Dorison without reply went at once to
the restaurant designated as the one daily
visited by Langdon. Entering, he sat him
self at table In the middle OF the room,

AS he looked about, Dorison could see
neither Laudgon nor Pittston, and feared
that he had gone into the wrong place. Elk

him an opening in the side wall--a passage

the eating saloon.
He rose from his chair to investigate,
and walking down the room saw that
the cashiers desk was so placed as TO com
mand both rooms. On this desk was a
mirror tilted forward so that the cashier
could, with slight turn of his head, OBJ
serve each of the two rooms. Dorison
also found that by taking q seat at a table
next the opening he could see each occupant
of the front part of the next room.
| He therefore changed TO this table and
Immediately discovered the pair he was in
search OF. Sitting at table situated rela-
| lively as the one ne was seated at, with
only the wall between the two, Langdon
and Pittston were deeply engaged in con
versatlon.
Pittston was telling tale which evil

penion.
In the meantime Dorison's breakfast was
served ana eaten. He had not heard d word
of the conversation Of the two he
had come to watch, nor did there
seem to be any likelihood that he would
be able TO hear any of it. He had, how
ever, established two facts. Pittston had
sought LongGon as Cathcart had foreseen,
and confidential relations existed between
them. Believing he could do no more, he
was about to depart, when the street door
OF the room he was in opened and the Off
Ger the OLD detective used as shadow en-
tered.
Dorison beckoned to him.
"Do you want to see meg" he asked, as
the officer came to him.
The old man wants me to follow and re-
port man he thinks is here with Lang
don, " was the whispered reply.
Dorison pointed to the mirror.
Eyes, the one talking to LangGon. Now
, get away SO they will not see you talking
to me.'
The officer was not moment too soon in

| from their table and went to the cashier S
desk.
Turning indiferently as he leaned on the
desk Langdon saw Dorison and started
| with surprise, scowllng at him meanwhile.
) Dorison maintained his composure, con-
Quoting himself as if he did not recognize
him as the man he had met that morning.
Calling the waiter Dorison gave him
something more than the amount of his
t check, and without waiting for the change

that Langdon had directed the attention OF
2 his companion to him, Dorison.
