There never is. lie said, bitterly. 1 was attracted by the alleged romance of it, ami went hit- - it. 1 didn't find out my mistake until 1 had gut so far into it that I had a new profession learned. 'The first work tlie novice is put at, fills him with a said the detective, false idea of his own importance, lie is set to shadowing a man with a complicated route. The novice thinks he is on a big case, whereas in reality he is probably shadowing only an ofliee detective whose route was made uht beforehand to try him. The dishonest, trick man will fake up a report, nut knowing that he himself has been shadowed. If his report is nut absolutely genuine he is never heard of again aa a detective. In no other business is greater honesty exacted than in detective work. All the chief wants ia an intelligent report No matter if you fait so long as he can rely on your report, it is all right Detective work haa been reduced to such a system these daya that tlie old maxim, It takes a thief to catch a thief,' has no place in our category of abilities. Tire chief requisite is honesty. The novice is not sent out to learn by himself the art of shadowing. He receive from the first assistant to the chief some general instructions. These generally surprise the beginner, being contrary to what he thought he would have to dm For instance, he is told that the first rule in sliudowing is, do not use disguises. When a disguise is necessary, it is time to call in an assistant. Then comes another rule which he does nut know is. perhaps, the hardest of them all to follow, until he gets at actual work. This rule is. never let the shadowed see your fuce the second time. These two are the fundamental general laws of the profession. The specific rules are many, such as, never dodge behind trees, poles or corner. nneoneerned. If shaAlways apx-a- r dowed stops, go on like an ordinary person.

For a French family, especially with children, to admit strangers. French or foreigners, to their little circle is a mark either of desperate poverty or, you might almost say. of a certain shadiness. At least it is a sign of neg-lre- t, of loosening lip of prejudices, not well viewed by the neighbors. Thus boarding houses of Paris estabprofessedly money-makin- g lishments. run on the principles of any other business. Wliut the private family can not well do as a private family it can easily go into as a downright business speculation. The home life is put aside: children, if they exist, are wcked off to boarding 'schools: the husband gives np his clerkship and devotes himself to supervising the new venture, several floor of a large apartment house are taken, they advertise constantly, and their establishment and honorliecomes a able business enterprise, like any other. These boarding housesare very much given over to tourists and other foreigners. Intheintnd of the present writer they divide themselves roughly into six species. There are establishments, no high Hie high-clas- s us to lie slighly tainted with affectation. They very often go under the title of hotel, and are a fleeted mainly by English and Americans. You can live in one of them for anything yon please alwve FS.30 a day. Tire Grand hotel, a real hotel, and one of the complete pengreatest in laris, has sion for M a day. Then there are professedly family lmarding houses on a large scale, less formal and slightly less expensive. They are also mainly supported by English and Americans, according to tlicir name of family lKirmling house. A separate table for exclusively French conversation is their murk. Thirdly, there is the ordinary high-clas- s lxsirding cosmopolitan house, with a few English-speakin- g people and many Spuniunls. Hungarians. Chinese. Turks and Austrians snd all the rest, whose atmosphere is a trifle bohemian. An American negro. should he have money and good manners, would lie treated In such a company as well hs anylmdy else. Fourthly, there are the small boarding hotels, all dirty, with a great deal to eat ami of very ordinary quality. Then there is boarding in u struggling family in the suburbs or the I .a tin quarter (husliand and wife only), anil, last, the lmarding house run liy Americans in iuris.
