"Then well toss up" said the girl.
And where are you going to get
the paper to write on and the pencil
to write with?" asked the boy.
"We can use stones" said the girl,
both for our paper and our pencils"
So the girl and the boy each wrote
on a stone with another sharp stone,
and each showed the other what each
had written.

Adventures!
Some people tried to tell the boy
and the girl that they themselves
weren't going back but they simply
weren't going any further on. And
the boy and girl knew that they were
really going back when they wouldn't
make any more effort.
After a horrible time when the boy
and girl thought they were sinking
into the marsh, at last they stood on
firm ground and were safe. The hard
adventure was over. But this was
what happened while they were try

very wrong and that they were very

They found that all who had not

The offense of one against society was
wholly intellectual; of the other, al
most wholly physical. Gardiner fully
appreciated the difference, and in his
heart he felt a contempt and loathing
toward Rifles which he concealed only
q a matter of policy. And he had
worked out in his mind little plan
by which Rifles. when his usefulness
was ended, should be shuflled off with
out any share in the booty. At pres
ent he tolerated him because of neces-
sity. There was work before them for
which Rifles was peculiarly qualiried.
The Harrises went at once to /. Hv-
cry stable, where they arranged for =
team and outfit. They then bought
some cartridges for the gun, and a
small handbag in which to carry the
money.
When Harris presented himself at
the bank wicket and asked for the full
amount to his credit in cash. the sal
low-faced teller turned trifle paler
still and slipped into the managers
office. A moment later the manager
himself appeared before them.

amateurs started out In company with
Pat Doyle. Cyril Walker. Bobby CruiN-

other professionals but which shortly
came to an untimely end owing TO n
Gownpour OF rain.
The Mid-P1ncs course. the latest
achievement of Donald Ross, far sur
passes the Pinehurst course in scenic
beauty and will probably prove a more
severe test OF golAng ability than either
