Dink
Pawson
?
"
asked
Keogh
.
"
Pink
Dawson
.
Well
,
he
was
n't
a
hill
of
beans
to
her
.
She
says
she
did
n't
believe
a
word
of
the
things
he
told
her
about
me
.
But
I
'm
sewed
up
now
,
Billy
.
That
tomfool
letter
we
sent
ruined
whatever
chance
I
had
left
.
She
'll
despise
me
when
she
finds
out
that
her
old
father
has
been
made
the
victim
of
a
joke
that
a
decent
school
boy
would
n't
have
been
guilty
of
.
Shoes
!
Why
he
could
n't
sell
twenty
pairs
of
shoes
in
Coralio
if
he
kept
store
here
for
twenty
years
.
You
put
a
pair
of
shoes
on
one
of
these
Caribs
or
Spanish
brown
boys
and
what
'd
he
do
?
Stand
on
his
head
and
squeal
until
he
'd
kicked
'em
off
.
None
of
'em
ever
wore
shoes
and
they
never
will
.
If
I
send
'em
back
home
I
'll
have
to
tell
the
whole
story
,
and
what
'll
she
think
of
me
?
I
want
that
girl
worse
than
ever
,
Billy
,
and
now
when
she
's
in
reach
I
've
lost
her
forever
because
I
tried
to
be
funny
when
the
thermometer
was
at
102
.
"
"
Keep
cheerful
,
"
said
the
optimistic
Keogh
.
"
And
let
'em
open
the
store
.
I
've
been
busy
myself
this
afternoon
.
We
can
stir
up
a
temporary
boom
in
foot-gear
anyhow
.
I
'll
buy
six
pairs
when
the
doors
open
.
I
've
been
around
and
seen
all
the
fellows
and
explained
the
catastrophe
.
They
'll
all
buy
shoes
like
they
was
centipedes
.
Frank
Goodwin
will
take
cases
of
'em
.
The
Geddies
want
about
eleven
pairs
between
'em
.
Clancy
is
going
to
invest
the
savings
of
weeks
,
and
even
old
Doc
Gregg
wants
three
pairs
of
alligator-hide
slippers
if
they
've
got
any
tens
.
Blanchard
got
a
look
at
Miss
Hemstetter
;
and
as
he
's
a
Frenchman
,
no
less
than
a
dozen
pairs
will
do
for
him
.
"
"
A
dozen
customers
,
"
said
Johnny
,
"
for
a
$
4,000
stock
of
shoes
!
It
wo
n't
work
.
There
's
a
big
problem
here
to
figure
out
You
go
home
,
Billy
,
and
leave
me
alone
.
I
've
got
to
work
at
it
all
by
myself
.
Take
that
bottle
of
Three-star
along
with
you
--
no
,
sir
;
not
another
ounce
of
booze
for
the
United
States
consul
.
I
'll
sit
here
to-night
and
pull
out
the
think
stop
.
If
there
's
a
soft
place
on
this
proposition
anywhere
I
'll
land
on
it
.
If
there
is
n't
there
'll
be
another
wreck
to
the
credit
of
the
gorgeous
tropics
.
"
Keogh
left
,
feeling
that
he
could
be
of
no
use
.
Johnny
laid
a
handful
of
cigars
on
a
table
and
stretched
himself
in
a
steamer
chair
.
When
the
sudden
daylight
broke
,
silvering
the
harbour
ripples
,
he
was
still
sitting
there
.
Then
he
got
up
,
whistling
a
little
tune
,
and
took
his
bath
.
At
nine
o'clock
he
walked
down
to
the
dingy
little
cable
office
and
hung
for
half
an
hour
over
a
blank
.
The
result
of
his
application
was
the
following
message
,
which
he
signed
and
had
transmitted
at
a
cost
of
$
33
:
TO
PINKNEY
DAWSON
,
Dalesburg
,
Ala.
