81 have had rather singular adven-

to tell you"
The old man opened newspaper lying
beside him and spread it over the papers
lying on his table.
Having done this to his satisfaction,
he swung his chair around so that he
faced Dorison, and said:
''Tell it to me in detail"
To do this it was necessary to again
go back to that evening when Dorison
wandered to Twenty-ninth street and
Third avenue-that evening so fruitful
of results. Dorison consumed half an
hour in the recital of his adventure, dur
ing which Cathcart listened intently,
interposing neither word, motion nor
gesture, keeping his keen, bright eyes
on Dorison's face.
"You have told it well and clearly"

you tell is more important than you
suppose, imagine. One part confirms
a theory l hardly dared to entertain.
You must heed that warning of the
woman"
Dorison laughed in derision.
81 give it no Importance" he said; ''I
told it simply as showing why the wom-
an wrote me-"
''But you must give it importance"
said Cathcart earnestly. Dosing is a
western term for sandbagging a man.
1t means something"
Threatened men live long" laughed
Dorison.
The old detective glanced irritably at
the young man, saying:
"You are self sufficient at times, and
when you are you display your ignorance
Of the ways of the world"
He took up book of telegraph blanks
and rapidly scrubbed Il telegram, hand
ing it to Dorison.
will you do me the favor of sending
that when you leave here? You may
read it."
Dorison did so with some interest. 1t
was addressed to private detective in
Chicago:
Find as soon as possible whether
Harry Langdon was ever known by any
other name"
Dorison inquired whether the person
to whom the dispatch was addressed
would know who was meant.
Very well. I have had previous cor
respondence on the matter. The officer
on Pittston," he continued abruptly
''has been able to find out very little
about him. So far as his life is con.
cerned he seems to be engaged in nc
business-idIing his time innocently
1t is explained, however, by the news
you bring me that was recognized by
him. They have suspended whatever
business they were up to until they fine

think I'm here on a visit only. Ont

! ''No; have tried to, without success.

Wondering what was the reason o
this sudden change of policy, Dorisol
promised.

S "Now, get away. I've work to do"
S AS Dorison went out of the room, Cath

So soon as the officer had hurried OF
after Dorison, Cathcart gathered up b
papers on the table and placed them in
wooden box on the floor, which he locke
, carefully. Downing his topcoat an
taking his hat, he went out, walking t
the Bowery. Here he sought a dru
store, and entering. asked permission

dress he desired, he took an up boun

Arriving at the corner of Fifty-sixt
