Destructive brains! Slowly I open-
ed my eyes; I yawned gloriously,
drawing deep down into my lungs the
winelike air; 1 raised niy bands over
my head and stretched until my toes
touched the foot of the bed, I was
conscious of my silk pajamas, the
Linen sheets, the silken coverlet
Through the open window I could see,
hi the distance, the green -clad noun-;
tains; closer, I could observe the
seventh green of the golf -course. I
rolled over on one side, burying nay
face in the downy pillow, to hide from
tho obsequious waiter the sudden
mirth that had overwhelmed me.
The lifting, ten minutes ago, of the
telephone that stood on a table by
my bed, had been enough to wake into
activity not merely this man, but half
a dozen others, all of whose energies
and thoughts had been directed to-
ward the satisfaction of my wants.
Oh, I tell you, I who have known di-
rect poverty, that luxurious ease is
worth the sacrifice of any principle.
And I should'know! Had I not fol-
lowed the path of honor across a
bloody field in !1'ranre, to learn that
honor mocked me? Had I net adhered
to all those righteous rules which the
strong have laid down for the en-
slavement of the weak, and seen that
adherence lead me from boarding-
house to tenement, from tenement to
slum, and from shim to the edge of
the grave?
Honor had brought me starvation.
What cant would term dishonor, had
brought me a full stomach. Well, I
had done with cant. The world had
its rules; one must be productive or
constructive, said the world. There
was no place for those who belonged
In neither class. And yet the lying
world gave its best in place, in esteem,
in what it termed success, to those
outside those rigid categories. Steal,
and be jailed; but steal enough and
be honored. Kill, and be hanged; but
kill sufficiently, and be enthroned.
The rules were made for the herd;
but I, John Ainsley, was no lamb to
be shepherded. I was the wolf who
preyed outside the fold and I had
steeled meat. No more, while rascals
stuffed themselves, would I go hungry.
I had destructive brains. I would use
therm.
Yet I would use there as a gentle-
man must always use his strength, for
though I discarded morality, breeding
could never leave nre. Not upon the
lambs, nor upon the shepherd, but
upon the beasts of prey who lurked
outside, would I feed.
And I was savoring now the luxury
of nay first kill. In New York the
famous jeweler Daragon—a cur at
heart—mourned the loss of a bauble
wherewith he had hoped to force a
woman to bis will, but with which I
had forced the world to my will. IIere

joy, not explainable to those who have
never started, in looting at the iced
grapefruit, the yellow omelet and the
golden toast,. And then eager appetite
mastered me. I laughed as I found
myself reaching for e fifth slice of
toast. I must remember that times
had changed, and that it was not nec-
essary for me to overeat; as inevitably
as the hotel clock struck one, so would
I lunch. Last year, when the scanty,
coarse meal before me must do me a
day, or two days, or even three, it was
all very well, even vitally necessary,
thet I clean the plate. But now I
could permit myself a daintiness for-
bidden not so long ago. And •as I re-
placed the toast upon the dish, I re-
membered that I had promised to be
on the first tee at ten o'cloek. I look-
ed at the clock en the wall, found that
I had but a half-hour in which to

"Though you might have changed
your mind, Mr. Ainsley," he said to
me.
"Am I late?" I asked.
He grinned offensively. "Oh, you're
in plenty of time," he answered. "For
a beating!" he added.
I looked at him; a tall, burly man,
with protruding eyes, and thin sandy,
hair, he was exactly the type which,
for some reason, is most offensive to
me. I find that meet with those char-
acteristics„ especially if their Adam's
apples are very large, are usually vul-
gar braggarts. Ile was not the per-
son whom I would have selected as my
opponent. But last night, in the din-
ing -room, an elderly gentleman with
whom I had struck up a casual ac-
quaintance on the course—I had play-
ed the last nine holes with him, and
he had complimented me on my play
—asked me to his table for coffee. He
introduced me to his wife and to his
daughter, and to my opponent of to-
day, Ernest Vantine, wham I took to
be the fiance of the daughter, Kerno-
chan, my elderly friend, expatiated on
me prowess to his prospective son-hi-
'tre Whereupon Vantine promptly
challenged me to a match. In the
course of our conversation 1 mention-
ed that, during a leave of absence in
the war, I had played Westward Ho,
in England in eight -one. Vantine had
shown an immediate disbelief in my
statement. He remarked that he had
. seen me driving, and that I didn't look
like an eighty-one player to him.
"In fact," he had edded insolently,
"I'd be willing to bet five hundred dol-
lars that you can't beat nre, and I'm
never below eighty-five."
I reminded him that I had played
but little in recent years, and that I
had no doubt that he could beat me.
Whereupon he had sneered and re-
marked that he always found it thus;

gretted that courtesy toward an elder-
ly man had led me into the indiscre-
tion of joining his table. For Kerno-
chan was as vulgar as hie daughter's
lover, And' sudd'erey, when Vantin
began telling everyone within earshot
that he had "called my bluff," an un-
reasoning
anger possessed me I ac-
cepted his challenge,
So, here I was upon the first tee, 1,

all of whom were hopeless of my abil-
ity to defeat a man whom I had learn,-
ed last night was the best player in

that his best game was eighty-five,
Aicording to my informants, and•
well-wishers of today, Vantin was
capable of seventy-eight. He had wen
a great deal of money by malting
unfair matches with strangers, goad-
ing them into wagers.
Well, it was my own fault. I asked
sympathy neither from the gallery,
nor from myself, but played the best'
golf I knew, It was not good enough,
so lacltin'g was I in practice,even to
give him an argument. The match

green. I acted becomingly, r hope. X
promptly congratulated Vantin, and
iminediately paid him the wager. He
took it without shame. Nor did Ker-
nochan or his daughter seem to think
that Vantine had acted otherwise
than as a gentleman should. In fact,
people told me that it was Kerne
chan's habit to engage in a match
with any newcomer to the hotel, and
then praise the stranger's play to
Vantine, who would promptly badger

But I smiled as these things were
told to me. I had been silly, and
being silly is apt to prove expensive.
I never mourn spilled milk. Instead,
I look for dairy.
That night I was as cordial at din-
ner as though nothing untoward had
occurred. Miss Kernoehan invited me
to make a fourth at bridge, and I ac-
cepted. We played in the Kernochan
apartment, and I won a few dollars.
But I did more than that. I won the
lilting of old Kernochan, and even the
sour -featured daughter and her pop-
eyed lover were quite cordial. Iierno-
chen, live all parvenus—ho was ob-
viously that—talked continuously of
his wealth. I learned that he was a
retired broker, and that Vantine was
the chief owned of a detective -agency
that bore his name. This latter fact
cavae out when Kernochan showed me,
as proof of his great wealth, a ring
which he had given his daughter upon
her engagement to Vantine. He
brought it from an inner room.
"The setting is a little loose, so
Alice isn't wearing it," hetold me• "I
shall have it fixed in New York next
week."
I admired the ring. An enormous
ruby, it was worthy of the warmest
admiration. And I, who had dealt so
successfully with another ring no so
long ago, eyed it with longing appre-
ciation. I encouraged, the old vulgar-
ian to tell me about the stone.

"Madam, at this very minute your

a mighty crash and shock between

'The express has knocked our last car
