Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-11-14

, Cnls episode, which Cathcart had made strong connecting link in his chain of reasoning, but now it came back to him with great force and he perceived the importance recognition would have.
 By this time they had reached the cor ner of Twenty-third street and Broad way, and he suggested they should cross into the park. As they did so she con eluded her statement. Therefore certain MT. Langdou, with whose personal appearance you are familiar, has fallen under MT. Cath carts suspicious, and we are bent on an errand of discovery-to see whether this MT. Langdon is the one whom l saw walking with Anne Parish "And are we to keep on walking un. til we meet this man." asked Dorison lightly.
 "1 presume so," replied the young lady, ''since we have fallen under the power of this man who you say is so in- exorable tyrant. How do you like play ing detective, MT. DudleyT' The question was put so suddenly that at first Dorison thought it was trap laid for him-that she had penetrated the part he was playing. Her next re- mark, however, dispelled the suspicion. She said:
 'I enjoy it; it gives me an excitement l do not often have. Do you suppose MT. Cathcarts suspicious rest upon this man as the murderer?" "It is difficult to follow MT. Cath ! carts mind" he answered soberly. "He may be the very man he has under sus- picion, or to identify him may be only a step in the maze he is following. Few will ever know until the end just what his thoughts are. He is very skillful and wonderfully able His sagacity, acuteness and reasoning powers are mar velous to me-"
 "I," said Miss Belknap, whose quick eyes had perceived Cathcart in an ad- | joining path, Eff he imposes onerous and unwelcome duties upon others, he does not shrink from them himself. See There he is, also attending a ladye faire'"
 "The plot thickens," remarked Dori- son. "Who can she be? And what does he propose to do with her? Evidently she is servant"
 "He does not appear to be an attentive cavalier, with his chin upon his breast and his hands in his vest pockets" com l
 "He is profoundly thinking. When he carries his hands so, he is. And he is utterly unconscious of his habit"
 They walked on, chatting easily. As they neared the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Madison avenue, Dorison saw the person they had come to observe ap- preaching. He was passing in front of the Garden building.
 "Cathcart has timed our walk well, D he said There comes our man, Lang don."
 "Oh, indeed. Where?"
 Immediately in front of the Garden doors."
 Are we tH turn back?"
 Better go forward and pass him slowly"
 Should we not indicate to MT. Cath cart that the man is coming?''
 By no means. He would not thank us for that. Do not fear he will miss the man he has routed us out so early tc see."
 By this time they had reached the crossing of Madison avenue and Lang don had already stepped down on it from the other side. As he approached he fixed his eyes upon Dorison, scowling as he did so, thus enabling Miss Belknap tc take a fair look at him without being observed As soon as he had passed out of hearing she said:
 'That is the man. It is he without question:"
 This with tone admitting of nc doubt
 "He recognized you, and does not re gard you with favor," she added. Dorison told the young lady of his en counter with him at the time of his res cue of Miss Eustace, concluding his tai. with these words: "I presume no man can philosophical Iy receive such humiliation from lady before other men, especially after h, |, has boasted of a friendship betwee1 , them"
 They had walked up Madison avenu, as he talked, but now Miss Belknap said Our task is done. l must return home"
 "l hope am not to take your remarl
 as dismissal, but shall be permitted t. s accompany you to your door?" a "Thank you," said the lady, thus giv
 ing her consent. Arriving they fount a Cathcart at the door viewing with hig1
 displeasure their slow approach.
 "I have been waiting for you at leas
 ten minutes" he said sharply. l The young lady resented his tone an' ? replied: 8 "That is to be regretted-by you."
 But, impervious to the sarcasm, Cath f cart said: s "Well, is it the man?" n Yes" . "It was the same man?" His fac
 lighted up. n "Unquestionably would have know f him among hundred. He is noticeabl a enough"
 Cathcart was evidently greatly pleased f "Come," he cried. i've are getting o famously." f "Did you learn anything?" asked tn n young lady. f "Much," was the answer, in ton l al
