was electrified. He stalked in at the
main door. His rough rider hat sig
nailed him out to the c~raning multi

announced his appearance swept over
the amphitheatre and swelled into a
great roar.

with him. but the crowds had eyes
only for the dashing hero OF San Juan.
No stage idol ever made an entrance
more opportunely. But he made no
acknowledgment of the ovation. His
jaw was firmly set and he came on
like a soldier performing a duty. He
did not wen remove his hat. but push
ed his way through the delegates who
swarmed from their places to grasp his
hand. All the time the roar followed
him. But he made no sign thar he

he took his seat with his SLOUGH hat
