He had trailed the criminal to his lair This nights sleepless work had been hard upon the old detective He had met his victim four hundred times, drank with him two hundred and fifty times, talked with him one hundred tunes, and vaguely hinted at the crime just forty-nine times. He had csanged his "cover" at every corner, and had been knocked senseless twenty-five times by the pals of the criminal The old detective went through that terrible nights experience merely for the purpose of giving a con tributor to a weekly story paper chance to write a blood curdling tale. The crimi- nal escaped, finally, through a coal hole, swan out into the Chicago river, and fioated on his back the entire length of Lake Mich lcan He was at last discovered in palace hotel in Canada, living like prince. But the story was written, and thousands of nnnies had read it in serial form. The heroine married the old detective, for the thousandth time. Yet there was no suit for bigamy.
