WAYS OF SHOPPERS.
MONDAY THE BARGAIN HUNTERS'
DAY IN THE STORES.
Vednesdity the Parmer's Wife Comes
to Tumi-Thursday the "Ijtily Help"
Conies I'ortlt In Her Olnry A Hush on
Saturday.
"Every day brings forth a difTcrent class
of shopijors," said Inspector ICuox, of Bos
ton's jiolico headquarter, to a reporter The
inspector is one of tho most astute detect! ves
of shoplifters and pickpockets In the polico
business, nnd, from long habits of observa
tion, ho can "si2o up" u crowd with remark
able quickness and accuracy lie can usu
ally tell at a glance whether a person in a
big dry goods store is "straight" or "crook
ed." There is something about every thief
that "gives hlmuvvay " Notwithstanding tha
disguises which they adopt, female shoplifters
and pickpockets can never deceive Inspector
Knox. The way they act when they meet
him is often amusing Tho detective pro
tends never to see. thorn, and they at once
bejjm maneuvering to ascertain whether ho
hss really noticed them. Wherever thero is
a mirror or a store window that olfers an
opportunity to sco what is going on without
looking iiround, tho "siisiocts" strive in in
genious ways to study tho insjiector's facu
and eyo.
Th'olllcer has been too long In tho busl
ness to get caught napping in this way, nnd
the thief will gradually come to Imliove that
he has not lieen observed. It is, of course,
the object of tho otilccr to make 11 case
against tho suspect, nnd nt the same time ta
Ibid out in vv'.wt manner stolen property is
likely to bo disposed of. Tho thing then tc
be lone is to shadow tho suspect through all
the stores which ho or sho may visit, and
Hnnlly to tho lair This is n most difllcull
thing to do, ns tho thief who has had cxn
rieuco will always make anumberof "blull's'
at going home, lerhaps calling at half a
liozondifFcront places, going in front doors
und out back ones, until tho olllcor his lost
