WHEN s helly

| WHEN s h ely
| w Brant, owner
of the Shoestring
cattle outfit, died
suddenly and with
out warning. Seth
B r u n d a & e knew
that his goose was
cooked. He was
old; had been with
Shelly as a rider
for 48 years; had
been schooled in
the old-time code
of the ge,
W a ISN'T used to
modern people.

his erstwhile teller of bloodthirsty
tales standing alone, a grieved look
on his face.
Didn't get to first base" Seth told
himself disqustedly as he stalked to-
ward the bunkhouse Didn't believe
word of it. Well, you can't say
didn't try
An air of detection settled over the
ranch. The reason, of course, was
Seth'S departure. There wasn't a
hand but Sensed it was now a matter
of days before the shake-up would
come and the old man would be let
out. And, in spite, of his best ef-
forts to appear cheerful, Sets spirits
sank to new low
by jinks. I'll try another angle"
he told himself IN fix myself up
like a dandy. Take bath. mebbe."
And the next day he carried out the
idea, riding into town and purchasing
silk shirt and chaps, a snow-white
hat, new boots. Two hours later he
again presented himself before Shell
ly, I'd.
Now. lookee here, young Shelly, you
gotta keep some one to look after the
cattle, some one who knows the ropes
around here, an can run things right.
Well, otter know better'n any one.
L"
Young Shelly closed his mouth,
which had fallen open at sight
OF the strange apparition of Old Seth
in dude cowboy clothes.
Good Lord. Seth, you look like
window display"
Seth's face fell. Failure again.
Well, he'd played his last card. Moth
ing else he could do, nothing more
than the supreme sacrifice of sub
stituting these smart dude things for
the comfortable attire he had known
all his life. "All right he said dis
mally. 20. K. young Shelly. Thought
mebbe you might have a place for an
old man like me. Foolish, I guess
Don't blame you much, either"
Place for you!" Shelly, I'd, ex-
ploded in astonishment. why, good
heavens man. you're the last man In
the world I'd think of firing Why,
you're part of the ranch. You're the
atmosphere. You're what we need
more than anything else. Only you
won't look after the cattle No, sir.
You're going to hang around here and
tell stories. Like the one you told
of Black Tandy. That's what the
dudes want more than anything.
That's why can ask such outlandish
prices-because of you. There's only
one thing I insist on: Throw away
that absurd costume you're wearing
and get into your own clothes and
look natural
Old Seth gulped. BY gum!" he
said. by gum! I guess I bin keepin'

Great Names Among Winners.
Since the beloved DR.. L. Lee Hardin
won the first championship back in
1905 many famous golfers have stroked
their way to victory in the Middle At
lantic championship.
Among the previous winners are
such nationally famous stars Of the
links as Roland Mackenzie, George
Voight, Billy Howell and Warren
Corkran. Back in 1923 Albert r.
Mackenzie defeated his son Roland
in the final round Of the tourney.
Voight, thrice . member Of the
Walker Cup team, won the 1926 and
1927 tournaments and Howell won
in 1880 and 1881.
One Of the strange anomalies Of a
queer game is that neither Roger
Peacock. Washington's top golfer be-
tween 1881 and 1885, nor Chandler
Harper. three times Virginia State
champion, has won the crown.
Levi Yoder Of Kenwood won the
tourney in 1886.
