"Did I ever Couto ae1o85 any queer

" His surname I never learned, and
his station in life was not very high,
far he was but a humble scavenger.
The fust night I clapped eyes upon him,
though it must be nearly ten years
ago, is indelibly stamped on my mem-
ory. I was walking my lonely beat
when I saw a flickering light some dis-
tance ahead itt the roadway, which told
me the scavengers were at their night-
ly duties, and the prospect of a chat
to relieve the monotonous round. being
far from unpleasing, I strolled towards
the light.
" The man was en the opposite side
of the rubbish heap as I approached,
shoveling steadily away, and by the
faint glimmer of the gluttering candle
I perceived that he was humpbacked.
Stealing up noiselessly in my goloshes,
I suddenly greeted him with a cheery
' What ho I' Somewhat startled, he rais-
ed his face, and as he ddid so I flushed
my bull's-eye right in his eyes.
"' Jehosophat I' I murmured, Inward-
ly, and for a moment I could do no
mare than stare at his truly repulsive
countenance,
" Clean-shaven, save for a strag-
gling beard. that hung from his chin,
hook nosed and beetle-browed, with a
mouth which had been twisted sideways
in some unaccountable manner, his
ghoulish appearance was intensified by
the darkness that surrounded the halm
of light in which his face was framed,
giving him an expression truly diaboli-
cal.
iabolical. With a, grin that can only be de-
ecribed as hideous, he returned my
greeting, displaying his teeth, which
were discolored and irregular. Efts
speech was an inarticulate mumhle,and
most difficult to follow.
"In conversation he laconically in-
formed me that he had only been set
on the previous week, and that ac-
counted for my never having previous-
ly met with him. I gathered from his
mates, who were inclined Lo shun him
on account of his far from prepossess-
ing appearance, tbat he had been nick-
named ironically, ' .Beauliful Bob," and
by such appellation was ha generally
known, More than that they could not
tell me. He lived his own life and
made no friends. I was destined, how-

At the Thames Police. Court, the
maglel. ale, after 'bearing the evidence
discharged 1111. hunchback with an ad-

back to the Dartmoor to work out his
unfinished term. There he was classed
as an utter incorrigible, and about
twelve menthe afterwards was killed
by one of the warders while endeavor-
ing to escape. No doubt you read of
the effete' in the papers.
"Coming out of the court, after the
hearing of the wise, 1 came across Bob
who was silently slinking away, loom-
pllmented 11im on his acquittal, and
added a word of good -matured advice
that he would in future steer clear of

uncontrollable outbreak. It was little
wander that the sight of the villain
who had robbed him of his love ill-
treating her ite such a brutal fashion
had maddened him. He would have
been less than mortal had he failed to
punish such a blackguard.
The incident bad nearly faded from
my memory, when one afternoon some
eighteen months afterward, happening
to bo off duty, having been incapacit-
ated for a time by a bullet in the left
shoulder, presented to me by Dan Fel-
oney, the housebreaker, I was strolling
over my old beat, when to my surprise
I saw ' Beautiful Bob' come out of the
court where he Paved.
' The roadway was being. repaired at
the time, and ss the roller traveled up
and down a carowd of children danced
around it, running backward and for-
wards before it, as the daring little
beggars will. Suddenly a startled cry
brake from the lips of the driver as
lie hurriedly turned off steam. One of
the children, a tiny surly -headed fel-
low, in running before, had slipped
right, es it seemed, under the very
wheels of the ponderous machine. There
was n heartrending shriek from a wo-
man who was walking by my side, and
she gripped my arm convulsively as she
screamed, wildly. " Oh, good heavens!
My child 1'
The engine was traveling down a
slight decline at the time, and it seem-
ed to me from where I stood that the
child must inevitably be crushed; but
in less time than it takes me to relate,
the hunchback, who must have seen
the child fall, dashed forward and
snatcb,ed him up as it were from the
very jaws of death. Even as the stag-
gered away, the front of the machine
caught him and sent the child flying
from his arms, and himself on to the
ground. Bre he could drag his ungain-
ly body away, one of the heavy front
rollers 'had passed over his foot.
Springing forward I dragged him with
en almost superhuman effort into saf-
ety. His right foot was completely
smashed—but though the agony must
have been intense he bore it with an
heroic manliness I had never before
witnessed; nay, he actually smiled, and
as I bent down to render 'him first aid
I caught his drawn-out whisper, 'Pol-
ly.'
ed his story came about in this way:
"Some months after first seeing hint,
my beat was altered for a time to one
of the shadiest districts of the 11. Dlv-
ision. It was at the time of the ' flip-
per' scare, and I, amongst others, was
told off for special duty. I was put
on a place where the night policemen
never ventured except in pairs. It was
simply one vast honeycomb of pestil-
ential slums, the retreat of most of
the worst characters who preyed on
the community, the headquarters of
burglars, pickpockets, and criminals, a
veritable hot bed of orime ; and we, who
paraded it, knew that we literally car-
ried our lives in our hs•nds,
"One Saturday night my mate and
myself were standing on the corner
of one of tate darksome streets that
led off from the main thoroughfare.
The flaming gin palace of the corner
was disgorging its crowd of more or
less besotted tramps, and regular top-
ens, and we were anticipating the cus-
tomary weak end disturbance' nor were
we disappointed, for suddenly a halt -
drunken ltlaekguard, whom I knew as
'Flash Charley,' a ,notorious burglar,
reeled through the swinging doors with
a shower of horrible curses. He was a
ticket -of -learn, and I had received spe-
cial orders to watch him carefully.
Hardly 71 ad he reached the street when
a starved -looking woman, with a child
held to tar breast, advanced towards
him and besought him piteously to coma
home without creating a disturbance,
' For e moment the drunken ruffian
regarded her savagely, then raising his
clenahod fist, without a word he de-
liberately struck her to the ground,
and brLually commenced to kick her
half -unconscious body, I strode for-
ward, but ere I reached the curbstone,
with a fearful howl of execration am
ungainly creature sprang at the man
and, clutchisg- him by the throat, dash-
ed his fist over and over again into the
bully's face.
)tushing forward, my mate andmy-
self strove to separate them, and after
a severe struggle succeeded in drag-
ging tato maddened assailant from the
body of the burglar. Ile was foaming
at the mouth Like some wild animal,
and wilib a start I recognized him as
' Beautiful Bob,' tate hunchback. His
fury was terrible to witness. Again and
again he endeavored to break from my
grasp and hurl himself upon the brut-
al coward whom my mate was assisting
to lois feet.
"' Come, Bob l' I remonstrated, as I
grappled with him, and dexterously
Slipped the derbies on his wrists, 'calm
down, or I shall have to hurt you.
"Curse shim 1' he exclaimed, and his

" The crowd lyroke away, and the wo-

down at his side with the terrified lad
her arms. Taking the threadbare
shawl from heir shoulders, she slipped
it tenderly beneath his head.

utterance ' any brave Bob! Ilow can I
thank you?"
A smile lit up his twisted features,
as 'he raised his hand and lovingly
stroked her hair.

his eyes were illumined with a look of
love; ' it's nothing. I shall soon be out
of the hospital, and then, will you give
me the right to look after little Joey

"For answer the woman bent down,
and kissed his pallid face."

Nervine passes by the organs, and im-
mediately applies its curative powers
to the nerve centres, from which the
organs of the body receive their supply'
of nerve fluid. The nerve centres'
healed, and of necessity the organ
which has shown the outward evidence
only of derangement is healed. Indi-
gestion, nervousness.. impoverished
blood, liver complaint, all owe their
origin to a derangement of the nerve
centres. Thousands bear testimony,
that they have been cured of these
troubles, even when they have become,
so desperate as to bailie the skill of,
the most eminent physicians, because,
South American Nervine has gone to
headquarters and cured there.
The eyes of the world have not been
disappointed In the inquiry into the sue -
cess of South American •Nervine. Peo-
ple marvel, it is true, at Its wonderful
medical qualities, but they know be-
yond all question that it does every-
; thing that Is claimed for it. It stands
alone as tyre one great certain curium
remedy of the nineteenth oendury. Why,
should anyone suffer distress and sick-
ness while this remedy is practleallT,
at their hands ?

THE YOUNG DOCTOR.
Almost every family hes its old, trust-
ed physician.
All of theta depend on what he says.
They are billets when he pronounces
totem so. They have dyspepsia when be
says the word. They get consumption
at his bidding. They make their wills,
and name their pall -bearers, when he
says they bare got to shuffle off. That
is all very well.
Let the old family doctor flourish. He
has earned the right ta, and if now and
t11en he makes a mistake, and admin-
isters arsenic instead of Rochelle salts,
and outs off a leg or an arm when there
is no necessity for It, Im must not be
condemned, but we must respect him
for the. good be has done.
Young doctors are always coining to
town.

through his hair to give h'umself an in-
tellectual look,snips a leaf off your ger-
anium and smells rt, and inquires brisk-
ly,:
%Nat can we do for you to-
day ?"
You oegien to tell h,Lm how you are
and bow you were taken, but he sil-
ences you, and gives you the imP'ros-
cion that lie can diagnose your efIne
without knowing anything you can tell
He feels your pulse, and listens
to your Heart, end looks at your tongue,
and ask you if you wear liver -pads, and
vita year grandmother died of., and
trent he tells you what you may ex-
peot.
You aro to a clatigarnus, nay, critical
condition. It is lucky you sent for him
