themselves behind the portIeres.

made an effort to calm himself. He
seated himself beside convenient "a.

began to peruse its pages in seemingly

have pardonably judged not only from
his attire, but also from his debonair,
blase manner. Any one describing
Doyle as the man who broke up the

gang in New York city would have
been laughed at for his folly. yet such
was his record. His work in scatter
ing the troupes Of election and primary
day "foaters" and "repeaters" in some
Of the most disreputable districts was
equally meritorious.
And yet Doyle had his other side.
He was growing fond of the easy life
that came from having staff of ''stool
pigeons" to do his work for him.
Jimmy Valentine turned his head
slightly to answer Doyle, who, he
well knew, came on no errand that
would benefit a released prisoner.
How are you, Doyle?' he replied
indifTerently.
Doyle's shifting, farseeing eyes, how
ever, caught tile nervous twitching of

Stockholders Get Decree.

Judge p F. Dodds of Mt. Pleasant,
sitting for Judge Miner, has rendered a
decree in the case of Rufus Rathbun
against the First National Bank Of
Durand, J. D. Leland, c. s, Reed, l..
Loucks and Geo. Brooks, ordering
them to pay $13, ,955; that 81, 500 on de-
posit in the First Commercial and
Savings Bank of Durand be paid to
those for whom it was deposited: that
defendants pay costs about $40O. The
suit was brought by stockholders of
the First National Bank which went
into liquidation three years ago, when
a new bank was organized by some of
the above defendants. The plaintiff
represented his own interest and that
of others assignee to him and the suit
was for $4,000.
The defendants are satisfied with the
decree and will not appeal as they
state they will have to pay but SO, 752
as but part of the shares were rep
resented by other than themselves.
