Ma ke aumoe o ka po nei, a i ole ma ka wanaao paha o keia

"O ka apana pepa a'u i hoike ae la mamua he palapala ho-

"Malia he kanaka hou aku no paha kekahi ma kela inoa

"Manao Poina: — E kali au a loaa mai kekahi olelo mai ia

"Ma kona helehelena ke nana aku i ua haku nei o kakou,

"Ua loaa ka ia ike ia oe nona, e kuhi ana au owau wale no

Ua akamai maoli ka Sibela paani ana i kana pepa hahau
mahope o ko Ora kaawale ana mai ka hale nani aku o na Le-
sili a e ikeia ana ka oiaio ia akamai ona ma o ko Horeki hoi
hou ana aku imua ona iloko o kona halawai ana me ke kau-

No Horeki oia i noho ai ma ka home, a i kona ike ana mai
ia Horeki e hookokoke aku ana i ka hale, holokiki mai Ia oia
ilalo mai ka hale mai maluna me ka haalulu, no ka mea me
Wa manao kaumaha oia e noho ana ia manawa no ko Horeki
hoike aku iaia ua loaa hou o Ora.
I ko Horeki hui ana aku me ia haawi aku la i ka leka iaia
no kana heluhelu ana iho, aole nae oia i nana pono aku i ka

ana oia i kekahi hiohiona e hoohauoli ia ae ai oia ma ka mea
e pili ana i ko Sibela manaoio maoli e pili ana no Ora.
"E Horeki," i pane mai ai o Sibela, mahope o ko au helu-
helu ana i ka leka, "heaha kau e hana aku ana?"
"Ka'u e hana aku ana? O ka hele koke aku no hoi ilaila i
nei manawa me ka hookaulua ole."
"Iaa no kou hele owau pu kekahi e hele," wahi a S ibela.
''Ua kauohaia ka mea malama hale o ko makou wahi e makau-
kau mau e hookipa aku i kekahi o kaua, ina no ka hele aku.
Ae, e hoike aku au ia papa i nei manawa e hele ana au no ke-
kahi hana i ole au e haohaoia."
Aohe o Horeki i papa aku i ua o Sibela e noho i ka hale, no
ke kumu ke ike iho la oia ia manawa e lilo ana ko Sibela hahai

Nolaila haawi aku la oia i kona mahalo, a he manawa pokole

O kahi o laua i laki ai ma kela holo ana o Keoki Kike-

o Sibela ma Burukedela; nolaila ua maopopo ia Sibela kona
wahi i noho ai, a ua hiki hoi iaia ke lawe aku ia Horeki a hoea

He mau minuke kakaikahi i hala ae mahope o ka hora 12
hoea aku la laua i ka hale o Dikekona, ke koronero, a e ku ana
laua ma ka lanai malalo loa ma ka manawa o kekahi mau kai-

He liilii loa na mea i kamailioia no kela kaikamahine maloko o kahi kauhale uuku, o ke kumu i ole e piha mai ia wahi i na kanaka. . No ka piha kaumaha loa o Horeki, a he haikea loa hoi kona helehelena ia manawa, me he kanaka ma'i la, aohe mea hiki iaia ke kamailio mai.

"O ko Ora lole keia," wahi ana o ke komo ana ma ke ahiahi hope ana e noho ana ma kona home." "Ua maopopo iho la anei kou ike i kona helehelena?" i ninau mai ai o Dikekona. I loaa ai ia Horeki ka ike maopopo a e ike iho ai hoi i kekahi hoailona e hooiaio mai ai o Ora ia kino make, haka pono loa iho la kana nana ana ma ka helehelena, a i ae la: "Aohe hiki ia'u ke ike maopopo iho i kekahi mea e hoike ae ai o Ora Malo keia kino make.

Ua akamai loa o Sibela i ka paani ana i kana mahele hana

I ko Sibela lohe ana mai la i keia mau olelo holo ae la ke

"Aohe mea i maopopo ia'u," wahi a Kalaka; "no Horeki no
au i huli mai nei, he manaolana ko'u e hoike mai ana oe ia'u
no kana wahi o ka hele ana." Hookaulua iki iho la o Sibela i
ka pane mai no ka mea, aole i maopopo iaia ka nui o ko Ho-
reki hilinai ia Kalaka, a no ia hoohakalia o Sibela i ka pane
mai, a ua o Kalaka e noonoo la e huna ana paha o Sibela ia
Horeki, koho koke iho la no oia aia no ilaila o Horeki.
"He nuhou hookaumaha noonoo anei kekahi au nana?" i
ninau mai ai o Sibela.
"Aole au i ike, he makemake wale no ko'u e ike i kona wahi
o ka hele ana mai nei, nolaila au i hele mai nei e huli iaia. Ua
maopopo ia'u ua nui kona kaumaha me ka makemake loa e
loaa kana wahine."
"Kana wahine!" i hoopili mai ai o Sibela me ka hoike pu
mai i kona pihoihoi.
"Mai huna oe a manao iho hoi e hoopunipuni mai ia'u. e
Miss Hamuda, ua maopopo ia'u kou ike no kona mareia ana
me Ora Malo, pehea la oe i hoohaohao iho la?" i pane aku
ai o Kalaka.
"Ae; ua maopopo io no au ia mea, a oiai no hoi ua ike pu
no oe, nolaila aohe waiwai o ko'u hookaulua ana iho i ka
hoike ana aku ia oe no ka hopena i ikeia. Ua make ia kana
wahine. Ua make oia maluna o ke alanuihao kaaahi ma ka

"O, he lono kaumaha maoli ka hoi kau!" me ka inoino loa
o ko Kalaka helehelena ia manawa.
"Ua make!" me ka nui o kona hanu. "Ua make ma ka po
nei! O, he make weliweli maoli ka kela!" wahi hou a Kalaka.
"Ae; ua make oia, a aia kona kino make ke waiho mai nei
maloko o keia hale i nei manawa, no kona kaumaha loa."
Auwe, ua make! Hikiwawe no ka hoi! Make! O, he mea
hiki ole ia ke manaoioia iho. Aole anei i kuhihewa ia kela

"Ke ike aku. nei au i kou kanalua loa ia mea me ke kupa-
naha loa, aka nae i mea e ikemaka ai oe a e hoopau ia ai hoi

''E lawe aku oe ia'u, e ikemaka aku au iaia! O, e na Lani
me keia iho la anei ka hikiwawe o ka hopena o kona mau la
o ke ola ana? Auhea oia?"
Hapai ae la o Sibela i kona mau poohiwi iluna, a hoomaka
aku la ka hele ana mamua a hahai aku la no hoi o Kalaka ma-
hope ona ahiki i ko laua komo ana aku iloko o ka rumi e pili
kokoke mai ana, kahi o ke kino i waihoia ai.
"Aia oia ke waiho mai la. ma o," i pane ae ai o Sibela, "aohe

ua inoino kona helehelena mamuli o ka palahe ana i na huila
kaaahi. Iloko o ka pakeke o kona lole i loaa ai ka palapala

Me ko Kalaka puuwai e kau ana i kona kani ai i hele malie
