Three months later the parents of the
little girl weroattho dock together towit-
ness for the Mot time the saddest of
elitists -the departure of the lepers for the
island of Molokai. The Kilauea Hon, the
leper gamier, was out in the stream, and
tate lepers were being carried out to her in
barges A litter was borne through the
roped enclosure for the lepers. On it lay a
very old Kanakawoman in the final stages
of the disease. At the side of the litter
walked Kaomouna. Her face was very sad.
The parents of the littlo girl wondered
They spoke to an official of the Hawaiian
board of health, who was busy in the task
of embarking the lepers.
".Surely," they said. "she does not ac-
company the lepers'"
"Who, Kaomouna?" replied the health
ofTicial. "Oh, yes, site does. But it is her
own choice. Kaomouna, you know, has
been secreting her old mother for a num-
ber of years. We always knew there was
something mysterious about Kaomouna.-
that
aomouna-that is, we have known it'for the last five
years. She had made queer visits to a palm
but far over in the Nuuanu valley. Last
week we followed her -we felt there was
leprosy id it. We found her mother in the
hut--Kaomonna had had her in hiding,
trying to save her from Molokai, ever since
the disease became evident. Kaomouna is
not infected in the least -she has been
careful. But she elects to follow her moth-
er to Molokai. Extraordinary? Why, not
at all! You do not understand the filial
devotion of Melaka women -men, too, for
that matter. Suoh cases are common
enough."
The parents of the little girl looked at
eaeh other. There were tours in the moth-
er's eyes.
"That is why site folded her arms and
would not touch Tidal" she said. "In this
world of God, civilized or uncivilized
could there be anythinglnore not>lcf"
All was ready, and the Kilauea Bou,
