HOLT SOUGHT TO
 BLOW UP LINERS
DYNAMITE PLACED ON STEAM FRS SAxONIA AND PHlLADEL-
 PHlA BEFORE SAILING.
photographed.

New York. = The dead hand of Frank Holt, bomb-maker, would-be as sassin and alleged wife murderer reached out over the Atlantic and menaced two transatlantic liners with nearly 1000 women, men and children abroad.
 Somewhere on the ocean Holt wrote his wife, the liner Saxonia or the Philadelphia-he was not sure which would be destroyed. A dynamite bomb containing 30 pounds of explosive which Holt is known to have re- ceived and which has not been ac- counted for is believed by the polio ; to be the means Holt had chosen, to destroy the ship.
 While Holt lay a suicide in his cell at Mineola, L. l., where he was taken after his attempt to assassinate J. r. Morgan, the wireless cracked a warn ing over the Atlantic telling of his threat to blow up ship; and the mys- tery of his life was cleared away with his positive identification as Erich Muenter, the alleged wife mur- derer who fled from Harvard Univer- sity in 1906.
 Nothing more dramatic in the last few crowded days of Holts life has come to light than the warning Of destruction that was uncovered after his death His confession that he placed the bomb which damaged the capitol at Washington, his attempted assassination of MT. Morgan. the grow ing belief that he was Erich Muenter eliminating in his positive identifica- tion-in death-as Muenter and his sensational suicide by leaping 20 feet from the top of his cell to the floor, formed a series of events 10 which the threatened destruction of the Philadelphia or the Saxonia fitted as a startling climax.
 The powerful wireless stations of the Navy Department were enlisted in the effort to prevent the threatened disaster at sea In answer to the from the captain of the Philadelphia which said everything aboard had been identified and that all was well. The Saxonia also found no evidence of 2 bomb aboard.
 The police learned that Holt had bought 100 Illuminating caps, 100 feet of fuse. 100 electrical explosive caps and 200 sticks of dynamite from a To- cal powder company. This order was delivered to Holt at Central Park, Long Island, on June 29.

It would have been simple to have explained to the colonel, but Sabron, reticent and reserved, did not choose to do so. He made very insufficient excuse and the colonel, as well as the marquise, thought i'll of him. He learned later, with chagrin, that his friends were gone from the Midi. Rooted to the spot himself by his du- ties, he could not follow them.

CHAPTER V.
The Golden Autumn.

Sabron longed for a change with au- tumn, when the falling leaves made the roads golden roundabout the Cha teau dEsclignac He thought he would like to go away. He rode his horse one day up to the property of the hard-hearted unforgiving lady and, finding the gate open, rode through the grounds up to the terrace. Seeing no one, he sat in his saddle looking over the golden country to the Rhone and the castle of the good King Rene, where the autumn mists were like ban ners floating from towers.
 There was a solitary beauty around the lovely place that spoke to the young officer with a sweet melancholy. He fancied that Miss Redmond must often have looked out from one of the windows, and he wondered which one. The terrace was deserted and leaves from the vines strewed it with red and golden specters. Pitchoune raced after them, for the wind started them flying and he rolled his tawny little body over and over in the rustling leaves. Then rabbit, which before the ar rival of Sabron had been sitting com fortably on the terrace stones, scut- tied away like mad, and Pitchoune, somewhat hindered by his limp. tore after it.
 The deserted chateau. the fact that there was nothing h his military life beyond the routine to interest him now in Tarascon, made Sabron eagerly look forward to a change, and he waited for letters from the minister of war which would send him to a new post.
 The following day after his visit to the chateau he took walk. Pitchoune at his heels, and stood aside in the highroad to let a yellow motor pass him, but the yellow motor at that mo-

SEVERE FIGHTING
 IN WESTERN CAMP
THE BRITISH REPORT THE RE PULSE OF ALL THE GERMAN
 COUNTER ATTACKS.

London. - Severe fighting con- tinues at several points in the West. The British report the repulse of all the German counter-attacks in an ef. fort to regain the lost trenches north of Ypres and that the British gain has been extended with heavy German losses.
 French attacks at SoucheZ and that the Teutonic troops have made fur, rher progress in the WoeVre region. where they captured some trenches and 250 prisoners. However, the French victory in the Vosges appears 70 be the most important on the West ern front for some months.
 The German army headquarters staff in Berlin gave out the following statement:
 The French north of the refinery at Souchez were repulsed.
 Up to the present we have not sue ceeded in clearing the enemy from the trench section which we lost west of Souchea The report circulated by the French army administration re- garding the capture of German cannon is incorrect.
 East of Ally. unsuccessful isolat- ed attacks took place. We captured by storm several French lines o. trenches, extending over a width of $50 yards and joining our newly cai,- tured positions in the forest of Le Petre to the east

breeze without me. He had been run over by bicycle and he needed some very special care"
 Miss Redmond's hand was on Pit choune's head between his pointed ears. She looked sympathetic. She looked amused She smiled.
 Tt was a question of life and death,' wasn't it?" she said eagerly to Sabron.
 Really, it was just that" answered the young officer, not knowing how significant the words were to the two ladies'
 Then Madame dEsclignac knew that she was beaten and that she owed something and was ready to pay. The chauffeur got upon his seat and she asked suavely:
 Wont you let us take you home, Monsieur Sabron?"
 He thanked them. He was walking and had not finished his exercise.
 At all events" she pursued, now that your excuse is no longer a good one, you will come this week to din- ner, will you not?"
 He would, of course, and watched the yellow motor drive away in the autumn sunlight, wishing rather less for the order from the minister of war to change his quarters than he had before

ment drew up to the side of the road while the chauffeur got out to adjust some portion of the mechanism. Some one leaned from the yellow motor win dow and Sabron came forward to speak to the Marquise dEsclignac and another lady by her side.
 How do you do, Monsieur? Do you remember us?"
 (Had he ever forgotten them?) He regretted so very much not having been able to dine with them in the spring.
 And your sick friend?" asked Madame d'Esclignac keenly, did he recover?"
 Yes" said Sabron, and Miss Red mond, who leaned forward, smiled at him and extended her pretty hand Sabron opened the motor door.
 What darling dogl" Miss Red mond cried. What a bewitching face he has! He's an Irish terrier. isn't he?"
 Sabron called Pitchoune, who di- verted his attention from the chauf- feur to come and be hauled up by the collar and presented. Sabron shook of his reticence.
 Let me make a confession" he said with courteous bow. This is my very sick friend Pitchoune was at the point of death the night of your dinner and l was just leaving the house when I realized that the help less little chap could not weather the

The Dog Pays.


 Pitchoune repaid what was given him.
 He did not think that by getting well, reserving the right for the rest of his life to a distinguished limp in his right leg. that he had done all that was expected of him. He developed an ecstatic devotion to the captain, impossible for any human heart ade- quately to return. He followed Sab ron like a shadow and when he could not follow him, took his place on a chair in the window, there to sit, his sharp profile against the light, his pointed ears forward, watching for the uniform he knew and admired extrav- agantly.
 Pitchoune was a thoroughbred, and every muscle and fiber showed it, every hair and point asserted 1t. and he loved as only thoroughbreds can. You may say what you like about mon grel attachments, the thoroughbred in all cases reserves his brilliancy for crises.
 Sabron, who had only seen Miss heQnOnQ IWlC6 ana thought aOOut her countless times, never quite forgave his friend for the illness that kept him from the chateau. There was in Sab ron's mind. much as he loved Pit choune, the feeling that If he had gone that night
 There was never another invitation,
 ''Voyons. mon cher" his colonel had said to him kindly the next time he met him. what stupidity have you been guilty of at the Chateau dEscli- gnac?'
 Poor Sabron blushed and shrugged his shoulders.
 T assure you" said the colonel, "that I did you harm there without knowing it. Madame d'Esclignac, who Is a very clever woman, asked me with interest and sympathy. who your very sick friend could be. As no one was very sick according to my knowledge I told her so. She seemed triumphant and I saw at once that 1 had put you in the wrong"

CHAPTER Ill-Continued.

That evening the Marquise dEscli- gnae read aloud to her niece the news that the Count de Sabron was not com ing to dinner. He was absolutely des- plated" and had no words to express his regret and disappointment. The pleasure of dining with them both, pleasure to which he had looked for ward for a fortnight, must be re- nounced because he was obliged to sit up with a very sick friend, as there was no one else to take his place. In expressing his undying devotion and his renewed excuses he put his homage at their feet and kissed their hands.
 The Marquise d'Esclignac, wearing another very beautiful dress, looked up at her niece, who was playing at the piano.
 A very poor excuse, my dear Julia, and very late one"
 Tt sounds true. however. believe him, don't you, ma tante?"
 T do not" said the marquise en- phatically. "A Frenchman of good education is not supposed to refuse a dinner invitation an hour before he is expected. Nothing but a case of life and death would excuse it.
 He says very sick friend.'"
 Nonsense" exclaimed the marquise
 Miss Redmond played few bars of the tune Sabron had hummed and which more than once had soothed Pitchoune, and which, did she know. Sabron was actually humming at hat moment
 T am rather disappointed, said the young girl. but if we find it is mat ter of life and death. ma tante, we will forgive him?"
 The Marquise d'Esclignac had in- vited the Count de Sabron because she nel, who was an old and valued friend. She had other plans for her niece. T feel, my dear" she answered her now, quite safe in promising that if it is question of life and death we shall forgive him. l shall see his colonel tomorrow and ask him pointblank.
 Miss Redmond rose from the piano and came over to her aunt, for dinner had been announced.
 Well, what do you think" she slipped her hand in her aunt's arm. really, what do you think could be the reason.'
 Please don't ask me-" exclaimed the Marquise d'Esclignac inpatient ly. The reasons for young mems ca prices are sometimes just as well not inquired into"
 If Sabron, smoking in his bachelor quarters, lonely and disappointed, watching with an extraordinary fdeI- ty by his sick friend" could have seen the two ladies at their grand soli- tary dinner, his thrilled place between them, he might have felt the picture charming enough to have added to his collection

And there was more of it He only knew that there was a pathos in the tune which spoke to his warm heart; which caressed and captiyated him and which made him long deeply for a happiness he thought it most unlikely he would ever know
 There had been many pictures added to his collection. Miss Redmond at dinner, Miss Julia Redmond-he knew her first name now-before the piano; Miss Redmond in smart coat, walk ing with him down the alley, while Pitchoune chased flying leaves and ap- partitions of rabbits hither and thither.

He had fallen in love with a woman beyond his reach. for he had no for tune whatsoever, nothing but his cap tain's pay and his hard soldiers life. wanderers life and one which he hesitated to ask a woman to share.
