JAPANESE STRATEGY.
The Clever Way ■ Wily Old Warrior
Deceived the Enemy.
.Many a man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
| Instance in which this trait of human
I nature was cleverly played upon by a
Japanese nobleman.
The old lord had been forced to flee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10,000 and barely bad time to
reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no re-enforcementa near at
hand, and he knew that If an attempt
was made to storm bis defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy’s forces advanced rarid
ly, and scouta rode up near the castle
to reconnolter. To their amazement,
they found the gates, doors and win
dows open and all the appearance of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti
ly back to Inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music In the castle.
The powerful euemy was too wise a
man to put his head into any such trap
aa that The defenders of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces hy wholesale or they would
never invite him In that way. He
drew buck to a safe distance and en
camped to await developments.
Soon the ie-enforcements for the cas
tle came up behind, attack.-d him sud
denly and defeated him, while the gar
rison, which had risked all on Its strat
agem, charged him on tb« other side.
