Within
a
week
a
suitable
building
had
been
secured
in
the
Calle
Grande
,
and
Mr.
Hemstetter
's
stock
of
shoes
arranged
upon
their
shelves
.
The
rent
of
the
store
was
moderate
;
and
the
stock
made
a
fine
showing
of
neat
white
boxes
,
attractively
displayed
.
Johnny
's
friends
stood
by
him
loyally
.
On
the
first
day
Keogh
strolled
into
the
store
in
a
casual
kind
of
way
about
once
every
hour
,
and
bought
shoes
.
After
he
had
purchased
a
pair
each
of
extension
soles
,
congress
gaiters
,
button
kids
,
low-quartered
calfs
,
dancing
pumps
,
rubber
boots
,
tans
of
various
hues
,
tennis
shoes
and
flowered
slippers
,
he
sought
out
Johnny
to
be
prompted
as
to
names
of
other
kinds
that
he
might
inquire
for
.
The
other
English-speaking
residents
also
played
their
parts
nobly
by
buying
often
and
liberally
.
Keogh
was
grand
marshal
,
and
made
them
distribute
their
patronage
,
thus
keeping
up
a
fair
run
of
custom
for
several
days
.
Mr.
Hemstetter
was
gratified
by
the
amount
of
business
done
thus
far
;
but
expressed
surprise
that
the
natives
were
so
backward
with
their
custom
.
"
Oh
,
they
're
awfully
shy
,
"
explained
Johnny
,
as
he
wiped
his
forehead
nervously
.
"
They
'll
get
the
habit
pretty
soon
.
They
'll
come
with
a
rush
when
they
do
come
.
"
One
afternoon
Keogh
dropped
into
the
consul
's
office
,
chewing
an
unlighted
cigar
thoughtfully
.
"
Got
anything
up
your
sleeve
?
"
he
inquired
of
Johnny
.
"
If
you
have
it
's
about
time
to
show
it
.
If
you
can
borrow
some
gent
's
hat
in
the
audience
,
and
make
a
lot
of
customers
for
an
idle
stock
of
shoes
come
out
of
it
,
you
'd
better
spiel
.
The
boys
have
all
laid
in
enough
footwear
to
last
'em
ten
years
;
and
there
's
nothing
doing
in
the
shoe
store
but
dolcy
far
nienty
.
I
just
came
by
there
.
Your
venerable
victim
was
standing
in
the
door
,
gazing
through
his
specs
at
the
bare
toes
passing
by
his
emporium
.
The
natives
here
have
got
the
true
artistic
temperament
.
Me
and
Clancy
took
eighteen
tintypes
this
morning
in
two
hours
.
There
's
been
but
one
pair
of
shoes
sold
all
day
.
Blanchard
went
in
and
bought
a
pair
of
fur-lined
house-slippers
because
he
thought
he
saw
Miss
Hemstetter
go
into
the
store
.
I
saw
him
throw
the
slippers
into
the
lagoon
afterwards
.
"
"
There
's
a
Mobile
fruit
steamer
coming
in
tomorrow
or
next
day
,
"
said
Johnny
.
"
We
ca
n't
do
anything
until
then
.
"
"
What
are
you
going
to
do
--
try
to
create
a
demand
?
"
