That 81, 900 Loss.

The Boston transcripts reporter hunted
up Mrs. Jones, the woman who it was
reported lost a bag containing $4,000, on her
way from Portland to Boston about a week
ago, The bag was suspended from strap over
the shoulder, and winter cloak thrown over
it. Mrs. Jones said the money and some dia-
monds were put in an old bag that had belonged
to the family of an old gentleman in Portland to
whom Mrs. Jones and her mother had been
kind in the past, The old gentleman is very
rich Portland man, and he was going to Florida
He gave the money and diamonds to Mrs.
Jones as return for kind services received.
Mrs. Jones thinks that the strap that held the
bag broke as it was not CUT and she after
wards found the strap buckle in the folds Of her
dress. AS the money weighed four pounds and
was in gold, it was strange she didn't miss the
