During vacation Neale becomes an omnivorous reader and spends much time In his fa ther’s lituuiry. He riden a bicycle for recreation. One day he rides to Nut ley, a village some distance iiway. and there runs aero** his old boyhood friend, Don Hubert*, who is playing tennis with two girl friend*. Polly and Natalie Dnderhill. Although Neala has never played tennis, he accept* an invitation to join In the fame. ■" * > The second set went better. Now that he was playing on Don’s side, Don gave him a little coaching. Neale learned to run in to the net and found volleying much simpler than playing gi-ound strokes. Natalie’s low returns often went through him and he aid nothing with her service, but not infrequently he managed to pat back Polly's gentle offerings. When points were neded Don monopolized the court. The boys won,—a love set. Don it a oigaret and pretended to fan himself with his racket. "How about lemonade for the victors?" he cried, but the girls demurred. It was I o'clock, they had to gK homo and ilrer.s. They laughed over nothing at aii. shook hands with Neale, told a fow friendly lies about his progress, drill walked off laughing over nothing at all. swinging their rackets: white ijfiod, yellow-haired, pinkskinned. ' “Dear little sweethearts, aren’t they?” commented Don. "A little in siped like most nice girls, but you have to take what you can get. / roll’s a dub at tennis, of course, uses' her racket like a snow-shovel, hut she's not such a worse little flirt, hook here, Crit, old boy. I’ve got to Stay in this stinking hole all summer, femwiing for 'deficient exams. Tlje eld man won’t let me go to the Wa tt?,r Gap till I can answer those damn Questions. And there isn’t a soul to Wa.v with but those girls. It’s rotten for my game. Why don’t you come gut here? Come tomorrow. Of course you can’t play, hut I’ll teach you. I can teach anybody.” Neale blushed and accepted the magnificent offer. "Well, ta, ta, old man, sorry you ?an’t stay to supper." Neale mounted his wheel with a very high heart. This was some thing like. Something was beginning fo happen In his life. Wasn’t Don great? As he rode home he decided that he would ask his father to let . Qim go to Princeton. Don was at Jfrinceton. i,®?1 he didn’t. Father read him Mother’s latest letter, all about the particular great-aunt she was visiting III Cambridge, and after they had commented on this. Father looked at his evening paper sideways as he a:e. and Neale went over in his mind , the events of the afternoon, and the wonder of Don Roberts turning out such a splendid fellow, such a good sport, such clothes, such a way with him. Neale thought about him a great deal more than about the girls, and with vastly more admiration. He was sure that David Coppei field's Steerforlh was nothing to Don Doberts. Once tvhen he glanced up, he saw Father looking at him instead of his newspaper. “Well, Neale,” he asked, “what are you up to these days?” This was his opportunity, Neale knew It was, to introduce the subject of Princeton, but he could not think of any way to do it. Instead ho said vaguely, "Oh, nothing much. Sort of hanging around.” And then with a great effort, he brought out, for once, a vital piece of news, “I'm learning to play tennis.” “That's good," said Father. "It's a great game.” This seemed to be final. He looked back at his newspaper. Bpt after a while, as thought something haft oc curred to him he asked, "Who's teaching you? Where do you play?' "I ran across Don Roberts, over in Nutley. They used to live here on Central Avenue. He used to go to No. 2 school.’ He wanted to go on and tell about Don's being in Prince ton, but could not propel himself past : the full-stop, where an inadvertent cadence of his voice had dropped him. Next morning he found Don with a whitewash brush touching up the marking of the court. For three hours they practised—a mojt ex- : hausting three hours! He thought he began to make a little progress. ' lie knew he was almost all in. when ' noon came, worn out far more by the ' mental strain of struggling his way Into a new technique, than by the physical effort, although that had ! been enough to leave him blown and panting, as they went into tlie house ' to have lunch. The two boys were alone at the fa- | ble. Don swaggered a little as he ‘ terved his guest. “No one at home,” , lie explained. "Mother and the girls , tie down at Ashbury. The old man ' ioesn’t get hack from the office till ; ho 6.4.3. I can hear his train whistle 'J Yorn here. He finds his loving son , leop in his hooks, you bet." That evening Father read another ! tneventful letter from Mother; then ] hey sat in silence till, as father was 1 tiling his pipe, he remarked, as if it ind judt come into his mind, "Oh, I ' hought you ought to have a racket * if your own, Neale. I got one. It's n the hall on the coat-rack.” Nea'e bounded upstairs and carried ils prize to his room. There was not inly a Sears racket, but three Wright ind Ditson balls. Spading's “Tennis ■ aide,” and a little pamphlet on 'How to Play Lawn Tennis.” Neale lropped-into his Morris chair nnd de voured both books before going to led. The summer days went by. Neale progressed far in his imitation of Don and Dpn’s manner and stand trds. He learned after practising with i Phene ATIantic 3857 Wo Deliver to AIJ Parts of the Cil.

To be like l>on, he learned to call the girls by their tirst names without choking, although he never could bring himself to squeeze their hands or pat their shoulders or stroke their hair as Don did so casually; and he did manage to pick up a fuir game of tennis. When he challenged Natalie to singles and beat her 7-5, Don looked at him with a new expression, and a few days later announced great news. ‘‘It's all arranged. Tournament here next Saturday, lemonade, lawn party, picnic-supper, dance. The old man’s agreed not to hutt in and spoil things. I've got four fellows from here, Peter son. and a friend of his from' Mont clair. You and t make eight. Just right fur a day's tournament on one court.” "Hut I don't play well enough," protested Neale. “You'll be put out in the first round of course,” Don admitted, "but l need you to make the even eight, ind you can chase balls and make yourself useful. Entry fee’s $1. rhat'U buy a Pirn racket as a prize, f need a new racket.” The great day came and Neale, Tustered and tense,, was put out in die llrst round according to schedule, it didn’t surprise him. although deep n his heart he had had a fluttering tope—but no matter. What happen 'd to him was of no consequence. Don came through easily, of course. \fter lunch Neale sat with Natalie tnd together they gasped and clapped tnd cried, “played!" as Don captured tis match in the semi-finals. "Isn’t he splendid?” said Natalie. S’eale nodded, too much moved to ipeak. The finals were called. Neale fo ussed himself on the game, blind to inything else. Don was matched igainst ,the Peterson boy. high-school ad from Montclair. Don got the irst set. flood. The second set un xpeetedly went to deuce. What had tappened! Neale leaned forward, his yes hot from staring, and tried to nake out the meaning of what he aw. Peterson didn't hit the bfill ns lard as Don did, but his long, bony rm pulled off the most impossible of gets." Deuce, vantage, deuce, vant ge. Don won his own service, and he sets wore even. Don's face was blank. lie walked to his place, iltched up his trousers, pulled the rim of his white felt sports-hat low ver his eyes, set his jaw and faced is opponent. Neale's anxious eyes ad not left him for a second. The" last set was astounding, aralyzlng to the spectators. Don had one to pieces and the high school boy hail polled himself together. Hlf gawky, graceless body and long a run seemed to cover the whole court. Dor served with murderous force, his ris ing fury burning with a sensible heal all around him as he raced ami plunged and stroked the ball. Peter son broke through his service again— four-two. Don struck out dazzling drives, but many of them landed In the net. Ue got by Peterson with wily stroke after stroke—only so many of them landed in the alleys; four-three; five-three. Peterson kept on steadily, with his stiff, mechanical, chopped returns, his intent eyes gleaming in his impassive face. He had Don forty-love. Neale's heart was bursting. Don rushed to the net. Peterson lobbed to the base lige. and It was all over. Don was beaten. In a flash Neale found an excuse I tor his hero, "Every one has his off days . , . but . . Though half-forewarned by the look on Don's face, he could not turn his eyes away from the dashing figure In white flannels, which stood there frozen in mid-flight as the fatal liall fell inside the back-line. Then with u furious swingyof his arm Don flung his racket frtnn him as if he wished to break it into a thousand pieces. By good luck it did not hit one of the girl spectators, but fell with a little crash of broken twigs into the midst of a lilac bush. He took a step or two ufter this, as if he meant to leave the court at once. With an ef fort, he turned about, walked up to the net where the Peterson boy stood panting, and gave him in si I lence, a limp hand-shake. Then he pushed through the spec- j Buehler Bros.
