dressed up mighty fine. Now you can testify, Charity that l always did love
 to hear the female voice, but when you
 was a girl, and we used to set on the
 back steps, of summer night, if you
 had sung whole pack of songs at one
 settin, as it were, without tellin' their
 names, or lettin' anybody know where
 one begun or t'other ended, I should
 have Hit out!" But the golf woman thought different, for she clapped her hands and nodded her head, and all the other golf fiends did likewise. Then
 they took to playin' somethin sort O soft and purrin', and begun to feel like I do after I've took a dose of your anise and catnip, Charity, and I says to myself This Is kinder pleasant" so I settled back in my seat to get the whole benefit, so to speak, when my eye lit on Ben, and that broke the spell. and set up straight with jerk. He seer me, too, for he kinder smiled, and then he got sort O pale, and I says tp my self, q know'd he'd get excited if he see me here" Jest then they went to work on somethin real stirrin, and I begun to git more and more interested, and with my eyes on Ben, forgot every thing but the music and him. Real mu- sic it was now, and music that meant somethin', too, but I couldn't tell eX- actly what they were at. All on sud- den it come to me like a flash, and l spoke right out to Smith, and says I, I've got 1t. They are up to the times them boys! It's the English and the 'sho j,t I o1x That tromboon's old Krugers voice! Now they're marchin'! Now they're fightin' !-that's the cries of the wound ed Go in Ben! Which side be you on?" Then the golf woman turned right round and smiled real sociable- like and I leaned over, and says, says l. Cute! ain't it! Good as golf, eh?" I suppose it wasn't very nice for me to refer to golf, but was so excited that didn't know what I was a-sayin, and the tightin was a-goin' on pell-mell, and the fiddles was a-squeakin', and the drums was a-beatin', and the tromboons was a-growlin', and Ben was ''in it." Jest then somebody must have surren- dered, or the wires was cut, or some thin, for it all come to an end with a crash and then there was a great clap pin, and then we all rig up to go, and felt so exilerated like that I jest threw any old fur cap straight up into the air, and I roared right out "Hurrah! But I'll be blamed if I know which beat af- ter all!' Then Smith whispered to me that he felt faint and would pilot him right out quick" I reckon he ain't very strong, and I told him that I guessed golf would be good thing for him, and to tell the truth, I felt the need of little somethin' myself, for was pretty tuckered with it all.
