night by August Hermann, chairman
of the National commission, who said
that approximately 100000 was loaned
and contributed to the league to en-
able it to meet it's obligations.
Herrmann's statement was made in
reply to the protest by John H. Far

ton of the major leagues in playing
Sunday games at the former Newark

for $4,000 as full payment for claims
against the old International league,
Hermann said. but there still is an
unpaid amount of $500.
This sum represents money which
the National COMMISSION and the
major leagues loaned to Edward G.
Barrow, who was then president Of
the International, to meet certain
obligations during the latter part OF
the 1914 season.

Marauders.


The surprise was easily effected.
for Colonel Cobo's men were accom-
,plished in this sort of work. Rosa,
crouching upon her bench, heard
nothing. saw, nothing. until out of the
shadows beside her human forms ma
twice; then a palm closed over her
mouth and she began to struggle like
q cat.
Evangelina, who had walked at the
first outcry, met the marauders as
they rushed through the door. There
were shouts and curses. loudly bel
lowed orders, a great scuffilng and
pounding of feet upon the dirt floor
Of the hut, the rIckety. bark-covered
walls bulged and creaked. Over all
sounded the shrieks of the negress
battling In the pitch-black Interior
like an animal in its lair. Then some
one set fire to the thatch; the flames
licked up the dead palm leaves to
the ridgepole, and the surroundings
leaped into view.
Rosa saw a swarthy, thlckset man
in the uniform of a colonel of vol
unteers, and behind him Pancho Cue
to. Tearing the hand from her lips
for a moment, she cried Cueto's
name. but he gave no heed Rosa
shrieked his name again; then she
heard the officer say:
"Where is the young fellow7

common wench."
Evangelina's cries Of rage and de-
fiance ceased. and with them the
sounds of combat From the blazing
bohio ran two armed men. brushing
sparks from their clothing. A third
followed. dragging Evangelina by one
naked arm.
Rosa felt herself swooning. and she

Cueto.

to Rosa, and with 4 Jerk that shook
her into fuller consciousness repeat
