CHAPTER X '
SYNOPSIS '
Len Rollins, tennis ace, dream-
ed:Lot of being on the Davis Cup
team. Then Use :Gell iu love with
Grace :Worthington," . but Grace
woulda;te marry a man who re-
garded tennis! as his life's work.
Left gave 'up his cherished' ambi-
tfonsl—partly because of his love
for Grace, partly because of a
sad. Injury to 8i4s ankle --and they
were married. But' when his re-
covery was complete his old love
proved too strong ,and he joined
the' Davis Cup team, ln, spite of
Grace's threat to lea him if he
goes abroad!. In the tournament
he cannot keep his -m'ind .on the
game_ He has heard ,that Grace
is seeking a divorce to remarry.
•
From below where he paused mom-
entarily to bite into 'a piece of nem
on, Len raised 'bis head' toward the
umpire and laughed. Slapping the
racquet challengingly against his
flanneletrousered leg, ,he went out on
the court. So she wanted him to be
a great player; did she? Well, she'd
read in the papers. about 'him' tomor-
row!
Lefevre seemed to sense a change
in his opponent. The wry; almost
pitying smile 'diisappearect He knew,
as did Len, that many a Davis Cup
match had been won by the mat.
with two sets against him. .'Hadn't
Cochet triumphed. over Big Bill .111-
den in just .such a mannernotso
manly ,years ago? And as quickly and•
correctly as Lefevre sensed the
change in Len, Len also sensed the
change' in his opponent, The. French-
man 'had ti•gihtened up, was pressing,
trying too hard.
There was no stopping Len.,,.,. ,Ile
swept through Lefevre in that third
set with re]entless and devastating
accuracy.'There was acclaim from
the boxes as the referee made -the
announcement: "Monsiegur Rollins
wins the third set 6-3. Score in sets
now is two to one in favor of Mon-
sieur Lefevre" He caught a faint
ray of thape s'hugning in Swaustnom's
eyes when their glances emet over
the sunbaked- marquee as he and
Lefevre left the count.
When he returned to the court
following the rest period Len sensed
the 'change 'in , the spectators, the
ball boys, •the linesmen, even the
referee. There was a" lack of con=
fidence in their god Lefevre. At drat
the,. change was sli'gih then marked
and complete. An easy one-sided
victory' was turning into a brilliant
and senslational uphill struggle.

sieur Rollins leads in the fourth net,

The flicker of a frown creased
Lefeure's forehead. The French
Davis Cup star broke Lens service
for two •success'ive points, but un-
daunted, Len smasshed hie way to a
lead of 'three games with bullet -like
aces and •phenpmenal net .play.
And now Lefevre was plainly

Racquets flashed, feet scurried over

men, 'bursts of applause from the
crowded stands.
"Monsieur, Rollins' game; games
are tlheee all in the fifth set . - ,"
Len smiled, and winked at a 'lines-
man as be -Went by.
Another game. Lefevre , was play-
ing as if inspired, .but the French -
mina's ins•pitration sprang !rows no
such deep and demanding wells as
'did Len's.
"Monsieur Lefevre's game;" games
are four three in favor of Monsieur
Lefevre." Back into the referee's
voice crept stone .of the eu,thusias n
that had been there previous to
Len's •stupencbous rally. But Len
merely took a tighter grip upon the
'htd.ndle of his racquet. - A siizzling
Massing shat which Lefevre courage
otisly but vainly attempted to reach.
The match was squared. Pio u r

Their world now was the . tennis
court. The spectators might have
beet on some distant planet. 'Lefevre
knew only . that the man on the
other side of tree net must not be
allowed to win; and Len just as
keenly knew that Lefevre mast be
driven to defeat.

Not a move diad the other make that

Len's mind. He was close on the
trail now, waiting for hi `quarry to
falter. And when he did—swift and
sure would be this death.
But Lefevre throughout the ninth
game, though it was deuced seven
times, did not falter,. It was Len" in-
stead who finally, left an opening.
And the Frenchman took quick ad-
varttage . . . "Monsieur Lefevre
leads five games to •-four. Change
please." The crescendo of the re-
feree's voice was startling.
One game, .the (Mere 'matter of

and defeat. But Len would not fail;.

must not fail. Somehow he reached
side court just as the ball was

it viciously from the 'backhand, and
knew 'happy"'amamement as it hurtled
back irately into . the Frenchman's
court.

body coiled and ,released, swiftly
uncoiled. The bald went wide. The

Again upon en toe --arid that terri-
fic spinning service nicking the
white line so the 'eb ik flew high in
the air. Lefevre bit his lip as the
ball bounded off the retaining wall
and rolled away
"Forty -fifteen", and after a long
ol;ey—"Forty-thirty."
A daring cut of a trap -shot. Len

French star heartbreakingly tried

The first ball came and Len drove
it off his forehand to the far base

and angled 'the bail to the other

• A retail store regards itself "as being a public servant.
Therefore, itis wholly fitting that it should try -to be the
best and most eager, servant possible. A retail- store.
which hides itself from those whomit wants to employ
becomes under -employed, and so its sales decline.
• The public inclines in largest numbers toward 'those
stores which seek its attention: and custom. It takes the
advertising store at its own valuation. It likes to do busi-
ness with those who manifest eagerness to serve it. 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. It is those who talk who are listened to. Silent
stores lose out to stores which carry on conversations—
in the form of newspaper advertisements—with those
whose custom they want.
• Any retailer who wants- to ,get more customers --for
the replacement of customers who 'become lost to him and
for the expansion of his business—can surely get them by
making his store important. in their eyes, and by putting
in his advertisements the kind of information which will
help buyers come to decisions.
• Our newspaper's advertising department is 'ever wi l-
ing to help retailers prepare the right kind of arvertise-
ments—free assistance, of course.
