Its sharp, almost strident note acted like an electric discharge upon the court but no member of the assembly was more deeply stricken than Capt. Tremayne. - In his excitement he turned, to see Miss.

"Oh, God" gasped Lady O'Moy, won- dering through her anguish how Syl- via could have become possessed of her secret -- "Miss Armytage—I implore yen!' cried Tremayne. And then the heavy voice of C'Moy crashed in: "Let her speak. Let us have the truth—the truth!" "And you shall have it," answered Miss Armytage. "Capt. Tremayne keeps silent to shield a woman—his mistress. Capt. Tremayne spent that half-hour at Monsanto in her room." And then the voice of O'Moy on the note of terrible- triumph sounded again.

He hesitated to step from the solid ground of rea- son on to the uncertain bogland of mendacity. "There was," he resumed slowly, "a certain matter connected with the com- nxassary-genera's department which was of the greatest urgency. It was connected -with some tents for Gen. Picton's division at Celerico. It oc- curred to ire that night that it would be better dealt with at once, so that the documents relating to it could go forward early an Monday morning to the commissary-generaL Accordingly, I returned to Monsanto, entered the official quarters, and was engaged upon that task when a cry from the garden reached my ears and I ran out at once to see what night have occa- sioned it. I found Count Sainoval either just dead or just dying, and I had scarcely made the discovery when Mullins, the butler, came out of the residential 'wing, as he`testified. That, sirs, is all that I know of the death of Count Samoval," he ended and re- sumed his seat. There was a silence for a moment, broken only by,,the rustle of the presi- dent's notes as lie briefly looked them over as a preliminary to adressing the court. And then suddeely, grating harshly upon that silence, came the voice of O'Moy, CHAPTER XXV. HE SHIELDS A. WOMAN, Sir Treence sat, down amid a rus- tling stir that ran through the court, but was instantly summoned to his feet again by the president. "A moment, Sir Terence. The pris- oner will no doubt desire to question you on that statement." And he looked with serious eyes dt Capt. Tremayne. I have no questions for Sir Ter- ence, sir," was his answer. Indeed, what question could he have asked? The falsehoods he had uttered had woven themselves into a rope about his neck, and he stood before his brother officers now in an agony of shame, a roan discredited, as he be- lieved. "Very well, sir." The president paused -and then •added: "The court will be glad to hear you in answer to the further evidence adduced to refute your statement in your own de- fence:" "I have nothing further to say, sir," was Trem!ayne's answer. And now Col. Fletcher leaned for- ward to exhort him.. "Capt. TiL- rnayne," he said, "let me beg you to realize the serious position in which you are placed." "I assure you, sir,. that 1 realize it fully." "Might I suggest, Sir Henry, that "Do you realize that the statements before we hear you three of the wit you haveiemade to account for your • nesses be recalled?

And then, when all seemed lost a woman's voice rang out at last: ' Flynn, Privates Bates and Mullins."' The president looked round in sur- prise as he became conscious of Sir Terence's relentless hostility to the ac- cused. However, the request was in order, and the president gave way.

In many instances the presence of this disease was unknown to the parents or child affected: Rheu- matism in some of its forms, St. Vitus' Dance, diphtheria or some other infec- tion was usually found to be the cause.
