'o"S''0o' do her part.
Tom went to his room, washed up
and changed his clothes. When he
came back most OF them were playing
bridge, and Alice looked up from her
table
MY, what a prince charming!
Remember, girls. I saw him flrstl
Come, come, Ralph, make room, you
don't like to play bridge"
But I don't" Tom glanced at
the young man who had left the chair
You'd better 60 ahead" he smiled.
She's a gal that always gets her
way"
Tom sat opposite Alice. She was
even more beautiful when one got
closer to her A radiant, strong,
vibrant beauty; a beauty that asserted
itself.
I'm AFRAID you won't find me 4
very good partner. I don't play
much" Tom apologized
Never excuse yourself" said Alice
lightly, I'm bridge or anything else.
That's what I've learned Show peo-
pie what you can do and If they don't
like it, let 'em do something about it!"
Tom picked up his cards and kept
his eyes down. He remembered the
last job he had applied for, how he
hesitated, uncertain, not sure that he
could do the work, saying frankly he
wasn't sure, but offering to do his best.
They wanted some one who was sure.
It wasn't only that job-it was every
thing-Tom never was sure of himself.
The next morning Tom met Alice
early. She was in bathing suit and
she made him go back and change
into his. Tom found she was as pow
erful swimmer as he.
I'm going back to the city this
evening, you know" she said later.
I've got to get back in time for my
Monday classes at the university, and
the train will just about get me there.
How long are you going to stay down
here?"
Il don't know, L"
When you come up call me and
we'll go swimming at the university
beach. Or are you going to be down
here all Summer"
mo, don't think I'm going to stay
here all Summer"
After Alice and the crowd with her
left, he walked back to the house, and
came to the place where he had fallen
asleep. He remembered the peaceful
ness Of 1t, the rest. He remembered
Alice, the vibrancy. the drive, the
| assertive power. :. She couldn't have
really cared whether or not he called
her. she was probably just having fun;
he wouldn't call her, he felt sure 1t
wouldn't do any good-and If it did,
and If he saw her, then the peaceful
ness, the utter peacefulness into which
he sometimes escaped, he would never
know again.

eyes close, he felt the wind about his
race, there was a warmth in his
tlredness, and he fell asleep What
ever dreams he had were more like
delicate tints than anything else.
1t was night when he awoke, and
colder, he could see the stars peek
ing at him through the rustling
leaves over his head. The cold was
beginning to bother him, so he got
up and rubbed his arms and walked
down the slope to the house.
Others had arrived that afternoon,
they had come while he slept, and
they sat around the front room of
the house, half-do2en young men
and women. If he had known, he
would have come in through the back
way. Not that his uncle or aunt
minded, but his clothes were mess
and his hair stood on end.
There he Isl" A girl in q tight
fitting red dress pointed at him, and
they all looked up. Tom hesitated,
end smiled.
I'VE saw you," the girl in the red
dress laughed. She had very blond
hair and very blue eyes. "They
wanted to wake you. but I wouldn't
let them. You looked so peaceful,
you made me think of shepherd boy
asleep after long, weary watch
over his flock"
THE other laughed. They were the
sort OF Well-dressed, expensive
looking young people who usually
came down to his uncle's cottage at
the seaside to spend week or a
week end. He never felt comfortable
with them; that's why he hadn't
wanted to come, especially now after
he had been out of Job for so long.
But .ais uncle and aunt insisted They
said the rest would do him good and
assured him they'd find more than
enough work for him to do to repay
for his room and board.
"Alioe, you're embarrassing the dear
fellow" a young man spoke up. He
smoked a cigarette from the end of
an amber holder.
"Oh, no, I'm not" the girl said
"Am I?''
mo, no, I don't think you are
Tom answered. He was looking into
her eyes and now he turned his head
away and glanced at the others. They
were smiling.
Wont you sit down and join us?
Alice invited.
"Im-Im afraid not-you see l.

began. -.---.,...s

COTTON IS HAILED
TRUE LINKS GREAT
Seen in Class With Jones,
Vardon, Hagen, After
British Open Win.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ ~ARNOUSTIE, Scotland, July
10-Henry Cotton, the man
\ nobody even pretends to
~ know, is ready now to take
his place alongside Harry Vardon,
Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones among
COLTS immortals.
1t has been suspected for several
years that Silent Henry belonged in
that select circle. He left no further
doubt about it when he shot that final
II in pouring rain yesterday to win
his second British open in four years.
Reg Whitcombe. the man he beat in
that closing burst of pure brilliance,
said: That probably was the greatest
round Of golf ever shot under similar
circumstances"
When he won in 1894 with sue
cession of sub-par rounds that made
everybody dizzy, Cotton had only two
American stars to beat. Gene Sarazen
and Denny Shute. This time he has
trimmed the entire American Ryder
Cup team. He made it so conclusive
1t wasn't even close.

HE Isn't popular at all, yet invari-

want to see him blow up. What they
see, though, is man who can drive
approximately as far as any man who
ever hit a golf ball and whose short
game is maddening in its consistency
When you follow Cotton. you've seen
golt as it should be played,
Cotton will make close to $4,000
out OF the open championship, whereas
Charlie Whitcombe admitted at lunch
Yesterday it wouldn't be worth more
than $4,000 to his brother Reggie, who
was leading at that time. Cotton
IS an unsociable cuss, but he has
glamor.
NOBODY ever will be able to explain
adequately what happened to Amer
lca's red-hot young Ryder Cup men,
put here are few hints:
In the first place, none of them
ever had played a course quite like
Carnoustie, where they could hit q
Soo-yarder straight down the middle
and find themselves in 4 bunker as
deep as box car.
Another thing, the entire American
contingent was too intent upon play
ing It's wide range of spoons. There
used to be only one spoon, but now the
manufacturers apparently are turning
them out in myriads of models. In
stead OF playing their irons as in days
OF yore. every American you'd see was
trying to put No. or No. S spoon
on the green. Mostly they missed
them.

PARTLY restoring the prestige Of

had been somewhat clouded the daY
before, when two of the four were
beaten, the Misses Clarke and Moore
yesterday advanced to the final round
by beating the two who had forced the
elimination of the two other favorites.
OF yesterdays losers, Anne Ellis,
who had eliminated Mrs. Robinson,
the seeded No. entrant, proved the
most stubborn. carrying Miss Moore
to 8-6 in the first set before bowling.
60, in the second Although she
lost only 3 points in the first three
games of the match, Miss Ellis was
unable to sustain the pace Sara rail-
lied to take IL OF the last Is games for

compIished more than any un-

Victories over Frances Grimes and
Edith McCulloch, however, give Elinor
cause to mark the 1887 District as
red-letter tournament in her life.
Miss Clarke, incidentally, has
reached the final round almost as
easily as did Barney Welsh in the

OF her five victories have come by
