turn In cards, due to the fact
that under the BannOckburn
system q player must qualify
for the flight to which his club
handicap rates him and no
other, there was no comment
from any source about this.
Golf was promptly forgotten
as soon as the last putt was
hOled. The other diversions are
. such to do this.
But half a dozen players yester-
day broke 80. Besides Burrows
and Basgett, the others to make
the charmed circle were John T.
Mccarthy, of Bannockburn, with
7s; Martin r. Mccarthy, Of
Beaver Dam, and Jack Riggs, jr.,
Of Argyle, with 70, and Leo Pass,
Of Bannockburn, with so.
While the above list completes
the roll-call of the. possible first
flight qualifiers, providing the
scoring today isn't unusually good,
there were only 10 others who
were under 90, among these being
Bill PendergaSt, with 81: Luther
Florine, with 81; M. H. Robb, OF
Manor, with 50, and G.. Emerson
Moore, IS.
The Bannockburn event has at
tracted entrieS from as far as Nice,
France, and as far West as Los
Angeles. A number of out-of-town
players from Maryland, Virginia
and States farther off also are
among the field of contestants.
The majority Of these are playing
their qualifying round today.
Gen. Frank r. Keefer, of Chevy
Chase, is participating in the
United states veterans tourna-

Class D, Keefer had score of

General Keefer's flight was j. r,
Terrell, Of Riverhead, with 1876

Major Earl L. Maiden, with

BY, JUNO KINERK

They're shooting at "a out at
Bannockburn today. And If they
shoot under it, despite the class,
quality and size of the field Of
players making their qualifying
test, it will be some golf.
Bradley H. (Ted) Burrows. un-
attached, Is the lad who gave the
scorers q thrill along toward mid
afternoon by turning in a neat
38-S6 card, three strokes better
than his nearest competitor, Jesse
Baggett, of Beaver Dam.
Burrows needs no further in

Florida to the national public

Of the local team and carried on

shooters attack that score today

with the condition of the course

CHAPTER IV-Continued

"Why didn't you tell me you were
as hard up as all that?" he demanded
harshly. He was genuinely alarmed.
Anything might have happened. "Why,
good Cd! girl, to think of you run
ming about over the country without
a dollar in your pocket, borrowing
from strangers"
"Tricking them," she finished. Her
face had become muted. She slumped
wearily in her chair ut is nothing

things like that so many times. But
he doesn't know. He has no idea"
"Have you returned the money he
loaned you?" Converse demanded sud-
denly.
She shook her head dumbly. HUI
initiation could strike no deeper than
that.
When they were in the taxi he took
one of her hands in his hot palm and
filled it with bills. And, loathing his
touch, she must let her own hand lie
there inert.
Presently he said. II am glad 1t
was Anstey. He's decent chap, not
likely to take advantage of such an
experience"
"Who is he? How well do you
k1luw him?"
The senator leaned back and lighted
cigarette. He was comfortable
again, feeling the situation in his
hands.
"a promising youngster, but poor.
He's after a diplomatic job and has
asked me to help him. Perhaps will
perhaps not. Depends" He gave
her a narrow glance, but her long
lashes lay unquivering upon her i'm
mobile cheeks He added in a lighter
tone: 'By the way, I'll tell Stevens
to take this out of your check when
he forwards it,"
She began to fold the money into a
neat little square pocket. "Do, please.
It will be less awkward"
Already the wall of pretense was
swung magically between them, and
she sheltered thankfully behind it,
licking her bruises, but the senator,
looking over, was well content 1t
had not turned out so badly after all.

would have a check to tide her over.
She deliberately shut her eyes to the
miracle of how this was to be accom-.
pished; the fantasy Of the stock GER
tificates had grown into permanent
institution that could always be de-
pended upon. She felt amiable and
light hearted in spite of her pallor
and the delicate languor that was q
part of her. Brians eyes made her
feel very young.
"What shall we do?" he asked,
when the pretense of tea was over.
There aren't any windows to peep
into in New York"
"What nonsense!" she cried gaily.
"There are millions! But most of
them are so hideously expensive that
we mustn't
"Not all of them,' he reminded her,
losing his smile. 'Did you ever ride
on the elevated"
She shuddered. "Don't, please!
Those dreadful windows! do not
like to think of them. No, our little
game belonged to the place where we
found it. We shouldn't see the same
things here

"Who doesn't?" she said. rising. She
could not believe that he was in

But Brian was LOOKING at the yellow

thoughtfully, ''and l wish you didn't

He came so eagerly to their APP
pointment that he must have been
counting the minutes that kept 1t
away. But he found her changed;
paler than she had been in the flush

air of WEAKNESS about her. She was

women seem to have something vague

they faced one another across the
little table, Linda spoke of the tiny
loan he had made her.
Il wanted to return It myself" she
said softly, "and that is why did
not send it to you at once"
He took the bills and folded them
away in shabby little billfold that
she noticed was rather flat. From the

that he was not very we'll off-one of

narily fragile as he handled it.
He did not weigh the import of her
words; he was much too enchanted by
her eyes. They sat there playing with
their tea, and Linda Roth discovered
that she was happier than she had
been for long time.
She told herself that this was in a
way sort of holiday. She could not
afford to play with poor young men,
however charming.
But now she could breathe freely.
She knew that Converse would keep
his word and that in day or two she

The famous clock over the en-

The clock has double face, the
hour being read both from the hall

again performs it's allotted duty.

It was exactly eleven when she
heard Brian's eager voice over the
telephone.

"Waiting? For what?"
For eleven o'clock. You said
