TEXT OF RULING.
The finding follows: THE commits
sion has given the matter its most care
full consideration, and we have come to
the following conclusion:
"First-The action Of the Waterloo
and Dubuque clubs in commencing
court proceedings with reference to
this controversy was entirely unwsr-
rsnted. Both these clubs had their re-
dress to the national association. and,
If an unsatisfactory finding was made,
in an appeal TO the national commits
sion. We, therefore, hold all court pro-
ceedInss must be Immediately dis
missed.
"Second-We find the Waterloo club
has not been legally dropped as mem
ber Of the Three-Eye league.
MAY SUBMIT OTHER MATTERS.
Third: We direct all of the club
owners Of this league to assemble at
the call Of their president on or be-
fore April 5 to adopt schedule for
tho playing season and to take such
other action as may be necessary for
the proper operation Of tho league
during the season of 1911, and that
clubs TO agree upon any proposition,
the same shall be Immediately sub
mItted to the national commission for
It's adjudication.
Fourth: II Is our Judgment the cir
cult Of this league as now established
10 an undesirable one and should be
dissolved at the end Of the season of
1911, and that any four clubs of the
league be entitled TO appeal for dis
solution thereof at that time.
Fifth: In case court proceedings
are not dismissed by the Waterloo
and Dubuque clubs protection under
the national agreement Will be at once
withdrawn from these clubs. L
REFUND MONEY To QUINCY.
sixth: The Quincy club being an
Innocent party in this unfortunate con-
troVersy. should be thoroughly pro-
teeted and the commission recon-
rnends that If possible the circuit Of
the Three-Eye league be increased TO
10 clubs for one year, and IL this can
not be brought about. all moneys paid
by the Quincy club for its release from
the Central association must be re-
funded TO them Immediately"

CHAPTER XIII.

Keith paused at the landing, looh
ihe down into the deserted ONCE, al
most tempted to return ana force
Hawley into Z confession Of his pur
pose. It was easy for him to con
ceive what would be the nnal result
of this interview between the artistic
gambler and Miss Maclaire. In spite
OF the vague suspicion Of evil which
the plainsman had implanted within
the woman's mind. the other possessed
the advantage, and would certainly
improve It. All conditions were do
cidedly IN his favor. He merely
needed to convince the girl that she
was actually the party sought, and
she would 60 forward, playing the
am he desired, believing herself
right. totally unconscious Of any
fraud. The very simplicity Of II rem
dered the plot the more dangerous
