She failed. The crowd roared, applauded, looking toward Janls. It was the play-of- f of the womens single tennis championship. Janls was the favorite. And despite the fact that the sets were even and it had began to look as though Amy Eldredge might have a chance of capturing the match, Janis was still the favorite. Champions such as Janis dont lose their following in a breath. Janis heard the roar of the crowd as she had heard it oh hundreds of previous occasions. She turned automatically to look at them. Her gaze swept the sea of admiring faces, and didnt see them. Her mind moved swiftly. Kirk should be sitting in his usual seat Just behind the umpires stand. He had oc-cupied that seat every day during the matches. And yes, there he was. Her heart turned over. He wasnt looking at her. Of the hundreds of faces that were there his was the only one that wasnt turned in her direction. He was looking toward Amy. Just as he had constantly looked toward Amy every moment since the match got under way. Janis bit her lip and walked back to receive Amys serve. Her mind wasnt on the game. She was thinking of Kirk. Lots of girls thought of Kirk Francis, but not quite in the same way as Jani3 thought of him. Janis had been introduced to Kirk six months ago. It was at a week-enparty up in the mountains a winter sports affair. She had been tennis champion then and was quite an Important figure in the., world of sports. It was Kirks attitude that first attracted the girl. The fact that she was a tennis heroine didnt seem to affect him a bit For the first time since she had become famous, Janis met a man who treated her as he would any other human being. In fact, a month later, after they had become better acquaint d and were back in the city, Kirk admitted quite frankly that champions at anything gave him a pain in the neck. They had an exalted opinion of themselves and were quite put out if a lot of silly people didnt slobber over them. Janis had laughed, and loved him for .

Janis swift drive that had won for her the applause of the crowd was thel result of impulse, of a sudden impetu-- , ous desire to put the full strength of! her skill into the swing of the racket, to play her best, to win. But the feeling passed. Standing there, waiting for Amys serve, she was once more in control of herself, thinking of Kirk, willing to sacrifice her rating in the world of sport to bring him happiness with another girl. Somehow it all seemed incredible. It didnt seem possible she was actual-- , ly doing the thing.

The edge of her racket struck the bait; sent it spinning out of bounds. A murmur ran through the crowd. Janis took her stand, awaiting a new serve. It came. She swung swiftly. The ball crashed into her racket, rebounded, rushed back toward the other court, and then slap the net had stopped the play. Jams had to grip herself to go on. She wished it was over. Only two points more. She decided to dub them both, even; though they knew she was doing it on purpose. But nobody did know. Janis had sacrificed the game in a manner that gave all the credit to Amy. And for this she was thankGrim-face- ful. will pull you through where chains would leave you stranded in mud or sand. Firestone Ground Grip Tires for motor cars, trucks and tractors give the farmer greatest economy ever offered, and relief from being stranded on mud roads and in d, . soft ground. Why can Firestone give you these wonderful new tires with the wide tread that withstands this terrific pull and strain, and still does not destroy the cord body? Firestone can do this because the body of this tire is built with cords. Underneath the tread, the patented construction feature of two extra layers of High Stretch cords gives extra adhesion of the tread to the cord body, enabling Firestone Tires to hold on this heavy, tough, scientifically designed tread. This tire cleans itself on any kind of clay or soft ground, and the tread projections have been so placed, that they are always in contact with the road, doing away with any bumping. You cannot afford to be without these tires on your trucks and passenger cars. If your tractor is not equipped with rubber tires, see your nearest Firestone Service Gum-Dipp- ed Gum-Dipp- . .

Dont try to lie out of it, Janis. Maybe those other idiots didnt realize what you were up to, but I did. Janis caught her breath. Youll never tell on me, Kirk? . Why did you do it? Im sick of tennis and all the glamor, of being champion. I want to go away, and rest Forget it for a while. Lying again. That isnt so." It is. I mean every word of it. He studied her intently.
