THE BRAVE PRESERVER
Golf is a great bond of union. We wandered about the grounds discussing the game, the entente cordiale growing more firmly established every moment.
"We must certainly arrange a meeting," concluded the professor. "I shall be interested to see how we stand with regard to one another. I have improved my game considerably since I have been down here—considerably."
"My only feat worthy of mention since I started the game," I said, "has been to halve a round with Angus McLurkin at St. Andrew's."
"The McLurkin?" asked the professor, impressed.
"Yes. But it was one of his very off days, I fancy. He must have had gout, or something. And I have certainly never played so well since."
"Still—" said the professor. "Yes, we must really arrange to meet."
