A Traitor on the Staff (1911)

Lieut. Gorman was passionately fond of Alice Rambeau, the daughter of his general. Walter Cranston, however, the handsome young subaltern of the same regiment, had already won that deep favor in the eyes of the sweet-faced Alice. It came about that the general had decided to promote Cranston for bravery on the field of battle. Gorman was against this. Shortly after this, while the general and daughter were in deep conversation with Cranston, Gorman managed to secrete a valuable document in the hat-band of his rival. This document was missed shortly after, and the general instituted a rigorous search, but to no avail. Then it was that Lieut. Gorman threw suspicion on young Cranston, and when the subaltern appeared, Gorman knocked off his hat and thus disclosed the missing paper. But Alice had been in a position to observe the actions of Gorman. Alice then and there denounced Gorman, and he, having been taken to task by the general, and latterly by Alice herself, acknowledged his guilt and was led away in disgrace, while the young lieutenant, restored to place and honor, found a recompense in the warm embrace of the woman he loved.
