"For the island" said Black BEARD
rs the anchor was raised above the wa

All sails were set, and the schooner
swung round, caught the breeze, her
sails filled, and she was off. But there
were now shouts and signals from the

the schooner.
A stalwart black whiskered man
stood at the stern of the William B.

friend, the detective, "that we learn an
about their families, their affections,
and especially their hatreds. The tough
gets to telling of his latest escapades
and incidentally he let's fall many re-
marks which unwittingly he turns into
pointers Of vital Importance to u.s."
"How's Sleepy Ed old man?" asked
the detectives.
"And Bill?"
"And when's Dicle comm back from
New York;"
Now, Sleepy Ed and Bill and Dick may
at present be at large, and the tough
may know it. So he talks freely and
unhesitatingly, for there is nothing like
being on the right side of the "cop."
Sooner or later Bill and Dick will be
wanted by the police, and then the
sleuths will know just how and where to
trace them up.
AS rule the detective has no stated
hours of work. If he has a. case in
court he reports there in the morning
and after that he is supposed to be on
guar1l-some % hours day. At the
stations with which am familiar il
was customary for detectives to report
to the desk sergeant about ten a. m.

cial business was on hand; such as,the
serving of warrants, the tracing. of
stolen property, etc. This done, tho
men pair off and go out on their beats,

sharp watch for every indication of

free to come and go as they please; but
they must be prepared to give the latest

The peaceable citizen may never be

The next morning read thrilling
account of the capture of a notorious
burglar by my detective. There was
no dime novel work about the job. The
success of it was the result of exem-
plary patience. AT the same time some
professional skill had also been re-

In the tough districts of the big cities
from four to eight men are detailed to
cover territory of few blocks. They
mingle with the lowest classes, getting
rs closely in touch with them as possi-
BILE. Sometimes the relations of detec-
tives and toughs become almost inti-
mate. They call each other by their
first names, and while away the hours by
telling stories of unusual adventure. AS
soon as the criminal is wanted by the
police little rivalry springs up. It is
the business of the police to find and Of
the criminal to escape; that they both
recognize as the usual state of affairs,
and so they proceed to outwit each
other. as men might sit down to
chess contest. When the criminal has
served his sentence and no new charge
has yet been brought against him,
amicable relations with the "hy cop''

Santa Annals complexion was pink
and white, although he was Mexican
born, but of unmixed Spanish descent.
He came of an ancient Castilian house,
a cadet of which had emigrated to New
Spain; and his earlier feats of arms
had been in defense of the Spanish
monarchy against the partisans of in
dependence. But he speedily threw in
his lot with the patriots and during
twenty years was one of the most con-
spcuous personages in Mexican politics
and became president of the republic
and dictator over and over again; his
tenures of power alternating with long
periods of banishment. He was full OF
