Then he fell in love with Grace Worthiugten, rich and socially prominent. Gnace was willing to defy bar family and marry him if he would give ' tennis.

He'd never have to work again. He could invest it and live modestly, happily on the ineome. Happily? Without Grace? The light car bumped, swerved, went on; his foot remained pressed to the accelerator, his, hands hard on the w•heel. Too Tate he saw the bend in the road and the man in dirty ov- eralls waving a red flag. Another car came around the bend, He famMed on the brakes. A huge bole yawned ahead. It was close, toe close.

' They turned) off the hall into a large room and then into a smaller one. There were three beds. Two of them were empty. Grace, covered by a white sheet, lay upon the other, pale and wan, her head and one arm. in bandages. She smiled weakly up as' he entered. He crossed the small room rapidly and fell to .his knees beside the bed. "Gracie darling, I'm sorry. So terribly, ter- ribly sorry! 'How do you feel? Are you badly hurt?,.

He raised her'hand to his &raised lips, kissed it gently. There were voices behind them. Mr. and line Worthington disre- garded him, stood looking down upon their only 'child. Len withdrew to a far corner of the room. He would not go to Europe, of course, even though she had not been seriously in- jured. His mind. was made up, ' * * * He remained overnight at a nee: -by tourist house and spent practically all of the next day with Grace...At Pest it was time for him to leave for New York. The boat was sailing at midnight and he would have to go to the apartxnent first to get Ms clothes, Some of the color had returned to Grace's face and this encouraged him somewhat. But at tthe last minute he protested that he....did,t no: want to go, that the team could go to blazes. that France could 'keep the cup for all he cared.

There was some- thing frightened. 'deeperate even, in the way she wished him "bon voy- age." It startled and puzzled him a little. With her one good arm she clung to him, held his bead close ,to her; pressed- her lips against ,his abandon. Her face was wee against bus.

A retail store which hides itself, from those whom it wants to employ becomes under -employed, and so its sales decline. • The public inclines in largest numbers toward those stores which •seRk its attention and custom.

It likes to buy 'at those stores which have to renew their stocks frequently. • Advertising is just communicating news and informa- tion about one's store "and service. It is just a form of talking.
