For the first time since the advent Of

She had all the trumps, and he didn't
get Il trick. His first impulse was to
leave the table and call her cheat,
but something in her look quleted him
down, so he muttcred:
'I'll give you game just to encour-

She played, and while Mr.. Bowser
got two tricks she scored her point and
won the game, He looked at her with
a January expression, but had nothing
to say. He had the four bowers and
. the Joker under his thumb and was
stacking the hand. When the cards
ran off and hearts came trumps, how
ever, he had only one Ia his hand and
was obliged to pass. She made It next
and took every trick.
"Why-why did you make it next2"
he demanded.

got one point in the game. He didn't
lay it to luck, however, but to Mrs.

table, he said:
