were one and the same man. Wnat we
have discovered is that the wearer of the
glove is one person. Whether the tall, slim
man and the exquisite of Union square
are one or two persons has yet to be deter
mined. My theory has gone astray just so
far. What was il we learned in school!
'Falsus in uno falsus in omnibus If am
wrong in one particular l may be wrong in
ALL"
"Eustace could not have been either the
caller at stated intervals nor the exquisite
OF Union square, exquisite though he Is"
"Why!n
Because he has been continuously alb
sent from the country for six years until
four months ago."
Another complexity. Why should he
return home after long an absence to muir
der two inoffensive women?n
HE is a surgical student, having studied
here and abroad said Dorson.
1.-THE devil!' said Cathcart. ''The proofs
accumulate against him. You know that
to be true?''
His friend Bushnell told me So"
'The case presents more perplexities
than any ever was engaged in"
''Those gloves were not made in this
country said Dorison irreleyantly, though
thoughtfuily.
Just what have been thinking since
you told me he has but recently returned
from Europe. Well" continued the old
detective, there has been substantial gain.
We have discovered the owner of the glove,
and at the proper time we can compel him
to explain its close proximity to the body
Of the murdered woman. He must have
had some relation to the woman, ard, If not
guilty OF the murder, must be possessed OF
knowledge concerning them. You must
gain his confidence You are in a fair way
to do it,
81 never entered upon an enterprise with
greater reluctance or loathing," replied
Dorison. 81 freely confess l have an ex-
traordinary liking for the young fellow.
1t seems like treachery to seek his friend
ship to his own undoing."
"That does not necessarily follow.n
sharply replied Cathcart. But you must
put aside all such notions if you propose to
succeed in your search. Recollect the In
terest you have at stake-the rehabilita-
ton Of your own good name"
81 KNOW, l know" hastily responded
Dorison. Nothing shall swerve me from
that. But even with this before me can
not repress feeling of regret for that
proud father and tender sister when
disaster shall overtake the son and brother,
nor the remorse feel in Anticipation that l
shall bean instrument of its precipitation
BETTER curb that imagination of yours
until you see that you have precipitated
disaster upon them" said Cathcart can
temptuously, evidently annoyed at what he
thought was a lack of proper spirit.
a moment later, his mind having re
verified to the practical bearings of the
matter, he said
Cultivate an intimacy; become visitor
to his family; impress yourself upon the
father, and get him to talk of your OWE
father, if possible"
Nettled, stung indeed, by the way the old
man had treated his sentimental outburst
Dorison steeied himself and replied CURLY
Give me your instructions. They shall
be obeyed to the best of my ability"
The old man fixed his keen eyes upon the
younger one for moment, and turned as
if to leave him. AS he did so Dorisor
hastily placed his hand on the detectives
arm, OBTAINING him and whispering:
"Do you see that man who has just en-
tered alone"
eyes"
''That is the one who crossed my path
three times yesterday-frst, when | res
cued Miss Eustace; second, when [ saw
him have that mysterious meeting al
Twenty ninth street and Third avenue and
lastly when he attempted to speak with
Eustace and was rebuffed"
"Ahp' said Cathcart as he closely
watched the young man walk up the long
corridor.
Tall slim and brown haired" he NUT
tered.

added Cathcsrt.
Dorison felt his heart bound.
"Dissipated and fast in appearance"
Dorison saw the resem blance and tht
, pertinency of the old detectives words.

continued Cathcart. Stay where you ar
,, and keep yourself out of sight"

He went directly TO the art gallery al
