 Dorison, who had taken his seat, did not make any remark, principally, per haps, because none was addressed to him, and perhaps, for the other, that he did know in what character he was pre- sented to these people, and therefore waited for some cue from Cathcart.
 The old detective now turned abruptly D Dorison and said:
 "Mr. Dudley, that man Langdon, in whose identity you have an interest for your own case, as have with reference to his possible relations to the Parishes, enters Madison square every morning and crosses to Twenty-third street. Through my urgency Miss Belknap has consented to accompany you to the square to see if she can recognize the man you will point out to her. 1 will be in the square at the same time."
 Before Dorison could seek further in formation young lady attired for the street entered. Dorison thought that an expression upon her face indicated that she was not well pleased with the mis- sion she was about to enter upon, but also thought he recognized, with some self fattery, that when he was presented the expression changed to one of satis- faction. At all events she accepted him graciously.
 "Now, you cannot get there any too quickly" said Cathcart, with his ener- getic manner, hurrying them off.

 Both were evidently under some con- straint, feeling, as Dorison put it after ward, as if they had been pitchforked together.
 "Perhaps, Miss Belknap," he said, "you will do me the favor of explaining the purpose and object of this expedi- tion."
 The lady cast an upward glance of in credulity as she asked:
 "Do you not know?" Beyond the fact that have been im- peratively summoned from my slumbers at an unconscionably early hour, and that am to point out man whom you are to say whether or not you recognize. know absolutely nothing"
 Really" replied the young lady, as fun and mischief twinkled in her eyes, causing Dorison to reflect that those organs were very pretty and attractive, ''really, our adventure is beginning to take on an air of mystery. Are you always so amiable that you obey sum- mons without knowing the reason of them?"
 Dorison perceived she did not believe his assertion, and was desiring him to understand she thought he was mildly chaffng her.
 q assure you what 1 say is true," he returned earnestly. You have no idea what an memorable master you engage when you employ Mr. Cathcart. He has reduced me to such a state of submission that run, fetch and carry at the least nod of his imperious head, or at the least crook of his potent fingers"
 Do you mean to say," she asked, hel eyes dancing with merriment, "that he has not confided to you his purpose 1T sending us out?'
 ''He has not confded anything to me He rarely does,' replied Dorison lugu briously. "When my curiosity is ex cited slightly he sits down on me crush ingly with the remark that he confide' his plans to no one, and 1 remain silen with fear and trembling"
 The little lady laughed outright at tn, mock confession of submission, and in quired:
 "Is not this connected with the searcl for the murderer of Mrs. Parish anC poor Anne? And are you not interested in +boca ,>Oo,- oroo
 "As you, or any one else, reading al account of their shocking murder, migh be-" he replied "But l never eve1 heard of them until after they wer dead" following what he supposed to b the clew given him by the old detectiv in his introduction.
 "I cannot understand it," said tn
 young lady "What relation do yo bear to MT. Cathcart's search for tn
 murderer?"
 "None."
 "Why does he call upon you for tha service you so much lament then?" sh persisted.
 "Mr. Cathcart is conducting an ir quiry in a matter which closely concern and affects mean inquiry which he ha : undertaken at my desire" "Oh," she cried merrily, you hay

 some relation to my affair. Does he als think he has relation to the Parish mul - der?"
 The young lady thawed somewhat c : this remark. Why, Dorison could nc | | imagine, and he could not take the tin ! to consider, She replied, however: u "I will enlighten you to the best ( y my ability. The day after the murde ; Mr. Cathcart came to our house, SC, there by our minister, MT. Carman,
