THE STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER,

————

CHAPTER I11.—Conetinven.

« Him!” almost screeched the man (although, mind you, he never once forgot his hoarse whisper;) “was it him vou licked? Sergeant Nickham, I'd go through fire and water for you now, for I hate and despise that wretch ; and if I had got a chance to do it safely, I'd have’—— He checked himself very sudden here, as if what he.was going to say wasn’t exactly the sort of thing to say to a detective. “T see you are on the right lay,” he begins again; “butI tell yeu he has settled with that skipper to have the stuff put on board, if it ain't already there; and then he'll go with it to whatever foreign port the craft comes from.”

“And who is he,’ I asked, “who has arranged with the skipper?”

“Ah, Mr. Nickham,” says Wilkins, with a very cunning look, “as if you didn’t know! - Haven’t you ‘been on the lurk round his house for two days past? Wasn't you there this morning?” .

Egad! I saw itall now! You might have knocked me down with a feather. { could hardly help saying something which would have shown my astonish- meut; bat I choked it down, and quite determined to. keep the upper hand with him, i said as cool as I could: “Now, Wilkins, no beating about the bush, or making me help you out. If you’ve got anything to say, any game tio mention, out with it like a man, and I’m your friend. You understand me.”

‘Fair and square you are, Mr. Nick- ham,’ says Barney; “and so you'll find me. That young Mr. Byrle has ‘got the paper, and he means to go out with the trader. There is people over in Holland awaiting anxious for it; and if once they get hold of it, it’s all U. P. with our bank notes. Now, I don’t know where the paper is; if I had known, bust me if 1 wouldn’t have blowed the gaff long ago!”

He meant that he would have ex- posed the whole transaction, and I noticed that this declaration did not quité agree with his anxiety to have friend on his side, a point on which he had dwelt so much before; but that didn't signify.

“Now, Mr. Nickham,’ he went on, ‘you must board the craft when the paper is shipped, if it ain't there yet.”

“It ain't there yet, my man,” I said, remembering what had dropped from Edmund Byrle, that “she would come on board:with the material.”

“Then [ think it will be to-night,” he continued ; “for a sail-maker as has been at work aboard her says she drops down the river to-morrow ; and I think by what I can learn in other quarters, he is right.”

[ thought so too, and at once made up my mind-thatethe mecting at the

tailway Tavern was to settle about shipping the paper.

“Tecan give a jretty good guess at the man they will engage for the job,” says Wilkins.

“iknow him,” I said; “a tall, sulky- looky bony-headed old fellow, with a game eye.”’

“Why, Mr. Nickham,” says Wilkins, “you are a wonder, a perfect wonder ! You are acredit to the force, and Sir Richard ought to hear of it! Why, that’s the man, the very man; and here have you only been down two days, and know all about it! Keep your eye on him after dark, and you're all right.”

We had some more talk after this; and then he pretended to go to sleep in his corner again, and I went out.

i went straight into the city and saw some of our chief people, who sent over tothe Bank. They would not chance my going there, for fear of somebody seeing me that had better know nothing about it. The gents from the bank could hardly believe their ears, and the compliments they paid me to be sure, it was decided ‘that everything was to be Jeft in my hands, and Lt was provid- ed with letters to the right parties at the water-side. But I need not go into any further particulars of that kind.

1 was not going to trouble myeelf anymore just now about the pilfering at Byrle & Co.’s factory ; as far as I was interested in it, the thieves might take boilers, wheels, chimneys, and all. | took up my post in the old arbors,and there, though the rain came steadily down, Lsat. I managed to get a pretty dry corner; and with a little of the Anchor's rum-and-water, and my pipes I made myself tolerably comfortable while I sat and watched the Dutch ivader. I was well screened from the sight of any one below, or else my zorner would not have suited; and al- though I could hear the steps and the voices of the people going to the ferry, and could have touched them by lean- ing over, yet they could not see me,

Thero never has been a time when tbe heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present, It is an undisputed fact that over balf 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 m@Bre 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 withthese 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 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 or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

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

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 is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPStI- cUM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on poceipt 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,
