Not many of the Montana boys get this far from home, and I want you for exhibition purposes.

Say, John, when I saw Cinch Tight, Montana, written on the register down there it increased my circulation seven beats! You're all right, and I guess you're about as good an American as they make--anywhere--John Armitage!" The function for which the senator from Montana provided an invitation for Armitage was a large affair in honor of several new ambassadors.

At ten o'clock Senator Sanderson was introducing Armitage right and left as one of his representative constituents.

Armitage and he owned adjoining ranches in Montana, and Sanderson called upon his neighbor to stand up boldly for their state before the minions of effete monarchies.
Mrs.Sanderson had asked Armitage to return to her for a little Montana talk, as she put it, after the first rush of their entrance was over, and as he waited in the drawing-room for an opportunity of speaking to her, he chatted with Franzel, an attache of the Austrian embassy, to whom Sanderson had introduced him.

Franzel was a gloomy young man with a monocle, and he was waiting for a particular girl, who happened to be the daughter of the Spanish Ambassador.
