THE STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER.

—_———

CHAPTER IL.—-ContTInven.

Just as we pushed up to the hard (that’s the landing-place,) he says to me: ‘Do you often cross here Q

“Not often,’ I said, “at anyrate, not yet. I generally cross a little higher up.” (That was very true; about Westminister Bridge was my place; if he liked to think I meant somewhere about Tooley Street or Billingsgate, of course I could not help it.) “But I have left my old quarters, and so I shall often go this way.”

“ Ab,” he says “ you live at the “Yar- mouth Smack,” don t you?” “The what?” I said.

that ?”

“The ‘Yarmouth Smack,’” he says again, pointing to the side we had come: trom.

I knew where the ‘ Yarmouth Smack’ was well enough; but I shook my head, and said: ‘No, L live on this side of the water; but I shall live anywhere where I can get work.”

He didnt say any more; I did not suppose he would ; but there was some- thing uncommonly suspicious in his talking about the “ Yarmouth Smack,” something more than I could believe eame from chance.

in the lane, just as [ was about to turn into the side door of the Anchor, { met the foreign-looking captain, who must have crossed the river before me, as I had seen him on the other side. He knew me, I could tell well enough, and. 1 knew him; but I was not going to let him see where | was going ; so I passed the door of the “Anchor,” limp- ing on till he was clear; then I hurried in, went up-stairs at once, and was out in the old ruined arbors 1 have spoken of in a minute. These overhung the river at high-water (it was nearly high- tide now) and the landing-place of the ferry was close to them. The ferry- man and the captain were talking, as I expected they would be, while the boat was waiting for passengers; and by standing in the corner box, I could have heard every word they said, if they had spoken out as honest people should speak. But they were that artful and suspicious, although they could not have known there was any- body listening, that they talked almost in whisper, and I only caught the last bit from the ferryman.

“No,” he says; “he’s not the party ; bat Pll go to the “smack” to-night and make sure of the man.”

Ah! as I thought; they were both in it somehow. But what a most extraor- dinary fuss and gun-powder plot. sort of business there was about stealing a few, bits of metal. I actually should have felt ashamed of the East-enders, who are really some of the sharpest folks I-ever came across, if I had not felt there was something behind, and thaty by a lucky accident, I seemed upon the point of finding it out.

The night—my first night in the east too—was not to pass without an adventure, and I had not seen the last of my new acquaintance, the cap- tain. I got very tired of the company in the “ Anchor’ —not that I mind who I mix with, and if there had been any of the factory hands about the place, I would have sat with them until the house closed ; but they only came there at meal-times it seemed, or on their road home. So I walked about the neighborhood a bit; not because it was pleasant, for it was a wet night; and what with the rain and the mud and the drunken sailors and the fried fish shops and the quarrelling there was going on, it was anything but

“ Where's

agreeable. The fact is, I like to know |

every court and alley in my district, and there were some pretty courts and alleys here. However, nobody thought me worth robbing, and because Lam always civil, so I never get interfered with. It’s a eapital rule; the best I know ; and costs nothing.

When I was coming back, and had) got pretty nearly to the “ Anchor and’ Five Mermaids’ again (it is very ab-| surd to give such long signs to public- | houses) | saw a very pretty girl whom | I had noticed before, standing at a corner out of the rain; but it was not raining very much now. She wasn't— well, I won’t say what she was not, or what she was. She was very pretty, I say, and was doing no harm there; but two or three fellows coming by at the moment, one of them took hold of her roughly, and finished by almost push- ing her down. She got away from him, and drew a door or two off; but his companion laughed at him for being bested by a woman, he followed her, and on her pushing him from her, gave her a back-handed smack in the face.

‘READY-MADE

about, smoking and so forth, and I heard one or two of them say it was a shame; but none of them interfered ; and J, being a little way off, and not wanting to get into a row, might have passed this over; but she called him a brute and a coward. She ran across the road to where I stood, to avoid him, aud he followed her. Then I saw it was my acquaintance, the captain. To be Continued.

Fellows’ Compound Syrup is composed of

Ingrediants identical 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 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 of the Heart and Palpitation, Weakness ef Intellect caused by grief, weary, overtax or irregular habits, Bronchitis, Acute or Chronie, Congestion of the Lungs, even in the most 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.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery 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 madre real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Ali 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 ove 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 cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, Ree in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of pilasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELYIN’s CApsicCUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly belieye yourown 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 is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dk. MELYVIN’s CAPSI- 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,
