THE CADDIE'S SYMPATHY
There is a good story told of a golfer. He was playing, when he noticed the ragged condition of his caddie. Being touched by this, he gave the boy something to get some food with, and promised him a suit of old clothes. Later, hearing about a dependent mother, he despatched a load of coal and a round of beef.- The lad was very grateful indeed for all this kindness, and, with his eyes brimming with tears, he tried to say something befitting the occasion. Please, sir -'- he began, and then he halted. Oh, that's all right, my boy,' said the benefactor, cheerily. ' Say nothing. Be a good lad, that's all.' Then the caddie could no longer restrain himself. The kindly thought which lay at the bottom of his heart broke through. Please, sir,' he cried, I'm sorry you're such a bad player!'
