CHAPTER XXXV. 

RALPH A PRISONER. 

At the appointed time, Ralph called again upon Horace Kelsey, and was given instructions in regard to the work he would be called on to do. 

"But you had better not start in until you hear from your mother," said the insurance agent. "She may wish you to pay a visit home before you settle down here." 

Ralph thought this good advice, and he resolved to act upon it. 

"I ought to get a letter by to-morrow noon or night," he said. "And I will wait that long. If I don't get word, I'll take the trip home anyway, seeing as you say you will be kind enough to wait for me." 

Kelsey then asked him what he intended to do while waiting, and learning Ralph had nothing in particular in view, he advised the boy to get a guide-book of the city and walk about, so that he might become familiar with the streets. 

"The work I have for you will take you out more or less," he said. "And it is a great help if you understand how to get around." 

At a nearby bookseller's Ralph purchased a guide-book for twenty-five cents. He studied it off and on the entire afternoon, walking around in the meantime. Before he retired that night at the hotel, he had taken in the city from Fourteenth street down to the Battery. 

"It's awful big and crooked," he thought. "But I guess I'll manage to get around, especially if I keep the guide-book on hand for reference."

(CNN) -- Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova will team up again to play at this year's Wimbledon championships. 

The popular pair won the 1999 and 2002 Australian Open doubles titles, but will be returning the SW19 to play in the legends doubles event for players who are retired from the professional circuit, the management company Octagon said Tuesday. 

Swiss star Hingis won five grand slam singles crowns and nine in doubles during a glittering career which ended under a cloud in 2007, when she was suspended for two years for testing positive for cocaine at Wimbledon. 

The 29-year-old denied taking the drug, but did not appeal the ban, which ended last September, prompting speculation that she may attempt a return to the WTA circuit. 

Kournikova is a year younger, but has not played regularly on the main tour for seven years after being hit by a string of injuries. 

The Russian, who reached a career-high of number eight, made it to the semifinals of the singles at Wimbledon in 1997, but grand slam success eluded her. 

The pair were once labeled as the 'Spice Girls' of tennis, with the height of their fame coinciding with the peak of popularity of the British all-girl band, which included David Beckham's wife Victoria. 

As well as winning two grand slam titles together, the pair also reached No.1 in the WTA doubles rankings. 

"I'm so excited to be returning to the UK to play doubles with Martina again," Kournikova told her official Web site. 

"This tournament has always held a special place in my heart, and it will be a great honor to play on the courts of Wimbledon again. I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun."
