Hard days have fallen Duck, the smooth-faced. hard-eyed. handsome young Chinaman credited with promoting the bloody feud in Chinatown between the Hip Sing Tong and the On Leong Tong. Nut only 1s Mock Duck locked up tn the Tombs, but he has lost his pretty wife, Lato upon Mock Yow, whom he brought to New York from China three years ago. Tale Yow was found In a house in Federal street, Providence, to-day by three of Muck Duck's relatives from this city, with .he ald of Providence detectives. Sle was with a bold, bad Chinese gambler, known in Chinatown as Ching Gow. He gave the name of Charlie Sing in Providence, and intro- duced Lule Yow as his wife, Mock Duck's cousins say his wife wae abducted last Monday by Ching Gow, who they say is a relative of Hu! Gow, head of the Hip Sing Tong. The Gows assert that Lule Yow tired of Mock Duck's frequent sojournings in Jail and ran away with Ching Gow of her own free will. Mock Duck refuses to talk, but people who imagine that a Ohina- man never gets mad ought to eee him when the absence of his wife is men- toned, Pretty in Chinese Way.

Up to the recent interment of . the hatchet in Chinatown, following the interment of several dead members of the On Leong Tong, Mock Duck was the active commander of the Hip Sing Tong.

Accounts differ as to how Lule Yow felt about the incarceration of her hus- Filed with Ching Gow. Mock Duck's relatives say that she gvieved night and day and burned bales of prayers and offerings before her pri- yate joss. But the enemies of Mock Duck say she enjoyed herself in the custody of Ching Gow, whose skill in fan-tan, pi-gow and rolling a pill of opium makes him at once the fear and admiration of the whole quarter, On.
