ROBERT RvERsLEY

ne euu nAu GOMEZ.
There could be no doubt of it, either in
the public mind or in, the private actors in
the great drama which had Just been en-,
acted in the courtroom of the prisol-hall
in Paterson. As certain as that Robert
Parton had been proven innocen', as GER
tain as Edwin Amory had been unmasked,
80 surely was the end attained.
James Mayhem, the eX-tramp. the felon
and the friend to Robert Parton. had full

Amory in his true colors.

dIcated, but his true identity had been
proven. To Mr.. Tremayue his true per
sonahty was received gladly. While he
sas disappointed IN Edwin Am"ry, he WAS
not sorry t. welcome this son Of ms Old,
I'D friend. He compelled Robert and
Mayhem to accompany HIM to the villa,
aud there IN his private library he had
dinner served, and then all that had been
done, was again rocapitulatcd and re
counted.
Mayhem retraced his past coarse step by
step. He showed how he hal become sus-
picious Of K rbert's true identity by exam
lning the papers he had found IN the va
ter, and hos he hli discovered Amory
afterwards tracing oct his clue. and As has
heretofore been shown, obtaining feloni-
ously possession Of the private papers Of
AmOry.

And that is all III
That is all
We will not attempt to detail the meet
ing between Ethel Tremayne and Robert
Eversley, as he was now called. The low
ers were happy, and justly 81, for they
had been reunited. and had passed out of
the dark shadow into the full light Of
love.
The ex- tramp, James Mayhem, gave no
further attention to Amory. He took up
quarters at the village inn, while R ebert
Sas prevailed upon u remain at the villa,
Mayhem desiring 10 do so, as he preferred
staying in the village.
That afternoon there was a consultation
between Robert and Mr.. Tremayne, and
the following morning there appeared upon

And SO the wOrkingmen hal carried
their point through the influence Of Robert
Eversley and the unmasking OF Edwin
Amory.
