"Well, with a dynamited track, a busted auto, a smashed 'phone connection and a foundered horse, what would you suggest doing?" demanded Johnson, pessimistically. "Walkin' ain't so durned good in this country." "If we could get to Conejo we could get Mendoza to drive us over to Casa Grande," hazarded Williams. "Well, that ain't a bad idea for you, Jack," said Tom, patronizingly.
Or was he about to pull the loot to pieces and discover her? She listened with her whole body, but heard nothing from the driver. Instead, came the detonation of the dynamited tracks. The ground beneath the car trembled. Then she heard the man laugh as he started the car again. "They've blown up something! That sounds like Don Juan's voice, too. If I could only see!"
It was nothing more than a large, weed-and-willow- covered five acres, a wrecked dam jutting out from the east bank, and a great gaunt pile of foundation masonry standing high and dry on a bare knoll at the north end. It had a history never twice told the same. The dam had been dynamited, that much was sure. By whom, no one knew.
A judge commits a man to death, and the judge is dynamited. A Prime Minister sends the army to shoot down striking workmen and the Prime Minister is shot. A law is passed violating the rights of free speech, and, following that, an Emperor is shot. The rich exploit the poor, and a fanatic throws a bomb in the first café he passes to revenge the poor.
For mile after mile the splendid trees which lined the highroads were ruthlessly cut down; mansions which could fittingly have housed a king were dynamited; churches whose walls had echoed to the tramp of the Duke of Alba's mail-clad men-at-arms were levelled; villages whose picturesqueness was the joy of artists and travellers were given over to the flames.
As far as I know there is no record of the date when the chapel was built, yet it was a most interesting and important structure. In May, 1904, its identity was completely destroyed, its interior walls being dynamited and removed and the whole structure roofed over to be used as a barn. It originally consisted of a chapel about 40 feet long and 30 feet wide, and eight rooms.
By rail we traveled south across the level fields and lush green meadows of Holland, over bridges ready to be dynamited in case of invasion, and through training camps of the 450,000 Dutch soldiers then mobilized along the border. At a little town called Eschen the train stopped because the Belgians had torn up the tracks.
Miss Rhodes' story went on to tell how Hayden refused to phone the combination; how the mayor and Max dynamited the safe and secured the precious package, only to lose it in another moment to a still different contingent at the inn; how Hayden had come, of his suicide when he found that his actions were in danger of exposure "a bitter smile for Kendrick in that" reflected Magee and how finally, through a strange series of accidents, the money came into the hands of the writer for the Star.
"You've done more damage than if you had dynamited the whole mine and then turned a river into the shaft. This kind of news spreads. In a week there won't be a worker east of the Jordan who won't be a strike fan. And these people here will work the idea a step farther. I know them. They'll decide that if one strike is good, two strikes are better.
That's how you ought to look at it. You give me what's my due and you put twenty thousand in your pocket by an honest act. Hayden comes. He asks for the bundle. You point to the dynamited safe. You did your best." "No," said Bland, but his tone was less firm. "I can't go back on Hayden. No it wouldn't " "Twenty thousand," repeated Cargan. "Ten years' salary the way you're going ahead at present.
