One day, a few months back, Bernice Baumgartner of Milford, who is a deputy in the county treasurer's office, discovered that a 1-1/2-carat sapphire was missing from her ring. A thorough search of every place she'd been that day, and some she hadn't been at all, turned up nothing. Eventually, Bernice became resigned to the loss of the jewel. Weeks later, she opened a certain record book to make a tax check. Lo and behold, there was the sapphire between the pages.
