DOran's Friends Hitter.
Doran's defeat by such an over
whelming vote was the surprise of the
primaries and his supporters were bit
ter in their denunciation of the tactics
employed by Kiefer. One of them pro-

was to eject DR.. Robillard bodily. The
doctor declared that he was for Doran
and wanted to make a speech. The
caucus listened to some speeches and

Then he read aloud:

Perhaps he read it more than once, but
only one time aloud. 1t seemed to please

very important capacity. John Hudson
knew the young mans worth and had
thought seriously of promoting him, tor ne

"They are talking of nothing else"
replied the doctor. "The excitement is
raging. The proprietor has called in
the police to prevent the crowd from
going upstairs"
Hendricks peered into the ballroom.
He saw the two ladies' entering the
cloakroom.

grunted. He led Lampkin outside, and
they stood together near the ladies'
entrance till he saw the coachman in
the Huntington livery rein in his horses
near the awning. A moment later Mrs.
Winfret emerged in her flowing wraps,
accompanied by her statuesque niece.
AS soon as their carriage had rolled
away Hendricks bounded across the
sidewalk to an open hanson.
"Follow that carriage" he said,
| brusquely, to the driver, and he jumped
| into the cab and was followed by the
| doctor.
"All right, SIR" said the driver,
through the hole in the roof.
AS they bowled away Hendricks
looked up at the windows of Caruthers'
rooms.
"Jamb full of sightseers!" he
sneered. sergeant Denham is in his

and gloating over his Importance. II

The Huntington residence was on
Fifth avenue, not half a mile from
tho hotel, and it required only few
minutes for the ladies to reach home.
AS Hendricks and his companion
Alighted, and were paying their fare
they saw the white-clad figures mount

flashed across the street as they were
