THE STORY OF A DETEC TIVE OFFICER.

CHAPTER I.—Continvkp.

Now this was a very awkward incident __I mean of course about the clerk—and showed me that my work had already begun, and was likely to Le a little more intricate than I had expected. How the strdnger came to know as much as he evidently did, { did not trouble myself

just then to consider; he did know it; that was the fact I was concerned with. Why it was worth his while to take £0 much trouble about a small affair, I did not much care either, though this was mere important, as it was evident some one had employed him, for I would swear he was no smith or fitter; and so it was clear there was a good many in the swim. I don’t mean to use any slang if I can help it, but ‘swim’ is a regular word, you know, and we can't do without it.

My mind was at once made up. I was always very quick in making up my mind, and prided myself upon it. I am bound to admit 1 often got wrong through it, but perhaps no oftener thao other

ple who were slower; and I took care to make a good deal of the times when I was right, and so that recovered every- thing. Now, Peter Tilley, the officer I bad asked tor, was a man as much about my,size aud build and color of hair and eyes, as if he had been my twin-brother ; and indeed he was not much unlike me in his features. Any one who knew us would not mistake us for each other, but w casual acquaintance might do so. I was wearing then a rather extensive moustache and whiskers; they gave me quite a military eut; and they were not common io the force then, though any man wears them now that chooses. I at Onee determined to shave them off — for I never allowed personal considerations to interfere with my business—and this I knew would immensely increase his res semblance to me as I appeared that day, while I should of eourse look very unlike myself. Then I would send Tilley to the’ Yarmouth Smack—which was a public house at which, under some dis- guise, | had agreed to lodge while on my search—and he could keep his eyes open for anything going on; but he was not to trouble himself much. It was uncom- monly likely, 1 thought, that the spies — for I didn’t doubt there was more than one—would make sure that Smith or Brown or Jones, or whatever Tilley called himself, the lodger at the Yarmouth Smaek, was Sergeant Nickham, and ‘so, as long as they kept him in sight, they had the trump-card, if [ may be bold enough to say so, in their hands. And if 1 Had not met Inspector Maffery when t| did, when the clerk’s visit was fresh upon we, und I was rather out of temper about it, [should probably never have thought of mentioning the matter, and the detec- tive work would have begun on the wrong side.

would do as well for me as another. In fact, as the receiver was as likely to live on the opposite bank as on their own, | might actually gain by living at some place with the river between me and the factory, for a boat could easier cross the river in the dark than a cart could drive through the narrow streets and lanes without being noticed.

I told Tilley as much of my plan as was!

necessary ; he was delighted to help me, for he fancied I was a rising man, and it wus something of an honor to work for me. He was willing enough to wear the moustache toe; indeed, this was such a common and natural sort of disguise that it wassadopted quite as a matter of course.

T did not tell him that I wished him to beanistaken for me; I took care to choose the-moustache and whiskers; but it never occurred to him why that particular style was chosen; nor did I tell him, or In-, spector Maffery or Mr. Byrle, that I was going to shave. ‘I'bere’s nothing like keeping your own couusel in these cases ; and I resolved that if 1 had occasion to report myself to the Luspector (for he was supposed to have the case in hand), I would actually wear a false moustache my- self; but it was specially arranged that I should not go near any of the authorities 8 thought it desirable, for Mr. Byrle w the opinion that if any suspicion got afloat with regard to myself, the men who were robbing him were quite fly to watcli where I went. (I am afraid that I have dropped into slang again; to be “My” toa thing means that you are up to it, or down to it, as some prefer to say.) Well, this was Mr. Byrle’s opinion, and. I am bound to say, after the visit of the sham clerk, it was mine, too.

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

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

Csrlaece’

which we make, They possess a highly enamelied surface, and are practicaily indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they-can easy be cleaned, bs they will not lose any of their beauty by aeing wet, ‘This valuadle quality, com- bincd 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 of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage Which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special atcention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

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

Our f# NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to huve Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu;tomers makes somveedelay in the delivery of the Photos anavoidabie. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtained for less| money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will fad our charges very moderate.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Cemmencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been 2 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 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 mre real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters 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.

Physiciansin 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, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porovs PLastsrs, 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 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 want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You ean hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Ithough powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate a 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 Dr. M=Lvrx's CApst- 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, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
