She declined, to undertake the errand unless told what was in the box. A handkerchief was thereupon thrust over her mouth, rendering her insensible,' and when she .came to herself the man and woman were gone. The police Have been making enquiries, but have not as yet succeeded in getting any trace of the. parties said to be concerned.
