A NOVEL HAZARD
In A GOLF MATCH.

"Confound them, they might have
put off their visit till Monday" said
Tom, jerking III pipe out of his
mouth. And it's Aunt Jane all over
to insist that she should fix the day.
Here | am to entertain her and her
friends, a couple OF old maids | will
bet, on the very afternoon when we
are to play off the golf match, and
how | am to meet them in the middle
beats me all hollow.
What time do you play?" inquired
his friend, who had for an hour been
discussing the points of the group with
Tom and the chances that the latter
would get the gold medal.
Half past two"
Then you can't do it. You'll have
to give up one or the other"
That's easy to say, but I'm not so
fixed that | can give up Aunt Jane.
You see, George, all my hopes for the
future hang on her, and it's a medal
against a future 5000 a year. But
hang it, | can't give Ned a walk-over.
Oh. dear; the inconsiderateness of
woman! Why could she not have
waited n week."
AS often happens, the beginning of
the game was very much delayed. 1t
was just possible that If the game was
played promptly Tom might run from
the field and catch the APO train, but
any delay was dangerous.

stormed Tom. 81 say, Ned, do make
haste; it's nearer three than half past
two"
that little idiot of a caddie has forgot
ten one of my sticks. All. there he
comes now. Now we can begin"
They were pretty evenly matched, as
the first play showed. But Tom was
too nervous to be at his best, and the
consequence was that at the end of
eight points his opponent led three.
When they reached the thirteenth hole
this had been reduced to two.
For the next, a particularly hard
play, his opponent played to a safe
place. Not SO Tom. Choosing his ground
he stood measuring the bank of sand
which rose before him $50 yards away.
To clear it was his only chance of win
ming the game and he knew 1t.
Another second and without any adj
dressing, he caught the ball most beau
tifully and drove it straight for the
center of the bunker. just over the
top of the bank it went in a straight
line for the hole.
Everybody acknowledged the neat
ness of this stroke with a cheer, and
Tom in his delight neither saw nor
heard the 4:2O train, which passed on
the trestle nearby. His blood was up
now and his nerve had come to him
again.
AT the seventeenth hole he was even,
and both men we're ready for the last,
which was an easy drive. Tom. as he
took his club from the caddie. felt nil

whose eyes looked the welcome that
Aunt James denied.
Had Tom delayed looking untif he
had given the stroke, had his con-
science not have given him a twinge,
he would have played better. His club
fell and the ball sliced off at a tam
gent.
A groan escaped him. Another hit
and he was now on his proper course.
Both now played the like and another
stroke brought both balls IN the green
dead, but while Toms was ten feet
away, his opponent had a sure thing
of as many inches.
1t was Toms play. however. and he

ly veXed al the slight, especially WIN
such a companion as he saw acconN
panying her. And the fates crossed
him here also.
As he took his position to play, he
found that a pretty pair of CATERS
were hiding his mark. What could he
do? He dared not recognize his aunt
until he could have time to make the
proper apologies. He must not rudely
ask, like D~iogenes, for more light. He
must shoot as best he could.
Slowly the ball rolled along IN an
exact line for the hole, straight for the
middle of a gaiter, but not straight
for the hole. The strength was per-
feet, but the ball came to a stop lust
two inches on one side of the hole, and
his adversary scored.
It was many years before Mrs. Tom
gave over teasing her husband for not
being able to distinguish her foot from
a golf hole. Even Aunt Jane, who pro-
fessed to be tremendously angry, re-
Tented when she saw Toms evident
admiration for her young friend, and
declared sit was all her fault. anyway,
that he had been beaten. but indeed
she lever could see any enjoyment in
golf; other things were so much more
worth winning"
What she meant by that she never
told, but Tom won out easily when he
played under her care.-N. Y. Sun.

THE GROWTH OF LONDON.
Not Very Different from That of
Many of Our Ameri-
can Cities.

The suburban builder has certain
fixed and resolute notions. To begin
with, says the London Spectator, he
greatly dislikes a tree. A w~ell-grown
tree is too large for him; SO lens as It
is left standing it makes 1t Impossible
for him to utilize every square inch
OF the ground he has acquired OH
which to build houses. His first step,
therefore, in dealing with the large
pfeces of ground which come into the
market from time to time in a growing
n%eighborhood, and which originally
formed the park or woods of what was
once a single country estate, is to cut
down the trees. The olGcr and grander
trees perhaps cannot be emoved mere
ly with an ak and q spade; these he
Just blasts put of the ground.
Next, everything must be like every
thing else. All the roads must be of
the same width and run in uniform di-
reetions; each house must resemble its
nelghbor as far as possible. except
that here is a certain latitude allowed
in the pattern picked out in yellow
bricks on the background of red; OF
there may be several different styles
in white wooden balconies. Each gar
den, again, must measure so much by
so much; there must be SO many feet
in front of the house and SO many
behind; and after the garden is meas
uled out. it has to be inclosed with a
wooden fence. of which the black kind
is the worst. One by one the square
black boardings announcing that this
eligible residence is to be let or sold"
disappear as the newly married city
clerk and his bride come into occupa
ton; scarcely q year a gone by since
the first brickload was driven into the
r of the hay field, and another
bideous addition has been made to the
london suburbs.

RUPERT'S
UNLUCKY DAY.

If there was one thing that Lady
Rupert Fitzmaurice prided herself on,
it was her knowledge of men. She had
certainly put her W experience to
good advantage, for Sir Rupert Fitz-
maurice was regarded by the match
making mothers of rs years ago as the
best catch in his county.
Lady Rupert had, moreover, carried
on her success by marrying her two
eldest daughters well, if not altogether
happily, and was disliked by other
women as a designing matchmaker.
But her youngest daughter, Alicia.
was a strange puzzle. She seemed alb
solutely devoid of that social ambition
which was the handspring of Lady Ru-
pert's matrimonial designs.
To-day she was particularly annoyed
with Alicia. This was the end of Ali
cia's second season, and her mother
had spent a great deal in dances and
dinners, in theater parties and week.
ends for her.
And yet when she had at last sue
ceeded in bringing a really eligible
young man within her reach, Alicia
persisted in snubbing him.
my dear Alicia" she said, as they
drove home from the park, isn't it a
little foolish to treat Lord T~ewksbury
as you did in the park this morning.
You gave him the coolest of bows
, and"
Il don't like Lord Tewkesbury," Ali
cia broke in.
"As If hat had anything to do with
it," said Lady Rupert snappishly. "The
question is whether Lord T~ewksbury
likes you"
"IIe is probably after my money"
my dearsAlicia, what a silly. vulgar
thing to say" retorted Lady Rupert,
now thoroughly angry. "Of course, a
man in that rank who is not very well
off must marry money, but that does
not mean to say that he wants to mar
ry you for your money. l spend my
whole life in trying to make you hap
by, and you simply thwart all my
schemes, although they are for your
own good"
Alicia had a very biting retort on hei
tongue, but she had an idea that it was
not only bad form, but dangerous, tc
quarrel with her mother. After all
Lady Rupert meant it for the best, and
could be a terrific bully, as Alicia
knew.
So Alicia heaved a little sigh, anG
said nothing. Suddenly a quick flush
came to her cheeks. and Lady Rupert
sharply following her daughters eye
saw a young man raise his hat ant
stop in indecision.
The carriage had been caught in &
block of traffic, and he evidently want
ed to advance. But Alicia shook hel
head with a slight smile. and\the mex
minute the figure was lost hin th'
crowd.

The rest of the journey home was
made in silence. Alicia knew, how
ever, that her mother had noted the
'tell-tale blush when she bowed to Mr..
Swinton, and that the campaign would
now begin in earnest.
Alicia was not an eaveSdropper, but
the study door was a chink open, and
she could not help hearing voices as
she passed. The mention of her W
name had arrested her attention.
mo, Sir Rupert" said a voice which
was strangely familiar to her, II must
have $4,000 a year as your daughter
Alicia's dot. The estates are heavily
mortgaged, and it must be SO arranged
that most of the money is at my dis
posal."
Alicia's heart beat very fast as she
heard her mother reply: Il think
$4,000 is a very large sum, Lord
Tewkesbury."
"Shall we make it 92,500, Lord
Tewkesbury?" said Sir Rupert. ALI
cha, you know, is not an ordinary girl;
she is exceptionally well educated, ex-
ceptionally well educated" and her
fathers voice died away among the
rustling of the papers.
Alicia clenched her hand. Did they
think she was a mere cypher who
could be bought or sold?

And now Alicia heard their footsteps
advancing to the door.
Lord Tewkesbury was the first to
open the door. For the moment he
imagined the figure was an apparition,
and started back. Then Alicia swayed
and fell i a dead faint across the
doorway.
