cerise jumper with cream collar and cuffs, said, "I jumped for joy when I
recognised my darling brooch on your picture page. I must have lost it at
Cocklesea on Bank Holiday, but I didn't miss it until two Sundays
afterwards. I shall never forget what I owe to _The Daily Trail_."

Questioned as to the missing topaz Miss Peckaby sighed. "It has always been
missing," she said. "You see, Clarence" (Miss Peckaby's affianced husband)
"bought the brooch second-hand; he is going to have another topaz put in
when he can afford it; but topazes are so dreadfully dear." (Photo of Miss
Peckaby recognising her brooch on the back page of _The Daily Trail_.)

LAST CHAPTER IN COCKLESEA ROMANCE.

FREE GIFT OF A TOPAZ BY _THE DAILY TRAIL_.

Yesterday Miss Ivy Peckaby was the happy recipient of a topaz at the hands
of a representative of _The Daily Trail_. The stone, which is of
magnificent colour and quality, is the free gift of _The Daily Trail_. _The
Daily Trail_ is also defraying the entire cost of setting the gem in Miss
Peckaby's brooch. Photo on back page of Miss Peckaby acknowledging _The
Daily Trail's_ free gift of a topaz. Inset: The topaz.)

I have heard nothing further from Micklebrown.
