the room as the inlet. In natural
ventilation, where cold air Le brought

near the floor lino, the outlets in the
ceilings, roofs, or wells above.
The Inlet and outlet most common-

in gold, and asked that an operative be
sent fc the town pear the farm. The
message was received et night. The fol-
lowing morning a man from the agency
went to the of8ce:from which the mes-
sage was sent and announced his business
just as a commercial, traveler would an-
nounce his. Nothing in his appearance
indicated that he was a man of mystery.
The man who sent the message said to
him: "A farmer," mentioning his name
and describing the way to the farmer's
house, "had $8,000 in gold. He kept it
in a box under bis bed. One day while he
was at work on his farm the money was
stolen. That's all there is to the case."
The detective hired n horse and rode
to the. farm. He sow the farmer, but
the farmer could ten him no more than
the man In town who sent the message
to the city. The detective remained in
the neighborhood several' days, visiting
other farmers. To each of them he said:
"I am a detective. I am looking for the
man who stole your neighbor's money."
Not oue of the farmers had a suspicion
of the identity of the thief. The detect-
ive learned the standing of each farmer
upon whom he called. Then he returned
to the home once.
About a week later another man went
to the same neighborhood and told' his
business. He was a detective from the
same agency and on the same business' as
the first. He went to each farmer and
told his business. Then he went away.
The farmers talked about big visit to one
another.
At the end of the third week another
detective went into the community. Al.
though he was disguised as a lightning
rod peddler, he told each farmer he saw,
confidentially, that he was a detective
looking for the than who had stolen $8,-
000 in gold. His reputation preceded him.
Wherever he went farmers said, "You
may be a lightning rod peddler all right,
but you are °'detective." And Invariably
be replied, "I am a detective," and all
the farmers' In the community talked
among themselves about the lightning rod ,
peddler detective who was In the country.
This detective suddenly disappeared.
Four weeks later another visitor came
Into the community. lie had no bu§mese
except that which he 'proclaimed as'he
traveled. He met men in the road and
said, after passing the time of day: "I
am a detective. I am here trying to find
out W10 stole farmer —'s $8,000 in
gold." The news traveled. It was a new
way of hunting a criminal. There w05
no mysterious man in disguise, but "a
real, everyday man in the neighborhood
who said he was a detective." "Have
you seen the detective?' was as common
n question as the salutation of the day.
To make his work all the more open this
detective said to the farmer who lost the
money: "You will soon have all your
gold back. There won't be a dollar of it
missing. The mac who stole it lives in
the neighborhood. He will confess the
theft."
"Won't 1m run away before he will
give it up?" asked the farmer.
The detective replied: "No. The man
who runs away will' thereby say to this
community that he is the thief. No one
3n tbis community will dare move nosy"
In the words of the chief who tens the
story, -"Every man in the community at
once belt that somehow or other he was
being watched. The tension became
painful, in spite of the fact that only
one man in the community was guilty."
Thirty-three days atter the robbery n
farmer went to town and asked that a
detective be sent for. When the detect-
ive came, which was the next day. the
farmer said to him: "Come with me and
I will show you where the $8,000 Is bur-
ied. I am the thief." The two men
went to the woods. The snow was ankle
deep on the spot whore the treasure was
buried. Atter clearing away the delft
the detective dug down and found
an old coffeepot containing the gold. He
took it to the farmer who had lost his
gold, and the former identified it. The
detective took his "prisoner back to the
city, and in less than a week the man
was in state prime.
"It was a common sense ride," said the
head of the agency. "Each one of the
men I sent up to the community learned
that there was only one matt in the com-
munity who wits in the habit of drink-
ing. Ile hid been for years addicted to

tried to get him to taste liquor, but he
refused. This was our only suspicion
