A French American named Flavot,
whom Gard had met through Peter
son, had been the Intermediary. The
captain of IA tramp copra trader was

nothing was to he done Immediately

Presently a large negro wearing n
lircn ulster would come aboard under
tho pretcxt of doing some sort of work
about the ship. This negro was to he
shown the opium. He would carry
it ont II few boxes nj n time.
Gard cabled his home Office the de-
tails Of this deal in opium introduc-
tion, He advised that nothing be
done until the negro wont aboard,
actually carried out the stuff and was
followed to his principal. There was
a slip in Philadelphia, however, the
captain got suspicious ana the opium
was thrown into the river,
Two months passed IN this way.
All the time Gard and Peterson were
becoming more intimate. one day
the supposed retired glass manufac-

that Cards morals were nome to puri-

Peterson evidently thought this
matter over thoroughly before acting.
for It was three days before he
touched on the subject. Then he said:

He was to be asked To guarantee the

When Ferren was told of the pro-
