SaSSa, Henry Mugge and John Gay- nor, detectives connected with Police Headquarters, who had been assigned to run down horde of shoplifters who have been making life miserable for the department str z recer ly, saw Dardin come out of oi rn department store thus equlpst a few weeks ago they decided to trail him.
 After they had trailed him for a day or two they saw him meet ! handsome young woman. She was extremely well dressed and had none of the outward signs of criminal. From that time on, however, the de- tectives trailed the young woman, too.
 The man always carried a black valise.
 When they reached department store, the man left the woman and entered cigar store, the woman entering the department store alone. She was trailed to the woman's suit department and there she was soon joined by the man.
 The woman asked to see some ex- pensive suits. When the saleswoman at length brought one that was ap- parenIly SatiSlaclory sue sdiu she would like to try it on. Accom- panied by her husband" shc was taken to the fitting-roo and the suit was tried on.
 That won't do at all, Gladys!" exclaimed the husband" as the woman exhibited herself to him, it makes you look ten years older. Why don't you try red or some thing liyely?"
 Back they went to the counter.

realized upon the loot; third book in which was contained a complete list of the department stores which had been visited or were to be visited, and an address book in which various names and ad- dresses were listed. This last book, it is believed. may be the means of tracing the fences" as receivers of stolen property are called, through whom the stolen property was con verted into cash.
 In the diary the word "Cig" is used for suit or gown, and various other code words are employed, the exact meaning of which has not yet been ascertained by the police.
 Here are some of the more inter- esting items from the diary:
 Sept. 2S. Hired room today.
 Sept. 29. Started breakfast this morning. (This evidently refers to breakfast arrangements with the hotel where she was stopping).
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-08

When she came back five or ten minutes later she was accompanied by her husband" and Detectives Gas sassa, Mugge and Gaynor, who, be- tween them, had been eyewitnesses of most of the proceedings, and had imagined the rest. When the man had reached the sidewalk he was bounced upon by the detective on watch, and when the woman started to leave the floor she, too, was ar rested. In the black valise were found two of the suits which the woman had tried on and rejected, one worth $49.75 and the other $24.75. The tags were still on them.
 When the detectives and the sales woman compared notes the scheme which had been worked was readily revealed While the saleswoman had left the fittingroom for the giass of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-08

water the man had stuffed two of the suits into the valise. He never in tended to come back.
 The most interesting phase of the case, however, was the discovery in the woman's room of several diaries and other memorandum books in which al her doings and impressions were r. ,fded. It is not unusual to find among tAe effects of prisoners scraps of paper or memorandum books with more or less interesting information upor them, but this was the first time, perhaps, in which complete set of books was unearthed.
 These books included diary which contained complete story of the au- thor's life during the period it coy- cred; memorandum book in which was entered day by day the result of the days work with the amount

animation in the girl and she springs lightly away from her partner and runs away few steps. He does not follow, as she expects, so she turns, and, facing him, attracts his attention by stamping her foos into a cortez of the tango. He looks up and, with a reluctance of being played with, clasps his hands behind his back and leads her of into an alluring tango.
 At the end of these steps the old dreaminess returns at the suggestion of the waltz which the orchestra is again playing. Finally the waltz dies away and the girl glides swiftly out of tho arms of her partner and drops softly out of the waltz into a curtsey, head bowed. The detailed descrip- tion of the steps follows.

bars they hold the fourth bar with ono step. Pointing step is made with lady's left foot. Starting with the same foot they repeat the figure, only his time turning toward each other. This will end the figure with a point of the right foot for the lady and the left for the man tor q Nhole bar.
 4. BALANCE.-Starting with the same foot which ended the last figure they run three steps and balance on thu fourth step, with corresponding arms advanced and bodies almost back to back, the rear feet being raised. This takes two bars, and they then come back into a short waltz for six bars.

This statement shows that after deducting payment of $10 for . suit and $4 for a valise the girl uetted S56 for her first weeks work as a shoplifter, and this represented only the proceeds for four days. In two days the following week they realized SIS between them. An aver age days work brought them about $17.50 apiece.
 Neither the store detectives nor the Headquarters men were able to account for the peculiar terms used to designate the dresses stolen. Stella Mamie" Evelyn and "Swede" occur in this connection quite frequently. It is possible, how ever, that these terms refer to the fences" through whom the particu- lar suits were disposed of, and the police are going through the address book in the hope of testing this theory.

 ?. THE CHASE.-For the first six teen bars the man follows the lady in a graceful canter waltz, both doin. exa rtly the same step-viz, gliding with the left foot so as to take the time on the first beat of the waltz measure and taking the step with right foot on the third beat of the measure.

\ COMPLETE disclosure of the A methods of the up-to-date shop < \ litter has been brought about by the arrest of an alleged profes- sional shoplifter and her partner and the discovery of a diary she is be- lieved to have kept
 This diary, an extract from which is reproduced on this page, is but one of a series of books which record, down to the minutest detail, the progress of the work of the shop1ift- ing partnership from day to day. These records are the most complete specimens of their kind that have ever come to the attention Of the police authorities, and indicate that whoever kept them was not only an extremely clever and successful shop litter but most systematic one.
 The young woman who is charged by the police with being the author of the diary and the perpetrator of the crimes it records was recently arrested in a New York department store and gave her name as Helen Gray.
 At the time of her arrest she was accompanied by criminal known to the police as Edward Dardin. In fact, the police first became ac- quainted with Helen Gray after they had been trailing Dardin for two days around New York.
 When a professional pickpocket is seen coming out of pig New York department store carrying valise the incident is a most significant one in the eyes of New York de- tective. When, therefore, Frank Cas-
