A New York Adventure,

In one of the most splendid houses in
Fifth Avenue, New York, lives lady of
great wealth and expensive tastes, who is
noted for the splendor of her diamonds. Per-
haps half million dollars invested in these
stones, was kept in safe in her dressing
room, and the key of the safe was locked in a
6ox IN private drawer. On coming up from
dinner one day, she found the key on her
dressing bureau, and valuable diamonds in
Z old fashioned settings, which were heir looms,
had been stolen. On applying to Mr.. Tiffany
the ieweller, for advice, he recommended her
to advertise for the lost diamonds, offering
just as large reward as she felt disposed TO
give, and promising no questions should be
asked. The next morning note was slipped
under the hall door, saying the jewels would
be delivered in the lady's own house at such
an hour in the afternoon, in the presence of
herself and her husband only. The reward
offered, by the way, was 5000. The lady
sent for Mr.. Tiffany's head setter of diamonds
to be on hand to inspect the stones, lest they
should prove limitations. The hour passed,
and the whole evening, but no jewels appear
ed. The next morning another note was slid
under the door, saying that it was useless for
the lady to have spectators concealed IN the
back parlour, as she had on the previous day,
or to send for Judge of diamonds; the
writer was agentleman, and would return
q the real stones. He next appointed place
OF meeting on vacant lot near the Central
