"But who. put me there2" she in

He looked al her %curiously. "Think

FOURTEENTH EPISODE
The Flag DespOiIerI

with his arm In a sling, Maj. Thorn
ton Brent sat in n private court Of in
uulry In the general session chamber
of the general army staff ut Wash
ingtOn.
Practically every available member
of the staff was present, together with
witnesses, voluntary and otherwise,
bent upon seeing justice done the ac-
cused officer. One of these was Miss
Pearl Dare, the %coloneIs daughter. An
other was the colonel, himself. Both
came prepared to face any shock, yet
In deep sympathy with the man.
Among the involuntary witnesses
was Il. o. Adams, the stranger from
Monks Corner, Neb., orderly to Colo
mel Dare, sometime hero, sometime un-
der dire suspicion, but now openly
acknowledged by Pearl Dare to be her
hance, much to the amaZement Of So
cial Washington.
Another involuntary, though perhaps
Of all the most interested, witness was
Miss Bertha Bonn, Pearl Dare's new
friend and house guest.
The charge against Brent was, curl
ously enough, the same under which
Capt. Ralph Payne, n brother officer,
and Miss Dare's former sweetheart,
had been convicted and sentenced to
life Imprisonment In a federal peni-
tentlary, although he had been saved
the latter disgrace by an untimely end
In a railroad wreck.
Il vvag fraoupuuhIa noncUfropv
But while in the case of Payne that
officer was found guilty Of dlsposing
Of an army secret-the canal defense
plans-to an enemy, in Brent's case
the charge wus made that he was the
personal representative Of the enemy,
that he was the Silent Menace so-called
in government circles.
On the night Adams aud Pearl Dare
herolcally rlsked their lives In order
to discover the location of mines laid
In the canal by the Silent Menace-and
succeeded-Pearl, In rescuing the or
derby from certain death due to her
own impetuosity, shot the Silent Men
ace, w%oundlng and breaking his arm.
That same night Major Brent turned
up at the commandments quarters at
the canal, In dripping wet garments,
with q broken arm.
Immediately suspicion centered, and
Tor the very first time, IN him.
And so the inquiry started.
After the usual p~reliminaries the
first person called to the stand was
Colonel Dare who upon being sworn
and identified, was questioned closely
IN several points, the judge advocate
general OF the army presiding.
"How long have you known the de

What's your n-next question, girl?"
She looked at him in amusement.
"Is your stammer a natural one3"
"No," was his laconic response.
"Then for goodness sake stop itl'
she exclaimed, v~exatiously. "YOu are
not an ignorant man, are YOUR

"You are college bred, aren't your"

"WhO is Sonora Vendre and what
is your relationship there2 Is your
real name Senior Vendre?"
This question took him back to the
incidents on the Granadian frontier
and a soft light came into his eyes.
"Senora Vendre is a woman with a
heart to whom 1 told my life story.
She agreed to help me. Her two o n

list abroad. 1 merely posed in the
place of one in order to obtain admls-
sion to the secret council Of the For

in an effort to obtain possession Of the
canal defense plans"
She looked up quickly. "ThOse
p%lans2. Were you really responsible
for them-and the wafers?"

"But you are not a barber, or a tele-
graph operator, or a waiter In a res

things you have pretended to be; are

"Or a cowboy2"

Do you come from Monks Corner,
Neb.T She placed her hand on his
shoulder looking earnestly into his
eyes. 'WhO is the Silent Menace?
1 am positive that you know"
Adams was about to answer these
leading questions, when for the FIRST
time they observed a large and turbu-
lent crowd of citizens and soldiers
collecting with loud outcries and Oaths.
All stood with faces toward the front
peak of the building. Pearl and Adams
ran down the steps to see what the
excitement was about.
They took one look. A man was
climbing up the flag pole, one hand
oUtstretched toward the emblem lut-
tering In the evening breeze. His face
was covered with a thick black muf-
fer.
"The Silent Menace!" fell from the
lips Of both Pearl and Adams.
They few into the building, mount
ed to the roof and raced across the In
%tervening space, followed by a number
of uniformed attendants.
"DropI" cried Adams, dwelling his
revolver at the man on the pole. And
then they saw that the outstretched
hand which had grasped the flag In a
frantic effort to tear and destroy It
belonged to a broken arm carried In
a sling.
Bullets from below whizzed around
the man on the pole. The Silent Mem
ace lost his hold and tumbled In a heap
on the roof, dragging the flag with
him.
"The flag must pay /" ne snarled like
a mailman al Adams and Pearl
pOunced upon him and started to tear
on his mask. 'The upstart flag"
