Rather Than Tarniah His Reputation For Bravery He Accepted the Prince's Invitation and Went Voluntarily to tive of the courage of the “bravis,” or i duelists, who flourished in Yeddo dur- ing the sixteenth century. forming a sort of Japanese St. Hermindad. Cho- bei, the leader of this clique, was a re- doubtable swordsman, whose constant- ly recurring duels forced his master to expel him from his retlnue. Unwilllng to enlist with another of the feudal lords, be assembled all the D’Artagnans of Yeddo about him until his power in- cited even the princes to envy, al- though they declined to recognize the outlawed duelist. On this pretense he was excluded from a popular tea house one day at an hour when was expected Juirozaye« mon, the leader of the Hatamotos, then the most influential political party in ‘Japan, who had arrogated the city of ’ Yeddo for the official residence. But Chobel. with a shrug of his shoulders, forced his way past the attendants into the apartments reserved for the prince, where he removed his garments and cast himself on a couch in feigned slumber. “Who is that brute?” demanded the prince on his arrival. “The lrpder of the swordsmen.” they answered him. .luirozayemon seated himself in silence and began to smoke. Having smoked his pipe, be emptied the glowing cin- ders into the pretended sleeper's nos- trils. repeating this live times, when he paused. astounded by such courageous endurance. Chobel. noting this. yawn- ed, rubbed his eyes like one awakening from profound slumber and exclaimed: "I ha ve so long sought your acquaint- ance that you are forgiven. Be seated and accept this cup of wine. I beg you.” V'â€" “You on most noble master! And I, having drunk too much, should have slept uncovered before your eyes! How shall I excuse my vulgarity?" Politeness forbade Chobei to refuse a drop of the proflered cup. a huge beaker of powerful wine. oflered him in the hopes of overpowering him. But Chohei drained it easily and, replenish- ing it. presented it to his host, who ac. complished this feat with the utmost difficulty. “Will'your highness permit me to ofl'er you some gift of value?" Chobei asked humbly. u “Surely." “What do you most desire?” Thinking to render the brave ridicu- low; before the whole city. the prince said promptly: “A plate of macaroni.” “Ah. Chobei." thought he. “the whole town will soon be telling how the great duelist was permitted only to offer a plate of macaroni to the president of the Ilatamotos.” After a whispered colloquy the at- tendant disappeared, leaving the two enemies alone. smiling. but impassive. But soon a great noise penetrated the apartment, and the prince discovered a crowd of workmen busily constructing an immense wall of macaroni around the tea house. All Yeddo was assem- bled to view this unique and royal gift. Discomfited that the “bravo” should have outwitted his ruse, the prince de- parted to plan revenge. The following day brought with it an invitation from Juirozayemon to breakfast. Despite his comrade’s remonstrances Chobei insisted on accepting it. As he entered the prince’s dwelling the samurais threw themselves upon him with drawn swords. Chobei’s immense mus- cular strength enabled him to disarm them, when he proceeded unannounced to the rear apartment. “Pardon me, your lordship,” said be. “for announcing myself. Your attend- ants have forgotten to do so.” “Surely. Perhaps they have sought quarrel with you. "l‘was but a joke, for l wagered that all slx could not disarm you. Perhaps you would llke a bath to refresh yourself." Who shall say that Chobei was wise? Alone in his enemy’s houSe, be dis- carded his weapons, removed his gar- ments and crouched in the bath. The water that was at first hot was soon boiling. Chobel dashed from the bath. but ten spears held by Invisible hands forced him back. Suflocated by steam. exhausted by blood. Chobei fell dying to the ground. The samurais were still congratu- lating themselves on their. success when a loud knocking was heard. in- quiry revealed the dueling confeder- ates who were come to seek their leader. “He is drunk and cannot see you." “Our leader is dead. We have brought his bier.” The samnrsis were dumb with as» tonishmest. Chobei had divined the trap, yet. preferring to sustain his rep- utation of daring nntarnlshed by any accusation of fear, had voluntarily [one to his assassination. Hawaiian Gil-h.
