(c INCLUDED. )

’ a7 John Pipley was naturally good-naturea: |

He kaew, too, the Vv sue of aid in a row? how often the law was glad to appeal to a civilian for help io the capture of — ugly customers. So, without a moment hesitation, he slipped off his gloves, selze one end of the little barrel, and with a swing it was safely deposited in the cart.

«A little furder, old un,’ said the wan ; ‘now, then, both together. There's sum- mat else to come.’

A vigorous push sent the firkin right forwaid beside the other.

‘Now this here,’ said the man, ‘aud éhen there's the price of a pint,’ as he step- pei up to an egg box lying close under the win jow.

‘All right,’ said John; ‘ but just tell |

your people as it aint safe to have these things out like they do; there’s been a good many robberies about,’

~ «Well. L told our foreman as it wasn't safe” suid the man; ‘but he exiled mea fol for my prias. Now, then.’

John Pipley pocketed the money ofler- ed to him, got his fingers under one end of tiie strawspacket case, the man got his un- der the other, the box was rested oa the tail of the cart, leisurely thrust in, the tuilsboard rattled up, pios and chaius se- cured, the man climbed into the curt, a mutual nod of good-fellowship was ex- ehaoged, the reins were shaken, the horse flicked, and away it rattled, while Pi, ley slowly replaced nsgloves, looked eagerly round for scoundrels aod went on his way.

“ Jyuck’s dead against me,’ he said— “dead as dead; but [’ll have ’em yet. If some one would only do some hing. If Id any luck at all, I should have nobbed some one after them butter kegs. Heigho! nothing never falls in my way.”

All through the afternoon, like a law- preserving aod intelligent officer, did Pipley wander about his beat, longing to get a shot at some rascal or another; but everything was quieter than usual, and the time for relief coming. Pipley re- turued to the station.

“Another robbery on your beat this afternoon, Pipley,’’ said the captain. “Strange thing! Most mysterious! Bat it must be stopped. We can’t go on like this. I must put another man on”

“No, sir, don’t, plerse; [I’m down on ‘em first chance,” said Pipley; ‘‘ but what is it this time —another time-piece out of a carriage ?”

“No; a’—

‘¢ Not a coat from a hall?”

“ No; a shop-door robbery.”

“And I told ’em to be careful about them there rolls of carpet,’ suid Pipley.

‘“T don’t want to be harsh,’ said the captain, “and | suppose you were watched out of the way. A man can’t be every- where at once, nor yet be all eyes, as_ the press seem to think,’

‘What was it this time, sir?’ said Pip- ley.

‘QOh,a very daring affiir—butter fir. kine and egg chests, just delivered. Two firkins aod a chest taken fiom the grocer’s door directly after.’

‘ Were they outside the shop, sir?’ said Pipley, rubbing his gloves sottly together.

‘Yes, outside at Chedderby’s, The fellows must have had a cart. I’il put on a couple of plain clothes men, for this sort of thing must be stopped. The super. will be furious.’

‘They're sharp uns, and no mistake,’ said Joho Pipley, with a peculiar look of his eye; and then, being di-missed, he slowly returned to his lodgings, grinding his teeth, doubling his fist, and biting a bit of straw into the smaijlest possible frag- ments.

‘Tp won't do to say how I’ve been sold,’ he muttered at last, as he sat down to the tea tuble; ‘for I have been sold, and no mistake. Looked as innocent as a limb. he dil; and me not to see as_ he wus the lamb of black sheep. An me, after eight years in the force, not to have the percep- tion to tuke a note of the name upon the ert ?’

John Pipley might have spared him- aclf all trouble about that; for the name had been most-carefully removed,

ié was in Paris.

An elegant lady goes out shopping. | While she ic engaged, there is a heavy fall | of ruin. The streets are flooded, and, to udd to ber distress, her carriage stauds on the fur side of a Jarge, open square, which | has become a lake. She signals to the driver, buc his horses, being young, will not face the water. She stands on the! edge of the curb, stamping her little feet, | and not knowing what todo. A gentle. man passes and tukes in the situation at a! glavce. i hrowing his cigar aside, he steps) up to the lady, seizes her by the waist, deli-| Catcly, plunges into the tide, and lands her safely on the lower step of her carri. age door. Recovering from her astonish- ment, she turns around and mutters, ‘ In- soleat!' The gentleman looses no time, but steps back to the lady, seizes her by the waist, delicately, pluoges into the tide, and lands her where she stood before. He then takes off his bat, bows politely, | and walks away.

CAPSI

| The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

§ There never has heen a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters. \ Dr. MELVIN’S Carpstcom PorRovUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will . do more real service than a hundred of the = ordinary kind. All other plasiers are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect. j Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and ‘4 it has always been more or less used a8 @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered.

i} } an Dod Whitoa ar d Fay a Being, however, cenvinced of the wonderful The Balance Lubiiy Wy LUGE cull alley eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM

Porous PLAsTers, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you wanta certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CApsicuM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is Rp free from lead and other poisonous material eommonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cUM PoROUS PLASTER, and take no other; o7, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or ' $2 fora Sauer: they will be mailed, post paid, te : any address in the United States or Canadas.
