white sweater and tam o. shanter, she
seemed the very essence of the snowy
brilliant morning. Her companion, a
somewhat narrow hested youth with
an aristocratic nose and a short up
per lip, was a stranger. Imported for
the dance" Davoud thought.
'Forel" she shouted a graceful,
bouyant figure outlined against the
sky. Then, "Oh, how stupid! The cad
dy has given me the wrong driver. I
can't use this warped thing"
The caddy was yards away down by
the brook, waiting calmly for the
balls. Davoud came to the rescue
with the offer of his club. She had
ceased to refuse favors from him now.
'Oh, thank YOU" she said. "Y ours is
such beauty. I'm sure to make my
hundred-and-fifty yards. Forel"
The timber, dark-handled club went
whistling to meet the little red bali,
then with one of those strange fatali-
ties so frequent on the links snapped
in two, and the girl swung around on
the ball of her foot holding the broken
shaft, while the head went hurting
through the air.
"Oh, what a shame!', she cried in
genuine distress. Your beautiful

and lifting his cap he strobe through
the snow back to the house for another
club.
A little later he heard laughter and
scampering feet up the veranda steps,
and, coming out of his workshop door,
he encountered the destroyer of his
clubs and peace of mind, snowy and
wet, on her way to the lockers.

He held a crisp bank note lin one
golf-gloved hand.
"I'm awfully sorry about that club. -
he said affably. "Will this cover the
expense?"
Davoud's hazel eyes darkened. Did
the man think he would accept pay
for an act Of courtesy, like a porter on
a Pullman car?

"Oh, but / insist" he said smiling.
Davoud took the proffered note be-

for you" and thrusting the cracking
bit Of paper into the boys eager hand,
he bowed to Miss De Peysters aston

and closed the door. Had he left II

an old sweater from its nail, you can
lend me one of these"
She stood before him. not shyly, but
like some friendly queen about to be-
stow great gifts.
Davoud faced her with clenched
hands. Then his heart leaped to his
lips.
You should never have come in
here like this if you didn't want me
to tell you! You should have stayed
out there with the people that you

He sat down despairingly on the
wooden bench among the shavings,
his sleek, boyish head bowed in his
hands.

A PHARISEE OF
THE FAIR GREEN
BY RUTH EDWARDS
BY RUTH EDWARDS
Copyright, 1904, by NJ. Wood.

The headquarters of the Mountain
side Golf Club stood facing the rain
washed hills. with the red and yellow
behind a veil of mist. From the low
steps of the club house. the fair green
stretched like emerald velvet, the grass
still summer-hued.
John Davoud, keeper of the aforesaid
club house, instructor in the royal game
of golf, winner of many matches, was a
strong shouldered, broad-chested Young
fellow. In knickerbockers and a grey
sweater, he stood on the Veranda. a dis
abled lofting mashie in one brown
hand, looking across the wet links with
appreciative eyes. He loved his en-
vironment with an unintrospective pas
sion.
A bedraggled caddy came from
around the corner of the house.
Don't believe therell be anything

water.
Amt the lady what was here yes
terday a-comin ?" inquired the caddy.
''She said she was, sure"
Yes, Davoud admitted, she had said
so. He even admitted more to his
secret heart. She was proud as Luci-
fer and duffer at the game What a
disheartening exhibition of topped balls
and pulls and slices her last lesson had
been. But a girl with a face like that
was subject to none of the standards
brought to the judging of other NOR
tails She might break his mashtes and
treat him like dirt in the boxes, if she
pleased Davoud only remembered
that her ewes were gray stars under a
midnight of lashes. Besides. she
wasn't altogether like the other society

you see he isn't that kind?"
The little incident of the morning,
rubbing in so forcibly the undeniable
fact that he did not belong" did not
render Davoud's mood genial when
the arrival of the dancers found him
in his working clothes. putting the
finishing touches to the decorations
over the hall door. 1t was not one of
Davoud's duties, but the man hired
for. the occasion had managed to get
himself pleasantly Jagged at the last
moment.
He was standing on a step-ladder,
hammer in one hand, mailing UP the
last wreath, when Antoinette De Pey-
ster, glowing like a rose, an ermine
cape slipping from her bare shoulders,
entered with her companion of the
morning, immaculate in evening dress.
Davoud had never seen her like this
before. crescent of pale pearls
glimmered in her dark hair above her
starry eyes. He went on hammering
with a stolid countenance.
The wreath safely fastened. Davoud
shouldered the ladder and betook
himself to his own world, the world
of the shaving-strewn, bare little work
shop, where disabled clubs, implanted
balls, and golf supplies of all kinds
awaited his attention. Dreamy waltzes
and 4gay two-steps floated to him
from the ball room. He felt a little
lonely. It's one thing to give up the
world of fashion, another thing to be
shut out.
I'm coming in" said voice from
the doorway.
Davoud started. He looked at his
rough clothes to which the sawdust

the shimmering gown, at the crescent
of pearls shining in her hair, at the
fair, uncovered neck.

a sparkle of snow, the red flags flut-

in the valley Davoud could see two fig

Thornton. a diamond salesman, repre-

escape from the loss of a trunk load Of
diamonds, said 10 be valued at $780,

Thornton was here this week making
a display Of the jewels he came near
losing and states he had reason TO be-

for some days. They opened opera

whsch the jewels were carried had
been checked TO Houston. The thieves,
who had laid their plans quite clever

burg. midway between the two cities,
and then managed to -sl1fft the checks

Vaiuables was in consequence put of

says that a small Japanese coaster
also was approached, but the violent
squall made it impossible to capture
the crew and that therefore the coaster
was not sunk.
Heavy weather, he says, prevented
him following the coaster, and the
cruiser squadron made for Chestakoff
fleeing before the tempest to gain the
Korean coast. Owing to the storm, the
squadron was able to accomplish only
five knots per hour. Heavy seas were
shipped and the cruisers and guns were
coated with ice, there being nine de-
grees of frost. Two violent gales were
encountered within three days.
CZAR'S FAREWELL TO TROOPS.

staff, and a number of court officials.
After the inspection, the rendering of
the national anthem by the band and
cheers from the spectators, the Gar
made a speech to the departing soldiers,
in which he said:

and it is assured by the German au-
thorities that Japan will be ready by
early spring for a forward land move
ment supported by properly equipped
bases. Possibly 25O.OO0 men (according
to the estimates made at the German
Admiralty will be in the field before a
collision takes place with the Russians
in force
Expert naval opinion in Berlin justi-
fies the Japanese in landing before the
Russian fleet is destroyed, as to wait
until that is accomplished might mean
a delay in the land operations for
months and the consequent strengthen
ing of Russia's forces.
The expectation expressed by a tech
nical newspaper which reviews the sit
uation is that Japan probably in the
beginning will have considerable land
successes through hard fighting What
may occur after the early period of the
land operations no technical person
ventures to predict in writing, though
it is doubted if the Siberian Railway
will be at all adequate to reinforce and
supply the Russian army.

w. r.. McIntire and SON Edward
Suffering from Injuries.
Suffering from contact with a sea
nettle, Mr.. w. r. McIntire has been
confined to his home. No. 119 Jones
street, east, since Friday, while his
1O-year-old son Edward has been at
St. Joseph's Hospital for the last few
days, where he went to undergo an
operation for appendicitis.
The little boy was suddenly aftlict-
ed Monday and when indications of
appendicitis were discovered he was
taken to ST. Joseph's Hospital, where
an operation was performed Tuesday.
On the same day an operation was
performed on the knee of Mr.. McIn-
tire, which had become badly swollen
from contact with the sea nettle. The
wound was received last week at War
saw.
Mr.. McIntire is ticket agent for the
Central of Georgia, and many inquiries
as to his health have been received
since his illness became known. He
was reported last night as getting
along nicely, with the chance of be-
ing out again within a week or ten
days.
Last night Mrs. McIntire spent some
time at the hospital on a visit to her
little son. She found him in excel
lent spirits and in a fair way to
speedy recovery.
