TALE OF A CHEQUE,

SMALL BOY TAKES HOME A WALLET,

TOO MUCH FOR FATHER'S HONESTY.

A queer story of a lost wallet has come to light through the in- vestigations of the B.M.C. Police, says the Peking and Tientsin Times,

It appears that recently a for- eign gentleman lost, or had stolen from him, in the vicinity of the Tientsin East Railway Station, `a black leather wallet containing a cheque on the Hong Kong "add Shanghai Bank at Tientsin for 8355, 8200 in notes, a" passport, and some cards.".

Two days later the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank informed the B.M.C. Police that they had recviv- ed information that a cheque for $338 had been lost and had beon requested to stop payment if it was tendered. That afternoon at half. past two this cheque was presented for payment by the messenger of a

Apparently the lost wallet was picked up on a heap of tin filings by a small Chinese boy of eight. years of age who was prowling. about the neighbourhood of the Station. On looking inside the s. boy found only the passport and the cheque for $355. The $200 in notes was no longer there. The boy took the wallet home to his father. a merchant who lives in the French Concession, and this man, evident- ly thinking he had a windfall for the New Year, gave the cheque to a butcher in payment of his meat bill.

The butcher handed the cheque to a Chinese Bank who sent a mes- senger with it to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank to collect the

money.

The father of the small boy on being arrested was found to be in possession of the wallet, now con- taining only the passport, and he has been sent to the yamen on a charge of tendering a choque know- ing full well that it had been stolen. 5.

There is trace of the 800. It is surmised that the pocket of the owner of the wallet was picked at- the station and that the pickpocket abstracted the 8000 and throw the wallet with the cheque and pasaport, which he knew were not likely to be of uec to him, on the rubbish heap.
