THE MARKED COURSE. By Lincoln CHAPTER I. The capacious dining room of the great Hotel Randolph fairly shone with the glamour and splendor of an impressive banquet scene. Hundreds of frivolous and animated men and women gaily intermingled midst the great social whirl and enticing splendor of the elaborate ceremony. The orchestra played gaily and the lights sparkled like glistening jewels, all depicting an event dedicated to the great politician. Mayor Edward Crawford.

Xow all noise in the great room ceased, the very air which hut a few seconds liefore had rung out with a noisy hub-dub had now taken a more quiet tone, all bustling passed away, the orchestra ceased playing, and it seems the very lights grew brighter.
