When NJ. Faralicq was asked if the illusion
that detectives sometimes in special crcunl-
stances did not resort to special subterfuge,
such as New York detectives often do, he
replied:
"Thcsc are nothing but tricks inspired by
circumstances which detectives must some

M. Faralicq indicated that the detective was
not congratulated when he confessed the story
OF his tickle mustache at headquarters.
"The simplest thing said the chief, 'is to
use nothing but the indispensable in sleuthine.
1t is also better for the detective to remain in

THE LESSON OF THE FIRE
By LUCIE DELARUE-MARDR
Translated by William L. Mcpherson

~HE was more than fifty years old, but in
her expression there was still something
~ of the righteousness the vivacty and
the coquetry of youth. There are good
looking nlatrons of whom it can be said that
then are elderly young women. They have
lived for love and success, and till their dying
days they will never be able to establish
equilibrium between an outward aspect of ma
turity and soul of twenty years.
While youth had lasted the struggle be-
tween her natural aptitudes, so gay and friv-
olous, and her perverse destiny had made her
life a perpetual tragi-comedy. And this had
added curious charm to those already pos
sessed by this fascinating woman.
Beauty, wit and elegance are not necessar-
lily elements of happiness. Nine. Rougenlont,
married at sixteen, had married badly. Her
husband had beaten her and left her penn-
less Returning to her parents, she had been
obliged to care for them in all their illnesses
and then see them die one after the other
Her son had been killed by fall from
horse. He was twenty at the time, handsome
and full of promise. Her most ardent admirer
had forsaken her Her daughter as frivolous
as the mother and laxly brought up, had run
away with a married man, who was deserting
wife and children to seek his fortune in the
colonies.
AZ climax to these many disasters she
walked up one day to the fact that she was
fifty years old and could not begin life over
again. The moderate income which came to
her from her parents and farm which she
owned in Normandy, these, with her bitter
memories, were all she had left on earth
But the shape of her mouth and the bright
ness of her eyes prevented her from dying of
sadness. In her tiny apartment in Paris she
found way to give lively dinners to three
or four old acquaintances men and women
At these her native exuberance and bravado
made them all laugh until they cried
When she was by herself, in place of recall
ing her unhappinesses, she mustered up cour-
age to hope. She still had her daughter,
though the latter was ungrateful and far away
One day some trouble would bring her home

She made loving advances to her enign1atic

At the end of week in the bandbox apart
