"He was intimate with your father

The old man keenly regarded the

II believe success is more surely at

replied Cathcart calmly.
Il do not complain" replied Dorison
hastily. l recognize my own want OF
skill, and therefore am content to obey
implicitly"
"And thereby the most useful Now

Dorison, as he walked away from
Cathcart, felt as If he was very mex
perienced man, and had much yet 10
learn Of the ways Of the world.
10 was in this frame OF mind that he
sought the Hoffman House for break
fast. The hour was not early, and he
was enabled 10 obtain one Of those
tables adjoining the windows looking
out on Broadway, where he could watch
the tide of humanity as it foated by.
He was so much engroSSed in this
watching that he did not observe gen.
tleman rising from a table near him,
and cross the room 10 his own table. 1t
was Bushnell, the one whom he had
seen in the theatre the previous evening
with the man with the thumb.
Il suppose an apology for my abrupt
departure last evening is due you, Mr..
Dudley" he said.
Dorison replied courteously:
The apology was made in the very
cause Of interruption"
Il am glad you take II so politely.
I'll answer your question now. The
name OF the gentleman you inquired
about IS Eustace, and there is no better
fellow alive than Charley Eustace."
"Eustace" said Dorison in surprise.
"Eustace. indeed. What Eustace?"
HE is the son of Herbert Clavering
Eustace, an old New York family OF
wealth and social position. Charley has
been abroad for many years, having only
returned a few months ago. Do you
know the family?"
ST can hardly say do, although l
had a call from Mr.. Eustace yesterday
evening. Earlier in the day 1 had the
honor OF saving his daughter from be-
ing run cover on Broadway, and he
called TO acknowledge the service"

son. Miss EuStace was not injured,

last night when we were together. She
is charming girl"
Harrison did not reply for moment
or two. His mind was busy with
thoughts OF how S;ngularly the affairs
OF these people vera becoming tangled
with his own.
His companion ratified on:
Il saw you were much attracted to
Charley last evening. Everybody is.
He carries the stamp Of his good-fel-
iowShip on his face"
Il was much interested in him. Does
he follow a profession?"
''No; be has studied surgery here and
abroad"
Dorison gave such visible start that
his companion stopped in wondermest
and looked at him.
1T is nothing" said Dorlson, casting
about for a reason for his Involuntary
manifestation OF surprise. II saw man

from here. You say your friend studied
surgery abrOad?'
Yes, here and abroad. But / doubt
if he will ever practice il. He is indie

uncle, and he has his share in his IA

Very much indeed"
"He will dine with me tonight here

Accepting the invitation gladly the
two young men parted at the door OF
the restaurant.
