sort of victory. If he were able to
play scratch like Mr.. Sloan-but that
contingency was too far in the future
TO be considered. So, holding aloOf
from competition, Tom felt entitled to
indulge in disinterested criticism. Joe
Smith, instructor for the club, was his
chosen cOnfidant.
"Mr.-Mr. Sloan ought to get the
cup. He-he has bo-bogied the course
twice" suffered Tom.
He is a crackerjack," said Joe.
"Who goes around with Mi-Miss
Benson-I mean to ve-verify her

I'd send Mr. Sloan if he We're not

wink.
"He-he wouldn't believe his eyes if

Round girls are prettier," said Joe.
1T is no joke Something ought to
be-be done. Listen. Why not send

would not dare lille about her score"
The very thing" Joe exclaimed.
The clubhouse piazza was crowded
with guests to see the players in the
tournament drive. The game with
no age limit included child rising
against parent and grandchild against
grandparent.
The first to drive was Millionaire
Miller. He took plenty of time to ar
range his knees, shoulders, elbows,
wrists, hands and fingers. gave his
body mighty twist and. as if boring
for oil with the toes of his right foot,
swung his club Kissing through the

Shading his eye with one hand, Miller
strained eagerly forward.
Il didn't follow through he said ex-
cltedly Where did it go?"

titiously picking up the ball foot

Pretty Mary Benson came next, look
ing the picture of innocent girlhood in
white linen, the pulled up sleeves
showing her plump arms below the ell
bow. Mr.. Morse, the earnest little
curate, was delighted to keep her score
and followed along, talking eagerly in
his high pitched voice.
Tom had brought his huge concert
hall graphophone to the clubhouse and
set it up in one corner of the parlor
to play band music for an impromptu
dance in the evening, and he came out
on to the piazza just as Mary Benson
was about to drive; then he cut across
the links on run and when she and
Morse reached the third tee was, to all
human appearance, looking for lost
ball some distance off the course.

from, with the brook at the bottom of
a sharp incline not fifty yards ahead,
