them? I decided that I had.
The first case I opened contained, so

of finery from another century, coral
earrings that Mrs. \<»aston may have
worn when she was a little.glrl, combs
of Jet, amber beads, quaint hoop ear
rings and a ring or two, merely the
trinkets of a vain old woman, treas
ured from the time when the money
to buy them was scarce. There was
nothing in the lot that any self-re
specting thief would take, precious as
they may- have been to their owner.

to the safe and opened the other.

But wait! Perhaps the safe held

I had not noticed it anywhere In my

I made another tour looking for It.
More than likely It had been hunted

But where? At last I located It. be
