He bent swiftly forward and took
one of her hands in his. Instinctively
she clenched it; and he wrapped his
strong hard fingers around the small
white fist. then deliberately inserted
hard finger joint between her Sec
ond and third knuckles, slowly in
creasing the pressure. And watched
with absolute indifference the lines Of
agony grave themselves upon her
smooth unwrinkled forehead, and the
color leave her cheeks, as the pain
grew too exquisite. Then, suddenly dis
continuing the pressure, but retain

Behind her the door closed softly;
and there followed thud as a bolt
was shot. An instant later Anisty
now and without wasting speech, hur-
ried her into the next room. Then,
releasing her, he turned up the lights
and, passing to the windows, threw
two or three of them wide; for the
air in the room was stale and lifeless.
And now" said the criminal in a
tone of satisfaction, now we can talk
business, my dear"
He removed his overcoat and hat,
throwing them over the back Of con-
venient chair, drew his fingers
thoughtfully across his chin, and,
standing at little distance, regarded
the girl with a shadow of saturnine
smile softening the hard line of his
lips.
She stood where he had left her, as
IL volition was no longer hers. Her
arms hung slack at her sides and she
was swaying trifle, her face vacant,
eyes blank; very near the breaking

The man was not without percep-
ton; and recognized her state-one
in which, he felt assured, he could get
very little out of her. She must be
strengthened and revived before. she
would or could respond to the direct
catechism he had in store for her. In
his own interest, therefore, more than
through any yielding to motives OF
pity and compassion, he piloted her to

Suspension Rule to Be
Enforced by Commission

AT the start of the amateur baseball
season it is desired that notice be given
the players that the rule Of the commits
sion, in regard to suspension for playing
on more than two teams under the COM
mission, will be strictly enforced
1t has been noticed that several men
have identified themselves with more
than two teams under different leagues,
and while this is not irregular. it must
be borne in mind that these players can
play games with but two teams in diff
ferent leagues. Secretary Shurtleff has
stated he will look carefully into each
game played and notify the commission
for suspension the player not living up
to the ruling.
No little difficulty was encountered
last season by players being registered
with more than two teams and playing
IN three leagues in the same season. It
Is announced that such will not be the
ease this year. as the players will be
carefully watched for any violation
In the case of games forfeited for non
appearance of teams. the names of all
players on the field at the time of for
feiture will be taken. so that It will be
Impossible for repetition of last years
famous PhippS case.
In addition to this il is expected that
o much closer touch will be kept on re-
leases of players which the managers
have used in the past. Heretofore 1t
has been practically impossible to keep
tabs on the releases of players and the
signing with new teams, but assurance
has been given that the commission will
be appraised in each instance OF re-
leases and signing up of new players
with other teams under the commission.
