And Havermeyer has won the tourna-
ment Of the year. Yet there seems to be
little excitement aboutft. The club house
piazza Is thronged with men In their
natty morning clothes, and the women
with whom they are talking. To be sure
the tournament is not such an important
one; Newport, Nahant, Bar Harbor, and
Southampton have all como before; yet
there has been some good tennis, and
the matches have all been close.
Instead OF watching the play. the peo-
pie on the plazzas and about the lawn are
for the most part talking. Here and
there man is seen who watches the play
with the eyeyof an expert, but when be
applauds a good shot, he finds himself al
most alone.

Lawrence is mystitied. When he hears
this odd story he Is quite at loss to un-
derstand what it means.
Young Havermeyer has gotten 1t
straig ut to some extent. 1t is quite true
that Davaris has gone away, but the real
reason is known only by Langford. Be-
fore Davaris went he told Langford the
whole story, snatches Of which are about

tiers at Davaris when he was playing tc
Gladys Montague was Davariss sister
But as to her being a bona-fida maid
that is not true. She merely assumed the
part to further her plans.
The story that Davaris told his friend
Langford is something like this:
Ten years ago when Davaris was away
at school in Greece, he was suddenly sum-
moned to his home in Athens. His father
had been shot and was lying at the point
Of death. On the night before, the elder
Davaris, Col. Montague. rich American !;
and Cyrus Westerly an Englishman were
playing cards at Davaris's home. No one

but there was dispute; aquarrel; ashot
