CHAPTER XIV.
A Reappearance of the General.

A Temperance of the General.
Keith did not inform Hope of her
brothers death until the following
morning, but had the body properly
prepared for burial, and devoted the
remainder of the night to searching
for General Waite, and, incidentally.
for both Hawley and Scott Both
Hickock and Fairbain assisted in this
effort to learn the whereabouts of the
dead boys father, but without the
slightest result, nor did Keith's inves-
LEGATIONS reveal the gambler at any of
his accustomed resorts, while Scott
had apparently made a complete get
away. These disappearance merely
served to convince him as to the truth
of his first suspicious; Scott might
have departed for good, but Hawley
would certainly reappear just as soon
as assured his name had not been
mentioned in connection with the
tragedy. To Neb alone did the plains
man caRdidly confide his belief in the
guilt of these two. and when other
duties called him elsewhere, he left
the negro securing the town for any
possible temperance of either.
Heavy-eyed from lack of sleep,
heavy hearted with his message, yet
fully decided as to what advice he
should offer. Keith returned to the
hotel, and requested an interview with
Hope Although still comparatively
early. some premonition of evil had
awakened the girl. and in a very few
moments she was prepared to receive
her visitor, A questioning glance into
his face was sufficient to assure her of
unpleasant news. but. with one quick
breath, she grasped his arm as though
his very presence afforded her
strength.

KING OF DETECTIVES
William ]. Burns the Worlds
Greatest SIeuth.
Common Sense Is the Secret OF His
Success - The Mcnamara Case
Has Made Him Famous
the World Over.

Los Angeles, Cal. - Common
sense the most uncommon thing
IN the world, is the secret by
which William J. Burns, whose work
In connection with the Mcnamara
cases made his name worldwide, has
risen to be crowned king of American
detectives. Although he has dealt with
some of the most hardened criminals
In the country he has never fired
shot at human being.
Burns is the essence of the ordi-
nary. A man about middle height,
broad shouldered. with prominent fea-
lures and pair of gray eyes that bore
through you and the wall beyond,
reddish brown hair, untouched by
age; his mustache tinged with gray,
attired probably a bit more carefully
and, up to date than the average bust
ness man, and with manner alert
and positive, he presents not the ap-
pearance of a detective, but to the
unknowing passes off for prosperous
citizen of fastidious taste regarding
dress.
Burns was appointed to the govern
ment secret service in 1890 and was
located in the west, working in Indian
territory, Texas, Arkansas and the
south. He was soon placed in charge
of that district, and in 1894 was trans
ferred to Washington, where he was
promoted for good work, and got a
rowing commission, going wherever
there was an unusually important
case.
One of the biggest feats in those
days was the running down of the
principles in the Observation-Disclosures
Courtney gang of counterfeiters.
When this gang was run to earth and
cornered in a building in West Ho.
boken, N j., they had in their posses
sion more than 100000 in gold Ger
tificates and lot of Canadian couD
terfeit notes. So accurate were the
gold certificates the government had
already accepted $4,000 worth OF
them, and in order to pick the bogus
from the genuine it was necessary to
summon one of the counterfeiters to
Washington.
Another brilliant piece of detective
work by Burns was in connection with

She was silent for what seemed to

That same afternoon, the sun low

in his shallow grave on Boots HILL y

environment-all about the barren, de-
serted plains; far away to the east

uncommon-some cronias, half-drunk

presence of the marshal, Doctor Fair

excepting the post chaplain from Fort
Hays. who, inspired by a glimpse of
the girls unveiled face, spoke simple
words of comfort. 1t was all over

extensive land frauds in the west. He
was more than three years on this
case and when he had finished and
turned the evidence over to the gov
eminent it resulted in the conviction
of United States Senator Mitchell of
Oregon and of two wealthy land own
ers, Hyde and Benson of California
From these land cases Burns went
to San Francisco to dig amid the mass
Of political and municipal corruption
in that city. Three years were neces-
sary for the investigation 1t resulted
in sending Mayor Schmitz to the peni-
tertiary for five years; Ruef, the po-
litical boss, for fourteen years; Glass,
vice-president and general manager of
the Pacific State Telephone company,
and several others to prison for vari-
Gus periods.
Burns, Notwithstanding the nature
of his profession, has a strong belief
in the integrity of human nature.
There never was time,' he says,
when the moral sentiment of the
people was more easily and quickly
aroused than at present, or when
there was finer sense of honesty in
the various relations of daily life.
Even bad men want good govern
ment-if they are not making money
out OF bad government Nor do I be-
lieve in the heredity of crime. LON
broso and other scientists speculate
and write essays, but coming right
down to common experience, which
is a better test than philosophy or
long tables of figures, know tina,
environment and not birth is the ons
great cause of criminal conduct .
He has always held that the detec.
tive business was simply a matter OF
common sense. He is continually tell
ing his subordfnates that every crock.
no matter how clever he &c, always
leaves trail behind
Intellectually. Burns is the most re.
sourceful and brilliant detective in the
United States. Nowhere else on earth
perhaps, can anyone match him in the
ahility to think out the snarled prob
: rs of mystery and crime.
