THE STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER,
CHAPTER L1.—Continven.
fhe drizzing rain came down avain as I got out at T ; but luckily, Mr Byrle’s house was not more than a quarter of a mile from the station ; and so, resuming my limp, I got there with- out delay. The man-servant who an- swered the door took my letter, but told me that the old gentleman was not at home; then, on finding Miss Doyle was to open the letter and send an answer, told me to wait in a “yen room which looked as if it was used as an office, having floor-cloth instead of carpet, wooden chairs, and so forth. He was a careful servant, and would not ask a stranger to wait in the hall, where coats and umbrellas might be had by a sharp party.
I had not waited long, when the door opened, and a young lady, whom IL of course judged to be Miss Doyle, came into the room. She was a dark, keen looking young party, and spoke rather sharply. “ You are to take an answer back, I believe ?” she said.
“Yes, miss,” I answered, touching my forehead, for as you may suppose, T held my cap in my hand.
“Mr. Forey only wishes me to send word; [ am not to write,” she went on ; ‘he wants to know if Mr. Byrle will be at the works to-morrow. He will not. ‘Tell Mr. Forey he will leave town to-night, and not return until the day after to-morrow. You understand ?” She spoke very sharply; so L said: “Yes, miss,” sharply too, and touched my forehead again,
“You need not wait,’ she said ; and opening the door I saw the servant waiting to let me out. 1 knuckled my barehead again, and puttingon rather | a clumsier limp than before, got out of the house into the rain and mud. Rain and mud! What did f care for vain and mud now ?
“Sergeant Nickham,” says J, when I got fairly out of range of her win- dows, for [| wouldn’t trust her with so much as a wink of mine— Sergea# Nickham,” I said, “you are the boy! if you can’t command your face, there isn’t a man in the force as can. If you haven't got a memory for faces, find me the man who has, that’s all about it
Why, of all the extraordinary capers that 1 ever tumbled to in my lite, I never came near such a caper as this. Miss Doyle! That was Miss Doyle, was it? Right enough, no doubt; but if she wasn’t also the sham clerk who came and found that [ was put on the watch by Mr. Byrle, t didn’t know a horse from a hedge-hog—that’s all. The quick look of her eye, her sharp, quick voice, the shape of her face, the very way she stood—lor! it was all as clear as daylight. But when I thought, and 1 kept on thinking till I had got back to the works, what could she have to do’ with that. It was past all question in.my mind as to her being the same party. I Isnew it for certain ; and then came the point—what did she dress herself up for and come a-spying_ on me and her uncle ?—for she was Mr. Byrle’s niece.
I hadn’t got to the bottom of this by any means. By the time 1 got back to the works, however, I gave my mess- age very respectfully to Mr. Forey ; and offered Bob the gatekeeper his sixpence back, with many thanks.
“No, old chap,” he says; “keep it at present. If you get on regular, [Il take it of you and a pint into the bar- gain the day you draw your first week's cash; but a fellow out of work knows the vally of a sixpence.”
The same ferryman took me back ; and his temper hadn’t improved, | found. I fancied too that he was par- ticularly watchful of me, and so I was particularly watchful of him; and from long practice, I could do it better and more secretly than he could, although he had got a cross-eye. Lor! J could tell when we were nearing that same ship that the man climbed out of; I could tell it by the cunning way in which the boatman looked at me, to see if I would take any special notice of it. I didn’t know what his little game might be, but I determined td spoil it; so I stooped down, and was tying up my sboe, making quite a long job of it, till after we had fairly passed the craft, and then I looked with an innocent face that quite settled him.

Fellows’ Compound Syrup is composed of Ingrediants identical with those which consti. tute Healthy Blood, Musclg and Nerve and . ? Brain Substance, whilst Life itself is directly dependant tpon 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 6fthe Heart arid Valpitation, Weakness ef Intellect caused by grief, weary, overtax or irregular habits, Bronchitis, Acute or Chronic, 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 wonderful 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.

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 tha entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELYVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by ail who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do mé6re real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasiers 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 advah- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CApsicuM Porous PLasterRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, th¢y 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 orliaiment. After you have tried other plas. ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for DR. MELVin’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 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 i a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plagter will seli hundreds to your friends,
Ask your druggist for Dr, MrLvre’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 majled, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
