how and where to begin tho search for

To this the old detective made no re-
ply, but thrusting his hands in his vest
pockets, walked out of the room, and
descending the stairs entered the parlor,
where the body lay, carefully noting
every article in the room and their dis
position His keen eyes perceived some
thing lying on the floor near and par
italy under the body. He beckoned to
the captain standing at the door and
pointed to it. The officer, bending down,
said:
"Ah, a glove-a mans glove"
"a clew," said Cathcart

The captain, either because he was
much impressed by the old detective, or
because he was too great for jealousy
and was anxious for all the aid he could
secure in a dark case, took the glove and
the advice with good grace,
Cathcart, bending over the body, saw
something calling for greater attention,
and crossing to the other side, kneeled
down and narrowly examined the body.
Robbery" he muttered Something
has been torn from her breast, either be-
fore or after she was murdered"
The captain nodded.
IL was waiting to see whether my con-
clusion would be yours he said. But,
mark you, she has money and jewels on
her person. They have not been taken,
valuable papers, perhaps" said Cath
cart.
At this moment there were the sounds
of many feet at the door The officer
passed the word that the coroner and his
jury We're come to view the body.
The two detectives retired to a rear
room, reaching which Cathcart turned
suddenly upon the captain.
"You have that man who first entered
the Bleecker street room shadowed?"

LIFTS IN NEW LIGHT THROUGH CHIMES"
The captain stretched forth his hand
to pick up the glove, but Cathcart re-
strained him. Looking about the room
he found Il small straw fan. Carefully
lifting the glove at the wrist, he skill
fully thrust the fan under the glove so
that It rested upon the fan without its
form having been disturbed
The hand Of the man that will fit
tAis glove is the hand Of the man who
did this deed" said Cathcart, straighten-
ing up and carrying the glove into the
light 70 examine it. "Criinina9 have

THE HEARING EAR AND THE SEEING EYE"
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-
viously an elderly woman had called
upon him to rent the floor where. the

him to return to the city Of his birth,

of his undescrved disgrace. Absently

1t was with shock of surprise that he
