when the clergyman closed his book
and stepped back, a group OF
musicians moved to the foot Of the
grave. :
They were the Aloha Players.

the Hawaiian song of parting. And
as the doleful spirit of the lament
seized upon the listeners. men bit
their lips and women wept, un-
ashamed.
Then, the last words. The. over
allied workmen stepped forward.
With dexterous hands, they re-
moved the supports and the gray
coffin slipped slowly into the grave.
Clay thudded upon the lid. The
mourners turned away. The auto
mobiles whirred away through the
tortuous lanes Of the cemetery.
Angelo Prince was at rest. Aloha!
