I had sailed on a tramp steamer, been jolted in jinriksha's and carried across streams by little brown men whose bareness embarrassed me at first-to marry Harry, my Harry, only to hear that a detestable Russian army lay between Pekin and Qiharo and would delay us for a month or more. ' I can remember yet how I had to bite my lip tm lteep from crying before those curious slant- eyerl fellows. I secured comfortable quarters in one of those little Japanese houses- play housesu-I call them, and had blubbered for perhaps two days when a dignified little Japanese entered and to my astonishment requested, nay ordered, that the most gracious Emperor of Japan requested my honorable presence at once. Not being so important yet having some spice of honorw in my own work. a newspaper wo- man, I was delighted at the opportunity to see a really, truly, Emperor. Dressing hurriedly I fol- lowed my pompous, little guide, who provoked my inward mirth by his unfailing dignity. In a short time we entered the beautiful grounds of the most holy Emperor of Japan. Entering the pal- ace and passing through innumerable, thick car- peted rooms, whose walls rolled back at the touch and the air seemed heavy with some pungent Oriental perfume. I presently entered the ante-chamber of the Emperor of Japan. ' e i I remember thinking with a little thrill how perfectly happy I would be if only Harry were with me. I recalled myself with a start and turn- ed to meet my Jap guide coming softly toward me. I drew back, startled, but he merely motion- ed toward a little entry, though still sizing me upl' as I thought. I entered, and walked in apparently calmly, tho' really my bones were knocking, made a low obeyance to the little brown man on the high chair, as it looked to me, and inquired what was his will with me. He did not answer immediate- ly, but on looking around and seeing my guide and another man near harshly ordered them from the room--the went-tho' sullenl , it seemed to Y me. Then his little slant eyes regarded me curious- ly-4'You Helen Lenoldsl Come to meet Mr. Hallery Lice ? Astonishment at his knowlezlge of my affairs werha as showed itself in m face, for he smiled Y hugely. Are vou not the ath-el-atic ffirl who G .f . I - 25 shoot, swim ? tl had won a medal in a wo- men's swimj. ' And are you not the girl-el who wrote Q newspaper article on the pl-easant war P To all these rapid-fire questions I merely nod- ded and he made a queer little gesture of satisfac- tion and struck a queer dragon shaped gong which nearly frightened the wits out of nie. Immediately came a soft shuffling of feet from somewhere to my left and a servant entered and bowed low to the Emperor. They conversed rapidly for some minutes and as I looked curiously around it seemed to me as if the reed walls on the left bulged inward as if someone were pushing against themithere. Miss Leynolds-this man talk to you l The servant bowed courteously to my gaze and mo- tioned toward a low divan. I seated myself and watched interestedly the short, erratic, walk of the little Emperor. Then the interpreter: Miss Reynolds, you are aware that the two Japanese parties, the Okai and the Shumari are in deadly enmity over the policy followed by the Emperor in the presentiwar ? QThis in the most perfect Englishgatiny nod he continuedj. The Em- peror has long wanted to culminate this unhappy war by negotiation with the Czar of Russia-this the Shumari are aware of and have killed each of the three messengers we have dispatched, sending us a hideous remembrance, two human fingers, the sign of the party. Vtfhat this was leading up to I was perfectly unaware, but in any event I was intensely interested. Then the interpreter: Miss Reynolds, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of Japan's homeless and destitute, the Emperor begs you carry an important paper, in fact, peace negotia- tions to the Czar of Russian I sprang to my feet in asonishment, perhaps my firm determination
