A New York compositor's daughter about to claim her inheritance in St Louis according to the conditions imposed by her eccentric aunt, is robbed of her ruby ring by a pickpocket on the train. The detective narrator finds the ring by coincidence during another train journey over a year later. Well-written if slight in substance. (PB)
