Mounting the slope beyond the bridge, the colonel's stride now carefully accommodated to the child's puny step, they skirted a low brick wall, beyond which white headstones gleamed in a mass of verdure. Reaching an iron gate, the colonel lifted the latch, and entered the cemetery which had been the object of their visit. "Is this the place, papa?" asked the little boy.
And as for the change you speak of' he looked steadily at the dark face on the pillow and smiled amiably 'I don't think we need worry much about that. It certainly was a bleak wind yesterday and a cemetery, my dear sir! It was indiscreet yes, very. He held out his hand.
She knew, too, that the little sign on the gate, though so courteously worded, was no mere formality; for she had heard how a colored man, who had wandered into the cemetery on a hot night and fallen asleep on the flat top of a tomb, had been arrested as a vagrant and fined five dollars, which he had worked out on the streets, with a ball-and-chain attachment, at twenty-five cents a day.
He wanted me to take the money and give it to the owner. He would tell me his name. I was glad to aid the poor man who was so repentant. "'All I want is a pick and shovel and a reliable man to go with me to-night. I can find the place, he said. "I offered to send the sexton with him and let him have the pick and shovel from the cemetery.
I called out, and I flung it violently over the wall which skirted the gymnasium and formed the boundary to the cemetery.

And he thought with a curious pride that he and his family had done little or nothing to help this feverish expansion. Good solid middlemen, they had gone to work with dignity to manage and possess.
I have seen it, and I will tell you honestly. I have thought often of it, for all who live in Tai-o-hae know that woman, and her foster-sister sits there with the ena upon her. She does not lie in the cemetery, this girl of whom I speak, nor is her body beside that of her fathers in the ua tupapau.
