But Frank Mansfield stands to-day rich, happy and prosperous, his name justified before the world.
The officers of the Webster bank now understand his innocence, and would be only too glad to receive him again into their employ.
But Frank has no need for further toil.
From beneath the ruins of the Three Oaks there came forth a golden treasure which has placed him beyond all fear of want.
For a round half million will do that and leave some to spare, even in these expensive days, and such proved to be the value of the gold and gems buried by that strange old man, Jeremiah Mansfield, in the cellar of the great house where for so many years he dwelt alone.
During the search which took place at the ruins, both Detective Hook and Frank's new-found cousin, Jerry Buck, whose true name proved to be Dupont Tisdale, assisted.
By Jerry the presence of Mrs. Mansfield at the Three Oaks was made perfectly plain.
Familiar with the house and its secret passages for years, she had, assisted by the boy, played the ghost most successfully, gliding in and out of the chamber of its former owner by means of a secret panel set in the wall, while the light—nothing more than the usual stage fire—was used to add effect to the scene at the suggestion of Jerry himself.
