An Alabaster Box by Mary Wilkins Freeman

Tale of a box, which is the thread that holds a collection of short romantic and mystery tales together.
Miss Lydia Orr's generosity to the town of Brookville is seen with suspicion from nearly everybody in the town and they're trying to figure out her motive in pouring out her wealth upon the inhabitants of the small, sleepy town. Little do they know that it has a lot to do with the town's past.  And of course, the alabaster box figures prominently in this part of the tales.
