 She could read him like Barometer. If he and Mir. Hilgus, the Real Estate Man, came home together fifteen feet apart, stepping high and looking straight ahead, she would know it had been Jolly Day on the Links.

THE CLOSED DOOR
By GEORGE ELMER COBB.

I had not friend In the city. l had not q dollar in my pocket. Everything in the WHY of honest employment had failed me. That is how l came to be Il burglar, or rather came near to be- ing one. Let not the superman de spiSe me for this confession. My theme will show how cratic is the whrligig of fate. how at the brink ot temptation and sordid crime an in- stinct of innate sympathy came to wayward, erring one and redeemed him at the crisis of destiny.
 It was by haphaZard that I became visitor 70 q den where thieves and cracksmen congregated in their idle moments. IL was through curiosity, watchfulness and keeping my ears open that I gathered up knowledge of the clever ways of the crook, that I realized how easy il was to make enough at one big haul to start life anew in some remote community, for get the incident and acquire n new plane for honest existence. All this was n fallacy. for my deviation from the path of rectitude would have sure | ly held me in the tolls that never let ] free a criminal once started on the downward path. In my case peculiar l circumstances operated to lead me back to the path called Straight.
 To my story: I had found in the
 den one night q small, neat-looking case someone had negligently left ] there, and when I got with it to my l own room I found it to contain a 1 superb kit of burglars tools. The
 modern cracksman no longer carries clumsy bag. As I inspected the choice

l The latter went along. just out of i Politcncss but he was good deal dis appointed in his Friend. It certainly did seem trifiing for n Huskie weighing l one hundred and eighty to pick on something about the size of Robins Egg.
 Mir. Pallzey played Gallery all around the Course. He would stand behind them at the Tee and smile in q most arid and patronizing Manner while they sand-shuiIled and shifted and jig gted and iogGled and went through the whole Calisthenic Ritual of St. Vitus.
 He was surprised to note how far the Ball would speed when properly spanked. but he thought there was no valid excuse for overrunning on the Approaches.
 Mir Pallzey found himself criticizing the Form of the Players. That should have been his Cue to climb the Fence

 He sauntercd up to the silly Globule and took an unpremeditatcd SWipe. The Stroke rang sweet and vibrant. The ball rose in pnrabolic Splendor above the highest branches of q ven erablc Elm.
 Just as the Face of the Club started on the Following Through. the Bacil- Jus ran up and bit Mir. Pallzey on the Leg.
 He saw the blinking White Spot far out on the emerald Plain. He heard the murmur of Admiration behind him He was sorry his Wife had not been there to take it in.
 'Lcaye me have another Ball" re- questcd MT. Pallzey.
 The Virus was working.
 He backed up so as to get Running Start.
 "This time" quoth Mir. Pallzey, "I will push fl to Milwaukee"
 Missing the Object of Attack by scant six inches, he did Il Gence toe spin and fell heavily with his Face among the Dandelions.
 The Host brushed him off and said Your Stance was wrong; your Tee l.

 "If I come out next Sunday could you borrow me Kit of Tools?' asked Mir. Pallzey. He was twitChing violent | ly and looking at the Ball ns if it had | called him a Name. "l got the first one all right, and think"
 So it was arranged that the poor doomed Creature was to appear on the | following Sabbath and be equipped with a set of Cast-offs and learn all about the Mystery of the Ages be- tween II q. m. and 2 ?. m.
 Mir. Pallzey went away not knowing that he was Marked Man. l On Monday he told the Stenographer how he stuug the Ball the first time up.

/UII with his Hair neatly set X6NcD back around the Ears and /f1lNA the usual Blood Pressure YF1l &l was whizzing through q a1sdAS suburban Lonessmeness on a teetering Trolley. The name of the man was Mir. Pallzey. He had desk with a Concern that did merchandising in large way.
 MT. Pallzey feared Socialism and carried his Wife's Picture fin his Watch and wore Plasters. Tn other words, he was Normal, believing nearly every thing that appeared in the Papers.
 While the Dog Kennel was softly brushing the Foot-Board and the Motor was purring consistently beneath, MT. Pallzey looked over into q elose-Cropped Pasture and became the alert Eye-Wit- ness of some very weird Doings.
 He saw a pop-eyed Person in soiIed Negllge, who made threatening move ments toward something concealed in the White Clover. with a Weapon re sembIing the iron DinguS used in goug ing the Clinkers from q Furnace.
 "What is the plot of the Piece?" he inquired of q Grand Army man. sitting next.
 'T think" replied the Veteran, "I think he is killing a Garter-Snake."
 'Oh, mo-" spoke ID the conversation al Conductor. "He is playing Golluf," giving the word the Terre Haute pro nunciation.
 Mir. Pallzey looked with pity on the poor Nut who was out in the Hot Sun, getting himself all lathered up with One-Man Shinny.
 He said to G. A. k. that it took all kinds of People to make q World. The grizzled Warrior arose to an equal At titude by remarking that if the dag roned Loon had to do 1t for n Living, he'd think 1t was Work.
 Mir PallZey had heard of the new Diversion for the Idle Rich, just as people out In the Country hear of Milk Sickness or falling Meteors, both well authenticated but never eneoun- tered.
 While rummaging through she Sport ing Page he could come across cryp- tie Reference to MacFearson of Drum tochtie being 8 tip and . to play on Hargis of Sunset Ho, whereupon he would experience Il sense of Annoy ance and do quick Hurdle.
 He had seen in various Show-Win- dows the spindly Utensils and snowy Pellets which he had reason to be- lieve, were affiliated in some way with the Sickening Fad. He would look at them with extreme Contempt and rath- CT resent their contaminating contigu- ity to the Mask, the Shin-Guard, and the upholstered Grabber.
 Mir. Pallzey believed that Golf was played by the kind of White Rabbits who march in Suffrage Parades, wear ing Gloves,
 The dreaded Thing lay outside of his Orbit and beyond his Ken. the sane as Tntting or Biology. His conception of keen and sporty game was Pin Pool or Jacks Only with the Deuce running wild.
 One Sunday he was invited out to a Food Saturnalia at Country Place The Dinner was postponed until lnte ir the Day because they all dreaded 1t sc much.
 Friend Host said he had twosome on at the Club and was trying out ar imported Cleek, so he invited MT. Pall Sey to be Spectator.
 If he had said that he was going TIT in Balloon to hemstitch couple ot Clouds, it would have sounded just as plausible to Mir. Pallzey of the Whole sale District.
