While the officer is away Raj, a villainous native chief who has long coveted Tennant's wife, makes an attack on the post. Mrs. Tennant keeps a diary of the siege. Upon Tennant's return he finds his wife, the faithful old sergeant and several of his soldiers dead. The last entry in Mrs. Tennant's diary seems to indicate that she has killed herself rather than be dishonored, but no powder marks are found upon her body. From the fact that no bullets in Mrs. Tennant's revolver are exploded the physician arrives at the real solution and concludes that the old sergeant had determined to save her from a fate worse than death. The physician keeps his discovery to himself and the young officer's wife is duly buried with all the honors due a heroine. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
