Potter Adriance (as I've often heard since I made acquaintance with my relations) is the leader of Denver society, and is supposed once to have said with a certain emphasis: "_Who_ are the Kidders?" "Perhaps I'll just step in and see what they've got here," said Aunt Kathryn.

The room was the club-room of the Kidders, where they gathered night after night to play cards and drink illicit whiskey.

There was a fine of five hundred dollars--one half to the informer--for the misdemeanor of having whiskey in one's possession, but the Kidders had no fear.

When he returned, Billy Getz, Jack Harburger, and six of the Kidders were holding high revel in the closed bar-room of the Harburger House, but they all fell silent when the door opened and the Sheriff of Derling County entered, with Philo Gubb and three deputies in company.

Through the superb acumen of that wonderful detective, three stores of whiskey had been discovered and confiscated--one in the cellar of the Harburger House at Derlingport; one in Joe Henry's stable at Riverbank; and a smaller one in the room in the Willcox Building frequented by the "Kidders." "How I done it?" said Philo Gubb to one of his admirers.
