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. "Monsieur;..

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.

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.

Somehow he reached side court just as the ball was bounding past, threw MS racquet at it viciously from the 'backhand, and knew 'happy"'amamement as it hurtled back irately into . the Frenchman's court. 'He had been drawn cut t of posi- tion by the seemingly impossible ,recovery. • And now the area left ogemi in w eb Lefevre_ would put the ball away yawned, terrifying as ha wheeled.

"Thirty -fifteen.'' • Again upon en toe --arid that terri- fic spinning service nicking the white line so the 'eb ik flew high in the air.

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. • THE HURON Ex q McLEAN BROS., Publishers Establish . •1861 c :.x16.:: •a4C • F
