conquest in his hands. Seated at
convenient distance could observe that
he did not once relax his sulsen silence although
the unbeantiful man poured out continuous flood
of talk and kept buzzng him for about half an hour
AT last his patience gave way; he abruptly arose
and walked away. Nothing daunted, the b.
hemian followed; but the President euded him
for little while by walking into one
OF the staterooms. The Bohemian resolved
to bide his time. When the President

mind the changer" but the Presidential hand did
not relax, SO at last he drew forth the fve-cent
nickel and placed it in the palm of the President of
the United States, who quietly slipped it into his
pocket. The President then sat down to peruse the
paper. The Bohemian still chung to him with bull
