A Spy's
Sacrifice
By RICHARD MARKLEY
* — M
During the ware In Japan between
the adherent! of the mikado and the
shogun the mikado's troops were be
sieging a fortress which both sides
wanted, for It was la an Important
strategical position, and the troops who
occupied it were reasonably certain of
success.
But there Is one matter of Impor
tance concerning It that Is pertinent to
this story. The mikado's army was
very small, and a force of the shogun
Was coming up to the relief of the be
sieged. This force was expected with
in a week. The success of the mikado
depended upon how long his enemy's
supplies would hold out If there were
enough for but a few days the besieg
ers might main and reap the benefit
of their labors. If the provisions should
lost longer than that they would better
be off before the relief force came np
or they might be overwhelmed by a su
perior army.
To know what supplies the defend
ers of the fortress had would be of
Inestimable value to the besieged. It
meant a possible possession of the
point of attack, and it meant a preven
tion of a possible annihilation of the
emperor's army and the probable loss
of his cause.
'l'De uevouon or cue jspaneii* ptojiiw
under such circumstances la • irondn.
It is that devotion which enabled them
to force a peace upon the Russian be«tf
that had threatened to "walk all over"
their little Islands and take possession
of them. It Is that devotion that haa en
abled them to protect themselves while
cultivating the commercial methods of
western civilization.
There came a noble t» the mikado
and said to him:
"O mighty emperor, it la on ac
count of your majesty's virtue that I
feel an Impulse aprlng up within me.
My ancestors are looking down upon
me and smile pleasantly upon me as
I yield to the Inspiration. I will dis
guise myself and obtain admittance to
the fortress. There I will observe for
how many days your enemies are sup
plied, and I will return and advise you
of the fact."
"I am well pleased," replied the em
peror, "that my virtues have produced
in you such a worthy motive. Too
have my permission to go into the
fortress and observe the supply at
food our enemies have and return to
me and tell me. I will request the
shades of my own ancestors to watch
over you, but if you die In your at
tempt you will have the satisfaction of
knowing that both ui'-'e und your an
cestors will welcome yo.. In uplrltland."
So the noble prostruU-d himself be
fore his majesty and turned and went
away. That same day a man dressed
as a shepherd found access to the
fortress and went among the grana
ries and found them nearly empty.
There was food enough to last but
two days. The shepherd, satisfied with
the Information he had gained, was
about to leave the fortress when one
who had known him before the war
came on recognized him. The spy waa
seized and hurried before the ahogun.
"This man," said his captor, "is a no
ble who supports the mikado for the
position to which your majesty la en
titled. He has been among us in thta
raiment of a shepherd and knows just
how many daya' supply we have on
hand. What ahall we do with him?"
"Crucify him," said the shogun.
With that they were leading the spy
away to crucify him when the shogun
called to them to bring him back.
"If you will go to the wall," he said
to the spy, "and tell your people that
we have supplies to last several weeks
I will spare your life."
"That I will do," said the other.
"My ancestors call to me to stand Arm
and they will receive me at my death
joyfully, but I have a wife and chil
dren In the mikado's camp, and I am
loath to leave them for my ancestors,
whom I reverence greatly, but have
never seen. I am so weak as to prefer
my wife and little ones."
"Go, then; tell them what I have said
to you, and I will In time return you
to those you love."
The spy was conducted to the wall
and stood upon ft, the soldiers of the
shpgun keeping In the background. He
signaled the besiegers to come near
that ho might speak to them. 80 they
all drew as near as they dared, the
family of the spy coming with the
others. The spy stood looking at them
benignly as they drew near and saw
his wife and little ones looking up at
him anxiously, knowing that he must
have been discovered by the besieged
people and that a crisis was *t hand.
The shogun sat in tke -center of the
fortress, noticing that he had found a
means of deceiving his enemies and
sending them off when near the accom
plishment of all they had been so long
striving for. About him ktood his sol
diers waiting to hear the spy tell his
people of the abundance of supplies
there were in the fort.
Then the spy raised his hand for si
lence and said to them:
"0 my people, I have examined the
supplies that there are in this fortress,
and there are but enough to last two
days."
A thousand spears were hailed at
him. and he fell on the wall.
"O my people," exclaimed the mi
kado, "our ancestors are taking him t'
their bosoms."
Then he gave orders to move on the
fortress, aod the defenders, being dis
couraged, gave way before them, so It
was not long before the conquered peo
ple were sent to the bosoms of their
own ancestors.

Do Your Work Well.
It is necessary tbnt we work before
we can enjoy recreation, for without
work there can l>e no such thins as fu
rcation.
We are placed in a world full of work
by a wise Creator, and it in our means
of Justifying our existence to him and
our fellow men.
It is our only reliable source of per
manent happiness and contentment as
well as the means of worldly advance
ment
All work is service, cither directly or
indirectly, and I think that that feel
ing of satisfaction and contentment
that comes over us nt the end oC a
day's work well done can be traced
back to the rulo that "it is more blessed
to give than to receive." If we can
look back over our dsiy's work and feel
that we have given to it the best that
there is in us we have done everything.
This applies to the humble laborer as
well as to the highest official. The Job
doesn't matter; it is hew it is done
that counts. A day's work well done
is one of life's greatest achievements.
Do your best every day at what you
are doing now and your advancement
will take care of itself. Ke who is de
pending on some special dispensation
of Providence for his advancement is
doomed to disappointment
80 the nest time we feel that we are
tired of our work or that we have to
work too hard let's reflect that a "soft
Job will never get us anywhere," for It
la only through hard, difficult work that
the best there is In us is developed, and
therein lie our greatest opportunities.

sage between two walls specially built
