THE STORY OF A D™TECTIVE OFPICER.

~_— ae

CHAPTER U1

The bony ferrvman, in his tarpaulin coat and hat, was’t there this afternoon ; and very sloppy and miserable all the boats looked ; and as the tide fell lower and lower, the great broad bed of viver-mud grew broader, and the path to the ferry-boat grew longer, and still I kept my watch, and meant to keep it. 1 must own, however, that I did not expect to see anything worth notice, for what could there be? But some- tixaes, you know, in our business, it is as necessary to watch to make sure there is nothing being done, as it is to make sure that some important move- ment is going on.

There was an oyster-smack not fifty yards from me that was left on the shingle or mud when the tide went down; and there was a man smoking his pipe on the deck of that oyster- smack, just as I was smoking mine in the arbor, and when night came, and the river got dark, and you couldn't make anything out of it but a great black space, with a hollow sound of the wind moaning over it and of the water lapping on the shore as the tide rose again—then there was a lantern burning on the deck of that smack, and there was a similar lantern burn- ing in my arbor; but the light was shown open on board of the smack, and mine was a dark-lantern (so was the other) with the light hid. But [ was perfectly well aware that the man aboard the smack never took his eyes off me while it was light, and that after dark he watched me to see if | eves my lantern. I didn’t show it; but if ] had, there would have been a Thames police galley and five armed constables alongside of that hard in a couple of | minutes.

CHAPTER LY.

Long after it had grown quite dark, all remained quite, and at last [resolved upon making a moye. I had deter- mined upon fetching Peter Tilley. I had plenty of assistance, but I thought I should like to have Peter with me. So I went down to the ferry; a gas- light which burned at the cornei showed me before | left my post that the bony ferryman was not there; and choosing a pretty good boat, with a strong young fellow to pull, I got in. ft was a most unpleasant night; as

dark as pitch, which was bad enough, |:

but every now and then it lightened, which was worse, as if dazzled my eyes, and made me think we were running smash on board some great vessel which | bad not seen a moment before, and couldn’t see a moment after. How- ever, the boatman was used to all kinds of weather, | suppose, and knew the river thoroughly; so, through the darkness and the rain, which never left off fora moment, we reached the other side.

T left the boat to wait for me, and

ran up to the Yarmouth Smack. I looked in, and saw Peier leaning

against the bar and smoking a short pipe, as a laborer ought to do; and he was talking in a friendly way to some rough-looking fellows. I slipped in, and using the name we had agreed upon, spoke to him. He knew my voice of course; but seeing me so changed, for my make-up was really splendid (it was, although [ say so that shouldn’t,) it gave him such a shock that he was obliged to put the pewter down he was going to ion from and look steadily at me before he answered.

“T’m a-coming,” he said at last, and we got outside; when, as we walked down to the ferry, I gave him a sort of idea of what was going on, and how I expected to make a great catch that night. Peter of course was very giad to be in for such a big thing as this for he had never been mixed up with anything so important.

Not to trust the boatman too much, I kept Peter back a few yards from the water while I finished my story, stand- ing # little on one side, so as to be out of the way of the people who came and went to and from the ferry. While | was talking to him, a wherry ran in; we heard her grate on the pebbles and the seulls rattle as the men laid ’em in; but that we had heard before. It’s a partof my habit to notice little things however, and 1 looked to see who had come in by this boat. There was only one passenger, a woman, and she pass- ed us walking quickly; but quick as she walked, I saw her, and she saw me. Blessed if it wasn’t Miss Doyle! My being there was no odds to Miss Doyle, nor could it have signified to her if she had seen me fifty times; yet I felt 1) would rather not have met her just then; | it looked unlucky, and she was such an! uncommonly sharp one, too. Sharp or, not, I couldn’t see what she could make} out of my standing under a wall on a) wet night talking toanother laborer. |

The Greatest Medical Disecvery 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 m6re 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 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, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MmLvIn’s CAPSICUM Porovos 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 = want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate agg 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 seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvin’s CAPst- cuM Porovws 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 apy address in the United States or Canadas.
