The explosion did not blow open the door,
but loosened it. and the man with the
dynamite then lighted another stick and
threw it into the car through q wide
crack that had been made. This explo-
sion blew a big hole in the side Of the

compelled the engineer and fireman to
get up into the ear with them. and a

All the time the bandits were operating

lee Strong. His infatuatioE for her WAS
such that he resigned from the army in
order 10 be in her society aud only con-
sideratiOn for him on account of his hon

martialed. While under orders to sail
for the Philippines he telepraphed from

have refused 10 accept it and would have
ordered a courtmartial We're it not that

were not overpleased with the attention.
Finally the pair under assumed names

While the wife of Lord Hope by thus
accompanying Strong has abandoned her
legal husband the latter, strangely, can
take no action to divorce her. The head
of the family is his brother, the Duke of

Hope. But the duke is opposed TO di-

abandoned husband is the legal successor
Of the present childless duke.
In case Lord Hope should succeed TO
the dukedom within the next few years
it is doubtful if the courts would issue
him a decree of divorce. According TO
numerous precedents they would hold
that he had waited too long,
