dies, the defense being never thought Of
in the case of a poor woman.
Il have known women" said leading
Chicago detective, ito steal articles of no
value to them and for which they could
have no possible use. One well-to-do lady
takes nothing but buttons Of the cheapest
variety. In her house not long since were
found enough 20 load a wagon. Another, an
old maid, has a mania for puroining baby
clothes, while a third finds her highest am
bition In stealing the wooden ladies' from
the pickle jars IA our grocery department..
Next TO professional shoplifters they are
the most troublesome people with which
we have TO deal"
Employees do a great deal of stealing
from large stores, and even detectives have
been detected In theft. Sometimes the ship
ping clerks enter into a conspiracy with
others and boldly send large Quantities OF
goods TO a convenient fence" Oftener
however, clerks act Independently and
smuggle goods out OF the store. Girls Sc
crete gloves and other small articles about
their persons and IN their hats, while men
have been known TO wrap an entire bolt OF
silk around their bodies, beneath their
clothing. Detectives arc always looking for
this class OF thieves and the services of
outside agencies are often necessary to 10
cate systematic thieves Of this character.
Sometimes thefts in certain department
are carried on for months without the per-
petrator being detected. Instances are not
wanting in Chicago where a dozen or more
clerks have been discharged that one gull
ty employe might surely be disposed of.
Piekpockets frequent large stores and

her, yet its every detail Is arranged with
reference to the successful plying of her
calling. Her skirts contain pockets deep
enough to hold a bolt of silk, and so intri-
cately masked as to battle the ordinary
searcher and frequently defeat the efforts
of an expert She has many little hooks
and recesses in which small articles of val
ue can be Swiftly hidden She usually car
ries slightly opened umbrella, into the
mouth of which she can drop trifies with
out attracting attention.
This woman is a professional shoplifter.
She possesses a marvelously quick and OBJ
serving eye, the trained hand Of a juggler
and a nerve of steel 1t is not likely that
she is known i'm the store, else she would
not be there. Through confederates and
criminal associates-and there is fraternity
and organization among thieves, as well as
among honest people-from various sources
she knows the personnel Of the detective
force on duty and could point out everyone
on sight. Thus equipped she IS tolerably
safe from detection and prudently proceeds
70 business. Generally she passes purloined
articles to confederate, who stands back
from the counters, and could not well be
suspected of stealing. Often she loads her
masked pockets and other receptac1es.
When a reasonable harvest has been Sc
cured she prudently quits the store and
repairs TO her home or, more generally, TO
one OF the small private compartments in
some Of the numerous Questionable down

thief knows that he or she is being watch
ed and an enforced but none the less prac-
teal honesty results.
This sytsm is by no means new; ever
since food, clothing and finery were looked
upon as desirable possessions those who
vended them have been compelled to act
the part of detectives and keep a watch
f1l eye upon their goods At present our
gteat department stores have detectives
on every floor, in every department al
most with the exception of the one IN
charge of 'the force who in several H.,
stances is a woman. These are for the
most part possessed of only very moder-
ate ability in the line of their employ
msnt. This is due primarily to the low
wages paid and to the further circum-
stance that the greater portion Of the
house detectives are regular employees of
the establishment who have been assigned
to that duty through some supposed spe-
cial ability TO act as "sleuths." A few
years ago the city detective agencies we're
generally called upon to supply men for
this dizzy, and their aid is still invoked
when particularly troublesome and knot
~ case arises.
Store detectives have several distinct du-
ties to perform; they guard the stock from
the nimble fingers OF shoplifters, watch
for thieves among employees and protect
customers, so far as possible, from the in
sinuating hands of pickpockets. With these
manifold duties to perform IL is not strange
that they are often caught mapping

cept where some noted character has been
caught the prosecution generally ends at
the lowest court, from the verdict of

Store detectives often make serious mis-
takes involving their firms IN expensive
damage suits. This is largely due, to the
inefficient character of the people employ
ed. Recently a lady purchased some ar
tihcial flowers at a department store.
Thinking that an overcharge had been
made, she entered another store and ask
ed the price of the articles. Informed
that they had none like them in stock,
she thrust the sprigs under her belt and
started for the door, when she was inter-
rupted by a detective, who charged her
with theft. In vain she told where she
had purchased them and displayed the
check; she was dragged TO the managers
