''Those gloves were not made in this
country" said Dorison irrelevantly,
though thoughtfully.
''Just what have been thinking since
you told lnc he has but recently returned
from Europe. Well" continued the old
dete. tive, "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

Il never entered upon an enterprise

an extraordinary liking for the young

his friendship to his own undoing."
'That does not necessarily follow"
sharply replied Cathcart. ''But You
must put aside all such notions if you
propose to succeed in your search. Rec.
ollect the interest you have at stake

name"
Il know, I know" hastily responded
Dorison. Nothing shall swerve me
from that. But even with this before

brother, nor the remorse feel in antici-

verted TO the practical bearings of the
matter, he said:
Cultivate an intimacy; become a Wis
itor to his family; impress yourself upon
the father, and get him to talk of your
own father il possible"
Nettled, stung indeed, by the way the
old man had treated his sentimental out
burst, Dorison steeled himself and re-

"That is the one who crossed my path

him have that mysterious meeting at
Twenty-ninth street and Third avenue
and lastly when he attempted to speuk
with Eustace and was rebuffed."
''Ah" said Cathcart, as he closely
watched the young man walk up the

pertinency of the old detectives words.

Cathcart sauntered after the young
man, who had disappeared in the direc-
