GOLF. THE LOST "COBED." 1 laying one day on the gulf links. i a n.s tumbling and ill at ease, Ami i. hud no heart for driving, l,ui idled around the tees. I hardly knew 1 was playing, Or if 1. v. a.- dreaming then, B'ul i struck one ball in a moment . .. a whack like the cluck of a hen. it ro-i; in the air like an ea yb', O'er bunker and cop it lieu Ami straight and steady 1 watched it. Till it lay in the green, l knew. Ami my heart was tilled with gladness, Tor i felt that JL could now play, Ami pictured myself as the winner Of a champion cup some day. ■so jL walked to the green in triumph, i aas sure, with u little care. One stroke of the putter would hole , i- ! Ml, alas! juj ball s-u.- then'. * i Aud J. .-rought, but i .--.'light it vainly, I The one la-t ball ul mine a Tili the wintry day unavailing. A lid the moon bega n to shine. k Aud I gave my caddie sixpence. And he searched from green lu green. Bui the ball I drove so grandly. Has never, since then, been seen. j Ofi 1 *ve topped a ball or missed it— L have scooped the >ods at my feet — But that one great stroke with a driver. i cuuid never again repeat. it may bo that some bright angel Till show where my ball has lain. Bat it may be that only in heaven I shall drive like that again. —From a Stymie, j
