have to look sharp for opium, which paws
for smuggling, on account of a duty OF
100 per cent. The last steamer from Chi
ma brought over several hundred dollars
worth of opium, which it was intended
should pay no duty. 1t was found in a
heavy chest, most innocent looking.
whose thick sides were hollow and filled
with the drug. A consignment of Chi
nese pals was also found to be made of
opium with shell of wood forming the
outside of each. Several dozen pairs of
shoes gave up their contents, contained
in tin cases let into thick soles. A bun
die of feather busters held lot, and one
Mongolian was stripped of his high water
proof boots, to re veal his legs swaddled
in the precIo us drug.

nearer. The crisis was upon him. What
should he do? The box was under his chin

been holding ats pocket book in his hand du-

though in his deafness he did not know that
