CROQUItF
(By Newton faseclavish •'in Canadian
Magazine.)
We were a law-dbiclingg neighbour-
ly, considerate, &en forbearing com-
munity. We lita our simple games,
our innocent amusements, our tests
at skill, our pleasant pastimes. la
wahlcr, these of us who wore not de-
barred by ,;he footnote, had cards and
denciug, and cvery4budy, according t r
sex or inclivattiaat, had skating or
shinny, fouti,.,ll or forfeits, and in•
deed all the kissing games that w•
could invent, which always wine a
source of great satisfaction to both
old and yuuttg,L in summer we had
duck-on•the.recta, shoulder slone,b,at
swings, horseshoe, and evening rant',
les through the graveyard.
And then,' one warn afternoon in
June, Miss Cherry, our esteemed
dressmaker, introduced the elegant
and pktureslue and withal bedevil
ing game of croquet. I refer to it
being bedeviling, because front time
onward, until the fever reached its
height and then slowly abated, our
erstwhile peaceful village, our scene
of homely industry and contentment,
became, if not a bear garden, at least
a ,;place of wrangling and discord, and
strife and bitter rivalry. Miss Cherry
hrrself, a woman of years and rlis-
cernment, and I am free to record, of
discretion, became perhaps not a ter-
magant but at least a stickler and a
crank. A crank,, I write, and yet
perhaps, I should ease the term with
balm or Gilead. For Miss Cherry,
with all her meagre -waistline and ex-
traordinary bustle, was fair and hon.
est and above board. The ground
She chose for setting out her stakes
and hoops was in a sense neutral. It
lay hack from her dress -making shop,
which was the corner room of what
had been the old frame tavern, be-
tween the end of the lane and Tuf-
ford'k barn. It was not common
ground, and yet we used it as such,
playing thew afternoons arid even-
ings with a gusto and fidelity that at
length prompted old Mr. Brown to
drive o err to Seaforth and buy him-
self all the implements of the game.
Nine of us will forget that day. For
when Miss Cherry saw the old man
driving his stakes and setting out his
hoops she regarded it as being not
so muoh of an affront as of a chal-
lenge. She retired forthwith and
consulted her minions. And that very
afternoon she took up the gauntlet
and stipulated the conditions. She
and IIenry Perkins 'would play a-
gainst Mr. Brawn and any other play-
er he might choose within a radius f
five miles. That seemed to be fair.
Nevertheless the old man was inon-
plussed. For he was, if anything,
gallant. And tlherefore he felt im-
pelled to choose a member of the fair
sex. Nothing, acorditrg to the fer-
ric', e whi lie fairer. But whom could
he cheese? The game was new to
us. Semeiotic suggested Nellie New-
c.omb-, echo taught musk- between
time, and hart tirade one or two ex-
act:v .t shuts by striking, according
to criticism, at random. Others
thought of the doctor's hired girl, an
English maid, who said that she had
seen them pl:;ying the game on the
Eters bac: 'time: But the old man,
taking ate burden of responsibility

ever since she was a girl in short
iires-ies and that she had told some -
ere that on ore ortasion she had gone
tt•,rout,>fh clean front stake to stake
;col back ago -in without a miss.
All this was had resort for Miss
Cherry and Henry. And'w^hat was
worse still, notwithstanding the social
slight she had made of never playing
on our common green, -Phoebe went
adrrss to Mr. Brown's and played
with him the very evening of his ar-
rival home with the new set. But
that was not the worst. For she
practiced on Mr. Brown's lawn 'all the
next fnrr'nodn, storing points from
one end to the other and altogether
flabbergasting Miss Cherry,
We can only surmise who it was
that sent the alarm to Henry. Be
that as you will, 'it became known
that Henry turned his horses in the
middle of a furrow and headed fol
the village. There he left the team
at the blacksmith's to be shod all
round, and a moment later he was
rapping on Miss Cherry's door. Miss
Cherry came out, and after a few
words of conversation, slae handed to
her assist -uta the flounce she was mak-
ing for Mrs. Smile's cashmere dress,
and then she and Henry walked up
itisurely to the Tufford green. Thera
these two practicer) -assiduously for at
least two hours. Meantime a few of
us w -hu were interested in the event
moved thither. We sat.on the fence
watching the proceedings. And pres-
ently, without drum or symbal or any
forerunner, Miss Parsons and the old
man appeared in the offing, each car-
rying a Mallet. And Miss Cherry
and Henry, seeing their opponents
approaching, forthwith, and quite
properly, stood aside, at strict atten-
tion, leaning on their own mallets,
to await the arrival.
The old man very gallantly opened
the gate, and Phoebe swished through
on to the green. There the two par-
ties bowed in greeting, but not a
word was uttered until Mr. Brown
formally announced that he had in-
vited Miss Parsons to play as his
partner and that she lied accepted.
"Of course," said Miss CJher•ry, per-
haps with a slight touch of sarcasm,
"we presume that Miss Parsons un=
derstands that we are only amateurs."
With that Phoebe blushed so that
her blue ribbons looked quite pale.
The old man replied.
"Miss Parsons tells me," he sand,
"that she is only a beginner." Then
he added, with an audible chuckle,
"and I beat her myself this morning."
"Oh, anybody could beat .me," said
Phoebe. ` I.apllay like a man, and she
laughed self-consciously, as she press -

ed the grass with the head of her•
mallet. The mallet had blue stripes,
nuaching the ribbon, arid against the
green of the grass the blue looked
very blue. When Phoebe said that
she played like a meat Miss Cherry
smiled audibly.
"A hit easy on that 'anybody' stuff,'
said Henry, with a guffaw. "We'll
soon know."
There followed some discussion as
to rules, and then Miss Cherry and
Mr. Brown drove at tim,' farther colts,
to decide which should play first.
The old man drove the nearer. -With
that Miss Cherry stepped forward to
begin the game. From our place on
the fence we could ehserve very
agreeably her fastidious pois and
characteristic manner of attack. Her
mallet had mauve-volourel stripes,
which matdhed the sprig of lilac on
her breast. The h:uelle she gripped
firmly with both hands, the right
hand just below the left, and stoop-
ing forward, a posture which caused
her bustle to tilt slightly upward,
she drew the mullet backward, at a
right angle, made a motion or two,
and then struck .the hall so that it
went through the first two arches
and lay. three feet farther upon the
green, She had now two shots at
the first side art•h. The first shot
sent the ball in front of the arcdh but
off the court. It was an astute play,
because when the ball was fetched
into court again it lay et an angle
sharp enough to enable Miss Cherry
to drive • her ball through the arch,
',s She expressed it, on the bias, and
make it roll forward almost into
position for the cage,
The cage, we all know, was as Scyl-
la to most player::. But to Miss
Cherry it was the Rubicon. For,
once through it, her course was clear.
Clear also was her conscience. For
while she always st,:od out for the
line points of the game, and un-
swervingly did her level best to win.
never, even` in the immediate hazard
of losing, was she tempted, as sonic
of us oftentimes were, to kick slyly
into a more convenient position her
men ball or, whidh was not so of-
fensive, her partner's.
Position` ars anyone .might see, was
in croquet everything. Without it
you were like a bee in a bottle. With
it you passed onward to the final
stake, whirls was Shek'inath. And by
position I do not mean attitude. if
I did mean attitude, which includes
posture and attack, then Miss Cherry
would Wear the pains. Because Miss
Cherry was a model of delportment.
Never was she known to stand astride
a ball and make What is known as the
pentiulum stroke, for in order to do
so she would have to draw the mallet
backward against a taut skirt. That
acbion she regarded as being unlady-
like, ungraceful, even grotesque, If
a gentleman essayed it, she witnessed
the effort with admirable tolerance.
but if ever he put one foot forward
to serve as a guide for the mallet she
made an open protest and stigmatiz-
ed that method as being unfair, un-
sportsmanlike and absurd.
Absurd, of course, was the whole
game as we played it. For, as it un-

stance, Miss Cherry's book said that
,after yeti had once roqueted one" hall
and played -off it, you might not rowe'tA
it again uitil you had eeored another
point. In other words you were dead
on that ball uhless you went through
a hoop. Mr. Brown's book, op the
other argument, sat it down that once
you ruquetect a ball and glayed off it,
you were dead bre that pticuler ball,
only Pur that play, whether you scored
ei nut. lleflr Perkins, who was a
rule unto himself, always contended
to
that 'hold iu•.t
i t it player ever was
do B ot1 any -ball was ridiculous.
And ridieuluus as it may seem to
be, we never 'vile reconciled these
cuntlicriag rules, We made comprom-
ises and court rules of our own, but
nobody ever accrued to be wholly curt-
sislent as to when certain rules should
be observed. Far instance; when Miss
Cherry's ball was fetched intu court,
it was :placed on the line, a mallet's
length from the outside of the arch.
As to that Mn', Brown did nut raise
itny objection until after Miss Cherry
'had passed successfully through the
arch and taken Iposition in front of
the cage; because, as- we must sur-
mise, he did not think that she could
get through. He argued that the ball
should have been placed on the spot
where it crossed the line and not
straight in from the spot where it
happened to lie outside the court.
But Miss Cherry countered with the
very proper angument that his ob-
jection should have been taken before
she continued the ,play. The old man
was visibly diseleased, and when Mise
Cherry on the next stroke s:trudk one
wire of the cage and glanced through,
he threw this mallet upon the ground
and declared most vehemently that
nobody, no matter how expert he
might be, could play against rules of
that character,
But Miss Cherry coolly took posi-
tion In front of the, second aide arch,
and Phoebe, looking very coy and, I
am bound to say, very winsome, laid
her ball, with the blue stripes,,in front
of the first arch. Then she stood be-
hind it, to Miss Cherry's evident dis-
gust, and with her feet spread wide
apart, in the inelegent position that
some men take, she drew her mallet
backwaret into her skirt and struck
the ball with such -force that it went
through the first arch and jumped
clear over the second. Naturally she
was full of chagrin, But site wasn't
overflowing, like the old man.
"Ilow sttd,rid," she exclaimed.
"Well, perhaps just a bit careless,"
said the qld man.
"Of course, I have another try for
it?"
Mr. Brown 'looked at Miss Cherry.
But Miss Cherry shook her head.
"You hav•one more shut," she said
to
"for going through the first hoop."
"lip in Bethel," I'huebe replieh, as
a mild protest, "every Inlayer has
three chances at the start."
"Yes," said Miss Cherry, "but down
here we play by rule."
"By your rule," said the old man,
and his lips went on twitching.
"Henry," said Miss Cherry, "it's
your turn next."
Henry had a mallet that he had
tirade himself. The head of it, he told
us, was of iron -wood, and the handle
of second growth hickory. No one
dared stake denial, because the mallet
was painted all over and striped like
a 'barber's pole. The furrier said it
gave hint the willies just to look at
it. • Nevertheless Henry got away to
a good start, and took position in
front of the cage.
The old man by this time was pretty
hot. Ile didn't see how he could carry
his par'tner's ball along with hits, and
yet his only hops lay in his being
able to do so. First, however, he
must run forward and roquet Henry's
ball out of position. That he suc-
lrcded in doing, and was about to
strike again, having placed his own
ball a mallet -head's length from
Henry's when Miss Cherry objected.
"Pardon me, Mr. Brown," she said,
"but, you know, you must move the
ball you roquet when you make the
next shot." -
"I have the option of playing the
ether way," said Mr. Brawn. Now,
up Bethel way--"
"Well, that'll be the rule for this
game," said Miss Cherry in agreeing,
but it isn't fair or right."
"It's as fair for one as 'other," re-
plied the old man, and with that he
made a rather wide, swinging stroke
with a view to getting his ball down
behind his partner's, but the head of
his mallet, being new and not proper-
ly glued on, flew off,`and the handle,
going forward with the momentum,
struck the ball and moved it only
about a foot.
All this was too Much for the old
man's choler. He muttered some-
thing,
to'himself, something suppress -
eel yet audible and familiar, and then
he threw the handle bang against the
barn, kicked one of the balls out of
the court, and from that same egas-
perching place, without further word
or expletive, he immediately with-
drew
'I. guess," said Henry, tucking his
barber's (pole under his arm, "I'll go
