the lighted room
I saw the bamboo curtain swinging be-
fore the half-open door move gently
to one side, almost Imperceptibly, as
though stirred by a summer wind. And
then, creeping softly, softly,
stealthily beneath the curtain, came ;
the creature from lhe outside of the 1
house on the fan.
Cautiously he knelt beside the j
screen and drew from the bagging !
sleeve of his blouse the knife—long, j
thln-bladed and keen—but, as I did
not fail to note, without the sickening
stain on the point that had been there 1
when my attention had first been
called to his pictured presence.
That a tragedy, which I could In no
wise prevent, was to take place be-
fore me 1 felt sure, yet dumbly prayed
that someone might come, or some un-
foreseen happening might occur to be-
tray the creature's pretence before It
wee too late. His intention was evi-
dently not to kill the lovers as they
stood, nor yet to surprise them by a
sudden onslaught, for he still crouched
close to the partition, almost hidden
by the owart .jardinieres bolding the
small cumquot trees, golden with their 1
yeHow fruit, the one hideous blot on
the harmonious color scheme of the
pretty room; watching, watching and
awaiting until the man's shadow,
slowly, slowly, reluctantly retreated
from view. Then bark to the room

menacingly from his position and
sprang toward her. One sinewy hand

On the Doctor-*.
Mrs. Mary O. Baker Eddy, who of
course has no faith in medicine, told
a wes'ern Christian Scientist, at one
of her latest audiences, an anecdote
about a friend of hers. The friend,
a thin and nervou* woman, could not
sleep. She visited her physician, and
the man said:
"Do you eat anything before going
to bed?”
"Oh, no, doctor," the patient replied
“Well,” said the physician. "Just
keep a pitcher of milk and some bis
cuits beside you, and every night, the
last thing you do, make a light meal "
“But, doctor," cried the lady, “you
told me on no account to eat anything
before retiring ”
"Pooh, pooh," said the doctor, "that
very j was three months ago. Science has
made enormous strides since then "
