Cathcart made his way hastily to Pine
street, where he entered the office of q
real estate agent, one who had charge of
the Bleecker street property. The agent
was willing to tell all he knew, but it was

she did not care to call upon them and
would therefore pay the rent quaterly in
advance; and this she thought was all the
more necessary, as she had determined to
conduct her business under the name of

name was E'arish--Mrs. Emma Parish
and her address was number-East Six
teenth street. Who the young woman re-
ported to have been killed in her place was
he did not know.
Upon this information Cathcart deter
mined to go directly to Mrs. Parish.
On nearing the house he saw a group of
people gathered al the foot of the steps of
the dwelling. A policeman stood at the
foot Of the steps, and another guarded the
door at the top.
They have brought the body of the girl
to the house Of Mrs. Parrish" he muttered
to himself. "She must have been nearer
than mere employee"
Reaching the foot of the steps, he said to
the policeman Who is in chargeln
Captain Lawton."
He mounted the steps and though the
guardian of the door stopped him, he said,
II am on this business and must see Can

He stepped through the door and en-
conntered the captain in the hall.

Carhcart, as he extended a card to the

The captain read the card with an unmis-

flush overspread his face. A change took
place in his manner at once.
