Great
bunions
!
"
exclaimed
the
consul
.
"
Shoe
store
!
What
'll
they
ask
about
next
,
I
wonder
?
Overcoat
factory
,
I
reckon
.
Say
,
Billy
--
of
our
3,000
citizens
,
how
many
do
you
suppose
ever
had
on
a
pair
of
shoes
?
"
Keogh
reflected
judicially
.
"
Let
's
see
--
there
's
you
and
me
and
--
"
"
Not
me
,
"
said
Johnny
,
promptly
and
incorrectly
,
holding
up
a
foot
encased
in
a
disreputable
deerskin
zapato
.
"
I
have
n't
been
a
victim
to
shoes
in
months
.
"
"
But
you
've
got
'em
,
though
,
"
went
on
Keogh
.
"
And
there
's
Goodwin
and
Blanchard
and
Geddie
and
old
Lutz
and
Doc
Gregg
and
that
Italian
that
's
agent
for
the
banana
company
,
and
there
's
old
Delgado
--
no
;
he
wears
sandals
.
And
,
oh
,
yes
;
there
's
Madama
Ortiz
,
'
what
kapes
the
hotel
'
--
she
had
on
a
pair
of
red
slippers
at
the
baile
the
other
night
.
And
Miss
Pasa
,
her
daughter
,
that
went
to
school
in
the
States
--
she
brought
back
some
civilized
notions
in
the
way
of
footgear
.
And
there
's
the
comandante
's
sister
that
dresses
up
her
feet
on
feast-days
--
and
Mrs.
Geddie
,
who
wears
a
two
with
a
Castilian
instep
--
and
that
's
about
all
the
ladies
.
Let
's
see
--
do
n't
some
of
the
soldiers
at
the
cuartel
--
no
:
that
's
so
;
they
're
allowed
shoes
only
when
on
the
march
.
In
barracks
they
turn
their
little
toeses
out
to
grass
.
"
"
'
Bout
right
,
"
agreed
the
consul
.
"
Not
over
twenty
out
of
the
three
thousand
ever
felt
leather
on
their
walking
arrangements
.
Oh
,
yes
;
Coralio
is
just
the
town
for
an
enterprising
shoe
store
--
that
does
n't
want
to
part
with
its
goods
.
Wonder
if
old
Patterson
is
trying
to
jolly
me
!
He
always
was
full
of
things
he
called
jokes
.
Write
him
a
letter
,
Billy
.
I
'll
dictate
it
.
We
'll
jolly
him
back
a
few
.
"
Keogh
dipped
his
pen
,
and
wrote
at
Johnny
's
dictation
.
With
many
pauses
,
filled
in
with
smoke
and
sundry
travellings
of
the
bottle
and
glasses
,
the
following
reply
to
the
Dalesburg
communication
was
perpetrated
:
MR.
OBADIAH
PATTERSON
,
Dalesburg
,
Ala.
.
Dear
Sir
:
In
reply
to
your
favour
of
July
2d
,
I
have
the
honour
to
inform
you
that
,
according
to
my
opinion
,
there
is
no
place
on
the
habitable
globe
that
presents
to
the
eye
stronger
evidence
of
the
need
of
a
first-class
shoe
store
than
does
the
town
of
Coralio
.
There
are
3,000
inhabitants
in
the
place
,
and
not
a
single
shoe
store
!
The
situation
speaks
for
itself
.
This
coast
is
rapidly
becoming
the
goal
of
enterprising
business
men
,
but
the
shoe
business
is
one
that
has
been
sadly
overlooked
or
neglected
.
In
fact
,
there
are
a
considerable
number
of
our
citizens
actually
without
shoes
at
present
.
