The young lady resented his tone and re-

which did not encourage further question

Before the young lady, if she had de-
sired, could inqnire further, Cathcart
said:
Now, Mr.. Dudley, 1 must see you.
Come with me-"
Dorison fingered only to take polite leave

$50 would anyone think who knew what

angrily "But now he is doing the high
and mighty, and swears if l push him any
further he'll kick the whole bucket over
and land nc in Jail for life, even if it ruins
him. He says he'd rather die than be the
slave he has been to me for the last three
years.

They went into the street, Langdon re-
naming at the door. Plttston first walked
TO the corner of Twenty third street, and
! turning came back and went in the direc-
ton of Twenty fourth street.
AS he disappeared Langdon muttered:
The chase ended when they ran him
down TO me. he is not followed"
At that very moment the officer was
close on the heels OF Pittstou az he walked
up Twenty fourth street to Broadway.

POSSIBLY it does to you. Nevertheless

"The name of the many was Harry
