The Blind Mans Eyes

plain who they were, Mr.. Santone:
for I don't know. But-whoever they
were-in doing this, he laid himself
open to attack by them. They were
watching-saw him enter here They
attacked him here. Wallace switched
on the light and recognized him; so
he shot Wallace and ran with what
ever he could grab up of the contents
of the safe, hoping that by luck he'd

all his shoes in his ROOM"
During the report the blind man felt
his daughters grasp on his arm be-
come tense and relax and tighten
again. Then, as though she realized
she was adding to his comprehension
of what she had already betrayed, she
suddenly took her hand from her IA
theirs arm. SantOine let the servants,
at his daughters direction, help him
to his room. His daughter stood be-
side him while the nurse washed the
blOod-splotches from his hands and
feet.

"Yes."
You don't agree with Donald, do
you THAT Mr.. Eaton went to the
study TOTO get something, and that
whoever has been following him found
him there and-and Interrupted him
and he killed Cousin Wallace?
Santoine was silent an instant
"That seems the correct explanation
Harriet" he evaded. "If does not
fully explain; but it seems correct as
far as it goes. If Donald asks you
what my opinion is, tell lin it is
that"
He felt his daughter shrink away
from him.

now. even to the irretrievable between
man and woman-had brought her,
that is, to the state where, no matter
what Eaton was or did, she must suf-

accusing himself now; he was feeling
only the fulfillment of that threat
against those who had trusted him
with their secrets, which he had felt
vaguely after the murder of Gabriel
Warden and, more plainly with the
events of each succeeding day, ever
since. For that threat, just now, had
eliminated in his presence in puf-

in his blindness had been unable-and
was still unable-to tell what that
action meant.

Try a pipeful

Not that it will be any better than
the Edgeworth you buy in a store, but
we want you to have your first Edge

You may repay us by finding that
Edgeworth just suits your taste. And
if it doesn't-for there are some few
men to whom Edgeworth is not just
the thing-there's no harm done.
We are glad enough to send free
samples in the same spirit that we'd
hand you our pouch if circumstances
permitted. We wish it were possible
to save you even the little trouble Of
writing for Edgeworth.
Edgeworth is a.likable smoke. Men
who have tried it and found it to be
the right tobacco for them never
think of smoking other tobaccos.
They'll tell you there are many good
tobaccos-and there are. And when
you offer them your pouch with
stranger" tobacco in it, they may
use up a pipeful just to be friendly.
But notice how quickly they get
back to their beloved Edgeworth!
Day after day Edgeworth fans write
to us. They tell us human little
stories, friendly anecdotes centering
around Edgeworth. Often it is the
number of years they have smoked
Edgeworth that prompted them to
write.
Knowing how hard it is for the aver
age man to write letters, we consider

The development of modern lawn

at five feet.
Radical Changes Made.
Various experiments in court di

being much longer than those of the
glass shape. There was no standard
size and people were everywhere
playing the game according to their
own ideas. The hard ball of indoor
tennis was found unsuitable, as 1t did
not bound high enough, and was soon
replaced by a hollow rubber ball into
which air was injected through soft
rubber plug attched to the inner

sewn on the outside.
Out of this chaos there suddenly
appeared. in 1874, a set of rules issued
by the Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club
of Wimbledon. where an enthusiastic
little crowd had been experimenting.
These rules were Immediately accept
ed as standard on both sides of the
water. The height of the net, the size
of the court and the rules of plav

B. Warren Corkran of the BaltimoDe
Country Club, Maryland state cham
pion, will pair with another promi-
nent amateur of Maryland against
Jimmie Roche of Elkridge, Maryland
open champion, and Willie Scott. pro
at the Baltimore Country Club, in
the inaugural foursome.
The course is laid out on rolling
land near Chesapeake bay, and nine
holes more are under construction, to
make layout that will be the equal
of any in the south.
Diversity of shots and accuracy
are the two main objects which the
course architect has striven for and
has achieved, according to men VINO
have been oyer the course. No two
holes are alike, and the good golfer
will have use for every club in his
bag by the time he has completed
the circuit.
About fifty Washington golfers
already have engaged cottages at
Sherwood Forest for the summer and
will spend their week ends playing
at the course.
Well trapped greens and rolling,
well turfed fairways afford the real
golfer a chance to do battle with
par. The fifth is claimed to be one
of the finest short holes in this sec
tion of the country. In a niblick shot
overlooking the bay. To the right

The sixth and seventh each are
about Ats yards, giving the long hit
ter opportunity to go for the green
in two shots. while the eighth and
ninth are really testing holes.
Next Sunday a foursome composed
of prominent Washington golfers will
go to Sherwood Forest and play il
