Ss Story,

Pipley, the Policeman.

CONTINUED.

Ile was very busy that day, and took

up one man on suspicion; but only got soubbed for his pains.

‘] shall be too many for them yet,’!

said John, as he swung leisurely down a street. ‘Kvery dog has his day, witch dogs as well as mongrels, a running ubout and doing mischiet; and when I do get hold, why then ’—

ile paused before an orange woman who was encroaching upon the pavement, and, atter waroing her off, began to ponder cn her appearance. Some one must have committed those robberies, and why not sie as well as any one else? She was

bulky, and had a habit of sitting In a

sieve packed with her legs under her, to;

keep her warm; her bonnet was very much crushed, and her plaii shawl all! awry——all of which proved nothing; but! they might be found to be associated in, some way with the late robberie [i | was astonishing what great things some- times grew out of small, as the detectives had often shown.

John Pipley could not make the sides of the puzzle fit, so he moved on himself. |

«

Au! Now that was more likely. An orgau-grinder. Lum! Always loitering about snd turning that haodle, what

opportunities for thinking out villainy ! But no, it would not do. Le coulda’t take Giuseppe on suspicion; so the man ground out the march from ‘ Faust’? like so much musical meal to be blowa away upon tie wind, the sound buzzing in John Pipley’s ears, even when he was out of sight.

+ Lil have em yet—I'll have ’em yet,” said Jobo, as he chewed the cud of his disappoiatment, aad thought of his cap- tiin’s words; but his business was slack, the people were awfully well-behaved, and it was very disappointing.

A coseh rattled by, laden with lag- gage; butno scouadrel was dislodging a portminteau; and he—Joha Pipley— could not ruo after thit coach all the way to the depot to see if it arrived there safe. It was not reasonable, und would be hor- ribly wanting in dignity.

Ilow his head worked! Ilow he beat together his gloves, ia which his fiogers iiched to get at crime, or lonzei to liy hold of bis truucheon, and hit at some- thing, hard—very hard !

Up and down, bere and there; but no- thins on the wing. Not even a row, not even a horse down; alljwas peace whea he wanted war—wur to the truscheon.

It was enough to m:ke any policeman sigh, and he sighed accordingly. Ah! ifsome dariag seoundrel would only dash a brick throush one of those great panes of glass, and seiz2 handfuls of the glori- ous jewels therein! With whata feeling of exquisite delight he could bring dowo his truscheon upon the evil doer’s arm and mike him drop the treasure, which would fly scintillating all over the paves ment; and then, with the fellow’s cuff tightly held, the jewels gathered and pl-ced safely in his—Jobo Pi; ley’s—pocket, how he could proudly march the thief off, enter the charge, and deposit the culprit, jike so much honey which he had gathered sately in a cell!

Ah, and court next day! Yes he would shine there as the active and intelligent officer. he jeweler would, of course, come dowa handsome, and it would be a step toward promotion, Yes, if such an attempt were only made, and he was at hand to stay it. Whata crack at the gang it would be—-if it were ouly not a castle in the air.

Pipley beat his gloves together and sigh- ed deeply.

‘Il wus on the look-out when the list carriage robbery came off, and I'd almost go 80 fir as to swear that [ saw that roll of carpet perfectly safe ten minutes before it was stolen. ‘Though it couldn’t have been safe, or it woulla’t have been taken. Ah! I shall have ’em yet,’

‘Now, theo, policeman, gives a lift:

{

Joka Pipley had been slowly approachs

etood a lizht eart, with the tail-board down, and ao ordiaary-licking man was trying to lift a large firkin into the cart, its fel, | low being a'ready there. “Heavy ?’ said Pipley. ‘Qut an’ out,’ said the man.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of ithe 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 plasicrs.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capstcum 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 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 acure; 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 Gate that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enres effected by Dr. Mrivin’s CAPSICUM Porous PvLAsTers, 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 acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELYVIN’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 is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’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, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
