S Thus it chanced that one summer day when apparently he was examining the hotel register at Pinehurst he was fa reality scanning a young girl who e waited for her mail. "Best record made this season." ob- ^ served the clerk 'impersonally, but , . pointing to the name of Misg Stuyve- ? sant on tne open page. Therefore Armstrong decided to 1 join the golf club, and though piqued F by Miss Stuyvesant's unconcern of c him as a new member, he yet fell in F love with her as she strode over the e Unks. He entered the tournament, and was drawn to play with her. In- t timacy begun on a golf basis forth- e with proceeded into the more subtle c ways of moonlight seances. He even 1 lent her a book. She analyzed its t contents without referring to its mar- e ginal notes in his handwriting. So v he put it in the fire. "Do you know r what I did with it?" he asked her. "Keep it for the next girl: golf is t lots better than books."she answered. 11 warding off the implied tenderness in s his tone. a Then, of course. Armstrong decided to offer himself in golf terms, and 0 having arranged his formula, took 1 her to drive. ' There are other than * golf prizes to be won by you," he be- ' gas. L "What are they? I'll 50 in for f them." t "Myself." As he uttered the word c Its absurdity occurred to him, and letting his horse go at full speed he r ejaculated, "I didn't mean that, you * were the prize I wanted to win." The v horse tore down the steep hill. "Hold him in. can't you. you boy!" 1 exclaimed Miss Stuyvesant. Seizing a the reins she drew in the animal. ( 3 As it walked slowly up another hill s Armstrong recovered. "I beg your c pardon, but mother never let me ask 1 anybody, and I didn't know how: 1 can't you try to like me?" he urged, meaning to catch hold of her hands 1 Instead of the reins. The horse c started afresh. c "Hold him in," 3he ordered. "Yes, if you will like me: if you * 1 trill mu:alF C VIUU I, X OUH11 ttiii 1UJ gw??.. FT a moment it seemed to Miss * Stuyvesant very terribie to be re- c sponsible for another's life or death. * yet, as her sense of justice made her indignantly decline to accept either. s the steed plunged forward and would 1 not be held in before reaching the I hotel. Consequently Armstrong left it. on 1 the pretense of letters calling him to 1 'Atlantic City. There he recovered * from his wounded vanity through the wiles of a maiden who, judging him 1 to be a dude pessimist, considered him fair game either for her mischief or her sympathy. "Will you not join in our Sunday . singing?" she entreated demurely. j Whereupon Armstrong quickly ( found that from the piano to the ( piazza was but a short distance to a j blighted being and an enterprising t maiden, and that life appeared cheer- t nffor? fo/A Tl'ftQtc nf C*f\ I f tolL- * " you believe that love springs up in , the heart at the sound of a voice?" j he inquired Miss Bruce on? day , when they were sitting together at j the piano. , "Try A," she replied, striking the ] note on the keyboard. I "I first fell in love with your voice . and then with yourself." he coutin- , tied languidly. 8 "A man's just saying he loves a ( girl is not very definite nowadays." "Then in plain English, will you | marry me?" ( She ran her fingers lightly over the , keys, which he tried in vain to prevent. "You do me too much honor; I'm greatly surprised: but I can't for two reasons. First, because you are yourself; second, because I was engaged to-day after breakfast: it is to be announced at lunch: won't you congratulate me?" "After you have destroyed my faith in womankind?" "Say sex. Mr. Armstrong: it is a commoner term." and bowing, she left the room by one door and he by another with a mock dignity that gave aft ay the inwardness of the scene to the waitresses who had been peeking iu at the window. Again did Armstrong resort to the ruse of letters receievd as excuse for his immediate departure to Long Isl-' and. "I never had an offer: I wooder how I should behave if such an |J event" happened to me." he overheard II ">ne girl saying to another the morning after his arrival. Instantly Armstrong resolved she should have the opportunity of knowing. Assiduous- 4 !y he cultivated her acquaintance mtil she was goaded into asking him vhat he had ever done. ^ "Nothing much; only taking care TJ )f mother. What I shall do depends )n you." ' 'Do you mean you want to marry Tie?" Delighted at her freshness he broke orth into ardent words. ipi 'Oh don't. Mr. Armstrong." she nterrupted: "really I couldn't. You ;ee. this is my first offer, so you von't be vexed at my question, and I lon't know how men do it. I'm sorry f you care, but I'm goiug to college tnd to have a career, for. when the our years are over, there will be hree in the medical school and I ;ouldn't study well if I were?in ove." "Then von dr> rare for me?" "No. really I don't care a bit. You tre very nice, but not the kind of nan a college graduate wants. You lon't mind, do you?" "Yes, I do; but mother always told ne never to marry a college girl: rivolous girls, she said, made better vives." "Good morning. Mr. Armstrong." "Good morning. Miss Raymond." Six months later Armstrong's lancee showed him a brooch she had eceived from three of her college riends. It was a golf stick resting >n a bar of music with the college deice below. "Confound such bad taste," mutered Armstrong, angrily, rememberng that the three girls to whom he lad offered himself were at Psyche College. Could they have told each ither of his futile endeavors??Bos- R' on Post. n?
