But it was not death, only exhaus-
ton, that had overpowered Mrs. Rapp S
fraiI body. She revived, and when
Hughes tiptoed up the steps he met her
smile. He mumhled inarticulate words
and turned away, hurrying down the
lane and out of sight.
So there were but two of them to
carry on the battle. They toiled harder
than ever, working with frantic
strength to stem the tide of death that
rippled to the very hills. But this time
they made shorter shifts of it, coming
back to the little cottage to meet the
woman s smile, to hover about her with
anxious words of encouragement. to
steam over the stove compromising
soups and dishes she might enjoy. And
when her smile grew stronger. Hughes
would slip out, his rake in hand, to
battle with filth, to burn rubbish. to
bury the dead, to lift the dying into
the open air.
One day Rapp paused on the porch
of his house and stared out at the bay.
He saw couple of steamers anchored
out beyond the reef He saw others
anchored inside, flying signal flags.
Hughes joined him ana they nodded to
each other The city had been quar-
antined. The black death had crossed
the stream They were not alone.

All day long the good priest of ka-
lihi-uka ehanted the masses for souls
and flung the incense into the polluted
air All day long the dead wagons
toiled up the hills and the walls OF
the desoIate rose to the languid skies.

they could find, ate it, and went to
sleep In the lanai, holding each other s
hand that neither might be seized upon
by death alone.
They woke to find man in dirty

bashfully and nodded al thought

Quicker 20 understand, Mrs. Rapp
nodded to the outcast. Tt s good of
you, she said Would you mind
helping me TO get something for US to

So there were three of them that
toiled in the heat and smoke of the
disinfecting fires. It was grim work,
the grimmer because they heard no
news from the city that hummed across
Nuuanu stream, careless Of the dying.
Hughes said little as he went about
the tasks that mercy set. But every
now and again he would look at Mrs
Rapp, nod bis head vigorously and
smile. It was confident smile, cheer
ing beyond words to the exhausted wo-
man. She taught herself always to
respond TO it. feeling a certain stimn-

net lost. But the hour came when she

ed Al aim with weary eyes and sank
to the steps Of the little hut within
which the child she had been nursing
lay dead. Her eyes closed.
With startled leap Hughes reached
her side. Rapp was far up the street
burning rubbish The outcast stared
down al the slender form an instant
and then he stopped. With an effort
he raised the light BODY in his arms
and strobe away toward the cottage
under the papayas. It was a hard
climb up the lane and the beads of
sweat stood ont en- his white face when
ne finally reached her chair in the la
lai. There he laid her down. gently
and sped awev for her husband.
He came. his limbs shaking under
him. fearing the worst. He po9red ont

when Hughes heard the mans voice
calling e the wife, he slipped out into

They looked YEARLY for him when

unbearable sluggishness. And when he

apathy.
