The next morning Robert started for New York.
CHAPTER XXIV.
ROBERT MEETS HIS EMPLOYER.
Robert Rudd had been in New York more than once, and he therefore had no difficulty in finding out the fine hotel on Broadway known as the St. Nicholas.
He entered it, and, walking up to the desk, inquired, "Is Mr. John Fitzgerald staying here?"
"Yes," answered the clerk. "Do you wish to see him?"
"If you please."
"Then write your name on a card and I will send it up."
Robert did so.
