There
's
somethin'
I
want
to
find
out
about
--
somethin'
that
I
ought
to
know
;
but
it
's
a
very
private
matter
with
me
,
and
--
"
He
paused
to
think
and
conjecture
,
looking
at
Mr.
Martinson
the
while
.
The
latter
understood
his
peculiar
state
of
mind
.
He
had
seen
many
such
cases
.
"
Let
me
say
right
here
,
to
begin
with
,
Mr.
--
"
"
Scanlon
,
"
interpolated
Butler
,
easily
;
"
that
's
as
good
a
name
as
any
if
you
want
to
use
one
.
I
'm
keepin
'
me
own
to
meself
for
the
present
.
"
"
Scanlon
,
"
continued
Martinson
,
easily
.
"
I
really
do
n't
care
whether
it
's
your
right
name
or
not
.
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
it
might
not
be
necessary
to
have
your
right
name
under
any
circumstances
--
it
all
depends
upon
what
you
want
to
know
.
But
,
so
far
as
your
private
affairs
are
concerned
,
they
are
as
safe
with
us
,
as
if
you
had
never
told
them
to
any
one
.
Our
business
is
built
upon
confidence
,
and
we
never
betray
it
.
We
would
n't
dare
.
We
have
men
and
women
who
have
been
in
our
employ
for
over
thirty
years
,
and
we
never
retire
any
one
except
for
cause
,
and
we
do
n't
pick
people
who
are
likely
to
need
to
be
retired
for
cause
.
Mr.
Pinkerton
is
a
good
judge
of
men
.
There
are
others
here
who
consider
that
they
are
.
We
handle
over
ten
thousand
separate
cases
in
all
parts
of
the
United
States
every
year
.
We
work
on
a
case
only
so
long
as
we
are
wanted
.
We
try
to
find
out
only
such
things
as
our
customers
want
.
We
do
not
pry
unnecessarily
into
anybody
's
affairs
.
If
we
decide
that
we
can
not
find
out
what
you
want
to
know
,
we
are
the
first
to
say
so
.
Many
cases
are
rejected
right
here
in
this
office
before
we
ever
begin
.
Yours
might
be
such
a
one
.
We
do
n't
want
cases
merely
for
the
sake
of
having
them
,
and
we
are
frank
to
say
so
.
Some
matters
that
involve
public
policy
,
or
some
form
of
small
persecution
,
we
do
n't
touch
at
all
--
we
wo
n't
be
a
party
to
them
.
You
can
see
how
that
is
.
You
look
to
me
to
be
a
man
of
the
world
.
I
hope
I
am
one
.
Does
it
strike
you
that
an
organization
like
ours
would
be
likely
to
betray
any
one
's
confidence
?
"
He
paused
and
looked
at
Butler
for
confirmation
of
what
he
had
just
said
.
"
It
would
n't
seem
likely
,
"
said
the
latter
;
"
that
's
the
truth
.
It
's
not
aisy
to
bring
your
private
affairs
into
the
light
of
day
,
though
,
"
added
the
old
man
,
sadly
.
They
both
rested
.
"
Well
,
"
said
Butler
,
finally
,
"
you
look
to
me
to
be
all
right
,
and
I
'd
like
some
advice
.
Mind
ye
,
I
'm
willing
to
pay
for
it
well
enough
;
and
it
is
n't
anything
that
'll
be
very
hard
to
find
out
.
I
want
to
know
whether
a
certain
man
where
I
live
is
goin
'
with
a
certain
woman
,
and
where
.
You
could
find
that
out
aisy
enough
,
I
belave
--
could
n't
you
?
"
"
Nothing
easier
,
"
replied
Martinson
.
"
We
are
doing
it
all
the
time
.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
help
you
just
a
moment
,
Mr.
Scanlon
,
in
order
to
make
it
easier
for
you
.
It
is
very
plain
to
me
that
you
do
n't
care
to
tell
any
more
than
you
can
help
,
and
we
do
n't
care
to
have
you
tell
any
more
than
we
absolutely
need
.
We
will
have
to
have
the
name
of
the
city
,
of
course
,
and
the
name
of
either
the
man
or
the
woman
;
but
not
necessarily
both
of
them
,
unless
you
want
to
help
us
in
that
way
.
Sometimes
if
you
give
us
the
name
of
one
party
--
say
the
man
,
for
illustration
--
and
the
description
of
the
woman
--
an
accurate
one
--
or
a
photograph
,
we
can
tell
you
after
a
little
while
exactly
what
you
want
to
know
.
Of
course
,
it
's
always
better
if
we
have
full
information
.
You
suit
yourself
about
that
.
Tell
me
as
much
or
as
little
as
you
please
,
and
I
'll
guarantee
that
we
will
do
our
best
to
serve
you
,
and
that
you
will
be
satisfied
afterward
.
