 ''No, sir"
 What did he look like?" T hardly know. They always seemed to know when he was coming, and Miss Anne watched for him and let him in herself. They always took him in the parlor and shut the door.

 All this time the captain had been a close listener, not interfering in the ex- animation. Cathcart having finished he dismissed the girl.
 "What do you make of it?" asked the captain.
 ''Nothing. The case is as dark as night. That young man is worth look ing after"
 "Yes. had got that point out of the girl before. You got two additional ones-that he was angry the day he staid so long; and that the daughter cried and the mother was sad whenever he came. 1 have searched the house systematically from top to bottom and found nothing to throw any light on the deed or the people-no letters or docu- ments in the house." "The place in Bleecker street wants a } thorough search now" "It will have it today"
 eff that man is all right he'll turn ur of his own accord; if crooked he won't. "His failure to turn up will make the j more reason for looking for him. But how and where to begin the search fol F him?"
 To this the old detective made no re ply, but thrusting his hands in his ves ) pockets, walked out of the room, an6 descending the stairs entered the parlor where the body lay, carefully noting every article in the room and their dis position. His keen eyes perceived some : thing lying on the floor near and par 5 tially under the body. He beckoned to r the captain standing at the door ant 8 pointed to it. The officer, bending down Q said: 7 "Ah, a glove-a mans glove" l. "A clew," said Cathcart. !: CHAPTER V. 1 .II n,rc IN NrHu 1ctrIr nrInnr1cr1 c,rIInrnc
