so well did she deceive him that he con-
fessed every detail of crime that no
English speaking person could have
proved against him. Well, to make
long story short, he hung for it, and the
woman is still in the city knocking
about.
The beauty of woman'S devotion is
marred by her INCONSISTENCY. When
man is arrested we lock him up and hunt
for the woman he loved. Found, the
assistant is set to work to win her CON
fidence. When hearts are trumps play
diamonds, you know. A little money,
a few comforts and judicious flattery
will win a lot of love, and by feeding her
vanity she will forget all about the alb
sent lover and make the attentive ear
receptacle for everything she knows
and thinks and fears. If there are wo-
men who can keep secrets | have not

"Where do you meet them?

Gansevoort Market an hour later, or at
Grants tomb at 3 a. IN. My favorite
however, is in Central
Park on the Mall at the feet OF Bobbie
Burns, in the CarouSal if ii is bad
night, or in Lovers Lane or Echo Hall

Park is roomy and between 10 p.

Never. And 1 never go armed.

How much of your time is spent on
your work."

ty-eighth street This morning | got
in my wagon, drove up TO One Hundred
and Sixty-ffth street and was down at
my desk here at o'clock. | try to
have dinner with my family, but my
business is never spoken of at home.
Men say they leave the shop when the
door is closed and think no more about
work till next morning. That is not the
truth. The man whose heart and
soul is in his work never lets it
wholly escape. do not dream OF my
work, but l go to bed and lie there
for hours studying case. Whens Il get
a clue go to sleep and follow it up the
next day. If it is one on which have
failed for the tenth time, review each
and out of corrections evolve
the eleventh.
During the day am generally here,
and every night is filled with engage
ments. Sunday | am here at salvation
work. In other words, | clean house.
Six days of every week bring me per
sonal letters from people in every walk
of life. Some of them are curious, all
are interesting, and each is clue to
mystery. Here and there is "A sheet OF
from which a crest has been
scraped or cut, and quite as often let
ter-head, carefully decapitated. II any
thing happened to me and these letters
fell into strangers hands there might
be trouble. 1t is only fair to the people
who trust me that ! protect them, and
so every Sunday morning | unlock this
desk, re-read the weeks mail and de-
stroy letters, the publication of which
would blight Innocent lives, break up
families, do violence to individual well

As he spoke the Inspector unlocked
the little desk, the table and pigeon
holes of which were piled and packed
with the regulations of men and women,
families and firms. Across one large

(Eva)," in bold penmanship.
do you like your life?"
Immensely. There is a fascination
about a mystery that human nature can
not resist. My business is shrouded in
mystery, and the more difficult it Is to
unravel the harder work. There is no
no glory, no growth in
doing the thing that is easy enough for
anybody to do"
''Do you see many tears?
oceans of them. Some break my
heart, some annoy me, and some amuse
me, for women are born actresses. As
a rule they get the better of me. am
willing to give them the advantage, be-
cause they are women. But all the cry
ing is not done by the fair sex. Douglass
