ME STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER.

i CHAPTER LY.—Conaincep |

Having finished iny explanation, we both got into the wherry, and J asked the man if he would like a good long iob, which might perhaps last all night.

' «Phe longer the better, governor,” he says, “if the pay is accordin’.”

“The pay will be accordin’,”? I an gwered; “and so you are engaged.

The first thing I made him do was to round that oyster-smack, for the tide had risen enough to take us round her. I showed no light, but we went ‘nside her twice; and the fellow on the watch was very sharp, so he was lean- ing over the side when we came round the second time, and I could say quite quiet-like, “I am in this boat now— watch the river. That was quite enough: he knew he would not now have to look to the Anchor for signals.

After this there began what I believed the most disagreeable sort of patrol 1 ever had. There was # time when I used toenvy the Thames police ; but I ean’t say IT ever did after that night. We were obliged to be in motion almost continualiy, because we did not know from which side of the river the paper might come, and we! weren't quite sure that it would come at all, especially on that night; and I don't know, speaking from my own experience, that there is anyt hing more trying to the spirits than the pulling haekwards and forwards and loitering about on the river Thames in a raw October night with a small thick rain

Was

falling. Twiee we landed and went once to the Smack and once to the Anchor. 1 couldn’t grudge the men a

glass of hot grog; in fact I was obliged t» have some myself, even if [ missed my captwre through it. ,

It grew later and later; the flashes of lightning still came at long interva's; but the lights on the shore went out, and excepting the gaslamps which burnt at street-corners, ferries, and wharfs, all was dark. The trattie on the river had long ceased, no shouts or vattle of wheels came from the shore; and the rain still falling, it was, [ give you my word, most horribly miserable, dull avd sloppy beyond description. Twelve o'clock had struck, and one, and perhaps half an hour beyond it 1 had cautioned my companions to speak very low; so the boatman only whispered when he said: “It’s as quiet as it is likely to be governor, if you've got anything to run. I have just seen the police galley creep along on the other side; I seen her under that lamp. Now’s your time.”

He thought we were smugglers! Perhaps he didn’t care if we were thieves. 1 told him to be patient; -when at that very instant, just as we were creeping along under the lee of a coal-barge, a wherry shot very silently by, right in front of us, going across the stream, and not six feet from our bows. In her sat the sulky ferryman ; 1 knew him at a glance, dark as it was. « Pull after that wherry,”’ I said.

“Peter Tilley, my lad,” I continued, turning to Peter, “ the time's a coming, I think.”

‘]’'m precious glad of it,” says Peter ; “for I’m catching a cold in my head every minute [ sit in this confounded boat; and it’s all soaking wet where I’m sitting.”

Our man pulled on. He was a very strong fellow, as I have said, and we could have overtaken the other boat direetly, but this, of course, [ did not want, [ knew where to look for the old scamp, and sure enough after a few atrokes across the stream, he bent to; the left and ran under the bows of the Dutch trader.

All was dark and silent as the grave aboard the ship, But that didn’t deceive the eld boatman, nor did it deceive me. 1 stopped our boatman in the shade of the next vessel, if you can call any- where a shade, when it was all pitch dark. We had not been there a minute before I heard a slight noise—it wa: impossible to see anyone unless he stood between you and the sky—and then I could tell by the sound that a man had dropped into the wherry.

tere was no need to tell me what man it was. With an almost noiseless dip, the ferryman dropped his sculls into the river again, and rowed on, we still after him. I took it for granted he was going to the other side of the ferry; but he suddenly bore off to the right, and rowed on for some little time, then, striking in between two vessels, he went straight for the land,

“Where is he going to?’ I whis- pered. |

“To the landing at Byrle’s wharf,” says the boatman, in the same tone.

So he was; and it appeared that this landing-place was at the farther side of the wharf, that is to say, lower down

Tho Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused 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 CAPSICUM Porous 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 mére real service than a nantred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effeet a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as & 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. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, wee in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

YR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own 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 free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dk. MELvVIn’s CAPSI- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or,

“on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
