Inif. IK not Imitate: you can't do the

principle your same will develop Itself
and you will be surprised at the Im

When It comes to the final and a
championship Is at stake we find two
players left. One or the other must
fall. Which shall It be? Both are
fine golfers. Of course, we have our
choice. Does the better player win?
Were we convinced? Far from It. At
this point I wlh to brlnir you to the
aerret of match play. I call It a secret,
because the player Is doln thine
Just now that he Is not In the habit of
do!n. and he does not know or rcallie
why he Is dolnn them.
In referrlnir to the final match 1 will
a-tve to you aome facts not realized by
many players. I will call one of those
p'ayera No. 1. He drives a very Ions:
ball and he la very itood with his Iron
atrokes. and he Is alao a pood putter.
Now we shall take No. I. He does not
drive as lone; a ball as No. I. He Is
fciao trood ou bis Iron strokes, but a
little uncertain about his putting. Here
Is where I shall acquaint you with the
art of Imitatlnr. This Is the uncon
scious fault of match play. No. 1
tarts with a. beautiful drive. He Is
applauded by the gallery. No. I take
his position on the tee. and while he Is
addressing the ball he hue for the mo
ment forgotten that No. 1 was alwaya
a locger and better driver than he.
Tkaae l-aaa: Drlrea.
This slip on his part is his undoing.
The stroke of his opponent, the ap
plause from the leoplo. turn his mind
In that moment and Instead of driving
the way he always had been doing ho
Just follows Nj. 1. The result Is the
Impossible Imitating. Show me the
player who Imitates and I will show
you a loser. This applies to all strokes
In match play, on the tees, through the
Kretu aid on the putting greens. Let
your opponent drive 300 yards If. he
can. It Is not i.ccessary for you to
drive ten yards farther.
If he mnkes a good approach shot,
dead to tl.e pin. r!o not try to do bet

Remember, he can't always do this,
and every mistake he makes is a sain
for you. Keep to this principle always,
for the tenel'it of your own game. No
matter what a-iyrnc does, don't try to
do the same. Once you do. you are
drawing away from your own natural
Ranie, and it .s not encourag ini? for
anyone.
Continue always with your driving
even if it doesn't get the dYtance yout
friends get. Distance will develop in
itself without your knowing it or put
ting any more force to the stroke.
Tlay all your strokes as well as you
can; forfet the gallery and your part

Immediately to I'll 1'nna T. Morley'a
chauffeur that thee were the same
Nw York women who had bought the
options, and that they had come to sell
the tiun fcnaloe Company some laud.
and that there was a millionaire here
that wanted to buy the privilege of
lighting and heating and furnishing
power lo Boston with Hang Sun En
gines: and thai his. tho chauffeur's
bead was ao full of parent company
talk that he didn't dare take another
drink or he'd be too dizzy to drive.
BOSTON MILLIONAIRE
Those were the two words whlch, In
great, black letters, spread across each
front page. Told all about it. too. The
millionaire had purchased from the In
ternational llang Sun Engine Company
a JO-day option to form the Boston
Bang Sun Engine Light. Heat &. Power
Company, with a capitalization of )."
(0.000. I. ".00.000 of which were to be
come Ihe property of the International
Bang Sun Engine Cou-.pany. in return
for doing business under the Bang pat
ents! And the Boston millionaire had
laid fSOOO for 30-day option! In cash!
There was another Important Item in
the paper. The Bang Sun Engine Com
pany had paid 170.000 for the Pinkus
hlllnlclel And they would probahly pur
chare, from the ame parties, other val
uable, sun aputa!
Seventy thousand dollars! Morley
turned toe color uf an olive, as he con-
sldered that price for the worthless
Pinkus hillside: and then he went back
to the larger and more appalling par
ent company transaction.
The International Bang Sun Engine
Company, though having a million-dollar
capitalization, had not been put to a
dollar's worth of expense, except for
the furnishing of cilices and a trifling
bit of clerk hire. It could have no ex
pense. All the income of this parent
company was "pure velvet." Already,
in the first stapes of Its existence. It
had taken In t.'iOon net cash profit, and,
moreover, it owned $51.0"0 worth of
stock In the Clnderburg Bung Sun En
gine Light. Heat & I'ower Company,
over "(127,000 worth of slock In the
American Bang Sun Enrrine Manufac
turing Company, and over $2,500,000
worth f stock, tentatively, in the Bos
ton Jiang Sun Engine Light. Ife.at &
I'ower Co:r.par.y! Think of It! Nearly
$3.ri0.0ii0 worth of stock, in other and
necessarily cood dividend-paying com
paniev. In return for an outlay which
was almost nil. The parent company!
Morleys mouth fairly dripped as he
thought of it!
A man si lia!d that a near-sighted
porter had once mistaken him for an
arc lamp came into the Commercial
F-ank just at the time of opening and
presented a check drawn by Mr. Daw

Ihe patriotism of all true Americans.
The spirit recalls a thrilling episode
In the maintenance of the tiignlty of
the Nation and protection of the m
cied rights of our citizens.
This Incident occurred In 185J and
grew out of the attempted capture of
Martin Kozta by tho Austrian In the
harbor of Smyrna.
Kozta was a Hungarian refugee who
hail, tikin an active part in the revo
lution in Hungary In 1S48 and upon its
euppresftlou. through the military In
tervention of Kussia. he was declared
a "traitor" and sentenced to be exe
cuted. He escaped, however, lo the United
Stales, where ha declared his Intention
of becoming an American citizen.
Later, while on a commercial trip to
Smyrna. Turkey, he was seized by Aus
trian officials and conveyed on board
an Austrian frigate, then anchored In
the harbor.
Notwithstanding the vehement pro
test of the United States Consul, as
serting Kozta' right as a citizen of
the United States, and also the protest
of the Turkish Governor, denouncing
the seizure as an invasion of the sov
ereignty of Turkey, the Austrian com
mander refused to surrender him.
claiming him aa an Austrian subject
condemned to death for treason
against the Crown.
The Austrian men-of-war were, to
sail next day, taking with them Mar
tin Kozta to undergo his sentence of
execution. t this critical juncture
Commander Duncan M. Ingraham, witn
the Floop-of-war St. Louis, twenty
gun, entered the Harbor of Smyrna.
The American Consul went aboard
her Immediately, Informing the com
mander of the condition of affairs.
Time was of importance, and Com
mander Ingraham, without waiting t
discuss the international question as to
w hether the mere declaration of inten
tion to become a citizen of the United
States entitled Kozta to the protection
of the Government, sent a boat, with
an officer In command, to the Austrian
frigate demanding the immediate re
lease of the prisoner.
The Austrian commander, still claim
ing Kozta as an Austrian subject, re
fused to deliver him.
Thereupon Commander Ingraham, in
formed that the Austrian ships were
ready to sail, sent a peremptory de
mand for the surrender "of Kozta with
the ultimatum, "If he Is not delivered
tip by four o'clock today I will blow
you out of the water!" Preparations
were then begun on board the St. Louis.
The decks were cleared for action.
Before four o'clock Kotza was sur
rendered to the French Consul, who le
turned him safely to the jurisdiction
of the United States.
Commander Ingraham's fearless
course was thoroughly approved by
the President, the Congress and the
people of the United. States.
O. Jones, was for $100, and bore the in
dorsement of J. Rufus Wallingford.
"This guy Daw says he ain't got any
account here." explained Mr. Jones;
"but I guess this guy Wallingford's all
right.-
The names of Mr. Daw and Mr. Wal
lingford brought President Morley
straight over to the paying teller's win
dow. "The check is perfectly good," he ob
served, but he looked dubiously at W".
O. Jones. "Do you know Mr. Daw or
Mr. Wallingford?"
"Say, I know this guy Daw like a
thief knows a fly cop," growled
"Onion," Jones. "Say: there's a guy has
so much money that if he drops any he
lacks it out of the. road. Say: you get
that guy Daw pickled, and he'll tell his
past, present and future. Say, him and
this guy Wallingford are as chummy
as a pair of apes. Say: split one of
those bills, will you. so I can get two-thirty-five
out of it."
Mr. Morley was thoughtful for a long
half hour after Mr. Jones had left him,
then he walked slowly out of the side
dor of the bank and went over to Wal
lingford's hotel. In the bar he walked
slowly over to Mr. Wallingford, and
j-ecelved an introduction to Mr. Daw,
and greeted that Boston millionaire
with great effusiveness, and invited
him to dinner and hastily declined an
invitation to a drink.
He was not a drinking man, Dana T.
Morley: he was a teetotaller: but on
his way home. he bought some whisky
and hid it from his wife, who was more
of a teetotaller than he. When the
Boston millionaire came. Mr. Morley
dragged him into the library and pro
duced the whisky and poured two tum
blers, and emptied his drink into a tall
vase when Mr. Daw was not looking.
Between them they emptied two bottles
in this fashion, and both men were very
drunk that Is, to the outward eye.
Then Mr. Morley leaned flabbily on the
arm of Mr. Daw's chair, and said:
"Is there no way, friend Daw, in
which a man with money to invest
could secure some of that parent com
pany stock?"
Blackie Daw grinned loosely. He cast
on unstable eye at the ceiling, and
winked his profound wisdom. He snick
ered: and be smacked Mr. Morley a
resounding smack on the top of his
head a resounding smack with his open
palm.
"Becher life," he mumbled thickly,
and he winked again. "Goana buy it
myself." Another prodigious wink.
"The Warden girls took parent com
pany stock for their land. But they
wanted cash." Another wink. "See?"
Another wink. "I'm goana buy it my
self." . Laughing hilariously at this good
Joke. Blackie Daw rose and wandered
out of the house. Morley grabbed his
l-.at- At the library door he met Mrs.
Morley, whose nose went straight up.
" Dana!" she shrilled. "What is this
smell?"
"Whisky!" he snapped, and dashed
out of the front door.
Ha waa on the dead run when he
overtook and passed Blackie Daw, and
lie was out of breath when he sent up
his card to the Warden ladies at their
hotel.
Yes, they were not adverse to sell
ing him their stock, hut still Daw
should not be totally disregarded.
Morely puffed and urged fA ex
horted and finally gained the promise
of the voung ladies to accompany him
to his "bank. As they left the hotel
and, of course, quite. by chance. Onion
Jones put in his appearance, and con
fided to Morley that he would hel-,v
him put the deal over.
Beaching the bank, Morley called ex
citedly to the paying teller and with
trembling fingers began to count the
money which that grave young man
pushed through the grating.
Suddenly the door hurst open and
in staggered Daw. still feigning in
toxication. He seemed to appreciate
what was happening, however, and
hastily drew forth his check hook.
Astonished and chagrined, the girls
looked scornfully at Blackie. Quietly
Onion Jones sidled over to Morley, and.
tapping him on the shoulder, whis
pered: "Beat him to it. pal. Beat him
to it!" Morley realized m.icKie s pui
pose, and. as the latter fumbled with
his fountain pen and check hook, he
quickly turned to the orphans and al
most forcibly thrust the money into
Fannie's hands, taking in return the
precious stock of the parent company.
Then, as Blackie started to protest.
Morley smiled grimly and. tightly hus
gins his dearly bought stock, hurried
from the bank.
"Fine work," chuckled J. Rufus Wal
lingford, as Fanny Wordcn vigorously
crossed the name of Dana T. 'Morley
from the little book.
"It was the Boston Millionaire who
did the trick," exulted Blackie.
"Yes, it was," admitted Wallingford,
considering the matter from a scien
tific standpoint. "Without that, Mor
ley wouldn't have bought as much as
seventy thousand dollars' worth."
"He wanted a hundred thousand dol
lars' worth," suggested Aunt Pattie
thoughtfully. "But I wouldn't have
sold him more than the amount he
owes the Warden estate, even if we
had had it."
"We'll instruct Ed Bang to come
back and sell him the other thirty
thousand dollars' worth," laughed
Wallingford, "then Ed can experiment
the rest of his life. By George!" lie
suddenly frowned. "We forgot to sting
him for the expense fund."
"Oh, no we didn't," and Violet gig
gled, as she unsnapped her handbag.
I'm getting to be a financier myself.
It was my happy little idea to sell
Dana T. Morley the balance of our op
tions on future sun spots!" And she
triumphantly laid in Wallingford's
hand, which already held Moi lev's
check for $70,000, his further check for
$20,000.
"Shake, pal!" shouted Blackie, and
ehe dodged him.
