"AIl observers and naturalists are familiar with
the wonderful ~rapidity of flight, keenness of eye and
voracity of the frigatc-bird, " continued the unabashed
Carter. The only golfer of whom | stood in fear
was a young Scotchman who had made three long
drives. and in order to beat him it was necessary
for me to put out one at least two hundred twenty
five yards.
The soil was all sand. and there was practically no
roll to a ball. The moment my club struck the ball
realized that had hit it too low for a long carry.
1t scared into the air and had just started to drop
when a frigate-bird darted at it like a flash. catching
the ball squarely in its beak. | do not suppose the
bird retained it more than q few seconds before ascer-
tanning that its prey was indigestiblc but the line of
its flight was straight out on the course. At all events
the ball dropped five hundred sixty-eight yards from
the tee, the longest drive ever made in Rio Janeiro. "

That means a cold two hundred thousand for
me. Smith, ;" he said carelessly, as if he had won a golf
ball. IF hadn't neglected my business the other
day to play golf with you children should have
closed out "A deal at a figure which would have nctted
me that much less profit. As it was fooled around
with you. Carter and the Kid. lost a few dozen balls
to YOU, an automobile to her. and during all that time
the stock | intended to sell was Logging it up toward
par. That is what we keen financiers call good judg-
mcnt. Watch me lambastc this BALL"
The same cow that swallowed his ball the pre-
ccding day had broken through a fence and was wander
ing about the links. BY some strange fatality Hard
ing's ball seems to have an affinity for that bovine.
1t bounded toward her and stopped "A few inches from
her nose. 1t was the longest drive Harding has
made since his famous first shot. and he was wildly
excited when the COW began to nose about 1t.
'Forcl Fore. thcrel' he shouted, waving his club
in the air. Let that bail alone, you slab-sided,
broken horned derclctl Shes got ii, Carter, and
she'll swallow it sure as somebody made little green
apples. Drop it, drop it, She's swallowed it again."
Grabbing an iron club from his bag, he started
for that cow, yelling like an Indian. She regarded
him complaccntiy until he was within a few yards of
her. then lowered her head. paved the turf and lowed
menacingly. Harding threw the club, but missed her
horns by a slight margin. Then she turned and beat
a digniied retreat.
Harding recovered the club and started after her, and
by fast work overlook the COW as she was crossing
the brook. A resounding blow with the shaft of
the club on her TANKS accelerated her speed, but he

putting green. There Harding hit one more blow,
and then paused and watched the COW as she ambled
toward the woods to the right. We supposed he
had resigned himself to the loss of the ball and his shot,
but when we reached the green he was standing over
a mangled object which we recognized as a partially
masticatcd golf-ball. 1t lay within a foot OF the
hole.
Fairly good for my first shot. eh?" smiled Harding.
-Four hundred thirty yards, so the card says"
do you claim that as your first shot?' demanded
Carter.
Well. l should say l did" rejoined Harding.

Did the COW drop it there?" | asked.

He studied his put carefully, and ran the SCARED
