exile at Paris and In Italy, alternating
with stays In prison. One Of his pro-
tests was against the measures pursued
BY the government in suppresslng the

publican newspaper, of which he was
editor, reporter and reviewer. He
established a publishing house to In
tFOduce TO Spain the great works of

this was but one of the attempts he
has made, sometimes Mt the risk Of his
life, to bring his country into the cur
rent of modern thought. He was elect
ed to the COrteS. and became the leader
OF his party. He devofes his time at
present entirely to literature.
In his novels he began In the usual
Spanish way with pictures Of local
provincial life with the types and the
pictures Of which he was familiar. But
he deals not merely with pictures, his
stories all have an object I'm which
their strenuous author Il greatly in
terested. He lacks restraint, his pas
sion for independence IL without
bounds, he carries his admiration for
the realism of lola to limits which
shock our more restrained habit of
mind, but despite the opposition which
he has encountered Mt Nome and
abroad. the author of E"The Four Horse

coming one of, the most widely read

TN 1870 Marcelo Desnoyers was a

N 1870 Marcel0 Desnoyers was a
lonely lad of nineteen years living
in Marseilles. A popular nantes
tation in favor of peace, at the
first news of war with Prussia, infiu-
enced him to leave the country and he
made an unforgettable trip to South
America, where after many failures
and laborious existence, he became
an employee Of Madariaga, the CEN
taur.
Don Madariaga's fortune was enOT-
nous. He had gained his first money
as a fearless trader, and with his
earnings had bought vast tracts of
land, devoting them to the raising of
cattle. Though he had capricious
and despotic character he nevertheless
felt certain fondness for his new
French overseer. One morning Des-
noyers saved his life.
Thanks, Frenchy," said the ranch
man, much touched. "You are an all
round man and ! am going to reward
you. From this day shall speak to
you as / do to my family"
Desnoyers soon married Tulsa, Ma
dariaga's elder daughter, while a
young German, Karl Hartrott, recent
arrival at the ranch, married Elena,
her younger sister. Seated under the
awning on summer nights the ranch
man surveyed his family around him
with sort Of patriarchal ecstasy.
"Just think of it, Frenchy," he said.
Il am Spanish, you French, Karl Ger
man, my daughters Argentinians, the
cook Russian, his assistant Greek, the
stable boy English, the kitchen serv-
ants natives, Galicians, or Italians, and
among the poems are many castles and
laws And yet all live in peace.
In Europe, we would have probably
been in grand fight by this time, but
here we are all friends"
Julio, the son Of Desnoyers, was the
favorite grandchild of Madariaga.
"Ah, the fine cowboy! What a pretty
fellow you are !" he would say. "Have
good time, for grandpa is always
here with his money"
One evening the patrons horse came
slowly home without it's rider. The old
man had fallen on the highway, AND
when they found him he was dead.
The Hartrotts moved to Berlin ct
once and the Desnoyers went to Paris,
each household in possession Of an
enormous fortune. Besides establish
ing his family in an ostentatious house
in Paris, Desnoyers bought a castle,
Northumberland Marine, mixture of
palace and fortress, where he could
put his rapidly accommodating pur-
chases Of paintings, furniture, statues
ALI those things which he carried
away from the auctions which II had
now become his habit to frequent.
The only disappointment in Desnoy-
era new life came from his children
his daughter Chichi because Of her In
dependence and Julio because Of his
aimless existence. Julio has had to
make trip to South America in order
to realize on bequest from his grand
father so that he might marry the fas-
chatting and frivolous Marguerite Lau-
rier, with whom he had become in
fatuated.
Suddenly the cloud Of war cast its
shadow over this family. The self
suGicIent Or. Julius Won Hartrott said
to his cousin: "War win be declared
tomorrow or the dag after. Nothing
can prevent 1t now. II Is necessary
for the welfare Of humanity"

PITCHER KINNEY PLAY

CHICAGO. March 30.-Judge Lands,
commissioner of baseball. has denied
the application for reinstatement filed
by Walter ". Kinney. a pitcher with
the Philadelphia Americans, who was
charged with violating his contract
last May to play with an independent
team at Franklin. Pa.
Kinney deserted the Philadelphia
club when the Franklin team offered
him a $500 increase in salary. From
the evidence introduced IL was
brought out that the Philadelphia
club had advanced him 81. 900 prelimi-
nary to the start of the 1920 season;
that he had been granted a so per
cent increase in salary and that he
left the club without notice. owing
about $500, which he has never at
tempted to repay.
Connie Mack, manager of the Phila-
delphia club. sought to induce Kinney
to return. but he failed to do so after
having promised to join the team

ed his mastery of this kind OF play in
his handicap match with Albert Cut
Ter at Maurice Days Academy yes
terday afternoon by smashing two
worlds records ana continuing apace
to smash another.
In the course of the demonstration
he ran his 400 points in seven innings,
while Cutler, with 3S. fell abjectiy
short of his desired 800. The match is
run on this basis: Horemans to get
400 to Cutters 300. vr 2,40O points for
the Belgian to 1900 for his oppon-
ent. Horemans at the end of the
afternoon block had 1000 to Cutters
SOS, or 302 points behind the 900
sought.
The sixth inning saw the first Of
the records broken. This was a run
of $50, ten globes better than Frank

cost him what might have been a
much higher mark and possible
completion of his block. as he only
had five more points to go.
When he did collect these points at
his next visit to the table his average
for the block was 81 1t, which badly
shattered the mark of 81 Y also made
by Ives In his match against "wix-
ard" Schaefer in 1897. Both former
records were In tourney play, and
question as to whether the new rec

Charles p. Miller, an authority.
