All three succeed, finally, in proving their innocence, much to the discomfiture of the village chief.

It is to the problem play that Echegaray has given his greatest attention, and the fullest measure of his success in this direction may be seen in the piece which Mr. Faversham now offers in a form somewhat different from that in which Mr. Blair presented it in Boston, 1899, but sufficiently faithful to the original.
