Boggs, tall, gaunt figure in the
shadowy uncertainty of that October
morning. He was the first to reach
the place of meeting, but he had
scarcely entered the meadow when
Fentress rode up, attended by Tom
Ware. They dismounted, and the
colonel lifted his hat. Mahafy bare
ly acknowledged the salute: he was
in no mood for courtesies that meant
nothing Ware was clearly OF the
same mind.
There was an awkward pause, then
Fentress and Ware spoke together In
a low tone. The planters speech was
broken and hoarse, and his heavy,
blood-shot eyes were the eyes OF a
haunted man; this was all part OF
Fentrese' scheme to face the world,
and Ware still believed that the fires
Hicks had kindled had served his des-
perate need.
When the first long shadows stole
out from the edge OF the woods Fen
tress turned to Mahaffy, whose glance
was directed toward the distant cor
ner of the field, where he knew his
friend must first appear.
"Why~are we waiting, sir?" he de-
manded, his tone cold and formal.
Something has occurred to detain
Price," answered Mahaffy.
The colonel and Ware exchanged
looks. Again they spoke together,
while Mahaffy watched the road. Ten
minutes slipped by in this manner,
and once more Fentress addressed
Mahaffy.

tanned him7" he inquired, the ghost
of a smile curling his thin lips.
81 don't" said Mahaffy, and relapsed
into a moody and anxious silence. He
held dueling In very proper abhor-
renee, and only his feeling Of intense
but never-declared loyalty to his
friend had brought him there.

PeriIs of OverdeIicacy.

A bridegroom gave his best man an
envelope.
Hand it to the parson after the
ceremony" he said, "but don't do 1t
ostentatiously."
The best man followed instructions,
but it seems that he performed his
task too covertly, for the father OF
the bridegroom, after the pair had
departed, believed that an omission
had occurred and quietly pressed
banknote into the minister's hand.
But he also was too secretive about 1t,
and before the party broke up the
brides brother felt called upon to
draw the minister aside and thrust a
$1O-bill upon him.

CLOSEST POLO GAME
In Potomac Park Tourney
Played Yesterday.
WEST POINT WAS VICTOR
Beat Fort Myer Team by 614 to 4.
Philadelphia Troop
Here Today.

The Fort Myer polo team was de-
feated in the tourney in Potomac Park
yesterday by the West Point COM
bination by the closest score made in
any game played, 81 to 4. The con-
test was hard fought from beginning
to end, and decided the possession Of
the Hugh Legare consolation cup. The
Washington team. which was to have
played the winner of yesterdays match
for the cup. was compelled to withdraw
because Of a lack Of ponies.
Secretary Of War Stimson and Assist
ant Secretary Scofeld watched the game.
Several other army officers were present.
The first accident of the tournament
took place yesterday Lieut.. Rumbough,
whose fast playing did much to keep his
team in the running, was riding hard at
the ball. and leaning far from the saddle
he struck so hard at the sphere that he
lost his balance and fell beneath his
mount The instinct of the pony, which
caused him to this feet high in the
air over the fallen players PROSTATE
body, saved the plucky young officer from
injury. After few minutes he remount-
ed and finished the game.
Brilliant Plays Made.
There were several pretty plays made
during the contest.
Following a quick goal by Lieut.. Allen
in the fifth period, Lieut.. Downer took
the ball In series of beautiful drives
under the shadow Of the West Point
goal He had outridden the entire field
and had the ball to himself AS he swung
his mallet to hit the ball through the
posts, his mallet head flew of. and he
was forced to let the ball lie, from where
ii was soon knocked back to the end Of
the field. Capt. Darrah made a pretty
pickup of the sphere few seconds later.
but lost the ball In front of the Fort
Myer goal. Another West Point player
sent 1t back to him, and he knocked a
clean goal. Two beautiful plays by Lieut..
Zell then carried the ball to the Fort
Myer goal for the second time, where
it was knocked out as the whistle blew.
In the last period Of the first half Fort
Myer made a determined effort to score,
a goal for that team being twice saved
by the splendid back-hand strokes of
Lieut.. Zell. who hit the ball on the bound,
when 1t was under the shadow Of the
crossbar. The Fort Myer team would

second point Of the day.
