TRE STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER,
CHAPTER LL. —-Conrinurp
L was glad when he was gone, and I[ had the room, as I may say, to myself; so I sent my plate away, called for a little drop of rum and water (the only thing you could get fit to drink at the Anchor,) and lighting my pipe, sat with my feet on the fender, to have a good smoke and a good hard think. I had snt there perhaps half a dozen minutes, and had fairly settled down to my thinking, when a low voice said :
“Mr.. Nickham!” My name! It was a very low voice which spoke, but
the roar of an elephant couldn't have JOSEPH A.
startled me more. In an instant it flashed upon me that my disguise was seen through and all my plans. under- stood. Robinson Crusoe was not so staggered when he saw a footprint on the sand, as I was on hearing these two fumiliar words. I turned round, and there was that miserable rough that l thought had been asleep, standing and making signs to me. He was a regular rough, and no mistake, with short hair, wn ugly handkerehiet twisted round his neck; His nose had been broken at -ome time or another, and he looked a complete jail-bird. “Mr, Nickham!”
It was he that spoke; no mistake abeut-it this time ; and he put his hand up to the side of his mouth to keep the sound straight.
‘Who are you?” said 1; for you know I didn’t like to answer to the hame at once, in case he wasn't certain.
“My name is Wilkins—Barney Wil-| kins,” said the man. “ But you won't recollect me by that p’raps; though I've been through your hands, sergeant: but I giv some other name then. You got me twelve penn’orth for ringin shotuls.”
fie meant that he had been sent to pri- son for twelve months for passing bad money. 1 wasn’t surprised to hear it ; he looked fit for that or anything bad. But if ie got it through me, why he should speak to me now was beyond my comprehension.
“| knowed you directly I see you, ser-~ geant,” he says, coming nearer, but speak. ing in the same hoarse whisper as at first, “and though you’re a tight hand, you're fair and square, and acted as such by me when you copped me, You are down here om business—you’re after some rare downy cards. Now ain’tyou sergeant?”
‘If you know,” I said, ‘‘ what do you ask me for? And if you thing [am what you say, you don’t suppose I shall tell you any. business, do you ?’’
“Sergeant,” be says, coming nearer atill, ‘you fought a man in the street, last} aight, and giv him a through good licking You was the only man there as would take the part of a poor gal as wasn’t doing harm to nobody, and I respect you for it, ser- geant, I do. The gal was my sister—my young sister, a8 has been like a child to mae, and was so tidy and pretty that I was proud on her, and hoped—Well, sergeant, whatever we are, we all have our feelings ; and Sergeant Nickham, Ili do youa good turn. Look here!’ With this, he crept quite close and put his mouth almost to my ear. I watched him carefully, being gouch puzzled by his actions, yet I had

Fellows’ Compound Syrup is composed o Ingrediants ideutical with those which consti- tute Healthy Blood, Muscle and Nerve and Brain Substance, whilst Life itself is directly dependant upon some of them,
By its union with the blood and its effect upon the museles, re-establishing the one and toning the other, it is capable of effecting the following results :—
It will displace or wash out tuberculons matter, and thus cure Consumption.
By increasing Nerwous 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 Chronic, Congestion of the Lungs, even in the mest alarming stages.
It cures Asthma, Loss of Voice, Neuralgia, St. Vitus Dance, Epileptic Fits, Whoopin Cough, Nervousness, and is a most wonderfu adjunct to other remedies in sustaining life 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.

seen such unexpected things oecur in the police that I was quite ready to hear of aomething of consequence from him. ‘ You are down here about that Bank paper, what is said to be all got back, but which you know it isn’t. You are on the right parties, and it does you credit; but you'll never get them nor the paper without me.’

‘there's no doubt at all that any man coming forward would be very handsomely considered by the Bank people.’

(CA PSIC 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 PURovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, %o act quicker than any other oes they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more 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 al] ages haye thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used a8. a medical agent for an outward application; hut itis only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderfui eures effected by Dr. Mrivin’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTERS, 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
ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELYrIn’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful] and
uick in its action, youcan rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the mianufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. Ono trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hondreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr, MELYrI™’s Capsti- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other ;\gr, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, ot
than ever Tom Sayers could; and if that’s so ('lltrust you. And this here man won't give me more than five pounds; and he tias settled with a regular fence, a sort of | Dutch-Yankee skipper, what pretends to | command one of them traders out there.’ |
