Baker.
How do you do" Margaret said
politely. "Auntie says you are a very
nice little girl"
Thank YOU" replied Patty. trying
to keep the disappointment out of her
voice. 81 hope you have a good time,
Miss Baker"
won't you come too?" asked Miss
Baker. But ! suppose you want to
spend Thanksgiving with your own
folks"
Patty at last got away and she was
pretty mad IT'S Just awful" she
cried. "Now, what shall We do?"

replied her sister. so | put my think
ing-cap on. How about Willie and
Tillie DouEherty? They have no
mother and I'm sure they need
Thanksgiving cheer"
Patty thought Willie and Tillie were
q very good idea, so Pinto's head was
turned around again and they raced
off to the other end OF town and drew
up before a neglected frame house.
Grace had Patty hold the reins this
time. while she went to knock. No
body answered, so Grace returned to
her sister.

ahead OF them. Both men wore khaki
and old felt hats pulled down over
their eyes.
"Tramps!" whispered Grace, in
startled voice.
Il know" cried Patty. "Tramps al.
WAYS need cheer"
Grace agreed to share with these
unknown tramps. but she did not
want to speak TO them. so they de-
eided to gallop past and then set the
basket down with a note on It for the
men to pick up as they came by.
Patty got out her little silver pencil
and note book and wrote in a neat
pretty hand: "A merry THANKSGIVING
to YOU both" The note was pinned
TO the hamper and then Patty set II
on the side of the road where .hs
tramps would be sure to see K.
Trot. trot. trot. and they were home.
As soon as ever they turned in the
gate Eugene ran to meet them cry
ing; "Oh. have you come back!"
He seemed so glad Grace began TO
believe he had been lonesome. so she
squeezed him. and they all went into
the house where Mother was Just set

tahle-that is. half Of il.

And both girls knew she was g,ad so
thev went and hugged her.
Suddenly there was a great hanpjpy
at the front door key ratified and in
stalked two dusty figures, one of them
carving a big hamper.
THE tramps!" gasped Grace then
she began to laugh.
TITS Dad and Robert" cried Patty
and Eugene as they flew to the weary
couple.
What happened?" asked Mother
looking scared.

"We'Ve decided that cheer begins

Patty. cit makes the day seem so

Mrs Holden smiled approvingly at
her two daughters as they fiuttered
over a large hamper which they were
filling with good things The idea
had been Grace's. Since their big
brother, Robert, and their father could
not be home for THANKSGIVING. the
girls decided to share their treat with
some less fortunate than themselves.
There was Mrs Malvina Higgins. who
washed for them and had so many
children. Grace was sure that half
turkey. pies and fixinrs ought to be
very much appreciated there.
"Can go too?" asked little Eugene.

their pony-cart.
"Oh. you don't want to 60" said
Patty. "we'n be hack soon anyhow

"Besid.'s who would there be to

in Grace.

Patty thought il would. and as they
were very intimate with the Dough-

right to open the unlocked front door
and spread the feast without invita-
tion or permission. But they were
scarcely inside when they heard a
low deep regular sound. They peeped
into the living room and there in the

All the holes are laid out with the
.heory that well placed drive OF
tremendous tee shot that is on the
great carry will get home on the
seventeenth. It takes q player of the
Ted Ray stamp, however, to drive this
green. as the shot is all carry.
In Well Laid Out.
The third hole is laid out in very
pretty fashion. A brook practically
parallels the line Of play to the left
the tee shot must also not be too far
on the line to the right or 1t will be
trapped. The hole is $40 yards in
length. Correct play requires a tee
shot well placed slightly out toward
the right center Of the fairway. A
find woods to the left and may go out
Of bounds.
The drive should be long enough to
get nearly to the top Of the hill from
which the green can be seen. Other
wise the second shot is apt to be
large. To the right and just short of
the green Is bunker. while on the
left side Of the green is a series Of
grassy mounds. Out of bounds stakes
parallel the fairway all the way to the
green.
Tenth n Great Test.
The tenth hole calls for all that Is
best in the golfers repertoire. Four
hundred and forty-one yards in length,
it's mere distance is eimost enough to
daunt the player who expects to get
home in two shots. Yet the well hit
tee shot will get a long run down a
hill from the tee, from which an iron
shot ought to find the green.
The tee shot should be played well
out to the right to open up the hole
otherwise bunker 160 yards from the
tee must be carried. The second shot
