"_A jewel of far greater value_"
Grace never got back her jewels. The wily Johnson was not caught, though
Fellows turned state's evidence and did all he could to have the
professional netted in the same manner as himself. But she did not
suffer from this loss. When Mr. Stoughton learned the full particulars
of this daring robbery, he made good to her the value of those jewels,
and the prosperity of this young couple was secured. He was even present
at the wedding. Grace wore her mother's bracelet, but on her breast was
a jewel of far greater value. On its back was engraved,
To brave G. L.
From her grateful friend, T. S.
