Is the connecting link In a thrilling pirate story. After the famous pirate. Angora, sultan of Timor, had been dethroned by the English and had retired to the island of Ceylon his brother, Angria, took up the quirrel. He proclaimed himself sultan of another Island, Little Timor, and having received from his brother a praam, a fast boat with an armament of 38 guns, set forth to prey upon the British shipping. Eighty miles out from Bombay the pirate captured the Elphlnston, and putting the crew of 48 men Into one small boat, lefi them. Unrk-r tlsc sun they set out for Bombay, but only half of them arrived there alive. Angrla decided that any other prise weald do as well as an English ship, and his next capture was two Chinese junks, filled with spices and other valuables. He plundered both, and as an excess of cruelty ordered the crew bound back to back In pairs and thrown into the ocean. One of the Chinamen managed to get hand free end, pulling out a concealed dagger, stabbed Angria in the shoulder. The punishment meted out to him was such as only a fiend could devise. Angria ordered the skin cat off the man's back and then had him beaten with canes. Then he was lashed to a raft and thrown overboard for son to finish! the work. Strange to say, the Chinaman after three days was picked up by a fishing boat and carried to Bombay, where he lived to an old age. For three years the sultan-pirate continued his ravages on the eastern seas, and during that time it Is said that he murdered no less than 500 Englishmen--surely a fulsome revenge for the wrongs--either real or fancied --suffered by his brother. Then the British decided that it was time to put a stop to the activities of this marauder. Commander Jones of H. M. S. Asia, a man-of-war carrying 64 guns, was assigned the task. The Briton laid siege to his capital city for 12 months, and Angrla's subjects, despair ing of escape, begged him to surrender He refused, and on^of a mob which had gathered before his palace, shot him as he stood upon a balcony ha rangulng them. Jones was hailed as a hero upon his return to England, and after his death his widow built the tower on Shooter's him to commemorate his achievement (C). 19M. Weatern Newspapai Ualon.)

The player is entitled to count the ball as holed on that stroke, bnt he mast add a stroke to his score as a penalty for his ball's striking another ball of the Boatch on the putting green. He therefore scores a five on the bole. A player's second shot just clears^ a ditch guarding the green, but strikes the bank and rolls into the water. Is he required to drop behind the ditch, or can he drop on the green side, provided he does not drop nearer the hole f The player must drop back of the ditch. The rale requires that he keep the point at which the hnll entered the hazard between himself and the hole, if he drops oat of the hazard. Obviously this would mean dropping back of the ditch. There is no variation from this procedure except where peculiar conditions prompt club officials to establish a local rale to cover.. UM U»U SyadtMl* Adding 'machine rolls at the Plaindealer office.

The sparkle died oat of his vivid dark 'face. "No use talking, I haven't got the nerve to wear this to the dance--the girls would all be laughing at Ruth for having such a comic escort--and Ruth always looks so dainty and sweet-- gee, I surely am out of luck this winter, that's the truth. My other suit shines like the kitchen stove--I'U have to go to bed with a sore throat or something!" He spent all the afternoon Bponging and pressing his dark serge suit, bat in the end its resemblance to a polished stove 7?as even grvntvr than before. In a rage at his own powerlessness In the matter, he went to the telephone to let Ruth Clark know that he could not escort her to the charity dance on Wednesday. Ruth was out and he went miserably to bed, knowing that 1/ he lost the friendship of Ruth now, It would affect all of his future life. The dream of all his desires was that some day he might succeed in the business his father had left, and, with his mother taken care of, that he could marry Ruth. Of course a nice girl like Ruth Clark would never bother with a poor youth who had sank all his available money in a palm beach salt in the summer, and had worn it ever since until It had become a regular joke among the boys. At the last dance he had fancied that Ruth's face had changed a little bit when she saw him in his familiar pale suit, his chin up, handsome as Bobby Ashton always was. But beyond that peculiar flash that he had seen, Rath u<(i appeared as sweetly gracious as ever. The dance was to be on Wednesday and, by Tuesday, Bobby Ashton had fretted himself into a feverish condition. It all sounds very jsilly to an adult reader, but on these small trifles hang a life's happiness, sometimes. As Bobby went home Tuesday night, he lingered in front of a tailor shop, admiring the quiet dar^ suits hanging on the long pole. He did not see Ruth Clark on the other side of the street pause and watch him for a long time before she rau nwiluy up the street toward home. All he knew was that he would have to telephone hter that he had a cold. Then he'd go to bdd, and get, Mr. Wolland to attend the store for him the following day. It was a cowardly retreat but there was no need for him to make Ruth ridiculous. At supper he told his mothep about it. "I have wondered about it, too, Bobby--if it was only next month, Instead of this." "If," smiled Bobby. Perhaps It was his mother's worried face that suddenly changed Bob Ashton's mind. "I, tell you, mother," he said, finally, "I will go and wear the suit and if they want to laugh, let 'em!" "That is splendid--and spoken like aq Ashton." She smiled tremulously. "That's that!" declared Bobby, and getting out his fiddle played all the rollicking tunes he knew to keep up his mother's spirits. "I feel like a fool," he told himself as he went to bed, "making such a fuss over what I'll wear! If Rath is .ashamed of me--I'll get what's coming te me. Now, I wonder if those cases of sfiws will be coming along tomorrow?" And his mind drifted off on thoughts of business. Wednesday was a rather queer day for the youug iiHrdtfare dealer. Almost all the boys he knew telephoned to know if he was going to wear his palm beach suit to the dance, and when they heard that he was they usually groaned. The groans sounded genuine, too. One boy wanted to borrow his tennis flannels and Bobby gave his permission, wondering if they all had some kind of joke they were putting np on him. Never mind, he'd show 'em whether clothes made the man or not. He'd wear what h« pleased. That night his mother pinned a pink geranium In his buttonhole, and helped hfcn into the warm overcoat that hid the immaculate palm beach suit. "Have a wonderful time, Bobby." She sent him off with a very satisfied smile to stop for Ruth Clark, whose fur coat concealed some pretty evening frock, no doubt. They were late. When they entered the large hall, ijobby looked around with a dizzying {ipok in his dark eyes. Every man and youth In the hall wore light summer garments, salts like bis own, tennis flannels and shirt waists, gray flannels, white linen, while all the girls wore sifmmer sports Clothes. Even the blushing girl beside him had on a pale pink linen frock bod little white oxford ties. $ "I don't quite--understand," stam tiered Bob Ashton. "Didn't you. know that the commitiee qeclded to make the dance into a Summer costume affair? And they're going to have a maypole later and a game of tennis downstairs," added Ruth, chattering to hide her embarrassment. "And It was your suggestion, Rath," Afutid Bobby, as he lingered at the Clark * ^jpte. "Did you do it for me?" She nodded. • "Would you dO more for me. Rath-- t would you wait awhile for me?" "Why didn't yon ask mo before?" whispered. Dead Georgian JTowns Dead towns of Georgia are Old and Kew Ebenecer, Frederlca.
