1 Osaixa San's
Adventure
By Cor\slar\ce D'Arcy Mackay

It was a bright spring noon. Sun
light pound down over the quaint glis
tening r<> >f.-s of the little town of Yac
co. Mists rose and melted from the
encircling rice fields. The perfume of
cherry Mc soms was upon the wind—
an erratic wind that blew In breath
snatching puff- and twirled the little
fans in the black polished coiffure of
Osaua San as she toddled daintily
along the street in her lacquered san
dals. Her blue and gold kimono caught
the sunlight with a gleam. Her huge
red sash, tied in a butterfly bow, added
a daring note of color, and her gayly
flowere.l paper parasol made just the
background for her delicate oval face.
Her skin was tlie cream of Ivory
faintly tinted with rose. Her mouth
was like a scarlet lily, and her slanting
eyes were like dark jewels—very som
ber. but with a brilliant plint in their
depths.
"She looked as if she had stepped
straight out of the 'Mikado' or off a
Satsuma vase." declared Mrs. Carrlng
j ton, the wife of the American consul,
' glancing up from the luncheon table to
watch the passing of Osana San. "She
i is the very essence of this beautiful
I Japan."
"She's delicious," agreed Mr. Car-
J rington. "And the American words
I and phrases you have taught her make
i her doubly so. She gives a twist to
them that is all her own. I tell you.
Alice, she could teach our American
women a good many things—she's so
demure and quiet and contented."
Yet, hurt Mr Carrington hut known
1 it, content -d was precisely what Osana
j San was not. A perfect crater of un
i rest burned in Iter little soul. Iler
blood raced in time to the pulse of
spring, and as she walked through the
I pleepy. half deserted streets of Yacco
I there was nothing in the world for
which she longed so much as for an
| adventure, anil site had her wish. As
she pas e i th door of a teacup shop

them with a quick blink. When she
opened them, she saw a tall man in
j blue serge standing in front of her. He
1 was boMiug her parasol.
"I think this is yours," he said, smil
ing pleasant y.
"A tliousi <1 thank yous," murmured
(Man: San n her very best English. "I
I fear my hu ; le parasol has given your
1 >us s • 112 a great trouble."
"A gr.Mt p'easure, believe me," he
answered hei. with a long look at
Osa l Sm. h<- raised his hat-and went

j bad told her. She gazed at it, fasci
nated. And then a wild idea took pos
session of her. She wondered how It
would seem to sit on the cushioned
leather seat: Slit* gave a hurried
glance up and down the street. There
was no one in sight. In the teacup
shop the young American was busily
selecting china. His back was turned
toward her lie would never know.
Swiftly sit - made up her mind and
stepped into the motor.
"Now I am like an American girl,"
she said to herself, intoxicated with
j the newness of the thing. She heard
' a heavy step in the shop behind her
j and started up guiltily. Her moment
; of stolen sweetness was over. But alas
' for Osana ; !, in! In her haste the wide
, sleeve of her kimono caught on the
' lever of the In•'<•'»111:• She jerked It.

ii.. .-.i- trie i. ine result was a
1-1 ' ; " II mi c. lu.ik!" ear piercing and
terrible. Osana San crouched on the
si i vith a sob of utter despair and
he'f.le.wue s. On and on she went,
I i rice fields and low lying marshes
where cranes flew, calling dismally to
one anotli.T; past little thatched farm
houses sheltered from the midday
glare by clumps of graceful bamboo
o vimi San was becoming desperate.
Smieihiu; must be done. Gathering
her courage together, she pushed and
liulled at all the contrivances she could
lay hands on, and luck favored her.
In front of a lonely wayside temple
the motor came to a sudden stop.
With a great breath of relief, Osana
Sin alighted. Tears were still glisten
ing on her cheeks. "Here in the shad
ow of the temple 1 will be safe," she
said, "and I will wait till the august
and hmorable stranger comes for his
n.'ist terrifying machine."
Mm when the stranger, whose name
was Douglass Morton, arrived In a .liu
rikisha some hours later, lie found
Osana San cuddled up on the temple
s'eps. fast asleep.
"Poor little frightened butterfly!" he
murmured. "Thank heaven she's safe!
It's a pity to waken her."
Osana San opened her eyes and saw
him bending over her.
"Most august." she faltered, "my
name is Osana San. and my unworthy
euriosit.i
"That's all right." Morton said heart
ily. "I mderstood how It happened
and all you're going to tell me. except
how In thunder yon had wit enough to
stop tiie machine. Since you're safe,
nothing else matters, and I bless all
the gods of Japan that this road is ns
straight as a string. Otherwise —well,
we won't think of that. Besides, there
Is much el- • to talk of. I»o you be
lieve i:i I >vi> at first sight, Osana San?"
Osana S.ui shook her glossy head.
"My poor intelligence does not com
prehend your illustrious words," she
answered.
Morton laughed.
"I haven't time to pick it out of the
phrase book now," he said, "but I'll
explain it later if it takes me all the
rest of my life to do it, or perhaps
Mr. Carriugton. the American consul,
will explain it for me. He knows my
family, and he ought to do me a good
turn. You won't be afraid to ride back
with me. will you, Osana San? The
auto can't run away with you now, you
know."
So back they went to Yacco, while
the shadows of night deepened among
the bamboo, aiul tiie moon rose, look
ing as large and red as a paper lan
tern. And a we -k later, in the Car
rlngtons' pvett.v drawing room, Doug
lass Morton urged his impetuous suit.

An Ksti-aordlnary Migration.
One of the greatest mysteries to sci
entists. one for which there seems to
be no reasonable explanation, Is that
concerning the migration of the lem
ming. or Norway rat. Instead of tak
ing place once a year, these migrations
occur only once In eleven years. When
the time comes fox the exodus the lit
tle animals journey westward from
Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop
their movements, which virtually
amount to a head'ong flight. They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains In incalculable
numbers, devastating the whole coun
try through which they travel. Natu
ralists attribute the movement to some
inherited memory of a flight to escape
an expected cataclysm, but this seems
somewhat far fetched.
