Figuring that the week of

for the British amateur and the
week beginning June 81 the time

Boston is working up a golfers
tour which will land its patrons
in England in time to play in or

include a visit to the battlefields

a tour which will land his party
on the other side early in June
and back in this country early in
July, with the amateur and open
championships and the battle
fields trip included, will be
mighty attractive to golfers who
desire to 20 abroad.

He had not eaten since morning. The
smell of the coffee and bacon whetted
ken his appetite. Still, when the SOL
itary supper was finished and the
| time came for that delicious moment
of relaxation that falls at the end of
the evening meal, all unaware the ST.
lence crept out upon him, deepened, in
tensified by the throb of the night-the
drone of the beetles; the frogs across
the river in the bayou; the lap of the
waterfall; the lonesome wall of
whip poor-will back in the woods.
The silence rode him for some time
before he wakened to the fact. When
he did awake to it, felt himself in the
drift of it, he sprang up resolutely
shook himself free. The dishes needed
attention, but the cool evening was
so inviting that he stepped out of the
cabin, thinking to sit upon the door
step while before putting the things
away.
The moon was not due till midnight,
but the sky was already spiked with
stars; and so blue and deep that it
appeared to have no bottom. A good
to see clear through.
The Pearlhunter's eyes were good,
but they lost themselves in the bottom

him as he lounged against the cabin
wall, and he blinked back at them. |
Finally the lap of the waterfall became |
to tangled in the drone of the beetles |
that the one could not be told from |
the other; the wall of the whip poor |
will and the buster of the frogs blend |
ed into close harmony. The sky grew |
so deep that the dizzy stars fell in; |
the water fall and the beetles, the
frogs and the -poor-wili, lost
themselves somewhere behind the hills
away in the south; the Pearihunter
leant hard against the house logs.
They all came back after while;
the waterfall and the beetles; the
frogs and the whip-poor- willard with
them, the creak of oars. The bottom
grew again in the sky; the stars came
back out of the deep azure. The mans
eyes opened. 1t was the sound OF oars
that opened them. For the first mo-
