me for her lover) will find the topaz; he is a dear
painstaking boy. I have never had such a lovely piece of jewellery in my
life and I am going to be married in it." (Photo of Miss Twitter on back

SEARCH FOR MISSING TOPAZ AT COCKLESEA.
Owing to the publicity given to his story by _The Daily Trail_ hundreds of
willing hands assisted Mr. Micklebrown in his search yesterday. Pickaxes,
shovels and wooden spades were being freely wielded on the cliff. Miss
Twitter writes to us: "Every moment I expect a telegram from Dinky that the
topaz is found. I can never be grateful enough to _The Daily Trail_ for the
interest it has taken in my brooch."
DRAMATIC SEQUEL TO SEARCH FOR COCKLESEA TOPAZ.
As a result of the wide circulation of _The Daily Trail_ the brooch picked
up by Mr. Micklebrown on the cliff on Bank Holiday has been claimed by Miss
Ivy Peckaby, of Wimbledon. Miss Peckaby identified the brooch from the
photograph which appeared in our issue of Friday. Conversing with our
representative, Miss Peckaby, a slim, golden-haired girl in hand-knitted
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.
