The Alliance players found the

condition. The preens were an espe
cial marvel, being finished otf with a
material that showed the balls down.
The Alliance players did mighty well
when it came to driving and iron shots,
but the minute they got on the green
they found themselves lost The greens
en the Alliance course are so modeled
that the ball will travel riuite a dis
tance, but on the course they visited
every ball acted as though it had a
ten-pound weight attached to it. Even
ld stagers like Doctor Jeffrey found it
ecesRary to take an extra phot or so,

The Treasure in the

By FREDERICK CLARKE

"Ifa the law or poverty take your
choice." Kit Die stern dictum vf ob
fctlnate, self-opinionated James Boss,
uncle of Philip Curie, who stood be
fore III 114.
"I am sorry, uncle, but It'a not the
law for me." tame the clear, definite
resMnse. "I'm not rut out for It, the
business Is distasteful to me, and t
would rnilier have a crust of broad
and my artistic ambitious, than the
solemn Judicial scum! Hild a forfuue."
"So much the pinner you, so much
the richer I," quirted the olil money
grubber. "You need hunk on no de
pendence on ine hereafter. Walt."
And the speaker amipiied open a
drawer In his desk ami took from It h
small package. "That belonged to
your father. It Is legally mine, hut I
give It to you as a memento or to
waste, ns you like. I wash my bunds
of you."
Philip Tnrle made his exit feeling
that he had made a pretty bad mess
of his affairs. He undid the wrap
pings of the little parcel. It contained
a diamond ring, probably a reiunuut t-f
the wealth he knew his dead father
had once poM"Sod.
"I will never sell It," he Mid. walk
ing on thoughtfully, "hut" and he
stopiMil at the first pawnbroker's shop
he came to.
"I will loan you (hree hundred dol
lars." Its proprietor wild.
Philip took the money and turned
Into a small tailoring shop.
"Well, how Is tiuliie, Mr. Gar
land?" Inquired Philip of an old man.
tSettfiig worse. If possible, all the
time." was the reply. "I am afraid
my venture Is a poor one. Why does
not my brother come on?"
"There l the money to relieve your
present necessities." snid Philip, hand
ing over the proceeds of the lonn.
The old man stared; quick tear
arose to his eyes. He.uiy.ed heck
the generon hand extended, hut
Philip persuiidcd him with success.
He Induced his friend to make otie
more trial of his business, experiment,
and left him with eueouriiiring words
"I had to do It." Philip told hlmxelf
"I can't see Mr. Curiam lose his !'.
If It Is only for her siike dear Isabel '
How- he tins Mruggled tfl give tier a
musical education. So m-nr to acquir
ing If, too. I won't regret a good
ad."
Isabel was perfecting a musical edu
cation and ('.niliind never let her
noiv how linnl he was pressed. Fot
rer a month lie had leeii In an opti
mistic mood. He had received a let
ter from a brother, a sea capraln who
had lcn off on a two years' cruise.
It came from a distant city and on
Its heels a lare seams n's chest. The
letter announced that very soon Its
writer would follow, and that he had
come to share a royal fortune with
his brother.
I'.ut Mine then not a word had been
receive,) from the sea captain.
One week later Philip villed the
Cat-land place to find the old man
Itnimrscd In the deepest gloom. He
had rei-elvcd a telegram announcing
the death of his brother In a hospital.
The last words he spoke were trans
mitted: "Tell my brother that the
chest ai d Its treasure Is all hl-t own."
Its "treasure." according to Cat-land,
consisted of some wiilor clothes, a
few nautical Instruments and a keg
containing some oily compound of the
deep.
"it's the ei.d." said the old man de
jectedly. "My main worry Is that
your generous limn Is lost. They
threnien to sell me out tomorrow."
"It will be easy to arrange for your
care until you get on your feet again.
Mr. Carlnnil." said Philip cheerfully
"What are we going to do widi the
chest, though? Let us open It and
select what Is worth while."
"What about this?" inquired Philip,
lifting out a keif. "Why. Mr. Car-
land I"
Iteverslng the keg, the young artist
uttered a very startled eiclamatlon.
Across one end there was traced In
Ink the word: "Ambergris."
One hour later the happy old mart
knew that the old sea chest had con
tained treasure. Indeed. Worth motr
thnn Its weight in gold, the ambergris,
rare and readily salable, represented
over twelve thousand dollars.
Isabel clung Iom to the arm of the
voung man who hud so loyallv share'l
their troubles, as he escorted them f
a near hotel. The pressure of that
dear hand thrilled Philip C'nrte.
And when they parted for the night,
the decision bad been readied that
the musl'-al and the art careers should
he pursued together.
Improbable Stcy Beginnings.
As he nse to give her hie seat, the
young womi-n thanked him.
She knew that Joe was an nnselfVI
husband, and ehe appreciated every
thing he did for her.
The advertisement described th
Hllmpfon manor house as beautifully
appointed and Ideally situated. .When
they arrived at the place, they reallked
that no one thing had been exagger
ated. In the two years he had used hi
non-leakable fountain icn It had never
leaked.
