Could he not lose himself in the crowd?
He resolved to make the attempt.
But he had not the price of admission, even though it was but twenty-five cents.
Yet this did not stop the youth.
“Necessity knows no law,” and just as Daniel Hawkins drove up within a hundred feet of him he ran in among the carriages at the gateway and entered the grounds before the gatekeeper could stop him.
“Hi, boy, stop! Where is your ticket?”
The policeman near the gatekeeper made a dash after Leo.
But the boy was not to be collared.
He sprang into the midst of a crowd, and that ended the chase so far as the guardian of the law went.
Leo did not remain near the gates, but following the crowd, he walked to one of the main buildings and then to the large field beyond.
