CHAPTER IV—Continued. Bnt with all the explanations which Doctor Wells must make, and the disruption to the household affairs, the coming of- Misako was a boon to the frightened lady-mother of little Bobble. Misako brought (It was all they ’ could do) a letter from the missionaries in a village near Mitaglrl; six months later she became Bobbie’s tqek-me-ln-bed an’ klss-me-'night. for the lady-mother died. Hte father, always a silent man. became doubly stern; devoted perfunctorily to his duties. Insistent that the boy spend long hours over dry books. Bobble saw him seldom. As contact with his father decreased. so did Misako usurp all of Bobbie's affection. tales she told him. as they sat evenings upon the mats. Most of all of the town from whence she had come, its grandeur ami richness, the terrific god who lived In Mltagiri, ttje Thunder God, whose face w veiled, that ordinary men and women might live. To look U|s»n the g«si. save for the highborn, was certain death, so awful was his visage. As the child grew, a sturdy, hrownBkinned youngster, Misako's love became rapt devotion. It was typical of I»octor Wells that he had not flinched at having been sent to Takusakl. although he had seen its location ujv>n the map. and knew that he would be the only missionary for miles nround. This had not daunted him, inspired rather. He did not consider it as ' martyrdom: It was hte duty. Now this very thing reacted against 1 him. More than once he had felt that If . . . if only he had been able to ; wure medical attention, he mightn’t : have lost Elsie. Now he saw his son i playing In the dust with lhe ragged i urchins of the village. Takusakl it- ' self, a« a town, might well have been any of a thousand. He did not consider it as a town. It was a place of heathen, who did not listen or. listening. did not learn. His wife, in her brief stay, had been delighted with it. Thl« Wells did not understand. He romeml>etvd only her last tired hours, and had them with him often. Thut Bobbie should acquire the mannerixti * of hte playmates was natural, but that hte skin became a creamy-yellow In (an that long days In the hot sun should cause hte eyes to narrow—this gave his father secret dismay. The lad swam, played with the rest. His arms and legs browned , —the missionary saw nothing in the boy that resembled either hte wife or himself. f The lad was bright. Hte subtle reosoningii and brilliant cross-cuts through problems in mathematics were. Doctor Wells felt, • means to learn with superficial rapidity. Nor had the boy proper reverence; be had early been disgraced for clapping hte hands in Shinto prayer, learned at the temple, while Doctor Wells was performing a funeral ceremony over a departed church member. The excuse was that “He wath a Japnnetbe. fa-ther-than. 1 thought he would like it . . .” Bobbie saw In the village many things that were beautiful. These, teis father, with the stern taste of the West already developed, did not see. or *ou jo not look for. Especially were tie temples anesthetic and abominable . he had no patience with rhe very few missionaries who saw them as objects of art. It can be seen that Doctor Wells had no sympathy a ith the very air which hte son breathed, since that ate was filled with ancient folkdore ami myths, filled with Orientalesque perfumes and habits. He felt that application to his 'studies would s*K>n remove Bobbie far from this insidious influence even better than he himself might do it. It .was merely an induced phase. Misako became toothless. There was no more Bobbie-San. She could remember no such person. Instead, there lived in the house the heir td the bouse of the Thunder Gate. She bowed, before him. calling the boy Kaya ma-San. Doctor Weils did Dot exist, save as a sort of upper servant. The house was Bobbie’s. Bobbie was served first. Bobbie's wishes must be consulted before she would permit * servant to carry out one of Doctor Wells’ orders. Bobbie totdr it as a matter of

enough. Wasn't she his little mother? To please her, he would memoriae long Shinto prayers. Became adept In the Rules of Courtesy. Because It delighted her to see him imperious, he could adopt a commanding manner before her and the other servants. Mixako had one principal worry. The boy was old enough to be married, i To whom? In vain she painted a picture for the ! boy. There would be a beautiful girl, i versed in every duty and appreciative of her exalted position. A girl with long, fine fingers, with eyes that would shine like black jewels under brows curved as the wings of the nightbirds: her black hair would tie woven with the blossom of the plum; she would have kimonos of pale silk with shifting colors changing with the light. Here, and here alone. Bobbie would laugh, although he took pains to conceal his amusement from Mlsako. The position of Doctor Wells. In his own household, became Intolerable. He could discharge Misako, yet dreaded facing his Maker and admitting that he had acted so with one of such great and simple faith. It was In a bitter moment that he fumbled through his scant correspondence. . He found a letter already creamy with age. It had been written shortly after the death of Bobbie's mother: “Send the boy to me. if you will. If you want the little educated in America I will see that it is done Elsie would have it. He will not be permitted to follow In his father's footsteps. I tell you thnt frankly. To tny way of thinking, there is more religion In bringing water to a desert, or housing the poor properly, than In pfeachlng to a horde of savages. You won’t do this at once. Richard. You were always obstinate. But this Is an open offer. It isn’t a favor to you. remember. It is for Elsie, and the boy." Doctor Wells, from his window, the letter upon the desk before him. wat<-hed a mendicant, copper bowl banging against skinny shanks, weary, sore of feet, extend his bowl at the doorway to Misako. begging a handful of rice, the scrapings of the bean-curd pot. a few shreds of fish. Whimpering. the mendicant thanked Misako for her gift. Doctor Wells heard her answer—that thanks be poured down upon her great and revered lord, Kayatna-San. Nonsens«\ Nonsense. What would the boy come to? Better swallow his pride. Suppose Bobbie were left alone. What Would happen? With sudden intent he clapped his hands. "Send me my son." he ordered. “We see little of ench other, Robert.” he said when the boy entered. “Sit down. son. How," his voice'faltered a moment, “how old are you?" “I was born in' th year of the Forty-third Blossoming of the Sacred Plum, m the Season of—” Doctor Wells, shivering slightly, cut him shaft. “English, Robert!

Listening Misako, without the door, her ear® sharp for all the many vanished seasons, heard Doctor Wells put

Put 45,000 Stitches in Suit of Clothes for Man

Some amazingly patient and observ-1 Ing person, presumably a tailor, makes the annonnement that there are up {vroximateVy 45.00) stitches in the average man's suit of clothes. This result is reached by the following calculations: To the average-size pair of trousers 8,000 stitches are allotted. Os this number about 3,400 are machine made, the rest being math by hand, chiefly in the form of finishing work to the waist, pockets and turn-ups. or “cuffs.” In the vest, or waistcoat, there are, he declares, roughly Iksoo stitches. The percentage of handwork is higher in this garment than In the trousers, the lining" usually being put on entirely by handmade stitches, as well as the finishing work. The figures are 3.400 machine and 2.100 hand stitches. ' ' But It te In the coat that the big

his question again, and sent up a wuil of protest and anguish at Bobbie's delighted answer. CHAPTER V James Sanderson was pleased with the lad’s build and dear eyes. The big house on Nob hill was pleased with him likewise. While he was unimpressed with the grandeur, taking it as a matter of course, yet he had a smile for every one without being familiar. It was not to be doubted that he had a manner, as if he were the master's son. let alone the child of the master's sister and a pennyscrunchin’ missionary. When James Sanderson had arrived at that place which permitted him to build a house of his own, it was of a piece with its neighbors, a wonderful example of The portico was corinthian-coluiuned. There were pinnacles and many-angled roofs, all wood painted gray. Wherever a space permitted, the whole was iced with carved wood, acanthi and fat Rubens-like babies all sprawling together. It was with a twinge, after the fire and earthquake had swept away his house with al) of the others, that Sanderson admitted that a change would be necessary. This he agreed to. as far us the exterior of the house was qoncerned. There was now nothing but severe lines, and even his plea for a Doric column was overwhelmed by the architect. Ho was. however, positive about two things. He would have none of your low ceilings. He wanted large rooms, where there was space for a man to breathe. The other matter was a view-room. Formerly, a cupola had served this purpose. The nearest that Sanderson could come was to insist that upon the jroof be built a pill-box (as the architect called it) which set at the oppo-site-end from the roofs water tank. It had many windows and was reached by a spiral staircase which had a landing before the door, and then continued to a trapdoor in the roof. From the windows of this tower room was a sheer drop of sixty feet. Wisely. Sanderson had this rdom prepared for Bob. It was apart from the house. “No sense keepin' the lad in a boarding school. A fellow wants a little privacy. A place to bring his friends where we grownups won’t disturb them, nor hear them.” The ' room pleased Boh immensely. Sanderson had fitted it up, as he said, to give the lonely boy a homelike place. Actually, he had adorned the room as he-would have liked his own room when he was a lad. Floor space, nothing to speak of; walls covered with the sort of hunting prints that Sanderson had always admired; four chairs, all bought sec-ond-hand, so as to be “homelike, and not stiff:” a nick of books, filled with some of his uncle’s own. A broad double bed, curtained from the room (Sanderson had slept upon grainsacks when he first came around rhe Horn): a table with a humidor, lest Bob fake to cigarettes (which he early did). His first days in the streets startled him. It was strange to walk through the crowds of hurrying people and see no face that he knew. , Once or twice he had greeted a Japanese, only to he rewarded with a blank stare, or a supercilious giggle. After that tie was silent. Yet he could not help but feel each time he saw a brown face disappear In the crowd, an unexpectw! poignant loneliness ... It seemed to him that a fragment of hte familiar world had vanished. leaving him alone. He was entirely unaware of encouraging looks thrown at him. Bob was. as a woman with two tiny bundles remarked tn her companion, not at all hard to lo«»k at. v There was something commanding about him. Not infrequently a girt, or a free-and e#sy ymmg matron, found time to smite at him. Sanderson liked the mnn-eompany. It gave him a feeling that no guest, no matter h<>w intimate, could instill. The tmy’s rapt attention when he spoke he took not as duty, but as Interest. It was a combination of both. The slightest encouragement was sufficient to start him reminiscing of hts college days. He felt that Bob should be forewarned. but did not realise that he was arming him as well.

totals come. In that garment, he says, there are on an average of 3U.UOU stitehes. The pockets and the seann account for much machine work, while the lining and finishing entail, jn the average coat, more than 8,000 stitches made by hand. There are also to be Usen into account the taeklng and fitting stitches, which, as above announced. brings the total up to something like a round 45.000.—Pearson’s Weekly.

Noise That Annoys Not Liege is. at this time of the year, the center of a sport which has no followers elsewhere. Attending cock-crowing competitions is one of the ways in which the Belgian artisan spends part of his leisure. Special roosters are bred for these contests, and that which outcrows his fellows Is adjudged the winner. The roosters are placed in cages, each of which is set aii inch or so from its neighbors.
