the Importance Of creating three
Heart entries In the dummy hand. OF
course it was obvious that she should
win the first trick with the Queen of
Spades. That gave her a sure Spade
finesse and an entry in the Dummy
hand when making it; whereas If she
had won with the 10 and subsequently
led the Queen, she could not have
taken that trick in the Dummy Il
West had refused to cover with the
King. That would have cut off an
entry from Dummy and given one less
lead from that hand.
1T vas not by any means certain
that she would need all these m
tries. AS a matter Of fact, ii the
King of Diamonds had been located
in the West hand, only one Diamond
lead would have been required; but
it is always well to prepare for all
eventualities.

In analysing the exhibition game,
Mr.. Work said: 1.-THE play Of this

planning a campaign by observing
the possibilities and taking advantage
Of them. Had South not appreciated
that she might need three Diamond
leads and one Club lead from Dummy

carried two guns, raced along. one

You should have seen the crowds

We slumped in III seats and glared
while the taxi driver, expecting to
be shot any minute by q pair OF
escaped lunatics, burned his juice
and the miles flashed behind us.
AS We neared the airport, and our
tempers subsidized, l sensed more
trouble in store. The roads were
jammed with people and all kinds Of
conveyances, moving excitedly in the
same direction a. ourselves. An
unusual number Of airplanes were
maneuvering in all parts Of the

instant she had sfrieked, a signal for achievements. His
second shot had been at Bert, who was dashing wildly out
of the mansion and across the lawn, heading in my direc-
ton. Half a dozen murderous looking servants, armed with
sling-shots, swords, knives and guns, were on his heels!

1T seems that we're up against a

in low spirits. 1.-THE next move Is
his. I reckon. Ours is to get back
to Toxic, which will be an all-night
hike"
We were a sorry looking pair Of
maSqueraderS in III ShtntO toggery.
The road was deserted, virtually,
and the air was humid. Our feet,
unaccustomed to the tight sandals,
began to chafe. We threw the
sandals away. only to bruise our
soles and stump our toes OF small,
sharp stones. When We reached the
outskirts of the city dawn was
breaking, and we still had miles to
go. We were limping and ready to
drop in u tracks, covered with
dust. our faces streaked with grit,
perspiratiOn and the rouge We have
used to yellow our skins. Early
morning crowds assembling Oh the
streets stared at us in stark amaze

under. his breath. Pretty soon q

It wasn't a cop who brought
things to a head.
We bumped squarely into several
Shint0 monks Of the genuine trade
mark. There we were. face to face,
the real and the false. A movie
director in Hollywood would have
signed those faces, OURS and theirs,
at record breaking figures.
What happened?
We forgot our bruises and our
limps and the fact that Kasimu-
gaura was hours away. We forgot
that underneath robes we were
dressed only in our B. v. DIS. All
we though Of was the wrath and
vengeance about to burst from those
stricken pious faces. Like q pair Of
human darts we shot through the

made during our stay, all vastly
curious concerning our plans.

Our ship arrived and we were all
ready to take off when several
things occurred at once.

observed growing cold toward us,
positively refused to let us depart.
