"Nothing--knowing Dicky," re-

Mother Graham. just give her hint
of why YOU want Katherine, and her
Notwithstanding soul will straighten
Dicky out admirably, so he will not
suspect anything"
You are very wise, shrcwd and
helpful lady, my dear, commented Lii
liam, and there was an approval in her
voice which made my heart beat high
with pleasure and it partly atoned to
my soul for my littleness of few MIN
utes before. And when, at last the day
katherine had named in her telegram
came, and l drove Lillian to the sta
ton to meet her, there was nothing in
my heart but joyous loving welcome for
my cousins wife.
"Oh! Boy!"
We saw her before the train stopped,
| for in an eagerness almost child-llkc,
| she had come as near as she possibly
could to the steps of the ear. And my
thoughts went back swiftly to the days
when had first met her, and she had
crept swiftly and surely into my heart.
! She was rs slender, as agile, as girl
| ish in general appearance as she had
been then. But the face under the modish
gauzy brown veil was thinner than
! liked TO see it and bore only too plainly
the traces of q spirit depressed, of an
individuality trying to fit itself into a
mold planned by some one else.
l was suddenly glad hercely glad
that my brother-cousin had gone 40
far away. ] hoped he would wait a
long while before returning long enough
to give this high-spirited girl n chance
to be her untrammeled self again.
And then had advanced to meet her,
Lillian close by my side, and Katherine
had set down her bags mechanically
and stared at me as if ! were wrath.
"But-but--" she stammered, turn
ing to Lillian, surely | read your wire
faright Didn't you say that"
That Madge had nervous break
down and needed you," Lillian inter
posed smiling. "Of course | did, and
hope your dear husband was satisfied
with the reason for bringing you out
here
She looked at lis with startled eve,
that began after a second to brim with
mischief"
"You mean"
THAT Madge's nervous prostratior
really is my need for your help in q BIT

and was on wheels, too. He had small
eyes and very large ears and a very
thick body; but the thing that bothered
the ZOO jewellers was the fact that he
had two tails.
Even Big Brown Bear had never met
in his widest day ANYTHING like the
stranger, .and Nine. Cow said as the
stranger seemed to be a very quiet

ARTICLE ~.
No Trump Declaratio ns.

Many players are at sea as TO what
really constitutes a sound Initial one
No Trump declaration. They look over
their cards, find no long Major suits,
and bid No Trump, because they see
several face cards and perhaps an Ace.
II may be sound No Trump and may
be not. One is IA likely ms the other.
A sound one No Trump hand must
have little more than average high
car strength with three guarded suits.
Experience shows that the greater
strength should equal the value Of a
Queen.
There are two good methods OF cal
culating No Trumpers. One is by the
Robertson rule, which is universally
accepted by the English Bridge writer's
and in London Clubs The other
method is based on the scale used in
Auction Pitch land which, although both
sound and simple il put forward by
only one American writer. IL is approved
and used, however. by many good
PLAYERS.
The Robertson rule makes Aces count
/ points, Kings, r, Queens, 3, and Jacks,
/ / Under it three guarded suits with 10
points is a sound one No Trump. The
average hand should contain the equiva-
lent Of mn Ace, King, Queen and Jack
/ which would count up 10 points IA
all An additional Queen value Of 3
/ makes up the necessary 10 points.

Trump. Eleven points with two guarded
suits is weak No Trump. Ii is only
Jack value above the average hand in
stead OF a Queen value
Sixteen Points Two No Trump
For two No Trump add the equiva-
lent Of an Ace or four points TO your
standard one No Trump making 16
points. That is, the equivalent Of one
additional sure trick
Unless you are an experienced player
two suit No T.umps are too risky as
you must depend on your partner for
both your weak suits. The odds are
about four TO one against his being
strong in both incidentally, the weaker

observe in his bidding.
Here are several sound one No Trump
declarations, based on three guarded
suits with the face cards counting II
points.

Ilearts-Ace and three small.
Diamonds-Three small.
Clubs Ace and three small.

THE WAY KATHERINE
TOOK LILLIAN'S NEWS

An unworthy little feeling, not positive
enough to be dubbed envy or jealousy,
hut having in it elements of both emo
tons, sprang into lite at Lilhan's words.

my thoughts was chilled. Then, with a
swift reaction--a feeling of abysmal
disgust Mt my own httleness-I scourged
from my soul every vestige of the
thought and l frantically hoped that
Lillian's keen eyes had not detected
any trace of 1T in my face.
That | would never know, however,
and we went on with our plans for
katherine's coming which included Civ

Lillian said, but | simply am at my

quietly, "and | think l do, there will be
