In a moment Nasogi returned ,, "What is it, Nasogi?" asked Stanley, "The telephone calls, sir," replied the man. "Who is it?" "Mr. Clayton, sir." "Ah, how are you. Bob?" Stanley was saying over the wire. "Certainly. Delighted. Bring the whole crowd. I was going to dine alone, but Nasogi is a magician and can spread a feast for a dozen. Eightthirty. Good. Be sure to bring your fiddle. Goodby. "Nasogi, Mr. Clayton and four friends will dine with me tonight at 8.30. There will be three ladies in the company. Can you manage it in three hours?" He looked at his watch. "Most certainly, sir. It will be ready at the hour. I will go to the market again immediately." In an instant the Japanese had bowed himself from the room and Stanlev was alone. The pagoda shape of a stone lantern was outlined against the twilight space of the window and reminded Stanley of the gray day he had first seen it in a neglected garden beyond the gates of Tokyo. He had bowled out of the city until his favorite rickshaw man between the shafts, and when the first light shower came the runner had turned into a tiny tangled garden where a small house stood deserted among the plum trees. As Stanley found shelter in the veranda he spied the stone lantern nearly overgrown with some clinging vine. "Who owns this house?" he asked quickly. The runner named a man in the neirrhbnvliood. "It was his daughter e~~ ? -- w who lived in the house with her husband. They were newly married, and they called it 'the abode of peace and joy.' But the husband went away to war, and he never came back. The daughter lives with her parents, an inconsolable widow, and the little house is a place of sorrow." Stanley thought over the little tragedy that had been briefly played out here, and then when the rain had stopped he sought the house of the owner and found it easy to purchase the stone lantern. As lie dressed for dinner he wondered idlv who the girl was that the Claytons were bringing with them. Bob had said it was a friend of his wife's, and Mrs. Clayton had so many friends it was useless to puzzle his head over that. The other couple were the Lestors. The Claytons and the Lesters were his most intimate friends and had been Celia's, too, before she and Stanley had quarreled and separated, uena had returned to her parents, and Stanley had gone to Japan and lately had returned to occupy the studio alone. Years of travel and hard work had not softened the blow of Celia's desertion after the bitter, foolish little disagreement. He had written once, but she had never replied to it. Exactly at 8:30 the elevator stopped at his floor, and Xasogi threw open the studio door to announce the guests. Maud Clayton and Bessie Lester came in tirst, and close behind them was a third figure, at the sight of which Stanley's heart jumped into his throat and stayed there for awhile. '"Shall we take off our things in here, Ethan?" called Mrs. Clayton over her shoulder, one hand on D is bedroom door. "Certainly! You all know the way. Cclia," lie found time to murmur as her hand rested in his for a brief instant, "this is a surprise?a pleasant surprise." "I am glad you feel so," she breathed quickly. "They urged me to come, and I gave way to the impulse." Then she had disappeared with the other women, while her husband joined the men at the fireplace. At table there was much curiosity about the stone lantern. Ethan Stanley, with a slight stiffening of his shoulders, proceeded to tell his guests the story of the stone lantern. | "And so," he said in conclusion J lis eyes avoiding L'elias wistful f:aze, "'the abode of peace and joy ics desolate. The widow, broken hearted because her loved one did not return from the war, makes her home with her indulgent parents, and somewhere in Manchuria's unfriendly solitudes there lies the one who did not return. In the studio yonder is the stone lantern that lighted the garden at night when the plum trees were in bloom and when the wistaria hung in long purple clusters from the trellises. The abode of peace and joy has become hnnsp nf sad mpmorips." There was silence then for several moments. Even Nasogi had paused with extended tray, his beady eves fastened on the narrator's face with unmistakable excitement. The conversation shift- k ed to another topic and was for the moment forgotten. The Japanese moved noiselessly to and fro, the impassive mask of his face now and then breaking into queer distortions that might be construed as expressing joy or sorrow or a mingling of both. Before they adjourned to the studio for coffee aDJ while they lingered at the tabL* the Japaccse glided from the rcom. When taey entered the studio he was standing beside the lantern rubbing his hind on the stone in a manner which in any other person might have been construed as a gesture of tenderness. "Excuse!" he said diffidently as he passed from the room. Stanley eon* hie an/t fnllmvprl him into the dining room. ' What is the matter, Nasogi?" he asked quickly. "Have confidence. Remember I am your friend. Are you in trouble?" "Master, the story of the abode of peace and joy! A soldier returned ; from the wars to claim his beloved j wife. Ere he reached home he was confronted with the story that she believed him dead and had married another, and rather than disturb I his happiness and because he was jealous that she had cared so little ' for his memory the soldier turned . hack and went to the new country : that in another land he might be' come wise and great and learn to I <3 live without the love of woman. And the place he came to was a great ; city, and after a few years had passed he served a new master, one who brought into his studio the very stone lantern that had once stood : in the soldier's garden in faraway Japan. The soldier recognized it ! immediately, but he did not under, stand until he heard his master's story." v "You will want to go home at once," said Stanley heartily. "Get your things together, Xasogi, and start tonight. Come to me for . money before you go. And the lan, tern, Xasogi?you will want to restore that to the abode of peace and , joy?" "Excuse," said the Japanese softly. "If my honorable master will keep it as a recollection of much happiness he conferred upon a foolj ish servant it will cause me gratii tude. My garden will have joy and I peace even if it lacks the lantern," I lie said happily. "Mine will have the lantern, while it lacks jov and peace," said Stanley rather bitterly. But Cclia's hand was thrust through his arm, and her soft cheek rubbed against his shoulder. "Cannot we have joy and peace I and the lantern, too, dear?" she whispered. "I am so sorry, Ethan, i I wonder if 1 may not stay witli j you. I have never had a word from . you all the long years, and"? Nasogi had vanished. From the studio came the first dreamy chords from Clayton's violin and a low murmur of voices as the others talked. "Not another word, sweetheart," niumured Ethan to his wife. "We have both been to blame. We have both suffered for our folly. Together we will start anew, with the stone lantern to light our abode of peace and joy." Umbrella Morals. "You remember that silk umbrella I took from the Bingles' hall bv mistake ?" "Yes. It had such a lovely handle." "Well, (he handle was imitation, and the silk was full of holes. Why, the man that mends all my umbrellas said it wasn't worth repairing." "Dear me! What did you do with it ?" "Why, 1 was so mad I called at the Binaries' today and left it there." ?Cleveland Plain Dealer. Making a Hot Compress. In the American Journal of Nursing Elizabeth Ifobertson gives the following directions for making a hot compress: Wet the compress with tepid water, then iron it rapidly with a very hot flatiron. This produces sufficient steam to hold more heat and obviates the necessitv of wringing out excessively hot cloths. ? 't ' 1 . 4
