All the agencies of inquisition the hounds of the trail, the sleuths of the city's labyrinths, the closet detectives of theory and induction will be invoked to the search. Most often the man's face will be seen no more.
He had continued the work begun in the army a branch of the secret service and had built up the city's detective department in an almost marvelous manner, he himself being one of its keenest sleuths.
"This will let loose a horde of reporters on us," said Mr. Carrington very gloomily. "It will," said Mr. Flexen. "The pet sleuths of the Wire and the Planet will leave London in about an hour." "Well, they'll have to be dealt with," said Mr. Carrington. "Oh, they're all right. I probably know them. I'll get them to work with me. They must be treated very nicely," said Mr. Flexen cheerfully.
The authorities, State and municipal, goaded to desperation, did likewise, and the five million men, women, and children of New York were automatically metamorphosed into embryonic sleuths. New York was aroused. Jimmie Dale, alias the Gray Seal, member of the ultra-exclusive St.

I am going to have a first-class row with your Foreign Office about my passport, and I am going to speak harsh words about them up and down this metropolis.
