day before the quah, ing -ound he spent
with me in localities averaging four miles
from the Ashtons'. On Monday we played
together.
4I've got two possibilities this week"
he said, as we started. "This competition
is one, and contract for cement up in
Duchess County is the other. I've shaved
it down to the last sou, and if l don't get
it this time I'm going to jump off the
Brooklyn Bridge and say: Here goes
nothing!' Oh, don't take that too seri-
ously-I mean, I've got to get away with
both of 'em-that's ALL"
Whereupon he drove two hundred and
sixty yards straight down the course, and
the tournament was on.
Narrower qualified, but didn't. Never
theless, / wasn't displeased, because now
/ could exercise the commonest function
OF an inferior, which is to follow better
man around and advise him how to play
his game. And | was especially anxious
to help Narrower in his first match, which
happened to be against Ted Ashton
For once, luck was with him. 1t
trampled on his heels. OF course, it was
unfortunate that Narrower had all his
luck dShluSU leu, WHO was ucSpcTdueiy
anxious to win. And the irony Of the
morning round was that among the spec
tators there wasn't soul who wasn't
pulling for Ted to win.
narrower took lead of five holes to
lunch with hint was certainty.
WE ate together in silence, Narrower
and l. When he lighted the one cigar
allowed him, he looked at me with dry
smile and said: peggy wasn't out there
this morning, was she?"
@No. She met Ted few minutes ago;
suppose she'll want to see the finish this
afternoon.
Il wish she wouldn't, he said irritably.
at won't be any circus for me to trim
Ted with her looking on-and it certainly
wouldn't be much fun for me to lose."
"Forget It'll" / told him. "This is
contest. The man who deserves to win is
the one who comes out ahead! Let's
smoke on the veranda."
At one end of the veranda was shady
niche containing settee; and here we
rested in silence. Below us on the lawn,
completely hidden, was another settee.

victory should have permitted to linger
there.
Nobody on earth could beat me
a think you're right, old top! Keep
steady!"
"If lost now, it would look too fishy."
"Fishy! Criminal"
"I'm sorry" said Narrower, as he pre-
pared to drive. "Still, you never can tell
i generally blow up about here"
He won from Ted Ashton at the very
last hole; and he won because, as he
himself had said, nobody on earth could
have overcome that lead, even when he
honestly tried to lose. Not once, but
twenty times, l saw him glance first at
Ted, wet and shaken, then at Peggy
and then absolutely ruin shot which any
ten-year-old could have played better
with croquet set. 1t was perfectly OBJ
vious that he was doing his level best to
But he'd overlooked one contingency. 1t
was physically impossible for him to be
as bad as Ted.
His victory was received by the club
without excessive congratulations; all
Warwick had rather hoped to see Ted the
champion, and wasn't overjoyed to find
him eliminated in the first round.
"Francis," l said to him, later in the
evening, edo you know you're natural
born IDIOT"
Narrower laughed. "How so?"
"Don't be evasive, old top. know"
@You think you know lot"
IL know! And it was bully of you
but, just the same, I'm glad you couldn't
do it,"
Narrower looked at the floor.
"Why-the poor kid wanted it so bad
ly: it meant more to him than to me-"
"Oh, rubbish! You weren't thinking
about him! A golf tournament isn't an
entertainment for charity!"
He Redeemed.
"Well, tit got to me all Of sudden, !"
he confessed. 81 was just booming along
