~ from the Dutch "Kolfe," meaning
club, the derivation Of tennis is yet
more obscure. The best that can be
said Of it is that it is probably from
the old French "tenez," the impera-
tive Of tenir, to seize, or take, that is
the bail. Tennis as it is played in the
open, usually called lawn tennis" is
the legitimate daughter of the ancient
English game of racquet which was
played in the covered court, and there
fore the name tennis court" which Is
used for the place Of the game any
where.
Nobody can see a game Of lawn ten

played in America it is usually a social
game Of the sexes, and Dan Cupid is
often an invisible but very palpable
spectator, paradoxical as that may
seem The place of the play is a
court in more ways than one. For

say he was merely a stupid runian. It
Is due to this variance as we'll az to
the strangeness of his alleged ex-
ploits that Turpin figures as historic
BLACKBOARD. Here-as well as truth
can be separated from fancy-is the
usually accepted story Of his life:
R1chard-or Dick-Turpin was born
at Hampstead, England, in September.
1909. His parents were poor. They
apprent1ced him in early youth to q
butcher. But Dick took a more than
neighborly interest in other peoples

Ing steers that had been sent to his
employer for butchering. To steal
cattle in those days was a hanging
offense." Turpin fed for his life,
scoring the first of his many escapes
from justice.
He Joined a gang Of thieves and
became their leader. But he soon
tired of associating with rascals Of
duller brains than his own. More
over, their blunders or treachery
might add to his own danger. So he
left the gang after he had learned all
the villainies its members could
teach him.
Railroads and telegraph were not
yet invented. News travelled slowly.
So did everything. Now and then a
message or letter was carried fas,
across country, on horseback. with
relays Of speedy horses waiting from
point to point. But the usual mode of
travel was over heavy roads in a
heavier stage coach.

told them to stand there with their
faces to the wall, or be killed.

care that for you and your gun" re-
