There was a great hubbub. Even the officers of the law scoffed at the accusation of the robbed man. Then investigation brought out a new cir- cumstance. The door connecting the room of Robert and that occupied by th> man who had been robbed was found unlocked. “The key has been always in the door on my side,” explained Robert, “but I have never turned it.” It was strange, unheard of, but the stranger insisted on his identification of Robert. The latter had two hours time he could not account for in any reasonable way. He was arrested. His good character saved him, but there was now a vague insidious stain upon ft.

Then Robert seriously contemplated his fm- mediate future. He decided to aban- don his plans of practising law in the crowded expensive city where capital and influence were absolutely requi site to success. It was a step the ambitious young fellow never regretted, for labor and love soon became allied. Robert es- tablished himself in the thriving coun- ty seat of Tipton. He found comfort- able quarters at the one hotel the place afforded. Some practise same to him. He made some speeches dur ing a political campaign, because a general favorite, and, best of all, met and loved Ada Mills, the favorite daughter of wealthy Judge Mills, No word had come from Ernest Earle and Robert was glad he had not found him out, Robert was gaining ground fast and securely.
