THER STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER CHAPTER LV. tt was so dark we could hardly see them—for we could just make out there were now two persons in the boat—but, as they reached the shore, a lamp that was burning on the wharf helped us a little. We could not clearly see what they were doing, but they certainly got out of the boat, and as certainly, there were then more than two figures moving about, and seemingly engaged in placing parcels in the wherry, But it was very gloomy there; they were in the shade of the wharf, and the lamp glimmered weak and faint, through the thick rain. It was the more difficult to see what was being done, because th: 1. were several boats tied ap to the landingsplace, making some confusion in the darkness. At last, how- ever, we could see that they were pushing off from the shore; s9 it was time fcr us move. We pulled back for a while (there was bo doubt as to which way the others would come,) and then sheeriug off lay between two coiliers until we saw the wherry we had watched go by. and once more we pulled after them. “Tm blest. if I don’t think there’s another boat following us,’ says Peter ‘illey. staring as hard as he could bebind

us, and Peter owned he might have been mis- taken.

We could not make out how many was ‘a the foremost boat, There was only one man rowing, that was plain; and he eulled short round at the proper place, as | knew he would, and rowed toward the Dateh trader. As he did so, we lost him for a secoud,a big steamer lying between us: put the hull of the vessel did not ob- struct the view up the river. I seized che moment, and waved my lantern twice. it wasall right. As quick as thought the light ou board the oyster-smack was moved «lso, and then we too were pulling across the stream. I wanted to capture my men on board the trader, as otherwise the paper might be get rid of, because | eouldn’t be positively certain that it was not already on board. In faet, Mr. Ed- mund Byrle was my chief aim; not the skipper.

fhe wherry pulled under the bows of the vessel; we followed just in time to see by a very convenient flash of light, two packages handed up; then a figure, which we had recognized by the same dash as the bony ferryman, got into the ship. As he disappeared, our wherry ronehed the vessel; and at the same ins stant to my great relief, a long black {hames police galley came along-side us, and its crew, five constables, with Barney Wilkins. who was there as guide, clamber- ed up like cats. 1 and Peter imitated them. but not quite so quickly ; and when [ looked over the bulwark, I saw by the light of a couple of lanterns, screened from the outside, four or five men, the boatman and the skipper being two, lifting up a great lid which fitted in the deck— the hatches I heard it called—while by their sides lay the packages of paper. I sould not see Mr. Byrle; but there was no time to consider ; we all jumped in az once, the men looking round in amazement at the nois*. [I fancied that just then I heard a shout from the boat.

« What do you all want here? said the skipper, angrily.

PAV hold seni began.

“Ob, it is you, is it?’’ he screeched, like a byena, or something of that sort. < Towe you a little tor a past sco-e and you shall have it.” As quick as lighting he pulled a long straight knife from the side of his trousers, where it must have been in some sort of sheath, and jumped at me with such suddenness, that he would have stabbed me, only Barney Wilkins snatched a handspike from the deck. and dashing between us, hit him down with such a blow that the skipper fell with a erash like a bullock when t is killed, the blood pouring from his head instantly.

It was as quick as thought. The other men were all seized in a breath. So quick was it all done, that I had no idea Barney was hurt, until he reeled, made a wild clutch as if he caught at something tor support, and then pitched forward on his hands and knees. .

“ Hello, Barney |” | said, stooping down to him. “ What's the matter, old fellow ?”’

«{’sallup, Mr. Nickham,” he gasped, «he’s done me. I only hope I’ve kiiled him. Where’s the other?”

«“ Oh, never mind the other, Barney,” I says. “‘ Where are you hurt oa But as I spoke, one of the men came with lantern, and Barney had no occa- sion to answer me. for I could see a straight etream of blood running from his chest unto the deck; and his hands giving way from weakness, he fell over on his side.

‘ Pull in for the shore, you, sir!’’ said the sergeant of the Thames police to my waterman. “ You know Marigold street ? Knock up Mr. Gartley, and tell him what has happened. Say we are afraid to move the men eome aboard.’”

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 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 CAPSICUM 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 mére real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will fee) its effect.

_ Physiciansin 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 cures effectefl by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSIOUM Porovs PLAsTerRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other pilas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for DR. MELYiN’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 ite safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from Jead 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 seli hundreds to your friends.

sk your druggist for prf MELVIN’s CAPSI- ©uM 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.
