“
Leonine
!
”
she
murmured
—
“
leonine
!
Like
Samson
of
old
.
”
However
,
abruptly
bestirring
herself
,
she
exclaimed
a
second
later
:
“
But
I
must
run
away
.
I
am
selling
tickets
for
you
this
afternoon
,
Mr
.
Hartrath
.
I
am
having
such
success
.
Twenty
-
five
already
.
Mr
.
Presley
,
you
will
take
two
chances
,
I
am
sure
,
and
,
oh
,
by
the
way
,
I
have
such
good
news
.
You
know
I
am
one
of
the
lady
members
of
the
subscription
committee
for
our
Fair
,
and
you
know
we
approached
Mr
.
Shelgrim
for
a
donation
to
help
along
.
Oh
,
such
a
liberal
patron
,
a
real
Lorenzo
di
’
Medici
.
In
the
name
of
the
Pacific
and
Southwestern
he
has
subscribed
,
think
of
it
,
five
thousand
dollars
;
and
yet
they
will
talk
of
the
meanness
of
the
railroad
.
”
“
Possibly
it
is
to
his
interest
,
”
murmured
Presley
.
“
The
fairs
and
festivals
bring
people
to
the
city
over
his
railroad
.
”
But
the
others
turned
on
him
,
expostulating
.
“
Ah
,
you
Philistine
,
”
declared
Mrs
.
Cedarquist
.
“
And
this
from
YOU
!
,
Presley
;
to
attribute
such
base
motives
—
—
”
“
If
the
poets
become
materialised
,
Mr
.
Presley
,
”
declared
Hartrath
,
“
what
can
we
say
to
the
people
?
”
“
And
Shelgrim
encourages
your
million
-
dollar
fairs
and
fetes
,
”
said
a
voice
at
Presley
’
s
elbow
,
“
because
it
is
throwing
dust
in
the
people
’
s
eyes
.
”
The
group
turned
about
and
saw
Cedarquist
,
who
had
come
up
unobserved
in
time
to
catch
the
drift
of
the
talk
.
But
he
spoke
without
bitterness
;
there
was
even
a
good
-
humoured
twinkle
in
his
eyes
.
