| That Glove laughs at bolts and bars
and keys" and obstacles generally was
| shown in the dramatic incident which
occurred recently on the transport Dix
when three days out from Seattle. It
seems Miss Grace Mckinley, niece of
President Mckinley, was married last
July to Capt. Grayson Heidi, of the
Army. Their marriage was the cul-
Inination of most desperate case of
love at first sight, the two having
met, loved and plighted their troth un-
der the witchery of a tropical moon in
the Philippines year or so ago. In
the midst of their honeymoon came
the cruel orders to the Captain to take
the first transport for the Philippines.
and in spite of all the brides desperate
appeals, which she made in every di-
rection. even to President Roosevelt
himself, she was denied the right to
accompany her husband. A reckless
determination took possession of Mrs.
Heidi. Unknown to her husband and
after having hidden him fearful fare
well. she hastily put on a suit of his
old regimentals. slowed away in their
capaciouS pockets sandwiches, hardtack
and a flask of water, and passing up
the gangway without molestation, con-
cealed herself in the dirty hold of the
transport. After three days out she
was discovered and dragged up on deck
nearer dead than alive. OF course, her
husband recognized her. and altho this
plucky evidence of her devotion must
have touched him. his position was not
exactly an enviabIe one. However, the
Captain and all hands made the best
of the situation. and Mrs Heidi was
made as comfortable sc possible. It
was "omewh2t difficult finding suitable
clothing for her, but she made out
somehow, and when she got to Homo
lulu was able to appear once more
clothed as the happy bride of an Amer
ican Army officer should be.

William Thaw. his mother. has secured
the services Of the celebrated California
lawyer. Michael Deimas. by the pay
ment of a retainer believed to be no
less than 100000. Thaw's lawyers will
try to save his life by the plea of justi-
ficatfon under the higher or unwritten
law. They find ground for hope of ac-
Guittal for him in the many celebrated
murder trials where this line of de-

The rumor that the Duchess of MarI-
borough was to have her divorce case
tried by the courts W New York to es-
cape the Inevitable publicity were the
case tried in England is entirely with,
out foundation. No verdict that she
might secure in America would be con-
sidered valid in England. Even If the
Duke came IN New York and establish
ed bona ffde legal residence the act
would be regarded by the English courts
as an ATTEMPT to escape from the pro-
visions of the English statutes, which
would be sufficient to annul any Amer.
lean decree. 1t is not yet a fixed fact
that divorce is contemplated by the
Duchess. If matters between them can
be satisfactorily arranged a separation
will probably be as far as the affair
will go.
