[Sidenote: Detectives]
After Mr. Ireland had seemingly dismissed the subject of the stolen
bird-house from his mind, Charles reported his loss to the principal,
Mr. DeShane.
Mr. DeShane called Henry and Julius to him at once and said,
“You boys either know where that bird-house is or can find out inside of
an hour. Your honor demands that you get it. You are the detectives.
Deliver the house at Charles’ home before an hour goes by.”
The thief was found and the bird-house given to the owner, largely
because Mr. DeShane expected it.
