CHAPTER NINE

KAY STRANGE, dressed IN
shorts and a canary colored woolly
was leaning forward watching the
tennis players. II was the semi
final Of the tournament, mems sin
giles, and Neville was playing young
Merrick who was regarded as the
coming star in the tennis hrma-
ment. His brilliance was undeni-
able-some OF his serves quite I'M
returnable but he occasionally
struck a wild patch when the old
er mans experience and court
craft won the day.
The score was three-an in the
final set
Slipping onto seat next TO
Kay, Ted Latimer observed in a
lazy ironie voice:
Devoted wife watches her hus-
band slash his way to victory!"
Kay started.
How you startled me. I didn't
know you were there"
Il am always there. You should
know that by this time"
Ted Latimer was Is and ex-
tremely good looking--even though
unsympathetic old colonies were
wont TO say OF him:
Touch OF the gigolo!"
He was dark and beautifully
sunburnt and a wonderful dancer.
His dark eyes could be very elo-
quent- and he managed his voice
with the assurance of an actor.
Kay had known him since she was
Is. They had oiled and summed
themselves at Juan les Pins, had
danced together and played tennis
together. They had been not only
friends but allies
Young Merrick was serving
from the left hand court. NeviIe's
return was unplayable, a superb
shot to the extreme corner.
-NeVile's backhand is good"
said Ted. It's better than his
forehand. Merrick's weak on the
backhand and Neville knows IT. He
is going to pound at II all he
knows how"
The game ended. -Four three

He took the next game on his
service. Young Merrick was hit
