Captain Francis, in his extreme de
crepitude, was pathetic figure in the
line of his comrades and it was neces
sary to carry him from the automobile

keen disappointment for the old vet
eran to have missed the opportunity tC
assemble with his fellow members OF
the post and honor his former friends
and fellow soldiers in their last rest
ing place.

the sound of ukuleles and Hawaiian
songs emanating from the cemeter,
throughout the night attracted the at
! tention of more than one malihini VIII
paused to determine whether the sound
had a human or ghostly origin.
