'
Down
with
the
blank
fool
'
would
have
suited
your
case
better
,
"
said
Keogh
,
with
fiery
emphasis
.
"
You
tear
up
ten
thousand
dollars
like
an
old
rag
because
the
way
you
've
spread
on
five
dollars
'
worth
of
paint
hurts
your
conscience
.
Next
time
I
pick
a
side-partner
in
a
scheme
the
man
has
got
to
go
before
a
notary
and
swear
he
never
even
heard
the
word
'
ideal
'
mentioned
.
"
Keogh
strode
from
the
room
,
white-hot
.
White
paid
little
attention
to
his
resentment
.
The
scorn
of
Billy
Keogh
seemed
a
trifling
thing
beside
the
greater
self-scorn
he
had
escaped
.
In
Coralio
the
excitement
waxed
.
An
outburst
was
imminent
.
The
cause
of
this
demonstration
of
displeasure
was
the
presence
in
the
town
of
a
big
,
pink-cheeked
Englishman
,
who
,
it
was
said
,
was
an
agent
of
his
government
come
to
clinch
the
bargain
by
which
the
president
placed
his
people
in
the
hands
of
a
foreign
power
.
It
was
charged
that
not
only
had
he
given
away
priceless
concessions
,
but
that
the
public
debt
was
to
be
transferred
into
the
hands
of
the
English
,
and
the
custom-houses
turned
over
to
them
as
a
guarantee
.
The
long-enduring
people
had
determined
to
make
their
protest
felt
.
On
that
night
,
in
Coralio
and
in
other
towns
,
their
ire
found
vent
.
Yelling
mobs
,
mercurial
but
dangerous
,
roamed
the
streets
.
They
overthrew
the
great
bronze
statue
of
the
president
that
stood
in
the
centre
of
the
plaza
,
and
hacked
it
to
shapeless
pieces
.
They
tore
from
public
buildings
the
tablets
set
there
proclaiming
the
glory
of
the
"
Illustrious
Liberator
.
"
His
pictures
in
the
government
offices
were
demolished
.
The
mobs
even
attacked
the
Casa
Morena
,
but
were
driven
away
by
the
military
,
which
remained
faithful
to
the
executive
.
All
the
night
terror
reigned
.
The
greatness
of
Losada
was
shown
by
the
fact
that
by
noon
the
next
day
order
was
restored
,
and
he
was
still
absolute
.
He
issued
proclamations
denying
positively
that
any
negotiations
of
any
kind
had
been
entered
into
with
England
.
Sir
Stafford
Vaughn
,
the
pink-cheeked
Englishman
,
also
declared
in
placards
and
in
public
print
that
his
presence
there
had
no
international
significance
.
He
was
a
traveller
without
guile
.
In
fact
(
so
he
stated
)
,
he
had
not
even
spoken
with
the
president
or
been
in
his
presence
since
his
arrival
.
During
this
disturbance
,
White
was
preparing
for
his
homeward
voyage
in
the
steamship
that
was
to
sail
within
two
or
three
days
.
About
noon
,
Keogh
,
the
restless
,
took
his
camera
out
with
the
hope
of
speeding
the
lagging
hours
.
The
town
was
now
as
quiet
as
if
peace
had
never
departed
from
her
perch
on
the
red-tiled
roofs
.
About
the
middle
of
the
afternoon
,
Keogh
hurried
back
to
the
hotel
with
something
decidedly
special
in
his
air
.
He
retired
to
the
little
room
where
he
developed
his
pictures
.
Later
on
he
came
out
to
White
on
the
balcony
,
with
a
luminous
,
grim
,
predatory
smile
on
his
face
.
