pression of supreme satisfaction delightful to contemplate.

His crowning triumph came on the thirteenth hole, in which he drove the
green and found his ball laying within a foot of the cup, from which
distance he easily negotiated a two which won the hole, and, as it
subsequently developed, the match, Wallace holding the best ball of
Carter and myself even.

Harding made the round in 106, which is ten strokes better than any of
his previous records. He tried in vain to induce Wallace to take some
large sum of money, but this strange young Scotchman positively refused
to accept more than the regular rate for a lesson.

LaHume left, bag and baggage, early this morning, and I doubt if
Woodvale will see him again. His membership is for sale, and at a
special meeting of the board his resignation was accepted. He seems to
have been the villain of this diary, but really he is not a bad sort of
fellow, save for a strain of tactless selfishness. I presume that his
good looks eventually will win for him some unfortunate heiress.

Had he remained here until this evening he would have been treated to
another surprise. Wallace took Miss Lawrence's high-powered automobile
from the garage, and, after a preliminary run of several miles in which
to become familiar with certain new devices, swung it around the club
house and up to the landing steps with the easy skill in which he
handles a mashie.

As Bishop says, he certainly is "a most remarkable hired man."

Miss Lawrence, Miss Ross and Miss Dangerfield soon appeared and, with
Wallace, started on a trip which was to include a call at Bishops, and
later a spin down the old post road and back by some circuitous route.

It is only a week from to-day until the meeting of the directors of the
N.O. & G. I shall then know whether I am to be comparatively a financial
nonentity or a man of affairs. And then I shall know something of vastly
more importance!

THE TORNADO

Early Monday morning Mr. Harding took a train for Oak Cliff, where he
had an appointment with Mr. Wilson. He made a remark to the effect that
his mission pertained more to business than golf. Mr. Wilson is
president of the bank through which the "Harding System" transacts most
of its financial operations.

"You can do me a favour, if you will, Smith," he said. "I shall stay
over night in Oak Cliff. We have visitors coming to Woodvale to-morrow
evening, and I should be back here to dine with
