Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-11-14

As nc approached he fTcd htS eyes upon
 DOriSon.
 to which place he was at; after this call Langdon walked up Twenty-eighth or Twenty-ninth street, as the case might be, to Madison avenue, thence to Madl- son square, crossing diagonally to the corner of Twenty-third street, thence to Sixth avenue, to a restaurant, where he breakfasted and where he read the pa pers for an hour or two, and met one or two of a half dozen who came to see him there; from thence he went whither chance or fancy led him; he had the en- tree 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 ire quent attendant upon the theaters.
 In telling Dorison of this report, Cath cart says it was the best shadow work that had ever been done for him.
 While these days were passing, the ac- quaintanCc between DOrison and young Eustace was fast ripening into intimacy. The two young men saw much of each others apartments, and frequented the theaters together.
 Carried by his friend to the Eustace residence, he had been received with great civility and with every apparent | disposition to treat him as a friend of the young gentleman of the house He had | been presented to the ladies of the fam | fly and had been received cordially, and especially by the one he had rescued, with all the warmth his service deserved and all the reserve modesty demanded. Charmed with the household, he for tho ort hA Tlo X-it,Cr y1hi1o with in it.
 In time he was invited to a formal dinner and gladly accepted the invita- ton as determining his status as a friend of the family.
 On this occasion, after the ladies had retired from the table, the elder MT. Eustace, moving to seat beside Dori- son, again referred to the extraordinary resemblance the latter bore to his father. In an endeavor to avoid denying a rela- tionship, Dorison tried to divert the con- versation. Mir. Eustace, however, was | politely persistent, seeking to inquire into the antecedents of his guest, with a view to finding if he could not establish blood connection.
 Dorison was not adroit ill his fence and contented himself with simply say ing that he was from Dubuque, and there fore could not be supposed to bear any relation to so old a New York family | Indeed, his effort to escape a discussion of the subject was so marked that MT Eustace forebore further questioning Dorison SAW at once that he had commit ted blunder, for the old gentleman froze to him immediately. Too scrupu lously polite to offer indignity to gues whom he had deliberately invited to hi table, nevertheless MT. Eustace made Dorison feel uncomfortable, so uncom fortable, indeed, that he seized the frs opportunity to steal away.
 The episode greatly annoyed Dorison first, because it foreshadowed an inter ruption in the relations he had just estab lished with the Eustace household, and secondly, because he had stupidly evadeC the very opportunity to induce MT. Eus tace to talk about his own relations t. the elder Dorison, Cathcart had so earn estly desired him to make.
 AS it was, he went to bed thoroughl disgusted with himself, and wholly dis satisfied with the life he was leading. Quite early, that is to say early for tn habits he had fallen into, he was arouse by message from Cathcart, brough him by the officer who had shadowe Langdon, and who seemed permanent r attached to the old detective The mes O sage bade him go as soon as he could number - East Twentieth street.
 Dorison had now been long enough i ' association with the old man not to b surprised at any message. He therefor hastenel to comply, but yet wonderin what it could portend and what tn house was to which he was called ' Without word upon the part of th servant, he was ushered into richl - furnished apartment upon the right ( \ the hall, At first his eyes, not yet accu J toned to the darkened room, could bI
 dimly distinguish three figures, but | soon realized he was in the presence (
 an old lady, an elderly, clerical lookin
 gentleman and Cathcart.
 "This is the young gentleman" sai
 Cathcart, rising as he entered. = '"Mrs. Belknap, introduce to you M
 Dudley; Mr Carman. Mir Dudley, tf
 Rev. MT. Carman."
 Motioning to Dorison to be seated,

 which seemed to make him the lead,
