~:
On the flor lay the body Of gray hatred
1rO1nHn.
Cathcart made his way hastily to Pine
street, where he entered the Office of a
real estate agent. one who had charge of
the Blocker street property. The agent
was willing to tell all he knew, but it
was not much. About two weeks pre-
vionslv an elderly woman had called
upon him to rent the floor where the
murder had taken place. She had said
that the necessity of earning an income
had only recently made itself felt, and
she wanted to open costumer's business,
with which. in her younger days. she
had been familiar: that while she could,
IT it were required, present references,
still, as she had for twenty-five years
been regarded as independent in circum-
stances. she did not care to call upon
them and would therefore pay the rent
quarterly in advance: and this sha
thought was all the more necessary, as
she had determined to conduct her bust
ness under the name OF Madame Della
mour; as matter of fact her name was
Farish-Mrs. Emma Farish-and her ad-
dress was number East Sixteenth
street. Who the young woman reported
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 at the foot of the
steps Of the dwelling. A policeman
stood at the t ot OF the steps, and an
other guarded tho door at the top.
"They have brought. the body of the
girl to the house of Mrs. Parrish" no
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 charger"
captain Lawton."
He mounted the steps. and though the
guardian Of the door stopped him. he
said, ~ am on this business and must
see Captain Lawton."
He stepped through the door and en-.
counterel the captain in the hall.
'They have brought the body OF the
8lrl mere then: ne SAID.
The captain stared at him. and with.
out reply pointed to the door LEADING
into the parlor.
He entered. Accustomed rs he was tt
such scenes. this one shocked him.
On the floor lay the body Of IA cray
haired woman AS in the other case,
she was weltering in her blood The
two had been killed in similar manner.
The captain had followed him to the
door, keenly observant Of him. Turning,
he said:
"Mrs Farish?"
The captain nodded in acquiescence.
Madame Delamour:" he added.
An expression of wonder passed owe,
the detectives face. and bidding Cath
cart follow him. no led the way up stairs
and into the front room on the second
floor, closing the door after him.
'Now then" he said. what do Won
mean by that?"
'By WHAT" asked Cathcart in return.
"By calling Mrs. Parish Madame
Delamour.
because Madame Delamour was Mrs,
Parish"
''How do you know that?"
1.-The same way you do"
"But don't know it,"
'One Of your men called on the agent
who has charge of the Blocker street
property before did. and was told the
two We're one. us was. Madame Della

business of costuming under-real name,

"Ah! was called here before he could
report. But who are you? What are
you interfering in this case for? What
interest have you in it,"
"What" said Cathcart, with rs near
an expression of surprise rs he could
achieve. ~ have lived for year with
in gunshot Of Your headquarters and

sternly.
