f
a ROMANCE OF JAPAN.
Karuka, the Savior of HIa Coun
try, and His "Eta" Bride.
Long, long rtgo, during the "im mor
tal" era of Japanese history, there
livod in the city of Yeddo, a young no
ble named Karuka. Although barely
twenty-five years of ago he had proved
himself ro skillful a General and so
dauntless a warrior that he wns re
garded as one of the grandest and
truest sons of that splendid country
which to this day artists, pouts, and
boUts worship under the title of Dal
Nippon. Young Karuka was as handsome and
accomplished as he w as brave and rich.
The legend says that he wns tall and
slim, strongly and symmetrically built
with the oval face, the almond eyes,
had the arched eyebrows, which con
stitute nnuilv beauty in .lapau. Me was
a skillful archer, a bold fencer, an ex
port swordsman, a daring rider, who
had ascended the steep steps of the
"Men's l'ath" up the hill of Antaugo
on a liorv steed; a good musician,
well versed in the ballad and legend
lore of h s land in fact, he was a Jap
anese Admirable Crichtou.
Now, among all the damsels who
sighed and pined for him there was
on In particular who really loved him.
She was the daughter of one of the
proudest Hatla-Mutos, or imporial body
guard; she Mas beautiful and accom
plished, and had rejected many noble
lovers-who had come from distant
provinces to sue for her hand, all for
the love of Karuka,
And yet the could produce no Im
pression upon his heart Nevertheless,
O Kiri such wat the lady s name so
far from beiug reunited, only prose
outed her suit With greater ardor.
When a woman disappointed in love,
tavs the old adage, takes to brooding in
solitude and silence, good rarely comes
of It And it was so iu tho case of U
Kiri.
She began to suspect Karuka, al
though after long watching she had not
been able to trace the ob'eot of his af
fections and was assured that it could
be nobody in his usual circle of ac
quaintance. One evening she was watching tho
movements ol KarukVs shadow behind
the paper shutters of his room from her
usual observatory behind the azalue
bushes. IS lie saw him dress his hair in
ordinary plebeian fashion, she saw the
n'urt) ol a retainer approach kneeling
with an uiuiisiittguishatile mas in his
arms, sho saw Karuka change his cloth
ing for what the retainer had brought,
' aud place a common broad-brimmed
iKilie hat on his head. Then the sh ut
ters weie opened, aud by the light of
the oil wick in 'lie room 0 Kiri saw her
idol attired from bead to foot in com
mon workman's costume.
Her heart .tank within her, for her
woman's keenness told her that he was
m some caval.er expedition. Presently
the retainer, w hom O Kiri recognised
as Karuka's chief steward, fastened a
pair of common straw sandals on his
wet, slung an ordiuary carpeuier'i bag
over bis shoulders, aud. with profound
obeisance, left him. O Kin's heart
neat wildi as she watched Karuka
eroa the castle yard stealthily and
swiftly, rather as a criminal flying
from justice than a great 'lord
in his own domain. She waited until
lie bad got through the gateway and
then darted after him. Keeping him in
sight shs followed bim along ail kinds
ol evil bark-lanes and by-streets, the
ra n soaking into her thin robes, and
(ha rmusual exertion of walking thickly
over uneven ground on high clods
wounding ber delicate feet. The people
tared at ber, as null they might, but she
kept on, past the great temples of ShiDa,
vast the catle of the great lord of Snu
uroa, pat those scattered hill temples
which after ard became European le
gations, until they arrived at the dirty.
bad suburb of HMnngawa. Karuka
went some way down tho crnwdot', evil
mulling street then stopped '
shop, in the ' front of which elos. and
and ills were expood for sale, ami en
lere.l, crving ( Ihna! 0 liana!" Un
der the iieep shadow of a projecting
c ive on the other sido of the street O
Kiri saw a br'ght evcd. fresh-faced girl
of eighteen eome forward at Karuka's
summons, affectionately greet him, and
tli-spjear Into the house with hi in.
Kage and grief seized O Kiri when
lie saw th s. She leaned for support
against the wooden shutters of the
house, her hand tightly grasping the
bilt of the small dagger which all Jap
aneso ladies carried with them w hen
they went abroad, and half resolved to
ruth Into the house and slay this com
mon U liana who had stepped in be
tween her and her love.
But she thought that deliberate re
venge would be better than sudd -n out
rage, and so returned home.. The next
day she sent a servant down to Inquire
aiiotit O liana's people, The answer
came that they were Eta the pariahs
of Japanese soci' ly, despised and in
sulted by the very" beggars, the lowe
of the low a tribe who live distinc:
from all others, and whose business il
is to execute criminals, kill animals,
aud to make clogs and sandals.
"So," muttered 0 Kiri. "this will h
pretty news for the nitv. that lb') head
of the great Karuka family loves an
Eta woman! This is pleasant for me to
see, that I, in whose , veins runs the
blood of the Immortals, um set aside in
favor of a commor outcast wench! L
will be sufficient to proclaim his con
nection to disgrace him, but I want
more than disgrace; I want and will
have revenge."
But she determined to have a practi
cal proof at home of his affection for
O liana before rcsoitiug to extremes.
So she desired her father to call on Kar
uka in state, knowing that in the course
o' a week Karuka would be obliged to
return the visit Iheu she vent a serv
ant to 0 liana's shop to command her
to bring for iupection a number of the
best black lacquered e ogs in prepara
tion for the New Year s festivities. So
O HtJia's father brought the clogs up
the next dav, but O Kiri abused bim
for daring to come into the presence of
a lady, and commanded him to send a
woman to wait upon a lady. Three
times accordingly U' liana came, but as
Karuka did not happen to 1 e there 0
Kiri made some euse and ordered al
terations in order that the lovers should
be thrown together.
So when Karuka came to repay the
visit. U Kiri had so contrived that her
clog woman should be announced
Karuka came In state! with his k.tmi
shimo or winged coat on, his armor'

oxpre-sed great anger that u common

recllv she behold isaniK;i she uticrcii a
cry and sank on the mnis. KantKa's
face turned ghastly rale; he sravered
as he saw that U Kiri's eyes were lixed
on hi in.
"Dear mo. Sir Knrnka!" exclaimed
O Kill, with affected concern, what is
the matter? You start as if vou hat

Karuka stammered out some etensc,

knew that Karuka really was Intimate
with the Kta woman, perhaps but she
suuitilured to think It was her hns
band, although her teeth wore not black
ened. Now O liana, although but au Kta.
was well worthy of anv man's love. Her
father belns out at work all dav, and
her mother bedridden, upon O liana
devolved all the re ponsibilitv of the
household, and from early morning un
til la'e at night she wns incessantly at
work. Yet none of the neighbors had
ever seen her other than clean, ti.lv and
smiling. Hut when she returned h'mie
after her expedition to 0 Kiri's house,
ber cheeks were stained with tears and
her eyes red and swollen.
"0, mother!" she cried, "you know
1 have alwav" wondered whv Yoroslii,
inv lover, is always so clean and sweet.
although he works s i hard as a canvn

splendid d ess, with all his men and
standards! Oh. w hat shall 1 do? It
will bo known that 1 have dared to lv
a great lord! We shall be ruined and
disgraced!"
"Why, then, 0 liana," said the old
woman, "you must have no more in

do for yon to marry a great lor '. Hut
are you sura that it w:is he?"
Quite urc," replied O Himim. " or
for he turned pa.e, ai d a'-mst fell
back when he saw mo. Oh, nninur! I
think it will break in v heart t lose
him, for I do love him so much, and he
is so good and kind to mo!"
Iu I he evening, as she was doing her
marketing after work hours, she went
into a drug-shop lo got some clove l illit
for her mother. As a customer w as be
ing set ved she had to wait, and as she
waited she could pot help hearing bim
give very atrict directions about the
mixing of a very deadly poison
for the rats which iufested
his house. There was nothing
very remarkable In this, for the hop
wa famous for its rat poison; but w hen
O' liana looked at the man. who was t
tall, broad-shouldered fellow, she rec
ognized one of the retainers who had
admitted her to the great lady's house
the day before.
Karuka came that night as usual.
O liana, of course, was bound to be
have differently now that she knew who
he really was. She would uot remove
her (orehcad from the mats until he im
plored her. She used the honoritii
"Sama" when she addressed him, or
rather when she replied to his remarks.,
for it is directly against ctiuiic lie and
custom for an inferior to address ques
tions or initiate remarks to a superior. Id
-ain he as-u red her that 'he great love hr
bore her made them equal; in vain he
proteted scainst her humility aud self
abasement, and declared that he wa
otilv wairing for the New-Year s festival
to pass over in order to make h r bU
wile aud take her a ay to his castle ir
the pleasaut land of ToVa. No prayers,
no exborta'ions, no reassuring of bit
could pirauade the simple, bumble
niiuded girl that a great lord could evei
be the equal of a despised Kta. j
At longlh he arose and prepared to
faxe his leave; thimshe said:
' Oh, my most honorable lord, y ur
servant craves permission tj tay onr
thing to you. This afternoon, as" yom
servant was at the dreg shop', then
came In a retainer of tho house of h
most honorable lady o.r yi- tel ye tur

servant is unworthy to say uuy more:
your lordship will und r-autid (hat she
tells you in good latin.
'ion areagood, true lUile o.W," said
Karuka. "I understand what you
mean, and I will beware."
Then he bade her as affectionate a
farewell as she would let him, and
turned homeward musing deeply on all
that had taken place.
The next day a present arrived at
Karuka'i castle from the father oiO
Kiri. It was a large, straw-bound cil.
bearing upon it the impress of the red
carp, which betokened, the famou
Yebizdai wine, accompanied ' by tin
Lady 0 Kiri's good wishes. He thought
of what 0 liana bad told him on the
previous evening, and. ordering a serv
ant to bring a rabbit in from the gar
den, poured out some of the wine and
gave it to the animal; the rabbit died in
violent convulsions in less than ten m n
uU's. So Karuka wrote the following
leiter to 0 Kiri:
Madam: The wine you an' to me ha
preaent was poisoned. I know you wih lo
be avenxed on me. Bewaie! If 1 proclaim
vou aa a murder It were worae for von
t.u. I Mfmilit hu l,,r m If Vftll lir'iclnlinilf
the fact of my being betrothed to an htt,i Vj
4 ' KauuKa.
Some weeks elapsed. During that
time all Intercourse be'weeo 0 Kiri and
her family and Karuka ceasetl, and
Karuka, with much trouble, had man
aged to conquer O liana's scruples, and
to make her bis wile privately. B I
Karuka saw that the secret wr.s known.
His old friends deserted him; his very
retainers resigned their situations, re
fusing to bear tho crest of a lord who
had sullied his name forever; all but the
old steward, who had served Karuka's.
father, and who swore that he
never would desert the son.
Gradually he found himsel:
ostracized and alone. Burning with
resentment he strode off one day with
the intention of making arrangements
to take 0 liana away to his count'-
house In tho piovince of Toss. A few
paces from his gate he met the young
lYinee of Nsgato at the head of a burnt
of retainers, who, as well as their mas
ter, were evidently in liquor.
"Ah, Karuka!" cried the young
Prince, who had never borne Karuka
very much good will since the day the
latter had unhorsed him at the tilting
yard. "Going to see your Eta sweet
hoai't, I suppose. What a proud race
the future Karukas will be."
The blood rushed to Karuka's face'
w ith one sweep he drew the famou
Muramasa blade, which he had so
gloriously used in his country's cause,
and cut the young I'rinco to the ground.
Nagato's retainers, seeing their lord
w lleri'ig in his blood, ru-hed on ha
ruka with savage yells. But they luic
to ileal with the boldest and most sk'll
fnl swordsman in .Japan, and Karuka
edgiug slowly back so titat he sto-sl
aai'ist the wall, laid about bim witli
such good will that in a few minutes
hah' a dozen of his assailants were
writhing on the ground, and the rest
ha 1 m ade off.
But Karuki know now that nothing
remained to him but instant (light, lor
all Yeddo would know that uotonjv hscl
he Insulted his order by miirryfng ar
Kta. but that ha had grievously wounii
ed the young Prince oi N'agato, and, I
he we'd taken, not only would he be
publicly disgraced, but he would suffer
the ik'Ht.'l of a felon.
Aided by his faithful steward, he es
caped in disguise that evening, bnt de
termined to call upon O liana, so as to
arrangowith her where to meet Mm.
To his surprise, when he arrived at the
well-known street in Shinagnwa, he
found that the Kta people had iu turn
taken the matter up, and that O Hans
and the ch id she had burnt) to Karuka
had been obliged to fly in order to avoid
the penalties which the Etas imposod
upon such of their order as should dare
to aspir beyoud it

Four years elapsed, during whicli
time, in spile of the most diligent sea-ch
hy the Government ar.d the Nagato
family, not a trace of Karuka could be
ound. In fact, he hud taken up his
residence iu a hut whi -h ho had erected
with the help of his stew ard on a little
known slope of Oyama. near tho miser
able village of Taiiawa, and hero, free
from all intercourse with the great
world, he led a solitary life, hunting
the deer and the wild boar and compos
ing poetry, of 0 liana ho had heard
nothing-, although he bad sent his stv.
ard, wno lived in the village of Ko ias,
upon the other side of the ini niUidn. to
fearc'i for lur in all dieeeUous.
At h end of tho fourth year of his
eim .lapan became eugajed in a war
with her ancient enemy, Corea. The
gods frowned on the Japanese arms;
the "V.viinto Damashl," tiio spirit ;

So the Goernment messengers were

discovery of Karuka. Hut no one
knew of his whereabouts, aud mean
time the war went ou. with such di
giace !o the Japanese arms 'that the

Karuka's steward, who loved his
