~ should say this injury was inflicted
with sand club. What are the circum-
stances!"
Before Dorison could reply Cathcart in
terfered.
Robbery, l should say. This young
man, who is my nephew, was passing
along Bond street. My friend and myself
were some distance behind him. when
three men rushed from a place of con-
cealment upon him. He heard them, for
he turned, and blow aimed for his head

heard my friend Eustace speak of your
skill"
oThe surgeon had been manipulating the
arm while Cathcart was talking

said. Take him home Immediately and
apply cloths dipped in hot water, as hot as
he can stand it. and keep this up constant
~ for four or five hours. Then to- morrow

O'clock
The physician was curt, prompt and i'm :
perative. Cathcart was disposed to engage
him in conversation. But DR.. Fassett end
ed further talk by saying:
u have told you what to do. You must

and must go out now"
Can we not set you down where you
want to go!" asked the old detective

There was nothing left on this but go,
and they did, with very bad grace upon the

That was the physician that knocked
Miss Eustace down on Broadway with his
horses" said Dorjson family. "He did not
recognize me.''
Arriving at Dorison's apartments, to
winch they were rapidly driven, Cathcart
and the officer devoted themselves to the
treatment recommended by the surgeon,
after which, and uniting Dorisou into his
ped, Cathcart dismissed the officer wit i
instructions TO go to his rooms in Bond
street early in the morning and bring what
mall he might ind there to him before 9
Ihen he LAID himself down on the lounge TO
sleep.
The treatment he had been subjected 10
eased the pain that Dorison had been suf-
terlng from, yet he lay long time unable
to sleep. The events of the day aud even
Ing had been many and startling. They
were destined TO have a very considerable
effect upon his life. just what, he could
not tell, but one thing was certain, il
would now be turned into another channel
than that he had followed for the past
eight years. Though he tossed on his bed
because of the excitement of the dav
Cathcart slumbered so peaceful ly and
easily that DoriSon became unreasonable
provoked with him.
However, as the morning light streamed
into the windows, he fell into q sleep

eight by Cathcart and hidden 10 dress and

He was barely prepared for IL when the
ofhcer entered with Mr. CBthcarU mail.
Among the letters was telegram which
Cathcart opened. Reading it he landed it
TO Dorlson, with an expires ion of satisfac-
ton and the remark:
-Contrmations are beginning to come"

"Langdon was known as Harry Parish

remarked Cathcart
Having partaken of the breakfast, Cath
cart proposed to set out to call upon DR..
tassett.
TO this Dorison demurred. His arm.
though stiff and sore, needed no more treat

Therefore they set out On arriving at
the house of the physician and entering.
the reception room was found to be not
only fuIl, but actually crowded.
Df. tassett happened to be in the hall at
the moment of entering, aud said:
"a am afraid you will have to wait a lit
tie, Tor L have nice operation on hand.n

these gentlemen into my private office"
and disappeared.
The attendant was evidently astonished

Cathcart whispered to the officer to re-

The private Office of the physician was

which was open, the inner one only being

Soon as the door was shut upon the at

displaying an impairment curiosity.
He even opened the portfolio of the doc

two OF them was letter partly written,
and Cathcart did not scruple to read it. Nor
a letter addressed to the physician.
Unable to contain himself longer, Dorison
protested, lntimating that it was highly
improper to read the private papers of a
gentleman who had trusted then TO the
extent OF turning them into his own private
room.
To this Cathcart made no answer bpt
asked coolly:

And young Eustace suspected something
