of goitng to Europe with the Davis
Cup team to helpwin, the cup. for
Aem?erica; and lie is in love with
the rich Grace Worthington, who
is willing to defy her family and
marry him if he will give up ten-
nis. Fate seems to decide the
matter far him when in a match
game he injures an ankle so ser -
tonally that ' the doctor say he
can never play again. He gets
a job et Talbot's sporting, goods

will sand up while he tutors a
rich man's sent at tennis. But en

"Ie Mr. Rollins working date?" she
asked. "I'm Mrsi. Rollins. He should
have finished 'an hour ago."
He gazed at her out of pale eyes,
a puzzled expression of ti's ' face.
"Working? No, no one is working
here, Ma'am. No one at all; they all
cleared out .art five -thirty. I was com-
in' in when he was morn' out. He went

"Len," shee cried out in relief,
"where have you been?"'
"I'!" His voice was icy cold.
"Where have you been? You might
at least ,have left a note to say you'd
be late. I've 'been' spending my time

"But you know' very- . well I el on.t

planes," she aid brokenly. It is the
only thing I ask, but. that doesn't
seem to make any difference. First
thing you, know, instead of two
nights a vveeek it'll he four,"
He laughed unconvincingly. "That's
utterly riddeuleuto darling. My ankle
wouldn't permit it, even if I did want
to play that many times its one week."
"Then you do advitlt that if your
ankle Could stand it you'd be out
more often, playing tennis? If your
ankle ever should become normal I
veauldn't mean that to you." She snap-
ped two slim fingers weakly. •
He laughed. I'll show you how,
much it means to me. Tomorrow I'll
tell Mr. Richmond I'm through. You
don't think I care particularly about
hanging around a damp, bare armory
after work, do you? „I much prefer
coining here to a 'good dinner-" •
"Couldn't _you," she asked With a
wan smile, "have said? come home
here—to me?"
Inquisition, "That's exactly what
I mean. Home''.herc to you." . •
She raised her lips to his. "I -I
suppose we're all made up now,
ane'n't we? And tomorrow you'll tell
Mr. Richmond'?" She snuggled closely

"Yes. Tomorrow I'll tell him."

oungRivchmond. But with the arrival of
mild weather he faced a new and
more difficult problem. The men at
Talbot's wanted ,him to play on
their tennia team in the business
league.
He was undecided for days whether'
or not to speak to. Grace about it. He
didn't dare play without telling her,
and he was afraid that when lie m'en-,
tioned it she would ,object. But fin-
ally at the theatre one evening=it
was Grace's birthday --she corralled
his courage, and did',.....,
The curtain fell on the first act
and they went out 'to the 'lobby to
smoke. "Gracie." the' began after
they ,brad, discussed the play, "they
have. organised some sort of indus-
trdal tennis league at the sliop." He
paused, cleared• his throat nervously.
"The men at' Talbot''s asked -me to
play with their team. I told them,"
he spoke slowly, trying to keep his
voice indifferent, "that I wasn't in-
terested; that I was busy."
She sighed. "How often will you
have ;to ,play?" °
"Once a week. On Sundays'."
"And it won'.t hurt your ankle?"
"No, I'm sure it won't."
"Will you promise that if we ever
have something important to do or
somewhere, important to go you won't
feel you have to play?"
"Surely. There's no obligation. You
know I won't let it interfere with
anything important"
"All right, then." She knew • it
would be useless. to forbid. him . to
play. ' After a year of marriage to
Len Rollins she realized fully that he
had. only 'one interest outside her and
his work—tennis. And that was all
right. Tennis as a hobby was 'fine.

at her absence and Grace's discov-

to lose his temper. ' Now be wantedr
to retract ''his words and it was too
latae.
She 'was orying—and It was all his
fault.
"Stop crying," 'he said gently.
"Let's 'forget all about it."
"Yow lied to me," she managed be-
tween sobs, "you lived to mel"
"Oh, it really wasn't a Ile; bouest-
ly it wasn't, Gracie. Sit up and dry
your eyes and I'll tell you all about
it. It wasn't really a lie," he repeat-
ed with some heat. "I'm trying to

"I'll ask."' •
"If it can't be arranged we'll leave

"Yes," she said s?aftly, evidently

with his not wanting- to go out to

did not care to visit her family. But
would she understand that or v'ouid
she accuse him of wanting to atra,y'
home because of the game?
In
any case it wo'r'd be foolhardy
to say anything about it to Grace
now. In her present mood she
would not understand; she would
misinterpret everything. It would

He appreciated the worth of German

that men have a disposition in eom-

to follow where others lead, ands the
Germans would give the lead to
ethers..
But Van Egmoad was net able to
do what Galt had suggested. The
busrines,s of removal to the Tract and
the illness after it kept him- occupied
until Galt's departure. As we have
said, .; directors• of the Canada

tc get some, High Dutch settlers into
the Huron Tract will then, be lost?",
"Altogether lost, my dear friend," re-
plied Galt. "I'l1 pray to God that it,

iety to see 'them prosper, it is to be
attributed that I did not quit the -
Canada Company nine or ten months
ago." As Van Egmond ,'.was writing
these word's in the fall of 1837, he
still cherished the memory of Galt,
and this friend's'hip was probably the
best of his experiences, in Upper
Ca.nada.31 Galt's plans, including
that for German settlers, were drop-
ped and the. Tract passed under a
new regime.

• A retail store. regards'itself as being a public servant.
Therefore, it is wholly fitting that it should try to be the

• The public inclines hi 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 store which have ,to renew their
stocks frequently.
• Advertising is just communicating news and informa-
tion about one'sstore 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.

the replacement of customers who become lost to him and
