The manager began a hasty and rather mixed apology on behalf of the hotel for| what had occurred in the dancing room, but hig tone of annoyance! was an accusation in itself. It was Plain that, to his mind, the catas- trophe on the eighteenth green out-| weighed in importance whatever! may have led up to it. That was| something actually tragic, some-| thing frightful, appalling; it involved the good name of the hotel and af.| fected the world’s golf title. | “Very—unfortunate,” he lamented. | “We haven't heard the last of it,| by any means. McLeod may file a| protest. And there is something to “be said on both sides; rather a nice question, in fact.” “Prob'ly so,” the father agreed. “An’ I got something to say about it, too, Get that dancin’ professor off the place quick or I'll kill him.” The manager recoiled; his startled eyes searched Briskow’s face in- eredulously. “I—beg pardon?” “I ‘ain't heard my kid’s side of the story yet, but I'm goin’ to see her now, so you better get word to that jumpin’ jack in a hurry, That is, if you want to save him.” we ROX BEACH OS }next morning when WOR RR WAR OLD3 rene | that matter; but I believe he is suf-| fering some effects from the shock I coultn't well ask him to go. be fore “IVIL take me prob'ly 20 minute talkin’ to my girl, ‘That'll give him time, if he moves fast, But I may get thru in 15 At the door to his sulte Gus Bris kow d to wipe his countenance clean of the expression it had worn for the last few minutes, and when he entered tt with his usual pther friendly smile, Allie and her r Were waiting; they were white and silent, Gus kissed his daughter be fore saying | Don't worry, honey; he won't bother you no more,” Allie averted her face, Mra.

Later, perhaps— Now at that very moment the| lobby was filled with tournament| golfers who were leaving on the} morning train, and Briskow knew it. He studied the speaker with an| expression that caused tho latter extreme discomfort; it was much the same expression he had worn the| night before when he had served warning upon Delamater. “Lemme get this right,” he sald. “You can talk’ straight to me.

But I'll ask Jack A’Spandy and Jack Be Nimble and Jack Sprat and Jack the Piper and Jack the Giant Killer and Jack A’Nory and Jack of Clubs, If none of them saw her, she can't be here at all,” Pretty soon he came jumping back, swinging his club, "No one in Jack Town has seen her,” he said, “I'm sorry.

Meats and heavy foods give way to vegeta- bles, salads and ices. And this is just the time when there is danger of running too low on energy foods—the daintiest and most “summery” of which is The Energy Spread for Bread Just “standing the hot weather’ takes energy. Every heart beat uses up energy. And every out- door sport calls for increased energy. The energy we use in work and play is now accurately measured in calories, and all the) energy we expend must be re- ati in food calories —energy ood. Food scientists have figured that aman at moderate work uses up about 2500 calories a day. A housekeeper in light work uses about 2000 calories. That the ever active boy of twelve or so uses 1500. And that a football player uses up about 500 calories to the hour. Nucoa supplies about 4000 calo- ties to the pound, so is about the most economical energy food you can buy, dnd is so reacily digested it is ideal for hot weather. | For a delicious picnic sand.
