     ;I   thought   you   knew�察─  �said   McVeigh�察  �who   had   been   regarding   him 

curiously。     ;You�察  �of   all   men�察  �should   have   known。    I   thought   that   was 

why you were here。; 

     ;I   know   now�察─  �Kersdale   answered   with   immense   gravity。        ;Where's 

the    carriage�拭─�

     He walked rapidlyhalf´ranto it。          I had to half´run myself to        keep 

up with him。 

     ;Drive   to   Doctor   Hervey's�察─  �he   told    the   driver。  ;Drive   as   fast   as 

you can。; 

     He sank down in a seat�察�panting and gasping。               The pallor of his face 

had   increased。     His   lips   were   compressed   and   the   sweat   was   standing 

out on his forehead and upper lip。          He seemed in some horrible           agony。 

     ;For    God's    sake�察  �Martin�察   �make    those    horses   go� ─  �he   broke    out

them� ─�

     ;They'll break�察�sir�察─�the driver remonstrated。 

     ;Let them break�察─�Kersdale answered。              ;I'll pay your fine and square 

you with the police。       Put it to them。     That's right。     Faster�      �Faster� ─�

     ;And   I never knew�察 �I   never knew�察─  �he   muttered�察 �sinking back   in   the 

seat and with trembling hands wiping the sweat away。 

     The   carriage   was   bouncing�察  �swaying   and   lurching   around   corners   at 

such   a   wild   pace   as   to   make   conversation   impossible。     Besides�察  �there 

was    nothing    to  say。   But    I  could   hear  him   muttering     over   and   over�察�

                                 ALOHA OE 



     Never are there such departures as from the dock at Honolulu。                    The 

great transport lay with steam up�察�ready to pull out。            A thousand       persons 

were on her decks�察�five thousand stood on the wharf。                Up and     down the 

long gangway passed native princes and princesses�察�sugar                  kings and the 

high officials of the Territory。        Beyond�察�in long        lines�察�kept in order by 

the   native   police�察  �were   the   carriages   and   motor´cars   of   the   Honolulu 

aristocracy。     On   the   wharf    the   Royal    Hawaiian   Band       played   ;Aloha 

Oe�察─  �and   when   it   finished�察  �a   stringed orchestra   of   native   musicians   on 

board the transport took up the          same sobbing strains�察�the native woman 

singer's   voice   rising   birdlike   above   the   instruments   and   the   hubbub   of 

departure。     It was     a silver reed�察�sounding its clear�察�unmistakable note in 

the great     diapason of farewell。 

     Forward�察  �on   the   lower   deck�察  �the   rail   was   lined   six   deep   with   khaki´ 

clad young boys�察�whose bronzed faces told of three years'                  campaigning 

under the sun。       But the farewell was not for them。           Nor     was it for the 

white´clad captain on the lofty bridge�察�remote as the               stars�察�gazing down 

upon     the  tumult   beneath    him。    Nor    was   the   farewell     for  the  young 

officers   farther   aft�察  �returning   from   the  Philippines�察  �nor   for   the   white´ 

faced�察�climate´ravaged women by their              sides。    Just aft the gangway�察�on 

the promenade deck�察�stood a score             of United States Senators with their 

wives and daughtersthe          Senatorial junketing party that for a month had 

been dined and        wined�察�surfeited with statistics and dragged up volcanic 

hill and     down lava dale to behold the glories and resources of Hawaii。 

It    was    for   the  junketing    party   that   the  transport    had   called   in   at 

Honolulu�察  �and   it   was   to   the   junketing   party   that   Honolulu   was   saying 

good´bye。 

     The   Senators   were   garlanded   and   bedecked   with   flowers。         Senator 

Jeremy Sambrooke's   stout   neck and   portly  bosom were   burdened   with   a 

dozen   wreaths。      Out   of   this   mass   of   bloom   and   blossom   projected   his 

head and the greater portion of his freshly sunburned and perspiring                 face。

He thought the flowers   an   abomination�察�and  as he looked out                  over  the 

multitude on the wharf it was with a statistical eye that               saw none of the 

beauty�察�but that peered into the labour power�察�the              factories�察�the railroads�察�

and    the   plantations    that   lay   back   of   the   multitude      and   which     the 

multitude expressed。         He saw resources and           thought development�察�and 

he   was   too   busy   with   dreams   of   material    achievement   and   empire   to 

notice   his   daughter   at   his   side�察  �talking with   a   young   fellow   in   a   natty 

summer suit and straw hat�察�whose               eager eyes seemed only for her   and 

never left her face。       Had Senator        Jeremy had eyes for his daughter�察�he 

would have seen that�察�in place          of the young girl of fifteen he had brought 

to   Hawaii   a   short   month    before�察  �he   was   now   taking   away   with   him   a 

woman。 

     Hawaii     has   a  ripening    climate�察  �and   Dorothy   Sambrooke        had   been 

exposed to it under exceptionally ripening circumstances。                 Slender�察    �pale�察�

with   blue   eyes   a   trifle   tired   from   poring   over   the   pages   of books   and 

trying   to   muddle   into   an   understanding   of   lifesuch   she    had   been   the 

month before。       But now the eyes were warm instead of               tired�察�the cheeks 

were touched with the sun�察�and the body gave the                 first hint and promise 

of swelling lines。       During that month she had            left books alone�察�for she 

had found greater joy in reading from the              book of life。     She had ridden 

horses�察  �climbed   volcanoes�察  �and       learned    surf    swimming。      The     tropics 

had   entered   into   her   blood�察  �and   she   was   aglow   with   the   warmth   and 

colour and sunshine。         And for a month she          had been in the company of 

a manStephen Knight�察�athlete�察�surf´ board rider�察�a bronzed god of the sea 

who bitted the crashing         breakers�察�leaped upon their backs�察�and rode them 

in to shore。 

     Dorothy Sambrooke was unaware of the change。                    Her consciousness 

was     still   that   of   a   young   girl�察  �and   she   was   surprised   and   troubled   by 

Steve's conduct in this hour of saying good´bye。                She had looked        upon 

him as her playfellow�察�and for the month
