The quiet London detective retired recently. He is Detective-Inspector Charles E. Chapman, who joined the Metropolitan police in 1905. His " quietness" made him ideal for secret inquiries. Mr Chapman once followed a man for 24 hours without a break. From a window he saw the man undress and go to bed. The detective was not satisfied. He waited and watched. Two hours later the man arose, dressed and went out, with a rough-looking man (Mr Chapman) close behind. Mr Chapman arrested the man and his gang single-handed.
