To see him on the street one could easily guess that he was a fisherman, but never a detective. There is no practice, in the world that leaves its mark upon a man's face more clearly thani fishing.

He had a, lean, weather-beaten face, scribed and rescribed with lines. His hair was cur- 1 iously thin--and people rather expect- 1 ed it to be gray.
