Farewell to Legs

allowances for the exaggeration OF a
jealous lover still smarting from
having been laughed at by the adored
object. first in hyena-like and then
in silvery manner. These things dis
tort the judgment and lend acid to the
tongue.
The truth is that Evangeline.
though perhaps five strokes in excess
of what pure-minded girl with her
handicap might have been expected to
take on nine holes, was still we'll in the
running And the resentment with
which she was seething as the result of
her ex-fiance's uncouth behavior re-
suited in her striking a patch of
positive brilliance
Every time she drove off the tee, she
did it with sort of controlled fury, as
if she were imagining that she had seen
Angus standing in the middle of the
fairway and that a well-directed shot
would catch him on the spot where it
would do him most good When she
Clipped, it was as if she were chipping
Angus. And whenever she made re-
covery from bunker with her niblick.
she hit the ball as though it we're
Angus McTavish's shin.
BY these means, she was enabled to
get fours on the tenth. eleventh and
twelfth, five on the thirteenth, and
on the short fourteenth a lucky two.
In short, by the time she had holed
out at the seventeenth, she had played
a net seventy-three. And when she
learned from bystander that her only
two possible rivals had each turned in
net seventy-nines, she not unnaturally
considered that the contest was as
good as over. The eighteenth had
always been a favorite hole of hers.
and she was supremely confident of
securing four on it.
In these circumstances, it is not to
be wondered at that she gazed at Legs
Mortimer with an affection bordering
on something even warmer. As was
his practice when wearing a false
mustache, he was waggling the ends of
it. and she thought she had never

The confidence which Evangeline
Brackett had felt on holing out at the
seventeenth had lost none of its force
at this supreme moment Every golfer
knows that sensation of power and
mastery which comes when he has Just
played series of holes in perfect style
and is conscious that his stance is
right and his wrists are right and all
things working together for good.
Evangeline had it now. She waggled
for an instant. Then, raising her club
with an effortless swing, she brought
it down.
And what of Angus, meanwhile?
For some little time after Evangeline
had left him, he had stood rooted to
the spot. For some little time after
that, he had paced the terrace with
knitted brow, reminding not few of
the members who watched him

Good morning. MIR. McTavish,"
she said "If you will kindly hand me

you to come round with me any

A swift revulsion swept over Angus
McTavish. He perceived that he had
gone too far. He loved this girl, and he
had hurt her.

St. Helena. Eventually. feeling that
he needed more space in which to
express himself, he had gone for walk
round the links, and by one of those
odd condolences was approaching the
eighteenth tee from the rear at the
exact moment when Evangeline made
her drive. And as he drew near, his
reverie was shattered by hideous,
cackling shout of laughter from the
other side of the bushes which hid the
tee from his view.
He stopped. frowning. Laughter on
the links was thing which always
offended his sense of the reverent, and
the current burst of merriment he had
recognized Immediately as emanating
from Legs Mortimer Nobody else's
mirth had just that quacking sound.
"Faughr' said Angus, and was
about to repeat the word when it died
on his lips, and he stood gaping.
There was sort of thudding sound
as of feet spurning the turf, and then
round the corner of the bushes came
Legs Mortimer, cutting out an ex-
cellent pace, and after him, her face
flushed, her eyes staring. Evangeline
Bracket, brandishing in her hand a
steel-shafted driver. She seemed to be
endeavoring to brain the other. if it is
possible to brain a man like Legs
Mortimer.

hunt just as Legs. apparently de-

1t was at this moment that Evan

here was good thing which should be
pushed along. Accordingly, he clasped
Evangeline to his bosom. and for a
space she remained there, hiccoughing.
"Oh, Angus" she sobbed at length.
How right you werer'
"When?" asked Angus McTavish.
when you warned me against that
man. DO not trust him. you said,
for somehow. somewhere, in some
manner. he will let you down, and

"And did he?"
did he not" replied Evangeline
Brackett. Il needed a five on the
eighteenth to win the medal and
asked him to get me out new ball,
and do you know what he did?"
WHAT"
T'll tell you what He put down
s-s-s-s-s-s." Anguish robbed Evan
geline of speech. In endeavoring to
frame the last word she had sunk to
the level of soda-syphon.
Angus groped for her meaning. "He
put down what?"
"A s-s-s-s-s."
"Sand?"
She shook, her head violently. mo,
no! Not s-s-s-s. A s-s-s-s-s."
"S-s-s-s-s?"
"S-s-s-s-s."
"S-s-s-s-s?'
"A soap-ball." said Evangeline,
suddenly becoming articulate.
If he had not been holding on to the
girl, Angus McTavish would have
reeled - Scotch-reeled, as no doubt
Legs Mortimer would have described
it. If his reverent nature revolted at
laughter on the links, it revolted with
far greater sensation of outraged
nausea at the sight of those cakes of
soap which manufacturers. making a
mockery of sacred things, turn out
in the shape of regulation golf balls.
And now man - or. rather, a crea-
ture bearing the outward semblance of
a man - had teed up one of the
dreadful things for girl. fragile,
