(special 10 The Argus.l

Waterloo, Aug. Rock Island

loo yesterday, it taking the home
1thIetes 3 innings to win the first
game and dropping the second in
Easy fashion by a score Of to l.
With a brother of c. W. Murphy,
the Chicago magnate, looking on,
Hollenbeck, on whom the Cubs hold
an option, pitched one of the most
brilliant games of his career. In
10 innings he allowed but three hits.
Rock Island scored in the second
when VogeI doubled, went TO third
on Beiter's error and was sacrificed
home by Gonding. Waterloo tied the
count in the seventh when Maggie
was safe on Snyder's error, went to
second on a sacrifice and scored on
Hollenbeck's safe drive TO right
Long hit safely in the 18th, went TO
second on a sacrifice and scored on
wolfes third hit of the game.
NEVER IN DOUBT.
The second game was Rock Is
lands at all stages. Hendrix field
ed poorly in the third and pitched
with about the same degree of &C
curacy, Lakaf, Bethuld, Davidson
and Wooley securing safe hits in
turn and counting four runs. Stat
terry hit the ball over the centertield
fence in the fifth for a home run.
Lakaff pitched great ball, striking
out eight men the first four innings.

With an effort, evading his grasp,
Eunice rose and stood facing him, the
chair between them.
II am sorry" she said, in tones full
of womanly sympathy, that you have
spoken of this again, Mr.. Hews What
my answer was six months ago must
be my answer still. do not love you,
and | never could love you as wom-
an should love the man she marries.
l am loath to give you pain, but am
telling you the simple truth. must
seem cruel to be kind"
The words were uttered with such
quiet sincerity as to carry to the
wretched man who heard them the
conviction that the fortress of her
heart was unassailable and would
never be won by him. Roger Hews
realized that he had failed utterly,
and he threw discretion to the four
winds.
You mean you are telling me only
part of the truth" he shouted saw
agely, his real nature coming to the
surface under the rebuff, now that
there was nothing to be gained by
further disguise. why not make
clean breast of it, and confess that
you are still infatuated with that up
start ass. Wilfrid Stennis, Where's
all your maidenly pride? Don't you
know that he belongs to another worn-
an now?"
The girl WINGED at the cruel stab,
at which evidence OF the truth of his
pitiful accusation Hews became even
more frantic. His mask of quiet re-
spectability was ruthlessly cast aside.
HE values you and your love about
as much as one of his old shoes!" he
sputtered coarsely. "He threw you
over once before, and now he's done it
again! He's nothing but dirty inn
postor. anyway, and I'll show him up!"
Speech failed him, and he stood be-
fore her painting, choking, impotent.
Eunice Trevecca moved towards the
door, and from the vantage of it's
opening looked him up and down in
contemptuous ccOrn.
81 thank you, lir. Hews," she said
with cutting emphasis; 81 have had
narrow escape, it seems!" and with
these words she left the room.

CHAPTER TX.

The preparations for the Stennis-
Passavant wedding went on apace.
Theirs was to be only siX-weeks' en-
gagement for Lent had just come in
when the fateful words were spoken
which in measure set the crown of
success upon the maneuvers of Mis-
tress Clara.
Did she love Wilfrid?. In the light
of events it seems extremely doubt
full; that she liked and admired him
we have SEEM in her eyes marriage
was more matter of creature COM
fort thap of love pure and undefiled-
but little better than a social COM
pact, in fact; so much beauty, so
much refinement, so much good birth
and position Interchange for so many
millions of dollars
If the possessor of the millions
happened to be very passable and
presentable sort of fellow, why, all
the better. In common with nearly
every other woman, Clara Passavant
shone at her best during these glamor-
Gus weeks, and Wilfrid was happy
or told himself that he ought to be.
But in reality what he regarded as
happiness was only dreamy sort of
nepenthe-he guessed he had done
the right thing-the thing that was
expected of him by Clara and all her
| friends. The rest didn't matter. In
fact, he told himself, nothing mat
| tered very much now that Eunice had
taken herself out of his career.
The penitential season was more
than half over, and there lacked but
| two short weeks of the wedding day
when Roger Hews fired his mine

Patient as ferret, he bided his time;
he had scored one failure; in this Sec
ond attempt to use his power there
must be no mishap or miscarriage.
According to custom, he waited upon
Stennis Immediately after breakfast
to open the mail and receive his in
structions for the day.
The usual routine was gone through,
and Wilfrid was about to start for his
morning gallop with his fiancee in the
park when the secretary spoke:
Can you give me your attention for
few minutes, Mr.. Stennis?"
Anything Important" quoth VIII
frjd. Cant you let 1t lie over?
have an appointment at H."
TT is most important, and 1t can't
lie overt" said Hews truculently.
Stennis eyed the man curiously; the
tone verging upon the insolent, his
first thought was that the immaculate
Roger had been imbibing too freely.
But second glance showed that he
was apparently perfectly sober.
We'll. well, man, get at II then-I
am in a hurry" exclaimed Wiifrid
testify.
Better sit down." said Hews with
easy familiarity. with your permis-
zion I'll order the horse back to the
stable; i don't think you'll want 10
'lt0 to-day"
