One evening In early summer

Schuyler looked into q pair OF as

neortstrings OF man or turned his
brain tePay-turvy, and murmured:

said Clinton. ia that am making up
a coaching party to go out to the Aud

amateur championship, and we want
you to come Rlong-don't We, Kate?"
Schuyler gladly accepted the invita-
ton and next morning put on a tweed
suit he had not worn before, and hur-
ried on to the rendezvous.
They were q gay party, and all en-
1oyed to the full the exhilarating morn
ing ride through the country and the
al fresco lunch on the grounds later.
Schuyler was constituted Miss Edger-
ley's escort, and they followed the
players over the course with enthusi-
asm. During one Of the most exciting
periods OF the game a sudden shower
came up. Miss Bdgerley disdained to
run to cover from a little rain. so
Schuyler protected her as well as DOS
slble with her sun umbrella. turning
up his coat collar and making the best
or II. Suddenly he became aware that
Miss Edgerley's eyes were fixed intent
ly on him. What was It? Her face
expressed surprise, modification, in
dignation-he could not tell Just what.
but her gaze seemed to rest on his per
son below his face in a strange, fas-
cinated way. At length she reached

surpassed that which her countenance
expressed. Just then Clinton came
up to them.
Whats the row." he exclaimed.
Eth! Where did that come from?" he
added as his eyes lighted on the mini
allure. Then he looked Schuyler over
from head to foot and a quizzical ex-
preston overspread his good-humored
face
ITO tell you the truth, I do not
know how I came by this" said Schuy-
Ter. Upon my word of honor it Is a
mystery to me, for I did not put the
pin there" But he said TO himself:
"Confound those tailors!"
Who is your tailor?" inquired Clin-
ton, as II reading Schuyler's
thoughts.
The young man hesitated-but was
saved.
"Aiguine & Ciseaux," he replied.
"Ha! ha! 1 thought So" cried Gin
ton. You put that pin there yourself.
Kate. Don't you remember this suit
of tweeds?"
They both laughed, looking Schuy-
Ter up and down. while he stood con-
