IDOL LOST IN LONDON lL ------ Loaned to' "Movie": Company Then _ Disappeared Unknown to the busy millions, a hunt for an important Chinese god has been proceedifig in London for two and a half months. The god dis- appeared on being left in an ignom- inious position on the parcel rack of a South-Western Railway carriage between Hampton Court and Water- loo. A reward of £2 was offered for the recovery of the idol, which was described as 'about eight inches high and valueless except to the owners," and on Saturday it was learned that it, had been returned to Shaftesbury avenué, says the London Standard. The god was originally the fetish of a body of devout Clinese, 'from whom it was looted during the Boxer from Brockville collegiate for the | rising. It was brought to England by a friend of Warren Bell, whom it 'inspired to write the story, 'The Third God." Next a film company arranged to produce the story in picture. They borrewed the original god from the author for the pur- pose, and all went well till half the film, iti which it figured largely, was completed. Then one evil day, the producer, taking the god from Hamp- toi Court, placed it-on the carriage rack and forget it.
