 P We made several inquiries, but could not ascertain who she was or what had sbeceme of her. The bureau had been carried to,t the. auction room by an indi- vidual whom MT.

We saw no writing what ever. In the back of the under drawer iI we noticed that a small piece of pine had been inserted. It looked as if it had been to stop defect. Frying it with a knife it came out, when, to our astonish- ment, m erlt, we found several gold pieces to the value of about fifty dollars, besides with interest, made payable to Sarah was witnessed note and had been run ming about ten years, signed by a very wealthy man. ,.,...-f ..- ....... .. - "' Without mentioning to single indi, vidual what we had discovered, we i'm

 It was a pleasant situation, little from the road, while everything looked neat about the dwelling. As we drew 11r to the cottage, who should come to the door but the very woman we had so long been anxious to find. She recognized me at once.
