Such action would provide a central point for gathering, compiling, and later distributing to local police authorities much information which would be helpful in the prevention and detection of crime. I believe this bureau is needed, and I recommend favorable consideration of this proposal.
"Mother!" cried Blair incredulously, "earrings!" The dull color on the high cheek-bones deepened; she smiled sheepishly. "Yes; I saw 'em in my bureau drawer, and put 'em on. Haven't worn 'em for years; but Blair, here, likes pretty things." As she glanced at him over her steel-rimmed spectacles, her eyes softened as an eagle's might when looking at her young.
Tell me how to find her!" came the fierce demand. "If you jump at me like that I'll make you stop here another week," said Clancy. "Man alive, I hate humbug as much as any man; but don't you see that the Bureau must make sure of its case before it acts? We can't go before a judge until we have better evidence than the vague hearsay of twenty years ago.
You never can tell how long lawyers will be, threshing out justice." "Where? Where? Oh, I call this fine!" Gloria was pulling out the contents of a bureau drawer. "Where are we going, auntie?"

In the interest of one a bureau has been established in the Interior Department the Bureau of Education; and in the interest of the other, a separate Department, that of Agriculture. I believe great general good is to flow from the operations of both these Bureaus if properly fostered.
Then, his mind at rest, he retired to his own room where he did up extraordinarily clumsy packages with white string, and laid them away in the bottom of his bureau drawer. Three days before Christmas the tree was delivered. Martin and Mr. Orde installed it in the parlour.
He heard the bureau drawers opened and shut, and then heard the squeak of a small writing desk that stood in a corner, as the leaf was turned down. Then came a rattle of papers and a sudden subdued exclamation. The desk was closed again, and the man came out of the room, leaving the hall door partly open. "Whatever he was looking for, he must have found it," reasoned the detective.
