But Miss Steele undoubtedly had
her suspicious. Captain Lockett
was a constant visitor at Sunny
ridge, the handsome home OF the
Steeles. He plainly showed his In
terest IN the tall, handsome Nancy,
and whenever possible he rode and
drove with her. But
"Devvy" also rode and drove. And
"Devvy" also played as good polo as
ever. Rumor has 1t that there were
times when Miss Steele resented his
devotion to his game. She might
want him to win the cup, but she
also wanted his attendance on her
to be more faithful. This attitude
was not logical, but Miss Steele was
q woman.
There was no third person present
when Captain Lockett urged his
claim on Miss Steele, but, as In the
case of Mr.. Milburn, 1t is possible to
piece out the conversation.
"Will you marry me? I adore
YOU" was undoubtedly the tenor Of
the Captains conversation.
And there is no doubt that Miss
Steele said: II will marry the man
who wins the polo cup. If the Brit
ons win you will win me, but II the
Americans win Mr.. Milburn will win
me-"
And now we come down to the
day the last game was played in the
tournament.
The American team had won the
first game. one Of the most spec
tacular and thrilling games ever
fought. The Britons were as de-.
termined to win the second game
as the Americans.
But no one was more tense dur
Ing the sixty minutes play than
Nancy Steele seated In her fathers
box In the club enclosuer. When
Captain Lockett made on of these
astounding back-hand plays and sent
"Devvy" Milburn hurting down the
field after the ball, Nancy's hands
clutched her parasol and her cheeks
6lushed red as roses. There were

world had no idea that before their
eyes there was also being played a
delightfully."- idyllic love game. Not
one Of them knew that heart was
to go with the cup. Miss Steele and
her lovers (for there We're two OF
them) kept the secret well.
And more than one secret was
thus kept, for not until this moment
has the name Of the rival English
man been mentioned. No. Miss
Steele steadfastly refused to tell, but
finally one of her closest friends
whispered to one Of her closest
friends that the unlucky man WIS
that wonderful backhand player,
Captain Vivian Lockett, of the In.
dian Army.
1t was a rare contest, a contest
that would have put to shame the
knights Of old who fought for their
ladies' hearts and favors. Never in
the earliest days Of romance did
brave lover fight more bravely;
never did defeated rival take his
defeat more gamely.
But how did this all happen?
Miss Steele's polo enthusiasm Is
not OF mushroom growth. She be-
gan to follow the game long before

Match and Con the Right the Countess

Nancy has gone back to her first
love-" said her friends.
But, you see. Nancy had never de-
serted her first love. She was
merely going on with it. But now
she had new object in view. Being
a wise young person she knew that
II she was to marry polo player
she would have to make her choice
from among the men who would
play in the interna honal matches.
And necessarily her choice was linn.
tied, for only two Of the American
players were unmarried, and the Eng
lish team at the time was not formed.
With 80 charming and delightful
maiden as Miss Nancy following the
games so interestedly, there could be
but one outcome. The good-looking
back on the team, "Devvy" Milburn,
an, 1t pleases you, fell desperately.
strenuously IN love with Miss Nancy,
and there were soon evidences that
she was losing her heart to him.
But she was strong-minded young
oharmer, and intended to test her
lover before promising to love, honor
and obey him.
OF course there was no third or
fourth person present to hear what
Mr.. Milburn said to Miss Steele or
what Miss Steele said to Mr.. Mil.
burn on the day that he put his fate
to the jump. But the events that
have transpired since that time
make 1t possible for us to recon
struct that conversation.
II love you. Will you marry me?"
were undoubtedly some Of the words
used by the lover.
Eyes, perhaps-that is, will If
you win the polo game" were I'M
doubtedly some of the words used in
Miss Steele's answer.
Very we'll, then. "Devvy" knew
that his task was comparatively
easy. All he had to do was to keep
the Britons from winning the tour
nament! ."And that will be a clnch,"
said "Devvy," the greatest polo back
in the world.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-07-13

But hist! Another factor enters
this exciting game of hearts and
polo. A year ago, when Nancy was
visiting her sister, the Countess de
la Cree, In France, she met tho
most charming English officer, home
from India on leave. His name was
Lockett, and he certainly could talk
as well as play polo. He found the
American beauty keenly interested
IN his game and himself. He be-
came interested in her, not only be-
cause she was beautiful and fasci-
mating, but because 1t was rumored
that she had vowed to marry only
a great polo player.
The fact that she was Charlie
Steele's daughter, and sure to in.
herit several of his millions, did not
count so very heavily with the Eng
hshman. In fact, not once have
these millions affected either Mil
burn or Lockett. Millions and ro-
nance never go together.
But alas! In the midst of a very
interesting friendship that might
have terminated happily, orders
came which sent the Indian officer
back to his company in India.
Miss Steele returned to America.
And now, you see, We are back
again to the point where Mr.. Mil
burn is put to the test-where he
finds that he must win the cup II he
would win the lady.
He puts such force into his prac-
tice game that he wears out his op-
ponents and his ponies. And in the
very heat Of things word comes from
the Duke Of Westminster that WV
ian Lockett, of the Indian army,
will be one of the team sent here to
fight for the cup! But, naturally,
"Devvy" did not know that this an
nouncement would materially affect
his love affair. He did not know OF
the impending menace to his love 70.
nance. He did not know that what
he thought was q twosome would
become a three-cornered game the
instant the Briton landed on Long
Island.

nament from the Britons and the cup
was kept in this country Nancy said
to herself that only man fitted to
win that cup should win her heart.
But all this time she was going
about having the usual jolly time
that girls Of her wealth and social
standing have in this country. Her
sister Eleanor fell in love and mar
ried a French nobleman, Count Jean
de Ia Cree. Nancy was one Of the
bridesmaids. Her only criticism of
the new brother-in-law was that he
did not know thing about polo.
Last Winter Nancy came out. Her
debut was one Of the important
events Of the New York season. She
danced and dined and skated and
hirted generally, but there was no
one man with whom her name was
seriously connected. But early in
the Spring, way back in March.
when the practice polo games began,
1t was seen that Nancy attended
every one Of them, no matter how
cold the wind that blew over tho
Hampstead plains.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-07-13

tense moments throughout that game
that made her heart flutter loud
enough to be heard way over on
the field. At least she thought so.
Then came the last period when
the score stood one half goal In
favor Of England. 1t looked very
much as though Nancy would become
a British subject by marriage. Then
In the very last ball or the last
period Lockett himself fouled Larry
Waterbury and the BrItons were
penalized the half goal and the vic.
tory went to 'Devvy" and his team.
Lockett after all gave "Devvy" his
bride!
The announcement that Miss
Steele would marry "Devvy" was
made the day after the cup was won.
And everybody said that it was just
what they expected. But you see

only the closest friends knew the
secret of the double love affair.
Mr.. Milburn has had more than
one promising love affair. A few
seasons ago when Miss Eleanor
Sears was playing polo with a mems
team Mr.. Milburn devoted himself
to her so constantly that an en-.
gagement was fully expected. But
although "Devvy" taught the athletic
Bobby all she knows about polo and
although she has always attended
every big game when "Devvy" play
ed, still she refused to reward him.
And he has naturally turned to an.
other for comfort. There Is a
rumor however, that the strenuous
Bobby does not like having "Devvy"
find comfort so soon!

idols in the polo world. He Is a

objects, he said, are as follows:

To increase the contentment and

days under the regulations.
Col. Charles NJ. Candy, of the Medical

failed to make the ride today, according
to a statement made at the Wood
