/ the domestic IRE OF Hadan or Saun-
ders. The reason i didn't was because
had not yet suspected Hadan Of any
thing and because had no case
against the other two.
AS to Hadan, living in the same
house with me, he cultivated my ac-
quaintance. He told me of his busi-
ness, invited me to lunch with him and
was as frank and open as any man
ever met. On half dozen occasions
he invited me to drop into his work
rooms in case I found myself near
them, and admit I took quite liking
to him. His wife was more reserved
and less to be seen, but yet the four Of
us went to the theater occasionally in
company, and she was agreeable If not
laxative. Hadan was fair sized
man, who always shaved smooth. His
reddish hair was scant, one of his front
teeth broken, and he limped little,
from an old accident. Any policeman
could have picked him out Of a crowd
on description. Saunders was
larger man, with hair turning gray,
perfect teeth and side Whiskers Davi-
son was smaller man than the other
two, with black hair, black mus
tache and prominent wart on his
cheek. Hadan had the voice Of a
woman; Saunders spoke slowly and
with a growl; Dawson had what might
be termed fair voice.
Now, then, for six years knew these |
three men, and two Of them were I'M
der espionage. talked with them, ate
with them, drank with them and never |
imbibed the faintest idea that was
the biggest fool in the world One day |
q man who was in machine shop not |
far from detective headquarters was
killed by accident. happened to be
almost the first one on hand. recog-
nized him at once as the tailor, and the
body was taken home. While doing
his work the undertaken found that the
black hair and mustache and wart I
were all false. This was q revelation
even to the wife. The affair was pub
l1shed in the papers and in less than
two days it was found that Hadan,
Saunders and Dawson were one and
the same man. He had padded his body
to increase his size and apparent
weight, and false tooth, whiskers,
muStache and wart had done the rest.
You will say ought to have detected
the cheat by the voice. In an ordinary
case, yes, but this man had made
study of Disgusting his voice and was
doubtless natural mimic to begin
with. I never caught tone to make
ne suspect
You will say that a good detective
ought to penetrate such shallow dis
guises as false whiskers. In answer
o that let me say that whiskers or
nustache can be made to look so genu-
ne that no living man can detect the
neat. The wart was new dodge and
me was not up to. It was so well
lone that had seen the man prick it

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Conferees Reach Final Agreement

Washington. Jan. 25.-The con-
ferees on the army reorganization
bill have reached final agreement
on the bill, but the measure is SO
so complicated and the amendments
SO numerous that agreement prob.

or two. The senate receded from
its amendment providing for regi-

alton of the artillery arm Of the ser.

important difference. and when a set:
Element was reached on that point,
a great amount of time was neces
sary to come to an agreement upon
the other points. On the next most
important controversy, that concern.

In the winter of 1899 Marion Crav-
ford was in San Francisco on a lecture
tour under Major Pond of New York.
who related the following incident: It
was during his sojourn in the city that
San Francisco was visited by rather
severe earthquake. The novelist was
stopping at the Palace hotel. MANY of
the guests had never experienced such
a tremor. 1t was shortly before mid
night, and many were in their rooms
asleep. In a few seconds there were
the greatest CONSERVATION and terror.
The halls were filled with excited mon
and women, and for awhile q manic
was imminent. After quiet had been
restored Mr.. Crawford was discovered
IN the cafe by an excited friend. he
was sitting at table eating and read
ing paper. His friend rushed nm to
him and in breathless excitement ex.
claimed, did you feel it?"
Feel whatw asked Mr.. Crawford.
The earthquake"
Why, bless me, no! But. since Won
mention it, thought the cream that I (
poured in my coffee seemed to have
been stirred round, and you notice INV
spoon lies here beside my cup."
Mr.. Crawford afterward exnlaipod
that he had become SO accustomed Is
earthquakes in Italy that he seldom
paid any attention to them and that
not infrequently they would occur
without his notice.

and it had been pretty well established
that he bought goods without asking
any questions. In watching him as
sumed another identity and became a
| customer. We came to be on quite
friendly terms, and fattered myself
that he had not the slightest suspicion
Of the part I was playing. At one
time and another l was the means Of
enabling a number Of householders to
recover stolen goods Saunders had
bought, but the man always evaded the
law. got to know that he lived in
Jane street, only a few blocks away,
where he had a wife and one child.
One of our men occupied room in the
same house, and in casual way he
had learned that Saunders was home
only two nights per week. He came
and went as did my neighbor Hadan.
A. year after / began watching the
br1c-a-brac shop there were complaints
made about a certain merchant tailor
named Dawson He was making suits
to order SO cheap that other tailors de-
clared the goods must be stolen. AS

away were found in his shop, but he
proved himself clear Of the law by
narrow margin. l became a customer |
and an acquaintance. I brought Gus
toners to him, as / had to Saunders.
There were many times when we had |
glass of ale and a pipe together, and
from the very outset used my best
efforts to get on to his little game.
He continued to make suits to order
far cheaper than his rivals. but though
his shop was searched again and again
no more suspicious goods were found.
Dawson was full of talk and seemed
to be without suspicion, but got no
information from him to help my case.

place and had wife and
two children. By the merest accident

When / retired from detective work
after an experience Of 16 years, the
public press and my many friends were
pleased to say that had done excel

was deserved, but at the same time, in
one case at least, had shown stu

and we took the second floor. On the
floor above was married couple nam

derstand, was "a manufacturing jeWeler
in a small way. The Hadans lived
very quietly and made no display, and
the wife kept very much to herself.
Not as detective, but as an occupant,

only two nights per week-that is, he
came home at O'Clock on two even

night and to breakfast and was seen
no more for five days. This had been
the programme for year before /

curious over it.
At about the time of my removal L

certain dealer in bric-a-brac named
Saunders. His shop was good three
miles from Queen street. He dealt in
