and the drip of the rain grew dim in his ears it           seemed to him that he was 

once more in the thick of the horse´ breaking�察�with raw colts rearing and 

bucking under him�察�his stirrups           tied together beneath�察�or charging madly 

about the breaking corral         and driving the helping cowboys over the rails。 

The     next   instant�察   �and    with   seeming     naturalness�察    �he   found    himself 

pursuing the wild        bulls of the upland pastures�察�roping them and leading 

them  down   to      the   valleys。   Again   the   sweat   and   dust   of   the   branding 

pen stung his      eyes and bit his nostrils。 

     All   his   lusty�察  �whole´bodied   youth   was   his�察  �until   the   sharp   pangs   of 

impending       dissolution     brought    him    back。    He     lifted  his   monstrous 

hands and gazed at them in wonder。             But how�拭      �Why�拭     �Why should the 

wholeness       of   that   wild   youth     of  his   change     to   this�拭   �Then      he 

remembered�察  �and   once   again�察  �and   for   a   moment�察  �he   was   Koolau�察  �the 

leper。    His    eyelids    fluttered   wearily    down     and   the  drip   of  the   rain 

ceased in his ears。      A prolonged trembling set up in his body。              This�察�too�察�

ceased。     He half´lifted his head�察�but it fell back。         Then     his eyes opened�察�

and did not close。       His last thought was of his         Mauser�察�and he pressed it 

against his chest with his folded�察        �fingerless hands。

                        GOOD´BYE�察�JACK 



     Hawaii     is  a  queer   place。    Everything      socially    is  what   I  may   call 

topsy´turvy。      Not     but  what    things   are   correct。   They     are   almost    too 

much   so。     But   still   things   are   sort   of   upside   down。  The   most   ultra´ 

exclusive set there is the ;Missionary Crowd。;                It comes with rather         a 

shock to learn that in Hawaii the obscure martyrdom´seeking                    missionary 

sits at the head of the table of the moneyed aristocracy。                   But it is true。 

The   humble   New  Englanders   who   came   out in   the third           decade   of   the 

nineteenth   century�察 �came   for   the   lofty  purpose   of     teaching   the   kanakas 

the   true   religion�察  �the   worship   of   the   one   only genuine   and   undeniable 

God。     So well did they succeed in this�察�and            also in civilizing the kanaka�察�

that by the second or third          generation he was practically extinct。            This 

being   the   fruit   of   the seed   of   the   Gospel�察  �the   fruit   of   the   seed   of   the 

missionaries   ��the      sons   and   the   grandsons��   was   the   possession   of   the 

islands     themselves��of the land�察�the ports�察�the town sites�察�and the sugar 

plantations�此      �The     missionary     who     came    to   give   the   bread    of   life 

remained to gobble up the whole heathen feast。 

     But   that   is   not   the   Hawaiian   queerness   I   started   out   to   tell。 Only 

one      cannot     speak     of   things     Hawaiian       without     mentioning       the 

missionaries。      There is Jack Kersdale�察�the man I wanted to tell              about�察�he 

came   of   missionary   stock。       That   is�察  �on   his   grandmother's     side。    His 

grandfather   was   old   Benjamin   Kersdale�察  �a   Yankee   trader�察       �who   got   his 

start for a million in the old days by selling cheap               whiskey and square´ 

face gin。      There's another queer   thing。         The old      missionaries and   old 

traders were mortal enemies。            You see�察�their       interests conflicted。      But 

their   children    made     it  up  by    intermarrying      and    dividing    the  island 

between them。 

     Life   in  Hawaii     is  a  song。   That's    the   way    Stoddard    put   it  in  his 

;Hawaii Noi;�此� 

       ;Thy life is musicFate the notes prolong� �Each isle a stanza�察�and the 

whole a song。;

       And   he   was   right。  Flesh   is   golden   there。   The   native   women   are 

sun´ ripe Junos�察�the native men bronzed Apollos。                 They sing�察�and dance�察�

and    all  are  flower´bejewelled       and   flower´crowned。        And�察    �outside   the 

rigid   ;Missionary   Crowd�察─  �the   white   men   yield   to   the   climate   and   the 

sun�察 �and   no   matter how   busy  they   may  be�察  �are   prone to   dance   and   sing 

and wear flowers behind their ears and in their hair。              Jack Kersdale       was 

one of these fellows。        He was one of the busiest men I ever met。                  He 

was a several´times millionaire。          He was a sugar´king�察�a coffee            planter�察�

a rubber pioneer�察�a cattle rancher�察�and a promoter of three                  out of every 

four new enterprises launched in the islands。              He was a       society man�察�a 

club   man�察  �a   yachtsman�察  �a   bachelor�察  �and   withal   as   handsome   a   man   as 

was     ever    doted    upon    by    mammas       with    marriageable       daughters。 

Incidentally�察  �he   had   finished   his   education   at   Yale�察  �and   his   head   was 

crammed fuller with vital statistics and scholarly             information concerning 

Hawaii Nei than any other islander I ever               encountered。       He turned off 

an immense amount of work�察�and he sang                 and danced and put flowers in 

his   hair   as   immensely   as   any   of   the idlers。        He   had   grit�察  �and   had 

fought     two   duelsboth�察   �politicalwhen      he   was    no   more   than   a  raw 

youth essaying his first adventures in           politics。    In fact�察�he played a most 

creditable   and   courageous   part      in   the   last   revolution�察  �when   the   native 

dynasty was overthrown�察�and             he could not have been over sixteen at the 

time。    I am pointing out        that he was no coward�察�in order that you may 

appreciate what happens          later on。     I've seen him in the breaking yard at 

the Haleakala       Ranch�察�conquering a four´year´old brute that for two years 

had    defied the pick of Von Tempsky's cow´boys。                And I must tell of one 

other thing。      It was down in Kona��or up�察�rather�察�for the Kona                 people 

scorn to live at less than a thousand feet elevation。             We     were all on the 

lanai    of   Doctor    Goodhue's      bungalow。       I   was   talking     with    Dottie 

Fairchild when it happened。           A big centipedeit was          seven inches�察�for
