the atonalPo
Match, the Countess de la Geze.

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 the
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 it 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
lishman. 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 OPP
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 ro
nance. He did not know that what
he thought was a twosome would
become a three-cornered game the
instant the BritOn landed on Long
Island.N

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 flor 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 was
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 a 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

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 a new object in view Being
wise young person she knew that
if she was to marry a polo player
she would have to make her choice
from among the men who would
play in the international 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 so charming and delightful a
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, it 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 a strong-minded young
charmer, 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 it possible for US to recon
struct that conversation.
Il love you. VIII you marry me?"
were undoubtedly some of the words
used by the lover.
Eyes, perhaps-that is, will II

doubleday some of the words used in
Miss Steele's answer.
Very well, 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 cinch,"
said "Devvy," the greatest polo back
in the world

Ing the famous silver trophy in this
country-he was playing to win a
girls heart. With that silver polo
cup went the heart and hand Of one
OF the prettiest girls in America,
Miss Nancy Steele, daughter of
Charles Steele, who is, one Of the
members Of the great Morgan firm.
Every spectacular dash down the
field that ''Devvy" made scored one

counted one against the British
player who had entered the li9s
against "Devvy" the player as well
as "Devvy' the lover.
Every time "Devvy" passed the
ball to Larry Waterbury, thus help

tional goal plays, "Devvy" scored an.

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.

FIGHTS BETWEEN
MACKS AND SOX,
SAYS HUCHEY

NETROIT. Jan. 3.-Hugh Jen-
nings is out with another
prediction. The red headed
leader of the battered Bengalts is
starting in early to cast bouquets
at his opposing American league
rivals. In an interview he comes
out tlat-footed with the assertion
that the 1913 tussle for the Ameri-
can bunting is between the Ath-
letiCs and world champion Red
SoX and that it is going TO be q
fight all the way.
The frcCkled- faced Michigan pilot
can not see where the Washing
tons are going to cut any alarming
figure in the scramble for the rag.
In fact, Hughey does not think
that Griff and his hustlers are GO
ing to do as much next year as they
did this. He figures that the Boss
tons are sure to be as strong as
last summer. if not a bit better, and
that the Athletics are going to be a
mighty tough proposition for any
team TO lick in the next campaign
He says that Mack. having torn the
evil roots from his clogged ma
chine. the AS will be better and
faster in 1913 than they were in
1911.
Jennings also opines that Joe
Tinker is going to have the time
of his life in turbulent Redland
Unless Tinker has an iron clad
contract with Hermann and can
do as he pleases in running the
Reds, Joe's life is going to be one
merry round of embarrassment,

should take the ball route.
He never reached the clear alti-
