Thus it happened that Morton and Olga, standing behind the eertain which hung at the entrance to the dining-room, though hurled to the floor by the force of the explosion, had escaped with a few bruises, while @tephanski, who had been in the front room, only a few feet away, now lay dead amid the debris—killed by the very bombs with which he had planned to kill others, On the other side of the room, half buried beneath a heap of fallen plaster, Hope was stretched. His eyes were closed and only @ faint Beaving of the chest, #o slight as to be almost Imperceptble, showed that he was living.
