As he stepped on the train he tried to recall exactly what pretty Sallie Norton had told him at a dance the night before. She said there were several attractive resorts along the river and one Where a lot of professionz'll men and women went every summer. Unfortunately the twostep had struck up at that mo- ment, and she had omitted to mention its name. “Golf links here?" Philip asked the An unfortunate commuter who bun- dled off at the same time told Philip that the pretty little house he saw on the bill was the Iiockdale Golf club, so he made his way across the fields to inSpect it. The fresh breeze fanned his cheek, the blue river looked cool and refreshing in the distance, and he heped this was the place Sallie had re- ferred to. If, with its natural charm, it combined the advantage of making acquaintances desirable for a young man eager to advance in the legal pro- fession nothing was left to be wished for. He felt inclined to join the com- muter and ask a few more questions, only could not, in decency, without of- fering to carry some of his bundles and hated to make a first appearance in a new place bearing a bright blue box of.laundered shirts or a large gilt bird cage. conductor as the train sloweu down at a little station. “Yes. sir: finest in the country. Rock- dale, Rockaale! Don't {OI-get youx packages?’ He interviewed the club instructor, who was leaning dejectedly against a pillar of the piazza. After inquiring the requisites for eligibility Philip said: “You give lessons, I suppose?” “I can’t collect anything. Amounts to givin’ ’01:), don‘t it?” “How many members?" Philip asked. “Half an almshouse. a third of an old ladies’ home, a quarter of a state hos- pitaiâ€"tnere's that many and that kind of folks.” Philip was seated at a small table op- posite a grumpy old man dressed in a dirty flannel shirt. Among the other “guests” was an elderly woman wear- ing a very short skirt and spectacles, who hurried into the room follow ed by a fat man, who was muttering impreca- tions on things in general and golf in particular. The man had been drinking, Philip thought, as he strolled down the hill to- ward a boarding house not far away in search of luncheon. Philip’s table companion chuckled ma1i( iously. “Must be pleasant for a man and his wife to occupy a ten by ten room all summer and not be on speaking terms. She won a cup because her handicap was bigg it than his, and he won’t for~ give her.” U “The whole atmosphere appears sul- phuric,” Philip remarked. “Are you a golfer?” asked the old man. “Trying to be,” said Philip. “Married?” $.X0.97 “It is a great game for the single blessed, but every family should be without it. There is no blood or mar- ital relationship that can mitigate its concentrated bitterness. A. woman went away from here yesterday to get a divorce because her husband accused her of moving her ball. It is an awful temptation. We are all human.” After luncheon the old man asked Philip to play around the course. Philip borrowed some clubs of the instructor and they started off. The old dufler, as Philip 1n ntally stigmatized him, sent his bail tw enty- -five yards, Philip sent his seven times as many, then he and the caddyâ€"they had one between themâ€"ran ahead and waited. The dufler found his ball behind a small mound of sod, which he pounded flat with a brassy, batted the ball to the near side of the bunker, then paus- ed to consider. Three times the duffer struck his ball, and each time it leaped up in the air and fell on the ground just behind him. “Stamp on it; mash it!” cried Philip. “Why let a barrier raised by man in- terfere when you can smooth out na- ture as you did?” “I say, old man, go back to the farm and play tiddlywinks,” gasped Philip. “But I don’t need any more practice. I'm learning from observation.” The old man raised his ball and a clod of earth at the same time. “He 5 diggin’ for bait,” said the cad dy, grinning. The next time the duflfer’s ball land- ed just otf the course in a rut. Philip lighted a cigarette, keeping one eye on his opponent, and as he held the blaz- ing match before his face the old man shuffled his ball with his foot to an easy lie. “Hold on there! What are you do- ing?” Philip cried. “Nothing-nothing. I”â€" - “You moved your ball. I saw you. Didn’t you ‘2” to the caddy. “Ain’t he the Foxy Grandpa?” said the boy. “He ls a dishonest, disgusting, dis- reputable person. A man who would do that would rob widows and or- phans.” And Philip marched of! in a“ rage, leaving the dufler staring in amazement after him.

Probably lead working and particu- larly the manufacture of white lead is the most dangerous calling. In this industry it is inevitable that sooner or later the workers must succumb to lead poisoning, and there would ap- pear to be no part of the body that the poisonous fumes and floating particles which permeate the atmosphere of the workshops do not affect The com- plexion takes on a ghastly corpse-like pallor, the gums turn blue, the teeth decay rapidly and fall out, the eye- lids are hideously inflamed. A scratch or an abrasion of the skin becomes an unhealable sore. Later on, when nerves and muscles become afiected by the poison in the blood, the eye- balls are drawn into oblique positions and take on a dim and bleared appear- ance. The joints, especially the knee ‘ and the wrist, become semiparalyzed, and the whole form is gradually bent 2 and contorted. mal i ‘â€" “_ _..__ “I did you an injustice,” he said. “Knowing, as I do now, What your life in this place must be, my heart bleeds Sallie had gone away When he re- turned to town, so Philip could not tell her the result of his first venture into the world of sport, but he soon made another and that time scraped the ac- quaintance of a youth on the train who gave him some information worth hav- ing. for you.” “If you are looking for golf come to Sunnysideâ€"going there myself. The links are good, and you will find a lot of nice people.” “I spent an afternoon at Rockdale recently,” said Philip, “and found the oddest collection of cranks and farm- ers imaginable.” “Cranks perhaps, but not farmers,” satd the youth, laughing. “The most distinguished doctors, lawyers, poli- ticians and scientists in the state go there and all the literary and progress- ive lights in petticoats.” “Good heavens! All my discrimina- tion must have escaped,” Philip ex- claimed. In the autumn Sallie was again vis- iting their common friend at Whose house Philip first met her. They fell deeply in love with each other, Philip asked Sallie to marry him, and she went home to tell her father about it. Soon afterward Philip was invited to dine at Judge Norton’s house in Or- ange. The lovers had a few minutes’ talk before dinner. “Father says you won’t be able to support a wife for years,” said Sallie sadly. “We are young enough to wait”â€" “But he says in New York without a ‘pull’ a young man isn’t likely to suc- ceed ever.” “Doesn’t he want a young partner to relieve him of the petty details?” “Well, you see, there’s my brother Samâ€"he’s a sophomore and will he graduated in four years, if he’s drop- ped only twice more.” They found the judge and his son waiting for them in the dining room. After greeting Philip cordially Sam in- troduced him to his father, and, to his blank dismay, Philip found himself shaking hands withâ€"the duflfer! There was not, however, the faintest gleam of recognition in the judge’s eye. Philip thanked heaven he had grown a Vandyke beard since their last meet- ing‘. At the end of the dinner Sam and Sallie left l’hilip to speak his piece to their father. “You took a mean advantage of meâ€" as if a man is ever expected to play fair when he is OK for relaxation in the summer!” The judge was greatly agi- tated. “I would have given anything to prevent having Sam told that,” he continued. “The effort of my life has been to inspire him with absolute con- fidence.” “It was your moving the ball that im- pressed him. He said he would despise a man who did that, even if. it were his own father.” “Judge Norton, I want to marry your daughter,” he said. “How do you propose to support a wife?” inquired the judge. “I shall work for her”â€" “To all appearance,” interrupted the judge, “you are without influence, for- tune or the semblance of a clientele. No, young man. ‘Go back to the farm and play tiddlywinks.’ ” So the 01d duffer had known him after all. “By the bye.” said Philip, after an in- stant’s hesitation. “I was telling Sam about our game of golf.” “You held me up to ridicule before my son!” “But, don’t you see, I couldn’t tell Sam the man’s name? I didn’t know it myself till tonight.” “How about my marrying Sallie? You said you would give anything to prevent Sam knowing you cheated at golf.” The judge winced. “We’re. all human, remember. I might be tempted to tell him the man’s name yet.” “Upon my word, I forgot that!” ex- claimed the judge, immensely relieved. “No, noâ€"not on any account! I’ll gladly give you Sallie”â€" Necessary.
