Inc nour was not early, and he was en-
abled to obtain one of those tables adj
joining the windows looking out on
Broadway, where he could watch the
tide of humanity as it foated by. He
was so much engrossed in this watching
that he did not observe gentleman rls-
ing from table near him, and cross the
room to his own table. 1t was Bushnell,
the one whom he had seen in the theater
the previous evening with the man with
the thumb.
II suppose an apology for my abrupt
departure last evening is due you, Mr..
Dudley" he said.
Dorison replied courteously:
1.-THE apology was made in the very
cause of interruption.
81 am glad you take it sopolitely. III
answer your question now. The name
of the gentleman you inquired about is
Eustace, and there is no better fellow
alive than Charley Eustace."
''Eustace!' said Dorison in surprise.
"Eustace! indeed. What Eustace?'
''He is the son Of Herbert Clavering
Eustace, an old New York family of
wealth and social position. Charley has
been abroad for many years, having only
returned @ few months ago. Do you
know the family?'
81 can hardly say I DO, although I had
u call from MIR. Eustace yesterday even
ing. Earlier in the day had the honor
of saving his daughter from being run
over on Broadway, and he called to
acknowledge the service"
"Indeed!' replied Bushnell, twas she
inquired? I heard last evening she was

81 did not know it," answered Dorison.
"Iiss E,lstace WAS not injured, though
she was knocked down by d horse; but
that she might be i'll from the shock she
received, J. can readily believe"
Yes. it must be she" returned Bush

apartments--dd not know Of it last
night when we were together. She is a
charming girl
Dorison did net reply for a moment or
two. His mind was busy with thoughts
of how singularly the affairs of these
people were becoming tangled with his
own.
His companion ratified on:
ST saw you were much attracted to
Charley last evening. Every body is. He
carries the stamp of his goodfellowship
on his face
81 was much Interested in him. Does
he follow q profession!'
"No; he has studied surgery here and
abroad"
Dorison gave such visible start that
his companion stopped in wonderment
and looked at him.

about for Il reason for his involuntary
manifestation of surprise. 81 saw man

HE will dine with me tonight here
at six, ana if you will join us in this
room at that hour will be pleased te
have you"
Accepting the invitation gladly the
two young men parted at the door of the
restaurant.
"Fortune favors me-" muttered Dori
son to himself. 1.-The opportunity to OBJ
serve the young man Cathcart desired is
made for him. 1 must find him and
give him notice."
The work of finding the old detective
was not so easy, and the greater part Of
the day was consumed in the search. In
deed. when he was found, there wa!
barely time left Dorison in which to pre-
pare for dinner and meet his engage
ment.
