John C.

When the party revumed its retreat Mrs. Moss exain'ticd the content* of the box, tud was dazzled by the brilliance which met her gaze. For several weekn t-he kept her irist a prof >uud socret, and guarded it from hundreds of uieq_who were searching the couutryfor remnant* of the robbed treasure train. One night a horsenivn rode up to her residence.— Alighting, he called Mrs Mo«s aside, and, in whispeml words, told her ho was the accredited agent of the person* who had left the jewelry box iu her pos session, and that he had been instructed to call for it. Cwinpfe'e'y deceived by the man's assurance and appearance of honesty, she placed the box iu hi*hand*, to see Irm disappear in the datknees, and to rcalizi the next day that Abe had b<-eu cruelly imposed upon. She died a month later. The fact that the jewels just found correspond so well wiih the Contents of tho mysterious box, lends color to the supposition that they are the same.
