»» Uncle Philip died when Tom, the narrator, was 37 years old. His mother advised Tom not to expect anything from him. Uncle Philip was Tom's father's brother, an inventor and a mechanical engineer. He was a bachelor and lived a lonely life. He collected precious stones. He says Tom will have it as he is his only heir. He asks Tom to pay for his funeral and that the safe with the precious gems was only his possession. Uncle Philip died a week later and was handsomely buried. The day after, Tom opened his safe and found nothing but an iron box. He spent all he had for his Uncle's funeral and was poorer than before. He took the strange box to his lodgings and carefully kept in a closet. A doctor Schaff asked him to keep it aside and stop thinking or he would become mad. It was like a riddle. He was rich, holding the rubies, but too poor unable to use it. He moves to the suburbs, hides the box, changes his name and occupation. Now Tom makes a will leaving the precious gems to the Society for the Preservation of Human Vivisection.
