Tuesday There is mystery connected with

OF Police and received a reward of $500. The
Jewel is-valued at 5000, and is an inch and

1t cannot be seen how such piece of jewelry
could be lost on the ballroom floor, or even on
the street. without being seen, and why 1t was
not returned before is not known, as reward
was offered the day after IL was lost, and Mrs.
Fish offered reward on the night Of the ball as
soon the jewel missed. The man who re-
turned the heart says that he found ii in Belle
