"Me can seizure" was the assurance
Of the faithful Sam.
The old firm of Macmillan g. Co. that
had been for SO many years WELL
known name in Shanghai and the
other ports had recently dissolved,
following the death Of the last Of the
Macmillan family. and the good will
OF the establishment, together with
the firms name and their Chinese
chop Of "Mei ang." or Beautiful
Wave" had been sold out to q Eura-
sian relative named Peasley and his
Portuguese friend Rodero. Being nat
urally most anxious to keep up the
trade Of the old house and to continue
the good will of the Chinese, they had
made very few changes in the native
STAFF. and so. as far as the general
public was concerned, the firm of
Mel Lang" was still doing business
at the old stand by the Australian
wharf. where they had been for so
many years and where every jim rIk-
sha puller and cargo coolie knew the
address. =
Messrs. Peasely and Rodero decided
to offer the customary reward for the
arrest Of the incendiary--not from
any very high motive, but largely to
keep themselves in good standing at
the Merchants Club ard with the for
eign community generally--sna 70

tive for such retaliation. Their eff
very little success. They could not
find that the firm had recently dis
missed any of their native employees,
nor that they had reduced their wages,
nor that they had inflicted any hard
and unjust rules upon them, nor that
any European connected with the es-
tablishment had i'll treated or abused
a native-any one of which actions
might have given rise to feeling of
bitterness or rcsentment-but they
found that, on the contrary, every
thing seemed to have been going
along in a most harmonious manner.
Last Of all they took up the question
of religion, including various native
customs and prejudices, against
which they knew the European was
apt to protest and stumble and so
start trouble and opposition, but even
here the firm seemed to have been
entirely innocent. They had not OBJ
jected to the burning Of incense and
the offering of idol money to the
wharf god, under due precautions;
they had not compelled any man to
work upon a native holiday; they had
granted the usual number Of absences
for grandparents funerals and other
ancestral ceremonies and had yielded
very generously to all the little ma
tive requests which the compradore
included under the general, all-em-
bracing term of Joss pidgin"-in fact,
they had got along together most sat
isfactorily and smoothly. AS the Sc
nior member Of the firm expressed it.,
"A little oil on the wheels doesn't cost
very much, and it makes all the ma
chinery go smoother"
well, SAM" asked the inspector Of
his head Chinese assistant (mistaking
the popular native name Of Life" for
the English abbreviation Of Samuel,
which most Europeans do), what
does your part of the force think put
the fellow or fellows up to 1t? What
grudge did they have against the
white man this time that led them to
try to get even with him by setting
his goodwin on fire?'

tive visitors sought out the person
of Sam, the detective, and put in a
claim for share Of the reward by
giving him what they considered a
very important clue. He listened care
fully to all that they had to say and
then reported it to his superior officer
Capt. Brownlow. The testimony was
to this effect, viz: They had seen
Nam Tuck. the night Waterman en-
ployed at the Australian wharf, just
to the north Of MacMillans, enter a
native shop on the Whang Poo road
on the evening Of July 16-the night
before the flre-and had watched him
purchase four long coils of powder
paper slow fuse, such as are used by
natives during the long summer nights
for lighting their pipes. To be sure,
he might have been perfectly innocent
in the purchase, but the date and the
hour and the exact number of the
fuses looked very suspicious, and so
the web of circumstantial evidence
began gradually to weave itself about
him and to point to him as having
concealed the rolls of slow burning
paper in the four different corners of
the goodwin on the day of the confla-
grafton. Brownlow reported the mat
ter to his chief. with the result that it
was decided to place the unsuspecting
Nam Tuck forthwith under arrest,
and to put him through an official
grilling before he had any chance to
confer with his friends or cronies. The
native officers found him at his home
early the following morning and he
was securely locked in a cell at head
quarters before breakfast.
When he was brought UP for the
preliminary investigation Inspector
Gubbins thought 1t would be well for
the British vice consul to attend and
to bring his official Interpreter with
him. (For although the consul was
a proficient Chinese scholar, he spoke
only the northern mandarin tongue Of
Peking and would have great difficulty
in understanding the local dialect Of
Ming Pc or Shanghai.) The interpre-
ter being away on a vacation, the con-
sui brought in his place Archdeacon
Virgins Of the English Church mis-
sion. who not only spoke the dialects
like 4 native, but who. from his long

North Portland is gaining strength
as a market for feeder stuff and the
movement of cattle of this class has
been very liberal recently and al, good

The call for feeder hogs. while not
so good at the moment, has been fair
for some time but just now the trade
is getting more pigs than it needs and
low prices are therefore quoted TO dis
courage shipments at the moment.
