I tried to convince him that the pleas
ure had been all mine and then in
quired for Mrs. Titus and the countess.
"They're both here, but the good
I,ord only knows where. .Mrs. Titus
goes driving every morning. Roads
are fine if you can stick to them.
Aline said something last night about
riding over to Fassifern this forenoon
with Amberdale and young Skelly.
Let's see, it's half past 10. Yes, they've
gone by this time. Why didn't you
write or telegraph Aline? She'll be
as mud as a wet hen when she finds
you've come without letting her know."
"I thought I should like to take her
by surprise," I mumbled uncomfort
ably.
"And my son Jasper—why, ho will
explode when lie hears you're here. |
lie's gone over to Covington to see u
girl off on the train for Louisville.
You've never seen such a lio.v. He is
always going to Covington with some
girl to see that she gets the right train i
home. Rut why are we wasting time I
here when we might he doing a few j
holes before lunch? I'll take yo?i on.
Of course, you understand I'm a i
wretched player, but I've got one vir-j
tue: I never talk about my game and
1 never tell funny stories while my;
opponent is addressing the ball. I'm j
an okl duffer at the game, but I've got
more souse than most duffers."
We sauntered down to the club I
house, where he insisted on buying me j
a dozen golf balls and engaging a I
caddy for me by the week. I'p to the j
moment we stepped up to the tirst tee
he talked incessantly of Aline audi
Rosemary, but the instant the game'
was on lie settled into the grim reserve I
that characterizes the man who takes!
any enterprise seriously be it work or j
play.
I shall not discuss our game further I
than to say that he played iu atrocious-.
ly bad form, but with a purpose that
let me to s<>tiie degree into the secret j
of his success in life. If I do say it my-1
self lam a fairly good player. I don't
believe I was ever in better humor |
than on this gay November morn. I i
even apologized for Mr. Titus' execra- j
ble foozles. I amiably suggested that |
he was a little off Ills game and that j
he'd soon strike his gait and give me j
a sound beating after the turn. Bis
smile was polite, but ironic, and it
was not long before I realized that he |
knew his own game too well to be af
fected by cajolery. He just pegged!
away, always playing the odd or worse, |
uncomplaining, unresentful. as even j
tempered as the May wind, and never j
by any chance winning a hole from j
me. He was the rarest "duffer" it has j
e\ er been my good fortune to meet.
CHAPTER XXVII.
_he Proposes.
AS a rule, the poorer the player
the louder his execrations. Jas.'
l per Titus was one of the worst j
players I've ever seen, but b° I
was the personification of gentility |
even under the most provoking circum
stances. I'or instance, at the famous
"Crater" it was my good fortune to j
pitch a ball fairly 011 the green from i
the tee. His mashie shot landed his|
ball about twenty feet up the steep hi!' !
which guards the green. It rolled half
way back. Without a word of disgust
or so much as a scowl he climbed up
and blazed away at it again, not once,
but fourteen times by actual count.
On the seventeenth stroke he triumph
antly laid his ball 011 the green. Most!
men would have lifted and conceded
the hole to me. He played it out.
"A man never gets anywhere, Mr. |
Smart," said lie. unruffled by his mis- !
erable exhibition, "unless he keeps
plugging away at a thing. That's my
principle in life. Keep at it. There is j
satisfaction in putting tiie blarticd ball
in the hole, even if it does require
twenty strokes. You did it in three,
but you'll soon forget the feat I'm not
likely to forget the troubles I had go-!
ing down In twenty, and there lies the j
secret of success. If success comes I
easy we pass it off with a laugh: if it
comes hard we grit our teeth and re
member the ways and means. You
may not believe it, but I took thirty- j
three strokes for that hole one day last
week. Day before yesterday I did it in
foar. Perhaps it wouldn't occur to you j
to think that it's a darned sight easier j
to do it in four than it is in thirty- 1
three. Get the idea?"
"I think I do. Mr. Titus," said I. j
"The things that 'come easy' are never I
appreciated."
"Right, my boy. It's what we have
to work for like nailers that we lie
awake thinking about."
We came out upon the eminence i
overlooking the next hole, which lay j
far below us. As I stooped to tee up
my ball a gleeful shout came up the
hillside.
"Hello, John Bellamy!"
Glancing down, I saw Jasper junior I
at the edge of the wagon road. He was;
waving his cap, and even at that dis
tance I could see the radiance in his
good looking young face. A young and I
attractively dressed woman stood be
side him. I waved my hand and shout-!
Ed a greeting.
"I thought you said he'd gone to
Covington to see her off." I said, turn
lng to the yynng man's father, with n
grin.
"Not the snme girl," said he succinct- \
ly, squinting liis eyes. "That's the lit-'
tie Parsons girl from Richmond. He
was to meet her lit Covington. Jasper
is a scientific butterfly. He makes
both ends meet—nearly always. Now. ]
no one but u genius could have lixed it j
up to see one girl <i(T and meet another i
on the same train."
Later on Jasper junior and I strolled
over to the casino veranda, the chatty 1
Miss Parsons between us. but leaning I
a shade nearer to young Titus than to j
me. although she appeared to be some
what overwhelmed at meeting a real 1
live author. Mr. Titus, as was his
h;ibit, hurried.on ahead of us. I alter
ward discovered he had a dread of |
pneumonia.
"Aline never said a word about your |
coming, John." said Jasper junior. He I
called me John with considerable gus- J
to. "She's learning how to hold hc-r
fongiie."
"It happens that she didn't kn"w I
was coming," said I drylv. He whls
tied.
"fhe's off somewhere with Amber j
dale. Ever meet him? He's one oi
the flr-ist chaps I know. You'll like
him. Miss Parsons. He's not at all like
a Britisher."
"P.ut I like tlie British," said she.
"Then I'll tell liira to spread it on .1
bit." said Jappy obligingly. "Grentl
horseman he is. Got some ripping ]
nags in the New York show next week, j
and hi- rides like a dream. Watch him I
pul! down a few ribbons and rosettes |
Sure thing."
"Your father told me that the count j
ess was off riding with him and an- ]
other chap—off to Faslifern, I believe." j
"For luncheon. They do it three oil
four times a week. Not for me. I like |
waiters with shirt fronts and nicklel
tags."
Alone with me in the casino half ar
hour later, lie announced that it realljl
looked serious, this affair bet ween I
Aline and his lordship.
I tried to appear indifferent—a rathei'
pale effort. 1 fear.
"I think 1 aiu in on the secret. Jap
py," said I soberly.
ITe stared. "Has she ever said any- i
thing to you, old chap, that would lead
you to beiic e she's keen about him?" j
I temporized. "She's keen about!
somebody, ray son. That's as far as 1 j
will go."
"Then it must be Amberdale. I'm on'
to her all right, all right. I know
women. She's in love, hang it all! If:
you know a thing about 'em you can j
spot the symptoms without the X-rays.
I've been hoping against hope, old man. j
I don't want her to marry again."
I have visited the popular and almost
historic Fassifern farm a great many

least a year."
times in my short career, but for the
life of me I cannot understand what at- i
traction it possesses that could induce '
people to go there for luncheon and !
then spend a whole afternoon lolling
about the place. But that seems to
have been precisely what the countess I
and his lordship did on the day of m.v I
arrival at the Homestead. The "other!

at 3 o'clock. She did not return until ;
nearly 0. By that time I was in a state j
of suppressed fury that almost drove ■
me to the railway station with a slngi« j
and you might say childish object in i
view.
I had a pleasant visit with Mrs. |
Titus, who seemed overjoyed to see me.
In fact I hud luncheon with her. Mr.
Titus. It appeared, never ate luncheon.

Mrs. Titus talked ;i great deal nliout
| Lord Amberdale. She was most tire
j some after the first half hour. but. I
j must say that the luncheon was ad-
J mirable. I happened to lie hungry.
, Having quite made up my mind that
Aline was going to marry Amberdale,
I proceeded to upset the theory that a
man in love is a creature without gas
} tronomical aspirations by vulgarly
stuffing myself with half a lamb chop,
a slice of buttered bread and nine
pickles.
| Along about 5 o'clock I went to my
j room. I daresay I was sulking. A po
lite bellboy tapped on my door at half
past <». He presented a small envelope
to me, thanked me three or four times
and as an after thought announced
| that there was to be an answer, where
upon I road the countess' note with a
magnificently unreadable face.
I I cleared my throat and (T think)
j squared my shoulders somewhat as a
\ soldier does when he is being com
' mended for valor and said:
[ "Present my compliments to the
| countess and say that. Mr. Smart will
| be down in five minutes."
i The boy stared. "The—the what,
sir?"
"The what?" I demanded.
| "I mean the who. sir."
"The countess, the lady who sent you
up with this, note."
! "Wasn't no countess sent me up
byer. boss. It was Miss Tarsney."
Somehow* staggered, I managed to
wave my hand comprehensively.
"Never mind. Just say that I'll be
jown in two minutes."
j He grinned. "I reckon I'd better
: hustle or you'll beat me down, boss."

I I give you my word my heart almost
I stopped beating. I've never seen any
