his   father   and   at   the   same   time  exalted   himself。      His   lean   little   ego 

waxed   to   colossal   proportions。        He   was   great   enough   to   forgive。    He 

glowed   at   the   thought   of   it。    Isaac   Ford   had   been   great�察  �but   he   was 

greater�察�for he could forgive         Isaac Ford and even restore him to the holy 

place   in   his   memory�察   �though the   place   was   not quite   so   holy  as   it   had 

been。     Also�察�he     applauded Isaac Ford for having ignored the outcome of 

his one step      aside。    Very well�察�he�察�too�察�would ignore it。 

     The dance was breaking up。             The orchestra had finished ;Aloha Oe; 

and was preparing to go home。             Percival Ford clapped his hands for            the 

Japanese servant。 

     ;You     tell  that  man   I  want    to  see  him�察─   �he  said�察 �pointing    out   Joe 

Garland。      ;Tell him to come here�察�now。; 

     Joe   Garland   approached   and   halted   respectfully   several   paces   away�察�

nervously fingering the guitar which he still carried。               The other      did not 

ask him to sit down。 

     ;You are my brother�察─�he said。 

     ;Why�察�everybody knows that�察─�was the reply�察�in tones of wonderment。 

     ;Yes�察   �so  I  understand�察─    �Percival    Ford    said  dryly。   ;But     I  did  not 

know it till this evening。; 

     The   half´brother   waited   uncomfortably   in   the   silence   that   followed�察�

during which Percival Ford coolly considered his next utterance。 

     ;You remember that first time I came to school and the boys ducked 

me�拭─�he asked。        ;Why did you take my part�拭─�

     The half´brother smiled bashfully。 

     ;Because you knew�拭─�

     ;Yes�察�that was why。; 

     ;But I didn't know�察─�Percival Ford said in the same dry fashion。 

     ;Yes�察─�the other said。

     Another   silence   fell。   Servants   were   beginning   to   put   out   the   lights 

on the lanai。 

     ;You know 。 。 。 now�察─�the half´brother said simply。 

     Percival    Ford    frowned。     Then     he   looked    the  other   over   with   a 

considering eye。 

     ;How much will you take to leave the Islands and never come back�拭─�

he demanded。 

     ;And never come back�拭─�Joe Garland faltered。                ;It is the only land I 

know。     Other lands are cold。       I do not know other lands。         I have    many 

friends here。     In other lands there would not be one voice to            say�察�'Aloha�察�

Joe�察�my boy。'; 

     ;I said never to come back�察─�Percival Ford reiterated。              ;The Alameda 

sails tomorrow for San Francisco。; 

     Joe Garland was bewildered。 

     ;But why�拭─�he asked。         ;You know now that we are brothers。; 

     ;That    is  why�察─  �was   the  retort。   ;As    you   said  yourself�察  �everybody 

knows。      I will make it worth your while。; 

     All   awkwardness   and   embarrassment   disappeared   from   Joe   Garland。 

Birth and station were bridged and reversed。 

     ;You want me to go�拭─�he demanded。 

     ;I want you to go and never come back�察─�Percival Ford answered。 

     And   in   that   moment�察  �flashing   and   fleeting�察  �it   was   given   him   to   see 

his brother tower above him like a mountain�察�and to feel himself                dwindle 

and dwarf to microscopic insignificance。             But it is not well       for one to 

see himself truly�察�nor can one so see himself for long              and live�察�and only 

for that flashing moment did Percival Ford see             himself and his brother in 

true perspective。      The next moment he was           mastered by his meagre and 

insatiable ego。 

     ;As I said�察�I will make it worth your while。            You will not suffer。        I 

will pay you well。; 

     ;All right�察─�Joe Garland said。        ;I'll go。; 

     He started to turn away。 

     ;Joe�察─  �the   other  called。    ;You    see   my   lawyer    tomorrow     morning。 

Five    hundred down and two hundred a month as long as you stay away。;

     ;You    are  very   kind�察─ �Joe   Garland    answered    softly。   ;You    are  too 

kind。    And   anyway�察  �I   guess   I   don't   want   your   money。 I   go   tomorrow 

on the Alameda。; 

    He walked away�察�but did not say goodbye。 

    Percival Ford clapped his hands。 

     ;Boy�察─�he said to the Japanese�察 �a lemonade。; 

    And over the lemonade he smiled long and contentedly to himself。

                   KOOLAU THE LEPER 



     ;Because we are sick they take away our liberty。             We have obeyed the 

law。    We   have   done   no   wrong。     And   yet   they   would   put   us   in   prison。 

Molokai is a prison。        That you know。        Niuli�察�there�察�his sister was       sent 

to Molokai seven years ago。           He has not seen her since。          Nor     will he 

ever see her。     She must stay there until she dies。           This is    not her will。 

It is not Niuli's will。     It is the will of the white       men who rule the land。 

And who are these white men�拭�

     ;We   know。      We   have   it   from   our   fathers   and   our   fathers'   fathers。 

They came like lambs�察�speaking softly。              Well might they speak          softly�察�

for we were many and strong�察�and all the islands were ours。                    As I say�察�

they spoke softly。       They were of two kinds。           The one kind       asked our 

permission�察 �our gracious   permission�察�to   preach to us the            word of   God。 

The other kind asked our permission�察�our gracious                 permission�察�to trade 

with us。     That was the beginning。          Today all     the islands are theirs�察�all 

the   land�察  �all   the   cattleeverything   is theirs。    They   that   preached   the 

word of God and they that preached            the word of Rum have fore´gathered 

and become great chiefs。         They     live like kings in houses of many rooms�察�

with   multitudes   of   servants    to   care   for   them。  They   who   had   nothing 

have everything�察�and if you�察         �or I�察�or any Kanaka be hungry�察�they sneer 

and say�察�'Well�察�why don't        you work�拭      �There are the plantations。' 

     Koolau   paused。      He   raised   one   hand�察  �and   with   gnarled   and   twisted 

fingers   lifted   up   the   blazing   wreath   of hibiscus   that crowned   his   black 

hair。   The moonlight bathed the scene in silver。            It was a    night of peace�察�

though   those   who   sat   about   him   and   listened   had   all  the   seeming   of 

battle´wrecks。      Their   faces   wer
