and kept him talking for long time,
precisely as scores OF other strangers
have done since the scene OF the n8ht
operations was transferred TO this city.
Naturally Brady was mad through ana

the club officials, who gathered at the
Arlington and expressed their opinion or
Dalton in blunt language. That indi-
vidual. however, was not within hearing
having arisen at an early hour ana dis
appeared from the hotel.

been made bona ide Corbott would not
