It will come sooner than is expected." “Since our marriage in 1920," added the professor, “she has assisted in the collection of data for the book. While I was absent studying a strange secret group, eighteen months ago, a member of the notorious secret society, called the Dragon, broke Into her room at night, and Intimated that It would be better for us to leave Japan. We departed, she accompanying me to Marseilles, whence, despite the risk, she returned tc Japan to keep me informed on the events. later my wife wrote saying she feared kidnapping. Recently I received a letter, saying she was in bed with severe internal pains. I have not heard a word since. Possibly she has been poisoned.
