inal whom he has followed. His communications to reporters therefore have not been harmful him. and, doubt, in many cases they have been helpful It is certain that Mr Burns has never confided any information that would defeat his purpose.
 The first thing the detective young police officer learns is mystery and secretveness and in the of many of them that is all that is ever learned. They shroud themselves in mys- tery that they can nothing outside They blindfolded with it. They play game of blind mans buff. they are always it" The tendency of the amateur and the young detective, tendency to which many of them yield through whole career is assume, when crime has been committed that the criminal is not aware that he has committed it. If murder other crime is discovered, the pussy foot, with his head stuck in the sand, thinks that the criminal will know it unless the newspapers tell him about it. It is the pussyfoots idea be the first informant.
 The real detective understands that he have aid. He may only know that a crime has been mtted. He may have clue which points in particular direction. The criminal is under cover. The detective must flush" him. but he doesn't know where he is hidden He talks freely the reporters of half dozen cities, but he tells them nothing except what the hiding fugitive himself already knows He sets thousands of eyes watching, whereas he himself has only two. The information ne gives out may breed other useful information. His imperfect clue is developed until it leads some where. Frequently the detective gives out mis- leading information which surprises and deceives the fugitive who is led make d false He breaks cover somewhere. and wherever it may be, he comes within range of some who is expecting him.
 We have been comparing the methods of the pussyfoot and the detective only in the pursuit of the individual against whom evidence already waiting. The most difficult work of the real detec- tive is the pursuit of evidence the making up of the case That is something entirely beyond the caliber of the pussyfoot there be compari- here between him and the detective
 The detective in search of evidence of crime is equally frank with the reporters, and enlists their aid and the aid thousands, out whose contributions he selects what he wants, and it is usually enough.
