Enter n New Character.
At this point in the development Of
this drama of society scandal, other
dramatis perSOnae must be brought for
ward. AT O'Clock this morning r. l..
Upshur, son of Commodore }. II. Up
shur, appeared at quarantine. having
with him tail, full-faced man with
dingy yellow top-coat and tight trousers,
who resembled 4 coachman. To avoid
suspicion and TO keep him from coming
i'll contact with newspaper men. Upshur
kept him in continual conversation UNI
til noon, when he went to lunch. To
avoid being surprised he left the man
with the yellow top-cOat to keep watch
for the Majestic. .~
While Upshur was away It was learned
that the mans name was Packer and
that he is enachman for Mrs. Bradley
Martin. He for six years served in the
same capacity for j. Coleman Drayton,
and told every one about the dock thar
he was simply to go on board to arrange
Drayton's baggage. He afterwards said
he had read all the stories that had been
printed about the Drayton-BorrOWe
scandal and would try 10 get to Mr..
Drayton and warn him of the presence
of a crowd of newspaper men and bear
a note from Mr.. Upshur to Drayton.
Upshur, in q general conversation,
finally intimated that he was there to
look after the interests of Drayton. He
said on this subject: "You know Mr..
Borrowe has one of his seconds on
board, and as | am perhaps the closest
friend that Drayton has, l wanted to DO
here to look out for his interests"

While the authority shall be name
less, and though the continuity of this
story may seem broken by so doing, this
contest IS appropriate for injecting the
statement that few inmates before
the Majestic hove in sight the cause OF
the first trouble between Mr.. DTayton
and Mr.. Borrowe was learned from
man who certainly was in position
to know, for he spent much OF his
time at Mr.. DraytOn's country
home, Crows Nest, at Bernardsville,
N. j., five years.ago, when, he says, Mr..
BorrOWe brought number of dogs into
the stable of Mr.. Drayton, and there
had brutal and disgusting dog fight.
When this came 10 the ears OF Mr..
Drayton, he said that it was not the act
of gentleman, and at once proclaimed
in his house that he no longer recog-
nizeed Mr.. BorrOwe as q friend. 1t is
said that the two men have not spoken
since that day.
Mr.. Upshur and the servant Packer
were of the boarding party who went
OUT lillOuRl LuC lOE W IllC D4S olOdllSls
Once aboard they rushed about the ship
and spent nearly ten minutes before
they found Mr.. Drayton. When Packer
finally spotted him he was surrounded
by reporters. Upshur rushed up, and,
putting bundle of newspaper clippings
in his hand, excitedly said: Read this;
read it carefully; it is of great impor-
tance." In the meantime DraytoE was
Showed Into His Berth
and the servant Packer was put on
guard at the door, with instructions to
lei no one in under any circumstances.
After Packer had gone inside could be
heard frequently the exclamation.
That's singular, that's singular" and
then voice Immediately, that Of
Packer, could be heard whining in
affirmation, lawful, awful" Upshur
rushed back in a moment and went
into DraytOn's room, and while the door
was opened to admit him Drayton
was seen sitting back i'm a chair.
Upshur reappeared and drifted away
into the crowd on deck. and when next
seen by the reporters he was talking
earnestly to her grace the Duchess of
who was a passenger.
Said Mr.. Upshur:
"Mr. Dravton will look over this mat
Ter, anu all LlidJ Has Dotl puOllSUtu Will
be carefully read. After a consultation
with some OF his friends lie will decide
what course to pursue" Mr.. Upshur
said that to his knowledge Drayton.and
Borrowe had only met once. and that
was on the promenade deck. One of
the passengers, whose name could not
be learned, but who said he knew both
men well, told of another meeting and
described it. Drayton and the Duchess
of Marlborough had been promenadiDg
on deck, and started down the com.
panionway staircase. Borrowe started
ND the steps at the same moment Dray-
ton turned to the duchess as if to speak
to her. whereat they both retreated a
step, and, turning their backs, allowed
Borrowe to pass.
Her Grace's Version.
The Duchess of Marlborough when
asked about the episode on the stairway,
colored slightly and said: sOh. yes, Mr..
Drayton asked NE to step aside a mo-
ment and afterwards explained that a
man he did not want TO meet was COM
ing up the steps at the time.
