the womanl Were these the things
wanted!"
And was the son who so mysteriously
| disappeared, and who was charged with
these crimes, the murderer" shouted Mr.
Eustace, excited and losing his habitusl
control.
s'Eh, Ell, he, ehn' cried Cathcart with
eager exclamation. as if he were urging on
the chase after an idea.
ut must be so!n cried Mr.. Eustace. "It
must be sop
softly, SOFTLY" said the old detective,
putting curb upon himself. 'There are
other things. There was q glOve-by
heaven!' he almost shouted as he again
leeped 10 his feet with his hands in his vest
pockets, repeating bis tramping up and
down. "Oh, my heavens this will never
do. Could he have known of these bonds
and wanted to get the people out of the
way so he could seize them'--
He turned short upon Mr.. Eustace, who
was staring at HIM, unable to follow his
words understandingly.
"Have you ever told any one you had
these bonds!"
Never soul"
"Are you certain! This question means
q great deal"
mo one knows that l hold the bonds
given NE by Reuben Dorison except you."
You have never written about them or
MADE memorandum likely to come to the
eyes Of another personl'
mo l wrote statement of how they
came into my hands, with instructions
that they must be held by my ex-
ecutors subject TO the order spoken of by
Dolisch, but that statement was by me
placed with my will as soon as completed
and under seal immediately. The seal has
never been broken"
81 hope not: hope not" said Cathcart.
what is this tnat excites you nowp'
! Nothing that can tell you until / know
more. II were to speak now l might
heedlessly do a great wrong. Good after
noon. You will hear from me againl"
Stop one moment Mr.. Cathcart,' cried
Mr.. Eustace. There is point have been
trying TO speak OF for some time.''
''Ah! What is thatl" said Cathcart,
coming back TO the fireplace.
Some time ago my daughter was nearly
run over on Broadway, and was saved by
q young gentleman, who acted exceedingly
well in the matter. l called upon him to
make my &C nowledgements of his service
and was startled by his extraordinary re-
emblance to Dorison when he was of the
age the young man is now'
''Ah!' said Cathcart aloud, but to him
self he added, "our young friend enters.'
''He denied relationship 10 Dorison when
l spoke of it. l have met him several times
/
dinner, fof he and my son have become
quite intimate. At lhis dinner I referred
| to The resem blance again, and saw that he
was making efforts to evade the converse
zion, intact everything leading to discus
sion OF his antecedents. Suddenly the
idea occurred to me that the young man
might be one of Dorison's illegitimate
children. He gives his name as Dudley"
''Ahl' said Cathcart grayely, II will
look into this
you will have no difficulty in finding
him. He moves about a good deal. His
appointments are in Twenty ninth street"
WHAT number!" asked Cathcart, with
an interested expression in his face.
Il have forgotten, but will send it to you
after obtaining it from my son."
"rhat is unnecessary. What street is
it between?"
"Broadwsy and Fifth avenue"
THAT is all that is necessary"
$50 satisfied was | that this young man
was playing part that | strenuously OBJ
jected to his being received here as friend
of the house longer, and tried to prevent
his acting as an escort to one OF my
daughters 10 u tkeatr party my son ga q
But as that would have uecessitated h
withdrawal of invitations | yielded in this
instance, upon the understanding that he
was not to be encouraged further"
THAT was proper-very proper. Did
you give your reasons"
mo; could not, without telling more
than l would"
"Isee You have had trouble with man
named Langdon, have you not"
"Well, we haYe been annoyed by man
Of that name"
VERY true Seriously annoyed. An
noyed by his forced attentions to one of
your daughters"
Upon my word, Mr.. Cathcart, hardly
know which to admire most-the direct
ness of your speech or the scope of your
ipfOrmatlon.n
Don't be annoyed, sir. l mean only to
do you q service. The fellow is a scamp.
He is married. He has q wife. Any time
you want me to convince your daughter of
that 1 will do it, so there will be DO ques-
ton concerning it,"
Leaving MIR. Eustsce dumbfounded by
his knowledge of what was supposed to be
a.family secret, and yet appreciative of the
value of the service proffered, Cathcart
caught his hat and moved quickly to the
door.
He was back agein IN moment
II take it, Mr.. Eustace, you see the ne
cessity OF keeping these developments of
to-day strictly secret not to be talked
about. Devotion to the memory of your
dead friend would demand this, even if
Justice did not"
81 think understand my position" said
Mr.. Eustace loftily.
This time the old detective slipped out
of the door and was gone, leaving Mr..
Eustace agitated and excited, feeling much
as ii he had been caught up in whirlwind,
and after many confusing gyrations set
down where he had been taken up.
On his way to his rooms Cathcart drop
ped note to Dorison asking him to call at
his (Csthcart's) rooms that evening.
