But
Ramon
Olivarra
seized
that
moment
to
prove
himself
a
born
genius
and
politician
.
He
waved
those
soldiers
aside
,
and
descended
the
steps
to
the
street
.
There
,
without
losing
his
dignity
or
the
distinguished
elegance
that
the
loss
of
his
red
hair
brought
him
,
he
took
the
proletariat
to
his
bosom
--
the
barefooted
,
the
dirty
,
Indians
,
Caribs
,
babies
,
beggars
,
old
,
young
,
saints
,
soldiers
and
sinners
--
he
missed
none
of
them
.
While
this
act
of
the
drama
was
being
presented
,
the
scene
shifters
had
been
busy
at
the
duties
that
had
been
assigned
to
them
.
Two
of
Cruz
's
dragoons
had
seized
the
bridle
reins
of
Losada
's
horses
;
others
formed
a
close
guard
around
the
carriage
;
and
they
galloped
off
with
the
tyrant
and
his
two
unpopular
Ministers
.
No
doubt
a
place
had
been
prepared
for
them
.
There
are
a
number
of
well-barred
stone
apartments
in
Coralio
.
"
Rouge
wins
,
"
said
Mr.
Vincenti
,
calmly
lighting
another
cigar
.
Captain
Cronin
had
been
intently
watching
the
vicinity
of
the
stone
steps
for
some
time
.
"
Good
boy
!
"
he
exclaimed
suddenly
,
as
if
relieved
.
"
I
wondered
if
he
was
going
to
forget
his
Kathleen
Mavourneen
.
"
Young
Olivarra
had
reascended
the
steps
and
spoken
a
few
words
to
General
Pilar
.
Then
that
distinguished
veteran
descended
to
the
ground
and
approached
Pasa
,
who
still
stood
,
wonder-eyed
,
where
Dicky
had
left
her
.
With
his
plumed
hat
in
his
hand
,
and
his
medals
and
decorations
shining
on
his
breast
,
the
general
spoke
to
her
and
gave
her
his
arm
,
and
they
went
up
the
stone
steps
of
the
Casa
Morena
together
.
And
then
Ramon
Olivarra
stepped
forward
and
took
both
her
hands
before
all
the
people
.
And
while
the
cheering
was
breaking
out
afresh
everywhere
,
Captain
Cronin
and
Mr.
Vincenti
turned
and
walked
back
toward
the
shore
where
the
gig
was
waiting
for
them
.
"
There
'll
be
another
'
presidente
proclamada
'
in
the
morning
,
"
said
Mr.
Vincenti
,
musingly
.
"
As
a
rule
they
are
not
as
reliable
as
the
elected
ones
,
but
this
youngster
seems
to
have
some
good
stuff
in
him
.
He
planned
and
manoeuvred
the
entire
campaign
.
Olivarra
's
widow
,
you
know
,
was
wealthy
After
her
husband
was
assassinated
she
went
to
the
States
,
and
educated
her
son
at
Yale
.
The
Vesuvius
Company
hunted
him
up
,
and
backed
him
in
the
little
game
.
