"NERVE" MATCHED HIS PLAY
Golfers Remarkable Luck Almost
EquaIed the Remark With Which
He Followed 1t.

A member Of the Washington
American league team, who had al
ways pretended-to regard golf as
game for old men and crippled wom-
en-, was persuaded to try his luck at
the sport. Almost the whole club
went to the first tee to see him drive
off.
What have I got to do, caddie?"
he asked of the boy who went with
him.
you drive off from here" said the
caddie, pointing to the tee, "and
you're to put the ball in that little
hole with the flag flying above 1t.
I'll 60 on and mark your ball"
The caddie did so, and the ball
player, with proper deliberation. drove
off. BY an extraordinary stroke of
luck he drove a beautiful ball, which
landed just on the edge of the green,
and slowly trickled down into the
hole. The caddie, wild with excite
ment, came dashing back, shouting:
You're down in one-the balls in the
hole!"
"Well," said the novice, nonchalant-
ly, I'm glad of that. At first I was
afraid 1 might have missed It,"

not answered. With a muttered excla-
nation. the stranger retraced his
steps. and. walking directly past Hol-
ton In the other direction. leaned over
the railing and whistled again.
Holton never afterward knew what
possessed him, but he noticed that the
man had left the front door slightly
ajar. Acting upon quick thought. he
suddenly leaned down, unlaced his
shoes, and then, with quick glance
at the fellow still leaning over the
railing and cursing under his breath.
he stole from his position, made for
the open door, and slipped hastily and
nolselessly into the hall.
A light with a deep red shade was
burning here and the shadows 1t cast
were heavy. The door Of the room In
to which he had been peering was half
open. and across the hall. directly op-
posite. was a corresponding room, the
interior Of which was not lighted.
Into this apartment, scarcely breath
ing. Holton stole. standing inside the
jamb and listening with strained ears.
Before he could adjust himself to the
sense OF what was being said, the man
who had emerged from the door when
Holton was on the veranda returned
into the hall, closed the door and en-
tered the lighted room. He was at
tired In the uniform of a captain In
tho navy. and his entrance seemed to
quiet somewhat the ardor of the argu-
ment.

the city cannot long endure a siege?"
The voice was deep and authoritative.

response.

the rejoinder. I'VE seem unanimous. Do

There was chorus Of assent.
Then Hoilton heard a voice that he
recognized; a voice that sent thrills
down his spine and caused him to
loosen his revolver in its holster.
"Shafter's army alone would not suf-
fee. But l know that General Miles
with reinforcements will soon be here,
and I know, also. that while General

New Willard.

'Is this true?" she whispered tense

words as a drowning man drinks in

Here, after night of aimless
stumbling through the blackness and
through the rain, he had CHANGED upon
the very place of all places where in
formation most valuable to his coun-
try's success was to be obtained.
The voices had fallen to a hum and,
strain his ears as he would. he could
catch no more than fragmentary SEN
tences. Some one went out at the
door. and presently the sound of
horses hoofs was heard on the shell
driveway. Three men departed, and
then Holton heard the scraping Of
chairs and the rattle of glasses, as
though those that remained were pre-
pairing to spend some further time In
their present quarters.

He turned to confront the young
woman he loved.

CHAPTER xI.
A Close Call.

Holton's first instinct was to utter
the girls name; but flashing second
thought came to his rescue, and he
broke into a volley OF Spanish ejacu-
lations. AS he went ON she stood re-
garding him flxedly, and finally, seeing
peculiar expression settle upon her
wonderful face, he paused.
"Mr. Holton!" Her voice was low,
almost cultural.
Holton sprang toward her.
Miss La Tossa-Ranee!" His voice,
too, was low, qulvering with emotion
She stepped back, and, pointing her
finger at him, repeated with blazing
eyes her first question.
What are you doing here?" Then
she stopped and looked at him. DO

She reached up hastily and extin-
guished the lamp she had lighted

Presently he came to street which
presented vista of a long line Of
ftrcet lamps. Evidently 1t led into
Che heart Of the city. Holton followed
1t past stores and houses. until at
sength he stood in the patio before the

machinery was working overtime. The
