and he asked her all about Julian

Julian and Sheila as a gentleman
could-delicately.

most uninformative answers. Joan

was not going to enlighten him.

that Julian and Sheila meant a great

that of Doctor Bendon-he was a
welcomed visitor; and he shrewdly
decided that if Myra Bendon were
his wife, his career would begin
under good auspices. He wooed the
girl-she was little taller than
he, plain and awkward, not beset
by suitors-and won her. Later,
when Doctor Bendon died, Doctor
and Mrs. Breeding came to live in
the old house that had been built
by her great-grandfather, a hun
dred years before.
Mrs. Breeding would have pre-
ferred more modern surroundings;
but her husband insisted. There
were in the old house many things
furniture, silverware and the like
which had been old and fine when
the house was new; and Doctor
Breeding had a keen appreciation
of these possessions. He took pride
in them, took pride in having
achieved them. But Mrs. Breeding
kept the old things from sense of
duty. There were a few things-a
vase, a modern painting or the like
which she had bought and against
the Doctors protests insisted on
keeping; and her own dressing
room, her particular domain, was
decorated and furnished in a mod
ernistic vein.
The house stood on half an acre
of well-landscaped grounds, with a
fine bay hedge in front, and flowers,
and a pool where goldfish swan,
and a tennis court. The tennis
court was at one side, and the wire
screen designed to catch stray
balls was itself overgrown by vines,
so that the court was hidden from
the eye of anyone not actually with
in the enclosure.

May, when spring was already full

blown, and the sun was warm-and
only a little while after Doctor
Breeding had assured Terrell that
Nancy was heart-free, the girl was
playing tennis with Dan Carlisle.
This young man was an assistant
professor of economics in the uni
versity, and his book on the bust
ness cycle had already won respect
full notice and was used as a text in
the business school. He telephoned
Nancy soon after lunch; asked
whether she were free. She told
him, eagerly, to come; and at a
little before three he arrived, to find
her driving balls against the batter
board at the end Of the court.
Doctor Breeding did not suspect
that those great plans he had
for Nancy were guessed by half the
world; but they were not ss secret
as he supposed. Thus when Dan
arrived. he peered through the gate
in the screen around the court,
and Kissed sharply. Nancy heard.
and called, "Oh, nello!" and she
came swiftly toward him
"Sh-h-h!" he warned her, finger

he whispered.

And without pause, they began
again; but Dams game now had
softened. She wor his serve, then
her own, and the first three points
of the next game. On the third
point he served a double fault; and
she picked up the balls and walked
toward the net. 4s. ta,

eyes were hot. Don't you suppose

"Why listen, Nance" he protest
ed. 'I- Well. as matter of fact"
he confessed honestly, II thought
you were pretty hot and tired.
We're not playing for blood. you
know!"
"I'm going to beat you if l can,"
she said furiously. "And you're to
beat me if you can. Is that clear?"
He hesitated, himself angry now.
Perfectly" he retorted then. "You
asked for it. I'll give it to you'll"
And he turned and stalked back
to the service-line. She took her
place to receive. Ready" he
barked.
She nodded, and the ball came
blazing at her. Her whole arm
tingled from the shock of it. Her
return caught the net cord, dropped
for an error.
His jaw was set, his face bleak.
"Ready?" He took the game. The
next. The next. He won five games
in row; and with the score two
five against her. she prepared to
serve.
Driving herself to the limit, she
served and came in. His return
was hot; she met it weakly, could
no more than pop the ball feebly in
to the air. She saw his body bend
backward for the smash, saw the
sweeping curve of his racket, heard
the explosion of the shot; and then
something struck her bare leg just
above the right knee.
She felt a pang like flame, a sick
ening agony. She heard his low cry
of dismay, and heard her own
voice in a keen fine wall of pain;
and the world swan and dissolved,
and she was on hands and knees,
on the ground, dizzy, almost faint
ing.
Then he was holding her in his
arms, and crying out regrets and
self-reproaches, and trying to lift
her; and the sandy surface of the
court abraded her bare knees; and
then she was being carried, and
abruptly she was being kissed, and
so forgot her hurts. Chaos resolved
itself into order again, glorious and
beautiful. She lay on turf, Graded
il his arms, clinging to him.
II didn't mean to, Nance?" he
cried desperately.
"Please mean to, Dan" she
whispered, drawing him nearer.
II don't mean-this," he con-
fessed confusedly. "Oh, I've meant
this, always, l think. Only l never
had the nerve. But-hitting you
