THE STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER,

CONTINUED

CHAPTER L.

“| think what Mr. Byrle means is, that in case he wants to speak to you, where shall he find you?” replied the young fellow. “ Yousee, I don’t know much of the business myself; 1 only he has engaged you as a detec-

know tive.

« And that’s more than you ought to have known,” I said; ‘“ however, Mr.

Byrle knows his own business best. Tell him that of course he can always hear of me under the name agreed upon, at the Yarmouth Smack, where I s all lodge.” é

«Under what name, did you say? asks the clerk.

“ T didn’t say any name, and | don’t mean to say any name,” was my an- swer. “If Mr. Byrle wants any more information, he had better write.”’

“Oh, very well,” says he, quite short and sharp, for 1 suppose he did not like my manner, and away he goes.

Isat and thought, or tried to think, but I could not get on so well as before; the visit of that young fellow had unaccountably upset me, and I could not settle down again. Then in came first one, then another, then two or three of our men, and so I got up and’ went out. I had hardly turned the corner, when 1 met Inspector Maffery, and it was pretty easy to see by his rosy cheeks and unsteady eye what he had been up to.

“Off for a meditative stroll I sup- pose, Mr. Nickham?” he says. “You are the boy for my money.”

“JT am glad to hear it, Inspector,” I said. “But I don’t think much of Mr. Byrle’s clerk, nor of Mr. Byrle himself, for his judgment in sending him to me.”

“Mr. Byrle’s clerk!” he says; and then repeats it: Mr. Byrle’s clerk!”

“Ab! IL said, “Mr. Byrle’s clerk. He came with a message from Mr. Byrile to know where he should meet me if he wanted to see me. I had alréady settled with him how I would call at his manager’s private house with my report, whenever I had any- thing to say; and he ought to have been satisfied with that.”

“You are making some mistake here, Sergeant Nieckham,” says Inspector Maffery. ‘Mr. Byrle had no clerk with him, and more than that, I’ve

with him myself till the last five minutes; till he got into the train in faet; and can swear he never spoke to antybody, but myself from the time I left you.”

»{¢ Then there's a screw loose!” I said ; “Mere’s something wrong here, I[n- spéctor, and we have got to deal with some uncommonly deep files. They have scored the first notch in the game, that’s clear, but perhaps we can turn | the tables on them all the better for it.”

« If there’s a man in the force as can | do it, Sergeant Nickham, you are that! man,” said Inspector Maffrey; “I'll trust it-to you; for my head just now ain’t up to the polishing off of such a business. Bat do what you like.”

‘Uan I have Peter Tilley for a week, Inspector ?”’ I said.

“Flalfa dozen for a month, if you like,” he answered ; “ Mr. Byrle is that invch in earnest,Sergeant Nickham,and he is that rich and liberal, that he would buy up half a dozen ratherthan be beaten. So pick who you like, and keep them as long as you like. | will see youall right.”

“Very good, Inspector,” I said, “Then t will have Peter to-morrow ; and don’t make any report of this little adventure, not even to Mr. Byrle. I think I see the little game, and I will try and spoil it.’

[fI had had any doubt as to the Iu spector having had quite enough brandy-and-water with Mr. Byrle (it was sure to be brandy-and-water, for Inspector Maffery never touched any- thing else; he said it was ordered for his liver)—I say if [had felt any doubt before, 1 should have none afier the way he wrung my hand and said: “If there’s a man in the force as can do credit to the force and bring ‘em through in triumph, that man is Ser- geant Nickham.” and so, after another squeeze of my hand, he walked away with a step so excessively solemn and stately, that it was only a little better —a very little—than staggering across the pavement, in the way of telling what was the matter with him ; but In- spector Maffrey was not a bad fellow, and never curried favor with those above him, by worrying and prying on

low him, and so we like the old boy. ay

GuUR NEW STUDIO,

we would iujorm them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Pootrocrapus of a Slyle and Quality tial has never been before allempted in this City. We bave on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BSAUIIFIL PHOrO- SNAMEL_

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu'ar elsewhere, ana cannot fail to be- come so here. '

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautiful

G@lace

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, bs they wil! not lose any of their beauty by aeing wet, ‘This valuabie quality, com- { bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all ef their Photos finished in this style—an advaniage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give speciai attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our ¥#NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces»

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment.

Fellows’ Compound Syrup is composed of Ingrediants identical with those which consti. tute Healthy Blood, Muscle and Nerve and Brain Substance, whilst Life itseli is directly dependant upon some of them.

By its union with the blood and its effect upon the muscles, re-establishing the one and toning the other, it is capable of effecting the following results :-—

It will displace or wash out tuberculous matter, and thus cure Consumption.

By increasing Nervous and Muscular Vigor, it will cure Dyspepsia, feeble or interrupted action of the Heart and Palpitation, Weakness ef Intellect caused by grief, weary, overtax or irregular habits, Bronchitis, Acute or Chronie; Congestion of the Lungs, even in the most alarming stages.

It cures Asthma, Loss of Voice, Neuralgia, St. Vitus Dance, Epileptic Fits, Whooping Cough, Nervousness, and is a most wond erful adjunct to other remedies in sustaining li’e during the process of Diptheria.

Do not be deceived by remedies bearing a similar name ; no other preparation is a substi tute for this under any circumstances.

The 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 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. MELYIN’s CAPSICUM PoROoUS 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 huadred 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 a 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, convinced of the wonderful enres 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 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

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. though 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 antee of its merits, and one plaster will oll hnndrete to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIx’s CApsI- cUM PoRroUs PLAstTER, and take no other; ox, on oe of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to

sews

Photographs can be obtained for iess money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that guality be given the preference; as-

eharges very moderate.
