There are detectives among the chambermaids and bellboys in the hotels, and also among the guests; there are detectives on the passenger lists and in the cardrooms of the Atlantic liners; the colored porter on the private car, the butler at your friend's house, the chorus girl on Broadway, the clerk in the law office, the employee in the commercial agency, may all be drawing pay in the interest of some one else, who may be either a transportation company, a stock-broker, a rival financier, a yellow newspaper, an injured or even an erring wife, a grievance committee, or a competing concern; and the duties of these persons may and will range from the theft of mailing lists, books, papers, and private letters, up to genuine detective work requiring some real ability.
Lance would have been like his father, to his friend's sense, had he had less humour, and like his mother had he had more beauty.

Make me a millionaire, and I will purchase the passionate devotion of any free-hearted woman the world contains!" Waymark's pipe had gone out; he re-lit it, with the half-mocking smile which always followed upon any more vehement utterance. "That I am poor," he went on presently, "is the result of my own pigheadedness. My father was a stock-broker, in anything but flourishing circumstances.
