Twenty ninth, street, as the case might
be, TO Madison avenue, thence to Madison
square, crossing diagonally to the corner
OF Iwenty-third street, thence to Sixth
avenue, to restaurant, where he break

an hour or two, and met one or two
OF half dozen who came to see
him there; from thence he went whittier
chance or fancy led him; he had the entree
TO all the gambling saloons, where he
played frequently, but irregularly, and
always faro; his haunts were places Of
fashionable resort, and he was a frequent
attendant upon the theatres"
In telling DOrsOn of this report, Cath
cart says ii was the best shadow work that
had ever been done for him.
While these days We're passing, the ac-
quantance between DoriSon and young
Eustace was fast ripening into intimacy.
The two young men saw much of each
o hers apartments, and frequented the
theatres together.
Carried by bis friend to the Eustace res
idence, he had been received with great
civility and with every apparent DISPOSE
ton TO treat him as friend of the young
gentleman of the house. He had been pre-
scented to the ladies of the family and had
been received cordially, and especially by
the one be had lescued, with all the warmth
his service deserved and all the reserve
modesty demanded.
Charmed with the household, he forgot
the part he was playing while within
il.
In time he was invited to a formal dinner
and gladly accepted the invitation as de-
termining his status as d friend of the
family.
On this occasion, after the ladies had re-
tired from the table, the elder MIR. Eustace
moving 10 seat beside Dorison, again re
the latter bore to his father. In al
endeavor to avoid denying the relationship
Dorison tried TO divert the conversation
Mr.. Eustace, however, was politely persis
tent, seeking to inquire into the atecedents
OF his guest with a view to finding if he
could not establish blood connection.
Dorison was not adroit in mis- fence anC
contented himself with simply saying tina
he was fr N Dubuque, and therefore coulC
not be supposed to bear any relation 10 ST
Old a New \ ork family. Indeed, his effor
TO escape discussion of the subject was s.
marked that MIR. Eustace forebore furthe
questioning. Dorison saw at once that b,
had committed blunder, for the OLD gen
tleman froze 10 him imm dIately Too scru
pulousiy polite to offer inaignitv to a CUES
whom he had deliberately invited to hi
table, nevertheless DR.. Eustace made Dori
son feel uncomfortable, so uncomfortable
indeed, that he seized the first opportunit,
to steal away.
The repisode greatly annoyed Dorison
first, because it foreshadoweO an interrupt
ton in the relations he had Just establishe,
with the Eus ace household, and. secondly
because he had stupidity evaded the yer,
opportunity to induce Mr.. Eustace to tall
about his own relations TO the elder Dori
son, Cathcart had so earnestly desired hin
10 make.
As it was, he went to bed thoroughly dis
gusted with himself, and wholly dissatis
fed with the life he was leading
Quite early, that is TO say early for tn
habits he had fallen into, ne was arouset
by a message from Cathcart brought hin
by the officer who had Swallowed Langdon
ard who seemed permanently attached Il
the old detective. The message babe him @
as soon as he could to No -, East Twentl
eth street.
Dorson had now been long enough i
association with the old man not TO be sur
prised at any message. He therefore hast
ened to comply, but yet wondering what
could portend and what the house was t.
which ne was called.
Without word upon the part of the ser
want, he was ushered into richly furn
ished apartment upon the right of the ha
At first his eyes, not yet accustomed to th
darkened room, could but dimly distinguis
three figures, but he soon realized ne wa

clerical looking gentleman and Cathcart
This is the goung gentleman" sal
Cathcart, rising as he entered.
.'Mrs. Belknap, l introduce to you Nh
Dudley; Mr.. Carman, Mr.. Dudley, tn
Rev Mr. Carman."
Motioning TO Dorison to be seated, as
he were dispensing the hospitality of th
house, in that masterful manner whic
seemed 10 make him the leader wherever b
was placed, the old detective continued th
remarks the entrance of Dorison had evi

essential to my search, or | would not hav
asked so great favor. And neither woul

It's Importance. His presence here is
guarantee of my good faith"
Dorlson, who had taken his seat did M
make any remark, principally, perhaps, b.
cause none was addressed to him, and per
haps, for the other, that he did not know
what character he was presented to thes
people, and therefore waited for some Gu
from Cathcart
The old detective now turned abruptly
Dorison and said
