Calmly £urrtl»i(/ the kev he threw open the
inner dn or
itinvr dnor
When Dorison left the house in which
were Cathcart'» rooms be was still in a
whirl and confusion of thought The
dream he had entertained for eight years
seemed on the point of realization. If
the old detective were to lie believed it
wm even then practically realized. And
the revelation had come, so far as be was
concerned, at a moment when he was
sunk into the deepest pit of despair
when tbe case looked darker anil more
hopeless than ever.
The house occupied by the old detect
ive was farther from Broadway than
from the Bowery üo it came that he
had some distance to walk before he
reached the former street
He was aroused by the noise of a
stumble behind him. and tnrning quick
ly received simultaneously a severe blo»v
■upon his left forearm, a blow evidently
intended for his head, and so powerful as
to send him to the pavement At the
same time he heard a cry
"Ah, yon rascals!"
This cry frightened his assailants, who
dashed across the street and were lost ill
the darkness.
By the time the one who cried out had
come running up, Dorison. faint with
pain, had struggled to his feet.
'The woman was right. I should have
heeded her warning," be muttered con
fusedly to the man who had come to his
assistance, ami who was none other than
the officer Cathcart had instructed to fol
low Dorison as a protection.
■*You must return at once to the
chief," said the officer. "Aro you much
hurt?"
"My arm pains me a good deal." re
plied Dorison, "but it is better than if it
Were my bead."
The officer hnrried Lim to Ccthcart's
apartments.
The old detective comprehended the
-situatiou before be could be informed
by the officer.
"Where were yon hit?" he asked.
"On the left arm." replied Dorison.
Quickly and gently the old tuau bared
the injured nieiulier
"1 am not a surgeon." he said, as he
manipulated the arm. "but I can gener
ally tell whether bones uro broken or
not."
He looked serions as he plied it To
the officer he said, "(ret a coach as
quickly as yon can."
Leading Dorison to a lonnge be laid
him upon it.saying: "Rest there a mo
ment. 1 cannot tell whether your ami
is broken of uot We will go immediate
ly to a surgeon. By heavens!' be cried
to himself, "that is au idea, and iie is
not far off. "
He sprang to bis bureau and opening
the lower drawer took out a light gray
wig and beard. With a rapidity that
astonished Dorison. w.-.tching him in
great pain as be was. the old detective
put them on. and with tbe use of cos
metic. rogne and powder presented m a
moment an entirely different face anil
head. Darting into aa adjoining mom
he issued a moment or two later in a
black broadcloth snit. To put a gold
chain around his neck anil to assume a
gold eyeglass secured by a small gold
chain, was the work of a moment more,
and when.completed he was a prosper
ous merchant or banker, ready tu receive
the announcement ol ihe officer who
entered that the carnage was ready.
The interest of tins strange proceed
ing was so gn-at to Dorison that lie had
not asked a question, contenting himself
with watchiug.
"Come." said Cathcart. "I will take
yon to a physician—a surgeon "
lAs Dorison. with the help or the otli- j
WS. arose, Cathcart said to tbe officer. I
"You are to go with us."
After Dorison bad lieen placed in tbe
car riage Cathi'art told tile driver to go j

Even this conveyed nothing to Dori

your skill."
The surgeon had been manipulating
the arm while Cathcart was talking.
"No bones are broken. I am sure, he'

a« he can stand it, and keep this np con
stantly for four or five hours. Then to
morrow morning bring him here to me
before ten o'clock."
The physician was curt, prompt and
imperative. Cathcart was disposed to'
engage him in conversation. But Dr.
Fassett ended further talk by saying:
"I have told you what to do. You
must not detain me. 1 have an impor
tant case, and mnst go out now."
"Can we not set you down where yon
want to go?" asked the old detective.
j "What you want to do." said the doc—
j tor. "is to get your nephew under treat
ment of hot water as soon as you can."
There was uothing left on this but to
go. and they did, with very bad grace
upon the part of the old detective. i
"That was a misplay," he said, as be
entered the carriage. "I hoped to be
able to talk with him so as to bring in
Langdon. 1 want to know what the
doctor knows abont him. Not much.
perhaps, but everything counts m this
business. However, I will have a chance
at him tomorrow morning." !
j "That was the physician that knocked
Miss Eustace down on Broadway with
his horses," said Donson faintly. "He
did not recognize me."
Arriving at Dorison's apartments, to
which they were rapidly driven, Cath- I
cart and the offictr devoted themselves
to the treatment recommended by the
snrgeon, after which, anil putting Dori
son into Iiis bed, Cathcart dismissed the
officer, with instructions to go to his
rooms in Bond street early, in the mora-'
lug and bring what mail he might iinil
thereto him before ui ne. Then be laid
himself down ou the lounge to sleep. i
The treatment he had been subjected
to eased tile (tain that Dorison had been
suffering from, yet he lay a long time
unable to sleep The events of the day
and evening bad been many and star- '
tling. They were destined to have a very :
considerable influence upon his life, j
Just what, he could not tell, but on»
thing was certain, it would now be turn- !
ed into another channel than that hebad
followed for the past eight years. Though
he tossed on bis bed because of the ex- !
citement of the day. Cathcart slumbered ;
so peacefully and easily that Dorison
became unreasonably provoked with
him. ;
However. as the morning light i
streamed into the windows, be fell into a
sleep. from which he was aroused shortlv
after eight by Cathcart and bidden to
dress and partake of the breakfast he
had sent for He was barely prej>ared
for it when the officer entered with Mr. ;
Cathcart's mail.
Among the letters was a telegram '
which Cathcart ojiened. Reading it, ho
handed it to Dorison, with an expression
of satisfaction and the remark:
"Confirmations are begiuniug to come. " I
Dorison read it. It ran:
"Langdon was known as Harry Parish
here seven years ago—thea a mere boy: j
afterward he got into prison. Turned
up in Chicago live years ago as Hairy
Langdon. See letter mailed to-night." !
"That settles that part ot the theory." :
remarked Cathcart
^ Having partaken of the breakfast, j
Cathcart proposed to set out to call upon
Dr. Fassett.
To this Dorison demnrreil His arm. i
though still and sore needed no more
treatment than bad been given it.
But Cathcart said:
"No. I took advantage of your acci- !
deut to get to Dr. Fassett naturally, and
we must go to fulfill the purjiose 1 was !
balke.l m last right. How much Fas- !
sett may know a'xmt Langdon is iiuoer- |
tain, but I iiro[H.se to obtain all be does
know Your injury gives us the natural
excuse "
therefore they set out On arnviug

not only full, but actually crowded

"T am afraid yon will have to wait a

office." and disappeared.
The attendant was evidently aston
ished "I've been with Dr. Fassett three
years," he said, as he led the way. "bnt
I've never known this to occnr before,
though I've aeen them sitting in the hall
before this."
Cat heart whispered to the officer to
remaiu in the hall.
The private office of the physician was
a small room, evidently an extension
from the main building, for it was light
ed pleasantly from the side.
Between the two windows was a small
roller top desk. In the center a flat table
where the physician evidently did his
writing. At one window was a large
operating chair, but devoted by its owner
to the purpose of ease. A low easy chair,
into which llorison dropped, was on the
side of the center table, opposite to that
| which the writing ch tf r 8too<l . In
I the corner was an iron safe, the heavy
door of which was open, the inner one
j onl . Mng closed .
So soon as the door was shut upon th?
attendant Cathcart began a minute ex
amination of the room, much :o Dori
son's annoyance, who thought his com
panion was displaying an impertinent
curiosity.
He even opened the portfolio of the
: doctor and turned over its leaves. Be

j To this Cathcart made no answer, bat

"Didn't thr;

had some bold on Dr. Fassett?"
"Yes."
"And yonng Eustace suspected some
thing of the kind from the way in which
Langdon treated Fassett?"
"Yes."

To Dorison lie now turned and said:

Donson was about to protest, but lis
observed that the old man's eyes wer3

In a moment more they were mapped
upon the xlriKjyling mint'« wrist».
The doctoi**taggered back as white as
the wall against which he fell.
Dorison and the officer sprang to their
feet, astounded anil horror stricken. For
a brief moment Dorison entertained the
idea that Cathcart had taken leave of his
senses.
But what thoughts either might have
bad were diverted by the mad rush the
doctor made at Cathcart.
The officer and Donson, despite his in
jured ann, leaped to the assistance of the
old man.
Had Cathcart anticipated the attack?
He was not, at all events, taken una
ware, for stepping lightly aside caught
the doctor by the throat, ami wonld
have himself incapacitated the infuriated
man without the assistance promptly
given him.
"Yon will not do another." he said
fiercely to the prisoner.
Firmly held by the officer, with hia
arm s twisted lieliind his back, the doc
tor was helpless To make his hold
more secure, the officer placed his knee
against the doctor's back and bent him
over backward.
In impotent rago the doctor gnashed
his teeth.
"How do you know this? It is a lie!
It is a lie. You couldn't have known it!"
he cried huskily.
He made a mighty struggle to free
himself, and Cathcart went to the as
sistance of the officer.
"Take the handcuffs from my inside
pocket." said the officer to Dorison. who
did as he was requested.
In a moment more they were snapped
upon the struggling man's wrists. Even
then he fought and wrestled until
was thrown down and his ankles tied
with a stout twina
"I did not come prepared for this sort
o? business." said the panting officer.
"None of us did," replied Cathcart
Then to the doctor he said:
"You do uot help yourself by such
struggles. I've had many a man in your
tis before."
"What imp of hell are yon?" hissed the*
physician from between his teeth.
"My name is Simon Cathcart." replied
the old man quietly.
The name appeared to calm the doc
tor, and he muttered:
" 'The Devil of the Westr Harry saiil
he was in the city. Well." he cried
aloud, "it's a lie. Why do yon charge
me, one of New York's foremost physi
cians and surgeons, with such a thing?"
"Because you killed those two help-,
less and inoffensive women, that's why.'
The cold, positive tone of the old de
tective enraged him again.
"Its a lie. You couldn't have known
it. Nobodv could."
