But Roxane's love for Christian was
confessed more freely to Cyrano than to
Christian himself, and as for the rest of
the world, she hid it completely, fearing
the vengeance of the disappointed De
Guiche, who still pursued her with at
tentions. He had been made commander
of the army. He had it in his power to
send her lover to death. She beguiled
him little no wand then. and when
finally the orders came that the French
forces shoulc proceed to Arras she ar
ranged with him that the company of
Cyrano should be left behind-and in
that company was Christian, of whom
the lord commander had not heard.

the moment; for IL A does not do the

club presumably his weak suit he
must be strong in diamonds. If then,
A has strong trump hand he could
afford to force his partner by a con-
tinuation of the heart lead. which
would thus be interpreted by B. II.
however, A is only fairly strong in
trumps, weak in diamonds. it would
be better to lead trump. and B, IL
he takes the trick. and is up in his
part, will either return trumps or dis
continue as he thinks best But IL A
is weak in trumps and has some
strength in diamonds himself. 1t would

vigilant partner? 1t is warning that

strength in diamonds, and IL b believes
it best he can 90 ahead with trumps In
order to bring in his long suit. or with

of the hand. II, on the original lead by
A, BIS discard was a nine or ten, or
a higher card. then the probability

pens-as 1t sometimes does-that
partner had no lower card of the suit
in his hand to play, then. when he gets
in he will lead other than n trump

The above is only brief part OF
what might be said about the discard,
but sufficient at this time. and enough
to remind the whistler who is strug.
Cling to better his play how important
il is to know as much as possible about
the meaning of the discard when made
by player in whom a partner has
confidence as to his whist knowledge.
THE TALK Or THE TOWN"
The December number of Whist gives
an account in detail of the play OF
deal in recent contest between a pair
from the Knickerbockers and a pair
from the New York Club. the result
was so startling and the play 80 bold
and brilliant that it has been the talk
Of the town" ever since. Below is the
account verbatim. The swagger play
ers hereabouts with excellent memor-
les would not be surprised Il there
was some recollection of the peculiar
character of the hand when It camo
to the everyday. and govern them
selves accordingly:

adversaries. TO return you your suit

But keep in mind there are exceptions
to all rules.


to all rules
THE DISCARD.
It has occurred to the writer that
some Of our local minister's who try to
follow the usual conventions and
rules governing the game. that they are
not careful enough in making their dis
card. For instance: at a game OF
duplicate recently, one partner having
a good trump hand with honors in two
of the plain suits, brought out all the
trumps of the opponents in. the hopes
of establishing his partners long suit
if he had one. His partner having
shown out of trumps on the second
round, discarded a diamond on the
third. and as he had previously shown
out of clubs the inference drawn by
the trump hand was that his partner
strong suit must be hearts. The
trump hand being fairly long and
strong in hearts himself, at once led
his fourth best heart What was his
establishment to see his partner put
the nine on the ufck-tne
highest he had-and fourth hand
capture it with the ten. Result: The
opponents made their long club suit
and gain Of three on the hand Ii,
however, trump hands partner had
discarded the heart-his weakest suit
the trump hand would have led
him a STRENGTHENING diamond by which
every remaining trick would have been
captured and the game would nave
been at least three the other way. so
much for a discard which deceives a
partner. There are times, no doubt,
when 1t would not be prudent to let
the enemy know ones weakest suit by
the discard, just as there are times
when false carding will not hurt ones
partner by the deception; but great
care should be exercised in their use.
When the opponents are the trump
leaders and playing aggressively, then
a trick or two might be gained by the
practice. But if the trump strength is
with ones partner, then 1t seems 10
the writer there is nothing to lose
and much to gain by letting him know
as fully and quickly as possible
through the fall of the cards. what S
in his partners hand.
Speaking of discards, there Is no bet
ter method of informing partner the
state of ones hand than by the judi
cious discard. If partner is the leader
when the discard occurs he becomes
particularly responsible, and if vigilant
and careful will try to do the right
thing at the right moment. To Illus

into the task of showing cheerful Gas

at his captains command he stepped

his hand toward his comrades in arms.

my lord, Gascon cadets are they,

Cadets of Gascony are they.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

When partner leads originally the
two of trumps and his partner takes
the trick, it is generally best, if he
holds command of plain suit, to lead
a master card in that suit before re-
turning trumps. This is especially
in the suit he leads Why? Because
partner has but four trumps and no
other opportunity may offer to show
him your strong suit. Knowing your
best suit he is enabled, if he succeeds
in drawing all the trumps from the

Latchford Talks of Poets.

Henry Latchford delivered his lee
ture on Poets l Have Met" to an at
tentive and appreciative audience at
the First NJ. +. church last evening.
He related many entertaining Incl
dents which it had been his good for
tune to ENJOY with such distinguished
men of letters as Browning, Eliot,
Homer, Hugo, Carlyle and Tennyson.
Particularly interesting among these
"reminiscences was Mr.. Latchford S
narration of Victor Hugo's unfailing
love for children and the many ways
in which the old poet delighted the
poverty stricken little ones who came
in contact with his kindly nature.
The lecturer referred also to the lido
syncrasies of Carlyle and the simple
life of Tennyson who. though ele-
waited to be poet laureate of all Eng
land, preferred the companionshiP and
association of the lowly cOttager on
the hillside to the mingling with kings
and queens.
