 Wondering who the stranger could be, and what business he could have with him, and speculating as to what the message so strangely communicated could portend Dorison lit cigar and wandered into the office. Pacing up and down the long corridor he thought upon the singularity of events which had crowded upon him during the previous forty-eight hours.
 While he was speculating upon the possible outcome of these events, Cath cart suddenly appeared before him.
 "You were wholly right" he said quietly, before Dorison could remark upon his failure to appear in time. "It is the hand and the glove as well. l ob- served the gloves as he put them on." Dorison stared at him in astonishment A light broke upon him.
 "You were the man with the black hair and beard," he said.
 "Yes; didn't you know me?'
 "Know you. did not dream it was you. You were completely disguised" !"
 "You did your work excellently we'll, " said Cathcart, ignoring the compliment, as if disguises were matters of hourly

If were to do so in this case would dismiss all idea of young Eustace being implicated in that murder as preposterous. had my lesson, however, twenty years ago. was given the work of tracing the mur- der of whole family in a town in Hi nois. Indications pointed to a young girl living in the family When I saw her sweet, soft, innocent eyes, her face almost angelic in it's expression and hel pretty, coaxing manners, l dismissed suspicion of her and went off on a theory which led to nothing. She moved away and two years after was caught in the very act of crime. Having been con victed, she confessed these murders, anG an examination into her life showed hel to be monster of depravity.

 "1 have neither returned to nor aban doned that theory" replied Cathcart. '' hold everything in abeyance pending further inquiry. Our puzzle does no ft-the pieces do not match. We sup posed that the wearer of that glove wa tall and slim, with brown hair. Il other words, that the wearer of tn glove, the tall, slim man, and tn walker in Union square were one an' the same man. What we have discoV cred is that the wearer of the glove one person. Whether the tall, slin man and the exquisite of Union squar are one or two persons has yet to be deter mined. My theory has gone astray jus so far. What was it we learned i schooP 'Falsus in uno falsus in omn bus If am wrong in one particular may be wrong in all."
 "Eustace could not have been eithe the caller at stated intervals nor the e1 quisite of Union square, exquisite thoug he is."

 Because he has been continuously al 5 sent from the country for six year until four months ago."
 Another complexity. Why should | | return home after so long an absence | murder two inoffensive women" ''He is a surgical student, havin !, studied here and abroad" said Dorison ] "The devil" said Cathcart. "Tt proofs accumulate against him. Yo know that to be true?"
 His friend Bushnell told me so." 5 1.-The case presents more perplexiti' than any ever was engaged in."
