oUEREc BRIDGE DISASTER
DUE TO DYNAMITiNG

Montreal. Feb. 27-That the Quebec
bridge disaster which killed seventy
four men and caused a loss of millions
of dollars was due to an explosion or
dynamite placed there by agents Of
disaffected bridgeworlxers is the theory
on which a number OF detectives are
making exhaustive investigation here.
The members of the royal commission
which investigated the calamity never
dreamed of the possibility of any
human being desiring or attempting
to wreck the bridge and government
officials even now viii not admit that
they have any grounds for suspicion

longest cantilever span in the world.
was being erected by the Phoenix
Bridge Company of Phoenixville. Pa,
or whose work in different parts of

alleged Mcnamara atrocities were
committed.
A majority OF the workers on the
bridge came from Pennsylvania.
About August 1, 1907, there was a
strike of bridgeworkers and work was
practically at standstill. Only a part
of the regular force was at work on
August 81 when the bridge fell. killing
forty Indians. nineteen Canadians and
fifteen Americans. The Americans and
Canadians were foremen and all non

CHAPTER XVII.
The Queens Rangers.

A bullet had struck the hand rail,
shattering one Of the supports, and the
broad steps were SCARED and splin-
tered. The man lay face upward, his
feet inside the hallway, one side OF
his head crushed in. He was roughly
dressed in woolen shirt and patched
smallclothes, and wore gold hoops in
his ears, his complexion dark enough
for a mulatto, with hands scared and
twisted. Surely the fellow was no
soldier; he appeared more to me like
one who had followed the sea.
stepped over his body, and glanced the
length Of the hall. The chandelier was
shattered, the glass cleaning under
foot, the stair rail broken into a jagged
splinter, and a second man, shot
through the eye, rested half upright
propped against the lower step. He
was a sandy-bearded fellow, no better
dressed than the one without, but with
a belt about him, containing pistol
and knife. His yellow teeth protIud-
ing gave his CHASTITY features a fiend-
ish look. Beyond him a pair Of legs
stuck out from behind the staircase,
clad in long cavalry boots, and above
these, barely showing, the green cloth

had not gone when this attack was

bonds alone would be guilty.
! stepped across the pile Of things
to the window, glancing out at the
still smouldering ruins Of the stable.
Whatever had occurred, neither the
lady nor Peter remained about the
house. OF this I was satisfied, yet
with the realization there came sud
den comprehension Of my own help
Iessness to be of any aid.
From the window where / stood not
a house was visible. Just beyond the
orchard the roads forked, well-tray-
eled branch circling to the left, and
disappearing over the edge Of a hill.

my capture.
1 stood staring down at him, and
about me into the dismantled room,
endeavoring to clear my brain and
figure all this out. 1t was not so diff
cult to conceive what had occurred,
every bit Of evidence pointing to
single conclusion. Grant had searched
the house for Eric, and discovered no
signs of his presence; whatever had
subsequently happened between the
girl and himself, she had not felt jus
titled in releasing me while he and
his men remained. They must have
departed soon after dark, well pro
vlsioned, upon their long march toward

the Delaware, leaving Elmhurst unoc-
cupied except for it's mistress and her
servants. The fact that neither the
lady nor Peter had opened the en-
trance to the secret staircase would
seem to show that the attack on the
house must have followed swiftly. 1t
had been a surprise, giving those
within no chance to seek for refuge.
There had been a struggle at the front
door; some of the assailants had
achieved entrance through the win
dow, and that had practically ended
the affair.
But what had become Of Peter? OF
the girl? Who composed the attack
ing party? The Indian had been de-
spatched to Valley Forge with my
memoranda; probably Peter, the Irish
man, and a negro or two were alone
left to defend the house. As to the
identity of the marauders, had small
doubt; their handiwork was too plain
ly revealed, and those two dead men
remained as evidence. Rough as were
British and Hessian foragers, they
were seldom guilty Of such wanton de-
struction as this. Besides this was
the home of prominent loyalist, pro-
tected from despoliation by high au-
thority. The hellish work must have
been accomplished by one or more
bands of those Pine Robbers" who in
Tested Monmouth county, Infamous
devils, hiding in caves among sand
bills, and coming forth to plunder and
rob. Pretending to be Tories, their
only purpose of organization was pill
Iage. Even in the army the names
of their more prominent leaders were
known, such as Red Fagin, Debow,
West and Carter, and many a tale of
horror regarding their depredations
had heard told around the campfire.
These came back to memory as
gazed about those lower rooms, dread
ing my next discovery, half crazed to
think that Claire Mortimer might be
helpless in their ruthless grasp. Bet
ter death a thousand times than such
