A JAPANESE LOVE STORY At one end of the long street forming tho village of Morloka, la Japan, stood ine low thatched cottage In which the sis ters O-Subaaud Nlya lived with a widowed aunt. Their Lather had fallen lu battle. and his wifo oon followed, him to the grave, committing her children to the care of their only remaining relative. O-Suba. the cider, was a brunette, with sparkling black eyes and white teeMi that shone be tween full ruddy lips. She was -taller than Ntya, who was fair and slight, with num blue eyes and a soft voice For over a s ear O-Suba luid been be trothed to Kanipel, the son of a neighbor ing rarmcr. Their parents had arranged the matter. Tliongh it wan not mado formal by an exchange of presents, tho young people regarded It as setthxl; and the marriage wns deferred only until Kampei returned from a campaign against u icu 1'iiiu.e, in nmtu lie niu W 1UUUW his lord, his father being too old to take the field. When tho young man called on tho sta ters in order to eay adieu, he was morti fled by O-Suba's manner, which seemed to show that she regarded his absence as a reprieve; and his face betrayed his feclr ings. Do not look thus, good Kampei, before your commander!" she said laughingly. "He will think you h coward. Go and win booty and como back covered with glory. Who would not bo a soldier rather than a mean "farmer.", sho cried with ani mation. "A warrior is a gentleman, has his pocket full of bright silver and is esteemed by his lord. . Go, Kampei; I shall uespise you u you hesitate!" Kampei was stung by her tones and rose hastily. A deep sigh reached him, and ou turning around he saw Mya sitting in a corner of the room, her face buried in the loose sleeves of her robe. "Farewell, Niya," ho said. - A sob rose iu tho girl's throat as 6ho re plied, "Farewell, Kampei. And remem ber," she faltered, "that if anything oc curs to you, Iwe shall bo broken hearted." "You will not forget mo, O-Snba? ' It will cheer mo to know that." "I shall no forget you," Bhe said im patiently; and the young man left, catch ing a glance as he closed the garden gate of O-Suba waving a gay adieu, and of Nlya with her face hidden in her hands. ' One day, a few months k after Kam pel's departure, his mother called at the cottage, and after relating a pitiful tale of bad harvests, poverty and debt, said that her husband, who was in feeble health, would be sent to prison if she could not . 1 -1. - 1 .1 si uuwuu vi&utj iijw, auu tu ueggeu J- Suba, as her son's betrothed, to at least lend that sum to her. O-Suba treated the poor woman harshly, refused the money and reminded her visitor that as - presents are not yet exchanged their marriage must not be regarded as certain. Niya in vain urged her aunt V apply a portion of her little fortuno to the farmer's relief. Her . relatives were obdurate, and the old woman was going away , sadly, when the younger girl sprang up, thrust her feet Into her sandals and hurried after the visitor, overtaking her before she reached the gate. - -. "When ruust you have the . money" she asked, . - - . t "Withih three days, Niya." "You shall have it," said the girl; and escaping from the thanks and blessings of the old woman, she returned to the house. She threw herself on tho mat in a corner, clasped her hands and puckered her brow thoughtfully. Suddenly sho uttered a joyous cry. The screens were drawn back, leaving the whole front of the house open; and Nlya saw a pair of swallows fly into the room and perch on the spaco between tho wall and the 'ceiling, chirping and chattering togctheHlrusilj; i i ' I "Seei sister,. the pretty birds are' going to build; ''good fortuno'will 'be x ours. Sh h h! Dear O-Suba, do not disturb them!" and she laid her hand imploringly on her sister's arm as O-Suba laughed at her enthusiasm. ' " -. Niya sat there eagerly watching tho movements of the birds and their many Eights to and fro while building their nest." Her relatives went out soon after and Niya, after a long look at tho still busy swallows, dressed herself and went out, too. When O-Suba and her aunt re turned Niya was not at homo and it wus jonrr oeiore uiev saw ucr iace. ,' - ' When tho army to which Kampct be longed was disbanded his comrndes gave themselves up to revelry, while he, eager to seo OSuba and anxious to sco about his parents, of whose troubles he had heard, hastened homeward. . Ho vras within a short day's journey of his native village, when toward sunset ho reached a tea house bearing on one of the posts tho sign "Chaya of tho Verdant Cherry Blossom." The screens forming tho front were thrown back, showing the. wholo insido of the house, divided into apartments by movable partitions; and in one of the rooms a number of "gentlemen retainers" sat drinking, their songs reach ing the passers by mingled with the noise of their quarrels. As Kampei cast away outsido the ve randa his dusty sandals 6ome of the fe male attendants ran out to meet him with cries of welcome. to walk inside and rest) sir. Tho sun is hot, the roads are parched and you must be weary. We have liquor of Tensuii and Satsuma tobacco and fragrant tea." With many bows they led him into an unoccupied 'room,- and when food , and drink were placed before him ho-was left alone. He was soon waited on. by another gitl, who came to- inquire" if he wanted anything more, and Kampei was astound-, ed to recognize in- th$ new comer Niya but not tho. Niya in quiet attire,-with downcast looks, whom he left behind at Morioka, 1 She had gay clothes; . her hair was adorned with Jarge gold headed pins and her face powdered. ;, . ' , ... 1 - Nlya drew back in confnsion on seeing Kampei; then, collecting herself, she ad vanced, and, pretending not to recognize him, said: "A gentleman of the army of chastisement Is welcome to the chnya. We aro thankful that he deigns to honor our humble house by stopping here," Kampcl's face was grave as ho asked: 'How Is this, Niya? Has misfortune over taken you fainllx. that O-Sub and your, aunt have permitted you feubecotne a menial In K te hosuet' " i. The girl lirmg her head, trot Kil not answer. Had he been merely scornful at her loss oTcast, she could bedeilant; but lie was evldeiuJy sorry for hex. "Why have jxm done thl, Ntyar' the yonng man rontiuued reproachfully, 'lou were not in poverty; twu were Lai: py; why, then, did you leave Lome or sucu tat occirjaailou as this.'" Niya looked at tho mats silently. Her Up quivered, 41 blush that mounted from her throat to Lrr forehead luded away, pursued by a (deadly palcncHs, and her limbs trembled x much .that she dropped on the ground and hid tier face In her broad tdeevea. Au old man ntored from the veranda. and, after bowing to Kampei, descried the girl motloDlesM, with her head leaning agauist a ruirtixlott. "Howl" 1ms cried, angrily, moping in this vruy with the house full of guests- troublesome fellows, -too, like those sam wrai, who curse and threaten tf they are delayed but one moment. Up this in stant, I say, or I shall use my whip on your shoulders!" Niya seemed glad to escape from Kan pel's questions, auu sue withdrew, fol lowed by the master of the house. Drawing tlie tobacco stand toward 1dm Kampei filled and lit his pipe, and while smoking puzzled himself in endeavoring to explain Niya4 presence there. The singing in the adjoining chamber grew more boisterous, and sometimes Kampei heard the clash of swords, the voices of the frightened attendants, and the en treaties of the proprietor. It all jarred on the young man's feelings, and were it possible he would have left tho place. But there were only mlserablo villages between tho chaya and Morloka, and, apart from- his fatigue, tho way was lonely and dangerous on account of rob bers. He strolled to tho buck of the inn, and pursued a little flagged path toward rustic summer house erected on r.n arti ficial mound. A slight railing on either side divided the path from the garden, where the summer chrysanthemums, tho peonies and pinks wero bursting into bloom, while the camellia, azalea and primrose gave forth their expiring strength in a few delicate flowers. Some- late violets peeped timidly from the shadow of a huge rock; around tho lattice work of tho summer house vine tendrils struggled with dainty clematis, and cherry blossoms, from which tho house was named, bloomed in gay profusion everywhere. Sitting there in the silence of the even ing, the soft-landscape spread out beneath. him, tho odor of the garden mounting to tho arbor, Kampei almost forgot his re cent annoyance and indulged in pleasant dreams of the future. Dusk was advanc ing, when he was startled by seeing Niya, who had approached noiselessly, standing in tho doorway.' Sho uttered a little scream on finding the summer house occu pied, and was about to go away, when Kampei recalled her and desired her in a harsh voice to sit down. She obeyed, the blood meanwhile mounting indignantly to her forehead; and when Kampei looked severely at her sho hastily brushed away the traces of recent tears and said defi antly: "Frown not thus, good Kampei; I am not O-Suba, your betrothed; I am only Niya. Are not my parents dead? And who, then, will dare to reprove me if I do what I please? Go to Morioka, Kampei, and let you and O-Suba forget the wretched Niya, who will never return to her home." , She rose to her feet while speaking and was about to leave, when Kampei again stopped her and said sorrowfully: "You have chosen a mean calling that your parents would have rejected as vul gar and disgraceful; their spirits are dis pleased, and you can no more visit their tombs or pray before the god shelf with a peaceful mind. There was a time that I thought I loved Niya more than O-Suba, and now yah, yahl" he continued scorn fully, after a pause, "get away, you low creature I You are no longer anything to me but the miserable tea house attend-anti"- He turned away from her with a gesturo of anger. She clasped her hands to her sido and staggered against the frail wood-- work, making the . whole structuro tremble;' then, looking at him wildly, she uttered a , heartbroken cry and rushed down the path, past tho house and across the broad road. Kampei followed the girl with his eyes, and, when he saw her climb tho bank on the roadside and spring into the river flow ing slowly beyond, he muttered to himself: "The death of a dog is good enough lor one with so mean a soul!" But better thoughts quickly came, and he determined to try and save her. Niya rose to the surface of the water, and her clothing buoyed her for some mo ments. She did not struggle, but kept her hands thrust into tho sleeves of her robe. Sho sank agaiu in tho smooth current, and as her face became buried her fortitude deserted her, and sho threw up her arms with a stifled shriek. I'he bubbles that marked the spot where she sank were almost gone when Kampei reached the bank, divested of his sandals and outer garments. Ho sprang into the stream, and succeeded in seizing tho drowning girl, who, though nearly in sensible, grasped him tightly about the neck, hindering his movements. Kampei, finding tho place shallow, put his feet upon the ground, but to his terror they sank into deep mud, and he felt tho water gradually rising upon him. Ho strained every muscle, but the water still mounted until they were both covered. A roar ns of thunder filled his ears, and his head seemed about to burst, but ho managed to preserve some coolness. By a violent effort ho loosened Niya's frantic embrace, and, still grasping her clothing, struggled out of the mud and gained a Arm foothold, exhausted and gasping for breath. ' Though his strength was almost gone and his knees tottered, he held Niya to his breast, looking anxiously into her face. Her eyes were closed, and her head fell heavily on his arm, tho hair, from which tho fastenings were gone, falling over- his shoulder In a thick mass. and floating on tho stream. Tho incident had been observed from the chaya, and a number of men now stood on the bank, by whose aid tho two were soon placed ia 8f0ety. When Kam pei had seen the girl restored to anima tion and given In charge of the f emalo servants, he was forced to Join tho other guests, by whom he was clapped on tho shoulders and praised as a hero. ire slept soundly until awoke by 'the harsh sound of the shutters being moved in their grooves and by tho sunlight pouring in through the scmltransparent screens. ' Being desirous of avoiding Nlya be did not wait for breakfast, but set out at once. Kampei was overjoyed on reaching home to And his parents well and happy, their only troublo since his departuro having been that caused by the avarice of their landlord. lie was pained to hear of O-Suba's unfeeling words on tho occasion of his mother's visit to the. cottage, and the old lady's-story made It evident that the subsequent scodinjf oMhc. money was chiefly -duo to NiyaS intercession. Then it occurred to him that the girl's present position might be owing to a quarrel with her relative on this very subject, and the idea made Mm remorseful. Finally be wsi Informed that, despite her" engage ment to him, O-Suba bad during his ab sent) found another lover, a Kuropean trader at one of the rrts, with hair and beard goldcu as 'the tresses of the sun goddess, and that tbere were rumors of their approaching marriage. His thought turned to poor Niya, neg lected by tier relatives, insulted by him and left to battle alone with a world that Is so cruel to the weak. Kampei long lay awuke that night, and the result of bis meditations was made known to his parents when he sprang irom bis mat soon alter daybreak. The old couple approved of his proposals, and went to tho veranda to say farewell, and to watch bim fondly as lie walked with n light step towards tho highway, tying un der his chin as he went his conical broad brimmed straw hat. Before he had gone far his father called him back. "Take my purse, son," lie said; "chaya keepers are very bard to deal with unless they seo the money bag in your hand. You will find in this tho gold pieces you brought nome yesterday." The sun was still high in the heaveas when Kampei stopped at the "Chaya of the Verdant Cherry Blossom," and, after exchanging salutations with tho proprie tor, begged to see the girl Niya. She was brought into his presence, looking palo and alarmed, and casting timid glances at the young man from under her long lashes. Her hands played nervously with her robe and she looked about anxiously for a place as far as possible from Kampei. "Niya," ho said, "lam not angry with you, but I waat to know why you left home." A faint cry was her only reply. "Had I any connection with it I, Kam pel?" The girl wrung her hands and turned her face away, looking distressed, with out, however, uttering a word. "Would you like to como homo again. little Niya?" ho went on in an encouraging voice. "Yah, yah! you are too fast, youngsirl' broke in the master, who was sitting on the veranda smoking, and listening to Kampei. "lou are too fast. She is mine for two years. I have the agreement signed by herself, with her receipt for the money." . t. "Money!" cried Kampei. "She lias 6old herself, then. But," he continued more calmly, "I am willing to pay you back again. See," and saying this he drew out his purse, showing to tho mas ter of the house a number of gold coins "How much was It, I pray you, good sir?" "Eighty riyos," the host replied. "Eighty riyos," echoed Kampei, a light dawning upon him. "Why," the host went one angrily. -mac is me very purse in wmcn 1 gave tho girl the money, and yet you pretend not to know that she is lound to me! What is the meaning of this deceit?" Kampei recoiled. All was now plain to him. To save his parents from ruin, . his father probably from death, this poor girl, tenderly reared, sold herself into virtual slavery, where exhausting labor, ill treat ment, even stripes, would bo her lotl And ho had almost allowed her to drown her self when driven mad by his taunts! Poor Niya! And she did this for was it for his parents or for him? The question made him thoughtful Meanwhile Niya, her forehead pressed against the partition, sobbed. The mo ment she longed for had arrived. Kampei now knew why she was there, knew that it was for his sake she left her dear vil lage. Yet she was frightened. What business had she to Interfere in the affairs of grown people? What "did she know of the great world that she should face it so lightly? Above everything there was Kampei only a few feet from her, looking at her most Intensely she knew it with out turning around; she felt his gaze pierce her thero was Kampei and what should she do? Kampei rose, moved to Niya's sido and whispered: "Was it for my sake you did this, Niya?" " Why should I do it for you?" she re plied, evasively. ... "Niya," he said, looking sharply at her. "I am no longer affianced to O-Suba: she loves a fair haired foreigner, and is about to marry him." She turned quickly, her cheeks glowing. her eyes sparkling through tears like the eun through mist, and in the happy smile that lit, up her face Kampei read her secret. ' m' - 'Then you love me!" he -cried, and Niya's smile and blush said "Yes." "You did not consult the girl's rela tives," said tho young man, turning to the host. . "Sho told mo she had none," stam mered tho other, alarmed for tho legality of his agreement. "Destroy the indenture, and receive back your money, good sir. I beg," said Kampei. The tea house keeper agreed, and, wlrilo the two men drank a cup together ho confided to Kampei that he was not sorry to cancel the bargain, as tho girl did not suit. . "Sho moped too much," he said; 'she had some hidden grief the cause of which," he added, with a smile, "I can now divine." O-Suba and her husband left Morioka, and went to livo in ono of tho open ports; and Kampei and Niya after their marriage occupied thecottago formerly tenanted by tho sisters. They now have threo chil dren, whom their relatives combine to ruin by indulgcuce; and the eldest, a sturdy boy, already speaks of the time when he will wear his father's sword, and tako his place in fighting against the enemies of tho mikado.

V; . A VICTORY FOR STANFORD. HE IS NOT OBLIGED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS PROPOUNDED. The VmcMo Railway Commlwl! Merely Hoard of Inquiry with K Judicial Tower Elaborate Opinion Delivered by Juttkw Field f the United States SupretM Court, Bah Francisco, Aug. 20. Justice Field, of the United States supreme court, detyvered his opinion Monday morning in the matter of the petition of the Taclflo railway com mission to compel Senator Leland Stanford t o answer certain questions respecting the Central Pacific railway manage ment, and particu larly to explain cer. tain vouchers of the railway comp a n and whether a n money represented in certain unez plained vouo her was used to influ- jPBTicr field. euoe national state legislation. Tlie matter was argued be fore Justice Field, setting with United States Circuit Judge Sawyer and United States District Judges Hoffman and Sabin last Monday. The chief question raised was to determine the power of the railway commis sion to compel the witnesses in question to auswer their querios, In his decision, which is concurred in - by Jude Sawyer and Judga Sabin, Justice Field says the question has been fully ar gued, olid that in resisting the motion the counsel of the respondent have not confined themselves to a discussiou of the propriety and necessity of the interrogatories and the sufficiency of the answers given by him, but they have assailed the validity of the act creating the commission so far as it author izes an examination into the private affairs of the directors, officers, and employes of the Central i acino Railroad company and con ferring the right to invoke the power of the federal courts In aid of a general Investiga tion as directed. He then goes on to say that the commission is not a judicial body in any degree, but mere board of inquiry with power to invoke the aid of the courts to compel attendance of witnesses, their answer of proper questions and production of panrs, books, eta He then says: Few rights are of greater lmpDrtanca or more essential to his piece and happiness than the right of personal security, and that involves not merely the protection of his person from assault. but exemption of his private affairs, books, and papers from the inspection and scrutiny of others. V ithout the enjoyment of this right all other rights would lose half their value, The law provides for compulsory production la progress of judicial proceedings as by direct suit for that purpose, of such documents as affect the Interest of others, and also In certain cases for the suizure of criminating papers necessary for this prosecution of offenders against public jus tice, and only one of these ways can they be ob tained and their contents made known against the will of the owners. Reference is then made to the cases of Boyd vs. the United States (110 U. S. 610) and Hal- let Kilbourne vs. Thompson (113 U. S. lttft in which the right of the citizen in this re spect involved and sustained by the su preme court of the United States, and the compulsory pro duction of papers or evidence regarding the citizen's private business was declared to have no place in a free government In the Kilbourne case leland Stanford. the decision was practicallr aeratnst the national house of reDresentatives. which had ordered him confined In jail because be would not answer questions at the bar of the house. Upon this point the justice aid: .. . The courts are open to the United States as they are to a private citizen and both can there secure, by regular proceedings, ample protection of all the rights and Interests which are entitled to protection under the government of the writ ten constitution and laws. Recurring to the case of the commission the opinion proceeds: me act or. congress not only authorizes a rearchlnfr investigation Into the methods, af fairs, and business of the Central Pacific Railroad company, but it makes It the duty of the railroad commission to inquire into, to ascertain, and re port whether any of the directors, officers. enipoyes of that company have been or are now directly or Indirectly InterestedN 1 and to what amount or extent In any other railroad, steamship, tele graph, express, mining construction, or other business company or corporation, and with which any agreements, undertaking, or leases have been mode or entened Into. There are over 100 officers, principal and minor, of tho Central Pa cing railroad company, and nearly fi,000 em ployes. It is not unreasonable to suppose that a large portion of these the have same interest as stockholders or otherwise In some other company or corporation, with which railway company they have an agremeent of some kind, ond It would be difficult to state tho extent to which an exploration of tho commission .Into the private affairs of these pei-sons may not go If tho man date of the act could bo fully cart led out. Tho commission Is limited in its Inquires Into the interest of these directors, officers and em ployes in any other buMnesH, company or corpor ation to snch matters as these persons may choose to disclose. They can not bo compelled to open their books and expose such other business to the inspection and examination of the commission. They were not prohibited from engaging in any other business because of their Interests In and connection with the Central Pacific Railroad company, and that other business might as well bo tho const met ion and management of other rail roads, ns the planting of vines or raisinir of fruit. in which some of these directors and officers and employes have been In fact engaged, and they are entitled to the same protection and exemption from Inquisitorial Investigation into such business as any other citizens engaged in like business.
