 tNo, no, he is a traitor! Away with him!'' cried one and another.
 Gentlemen, if I ever escape from this predicament," answered de Vitre boldly, "rest assured that you shall answer to me for your words and ac- tions!''
 ''This is idle talk, monsieur" said the governor severely; "as the com mandant of the garrison shall order admissions, which you have failed to explain to our satisfaction, If there is no one here who will protest, or say a word in your defence"
 'I will do that, Monsieur le Cheya- lfer!" clear voice cried out from the other end of the hall, as Anne de Rohan, followed by Josette, entered the door and advanced before the cheva- Her.
 ''Mademoiselle de Rohan!" exclaimed the governor in great surprise, rising to his feet the while, and lowing pro- foundly before her, movement which of course, was emulated by all the officers. Here is no place for ladies'"
 ''I am witness in the case, Monsieur de Ramesay. Am in time to save the life and honor of brave man?''
 Time serves you, mademoiselle, but otherwise your effort is impossible. Monsieur de Vitre was seen this morn ing in the English ranks in their uni form-indeed he has it on now. He bore arms against us in the field. He admits it. He is believed to have acted as pilot for the English ships"
 Iris false, sir!'' interrupted the girl.
 Thank God for that word, mademoi- selle!" cried de vitre. eff you believe in me can face the rest of the world Undaunted.''
 Silence, Monsieur de vitre!-Why say you this, mademoiselle? asked the governor.
 Because there is an English officer wounded and prisoner in my house, who has learned by chance of Mon sieur de Vitre's predicament and who VOWS that he is innocent; that he did not pilot the ships; that he refused to do so even at the peril of his life, and that he had been held a close prisoner on the English ships since his cap- ture.
 ''Dr. Arnoux dressed the young Eng lishman's wounds. He is a captain in the English navy. When he recovered consciousness I mentioned Monsieur de Vitre's predicament, and he insisted that must come to tell you this story, and if you doubted it Twas to ask you to send an officer to question him.

 we don't accept the word of man accused of treachery, sir. Although I have no doubt. you were on the rail, as you say, yet [ have also no doubt but that the presence of the rope proved efficacious."
 @Mon Dieu, what an infamous charge!"- cried de Vitre, white with rage and passion at this insult, striy- ing to break away from his guards
 The governor watched him coo11y until he ceased to struggle, then non- chalantly taking pinch of snuff:
 ''Be calm, monsieur '' he added fI might have taken your word, but there is another circumstance which must be explained, and which makes 1t dif1- cult to credit your story, The dress you wear-it is. an English coat
