The Daily News gave the explana-
ton of the second, when it announced
the disappearance of young Mr.. Low
der, and confidential interview
with Sir Arthur in his private Office
revealed the first. when he confessed
to the great detective that serious
thefts of the most valuable opium
Cor golden earthD had recently
taken place from the customs pier
in the most unaccountable manner.
Now what possible connection could
there be between the two? Only
this. viz: that some desperate and
skillful thieves, having succeeded in
abstracting the opium from the store
room on the pier and fearing detec-
tion. had deliberately kidnapped the
customs officer whose duty it was
to guard it. Such was the inevitable
conclusion to which the inspector OF
police had come when the facts were
made known to him.
On the other hand, there were three
things against this: First. MIRO Low
der was not one of the guards on the
pier and had nothing to do with protect
ing the opium except as the shipping
papers, etc, passed through his hands

Probably not, had they been Euro

these circumstances most conclusively
show them to have been-that is ex-
actly what they would have done.

But the letter Is written in the

Wang Foo hesitated for a moment
or two and then replied: "Oh! That
is only skillful deception, intended
to fr.ghten you and make you think
it was all planned out beforehand
Veil, what is your conclusion as
far as you have gone"
Il am only willing to say this at
present. Sir Arthur. and l do not
wish to have it go beyond the privacy
or this office. ] believe that there has
been row among thieves as they
say. ana that a fight has taken place
over the division of the spoils. The
disappointed parties are determined
to expose their RIVALS to you and the
authorities, but instead of doing it
directly, as Europeans would do. they
are going about it in this rounda bout
manner. Now, hearing Of the disap D.
pearance OF a customs employe, they
are trying to make you believe that
they kidnapped him in revenge, and

The thinking cap" which Wang
Foo put on that same evening would
hardly have been recognized by the
commissioner-or. indeed, by any OF
his friends-for it was a complete and
perfect disguise. He had entered his
house as Chinese gentleman and he
had emerged later on as an ordinary
jin-rickshaw coolie, having hired the
! outfit and the vehicle for double the
entire evenings fare. He turned down
the broad Nanking road and. passing
slowly along the Bund. reached al

that ere either of them realized it
their ponies had wandered quite away
from the scent and they found them
selves suddenly at the entrance of a
little village where a funeral pro-
cession with gongs and f1recrackers
was just passing out. The noise and
racket startled the ponies and fright
ened them so that the riders were
utterly unable to control them and
they bolted in opposite directions.
