Red runs away to sea when eighteen and on the boat meets Mary Smith, and no lady had truer knight nor one more quixotic than Red in the strenuous days that followed in the city of Panama, where Mary went to teach the natives and Red to break broncos. A revolution, brief as a summer shower —and quite as fierce while it lasted— gives Red a splendid opportunity to exhibit his savage joyousness in battle. His resourcefulness is admirably displayed when, cartridges having become exhausted, he puts out the last sputterings of revolution with quart cans of tomatoes unerringly aimed at the unfortunate Panamanian.
