"I am not so much surprised at that after what you have told me. Of course, it was, all very different from anything he had ever known. Surely it was a frightful mistake for him to come to America!" "It's a mistake for most of them to come," assented Jean quietly. "Your brother isn't the type that makes ggood here, He's too fine, What he suffer- ed —but there! I don't want to go on like that, and he never spoke of it, anyway." "But what are we to do?" asked Judy, wringing her . hands a little. "Can't we find or go after him?" "Who are 'we'?" asked Jean on the spur of the moment. "Miss Carllyon t1ia4 is, Mise. Ten- terden and I," said Judy quickly. "I don't know how I am to tell heel I$ there no way of finding out the Al- berta address; and hew fax is it out there? Could I go and come m h day or two?" Jean Dempster smiled and shook her head. "I'm not sure of the exace distance, but it's nearer two thousand than oils thousand miles from New York, Miss Rankine." "Two thousand mileai" echoed Judy, in . incredulous waseerrtent. "Why, that is as far ae we have pore!" "Further. . But this is the land of inuuense • distances. You can't go there after him, Miss . Rankine, unless you have both time .and money. But I could get the address for you, I - think, though he did not give it to me. I know the name of the man who has sent him out. I could find out his ad- dress for you, if you would like to go and see hien yourself; but, on the whole, I wouldn't advise you to." She added this as en afterthought, reflecting that perhaps the millionaire, Fordyce—if all the stories about him -were true—would not be likely to spare her feelings. "I'd rather not go enel see him. How did my brother get to know him?" "He was in the employment of his firm, and had a raw with the man- ager about some abuses he found. there. He hadn't learned to shut his oyes to abuses. I don't think he ever would learn that—would he? The man's name is Fordyce. He has a factory on the East Side. I can easily get at hire on the 'phone, or by letter, or interview, if you would like his address." "Of course I should like his address. I must get it! We must cable to him or something." "Very well, Miss Rankine. I'll find it all out fox you some tune to -day. And where can I send it?" "We are at the laslland House." Jean scribbled it down on the edge of her tablets, and at the moment the bell -bay brought an urgent message. "I ane sorry, but I have to attend to my business, Miss Rankine,'.' she said as she rose. "I wish I had had something brighter to tell you about your brother."

Of course, any- body with half an eye could see that he was not an ordinary man at sill— that he. was a gentleman through and through—what we call a born gentle- man—aa well as one by upbringing and training."

"Only an address, Mr. Foryce," answered Jean in her pleasant Scotch voice, "an address to which Mr. Alan Rankine has'gone out West." "Oh" came somewhat doubtfully over the telephone,, and the,listener quite evidently hesitated. Ile had had a good many affairs in his life re- quiring extreme caution and reserve regarding all his movements, and it was as natural for him to hesdate over this as to breathe. Quite possibly a woman was at the bottom of Ran- kine s plight, . and he might be sglad to get sway from her. y you're Scotch, aren't you?" s, same as you," answered Jean spur of the moment.

"Hight I'll come round inside an hour ode an hour and a half, on my way back to lunch. Can't give ' you that address off-band--well—foe var- ious reasons." "Thank you, Mr. Fordyce. I'll be here." Now that was destined to be a mo- mentous morning in. Jean Dem�pster's life, and, all unconscious of it, she pursued her usual avocations in her quiet, methodical manner. Her desk was cleared and her office spick. and spate when , her caller Was announced. Ile looked at her keenly when he entered, and they exdhanged brief salutatioTis. "You know the chap?" began For- d ce, sitting down on the edge. of the bag heart," said 3ixdy; and moved by an uncontrollable impulse, she leaned forward and touched Jean Dempster's cheek with her lips.

The character and the ideals of any nation are always' pithily expressed in the popular proverb that have become part of the -everyday= sb . eh ot•the Peo- ple. Here is some of: an interesting proverbial philosophy of the Japanese: One Japanese characteristic, perse-; verence, is expressed in the saying: "Fall seven times, stand up the eighth time." Another proverb in the same vein declares: "A road of a thousand miles begins with; one step." The Japanese equivalent, of "casting pearls before swine' 'is "giving gold -cine to a cat,' 'and instead of. "a wolf in sheep's clothing" they speak of "a wolf dressed in a priest's robes." When a Japanese wishes to explain that a thing is quite impossible he Mlle you that one might a.e wall "learn to whim in a field" or "lap up the ocean with a shell." small-minded man looks at the sky through a reed" and "The heart is the same at three as at slaty" are other Japanese .gems. Picturesque too are "At the •foot of theelighthouse it is - dark" and "When the hen crows the house goes to ruin" The latter saying indicates' the Japanese view of femin- ism. Equally pithy is: "There- is no medicine .for love -sickness or for a fool."
