pocketbook, which contained her ticket and
all her money, was missing. She was quite
sure that it was in her pocket when she
went to her stateroom at night, but in the
morning the most minute search of the
room and of her clothing failed to bring it
to light a fellow passenger lent her sufli
cient money for her ticket to Philadelphia
and once ut home the loss of the pocketbook
quickly passed from her memory.
Two years afterward, when again in
Albany, she was summoned one day to the
drawing room to speak to an unknown
gentleman who chad something important
to communicates to her." The Something

pocketbook, which the gentleman had
