, would ever get thruogh the morn | ing. She could still see A1an's white face and hear the scorchcing tone of his voice. Oh, there was no doubt that she had ruined every chance to make him care for her again! When lunch time came Gypsy was behind with the mornings work but she rose from her desk with relief She was glad of the chance to get away from the prying l looks of her neighbors. Of course they knew something was wrong. Even when they were congratulate ing her about the new job they must have seen she was miserable. Clara Howard had mentioned cir- cles beneath her eyes. Well-lit them talk!
 Gypsy went to the locker room for her coat and hat, pausing an in- stant before the mirror. She did look a fright. Automatically she drew the varity case from her purse a0l dt9ied ie eoS, M'th p9Wder. It was not a great improvement. counter she llnqhed on sandwich and cup of coffee. It was all she COulu cut. LNtll lllC COllcty WIllCI was always appetizing, did not tempt her.
 Twenty minutes remained of her lunch hour after she had finished eating. Gypsy decilcd to walk. Sho went out of the bu ld;nC, joinin,, the throng on the sidewalk.
 The air was cool but there Wal sunshine. Gypsy walked briskly. Twice she had to wait for traffic. Six blocks from the office buildina she turned and retraced her steps.
 The exercise was stimulating an, gradually the girl felt her courage revive. She would see Alan to- night and apologize. She would swear that she was sorry--shoulder all the blame. Not one word would she say about the other wopaan-- Mrs Langley. All that she would ask would be for Alan to forget their quarrel and remain friends.
 It was amazing how this resolu- tion improved her spirits. Gypsy, back at work, could scarcely wait for the afternoon to pass. She was suddenly herself again, energetic and eager. s
 At a little after three Mir Reyn olds was ready for the dictation The girl took her stenographic pad and went to the office at the far end of the corridor. Reynolds was one of the youngest men in the organi zation. He was a nephew-of mem Der of the firm. Gypsy had nev9r spoken to him.
 She knocked at the open door and the young man atsthe desk looked up.
 Miss McBride?" he asked. "Won't you come in?"
 Gypsy entered. took the chair he motioned toward. esS
 Miss Futile said yotf wanted to | dictate" she said.
 Reynolds nodded. He was well set-up young man with pleasant blue eyes and lightish brown hair. He had the look of a man who likes Eoutdoor activities. Without any de lay he launched ihto the waitins correspondence. He dictated clearly, not too rapidly. There was no reli
 son why Gypsy should have missed a word. yet when he had finishes
 and she closed her notebook the girl knew she had written the
 words automatically. (To De Continucd)

be calling you pretty soon." But he didn't.
 Sue sat around waiting for the telephone to ring. This was the first difference that she and Jack had had since the day that they had become engaged. She had forgotten |. almost that there could be tangled places to straighten.
 But I couldn't let Barbara get away wi htanything!" She said it fiercely, trying to convince herself. Girls have to be independent! Men don't like mice who are afraid to de- fend themselves"
 But she had implied that she lacked faith in Jacks legal ability! That she thought he couldn't put the case over! That was the thing that hurt. When he had been work ing so long and so tireiessly . when he had severed his connection with his fathers law firm in order to come to her fathers help. a.
 And she had tossed remark about the failure of the case as lightly as though she were speaking of the success of d pie or pudding.
 If Jack lost the case, he might feel that she blamed him! And then he would be through forever! She tried to think just what she had said and couldn't, so she magnified it un-

til it seemed to her that she had shouted a regular harangue on the coming defeat But if he won, he might be too disgusted, too hurt, too tired of 1t all to want her any long CT. And it was all her fault!
 A saner voice tried to tell her that she hadn't done anything that the chances were 10 to 1 that Jack hadn't even caught the impli- cations in her remark but the wisp of a new spring moon shining in at her window wouldn't let her be sane.
 Maybe Jack had taken Barbara just because he wanted to see her again. Men did things of that Sort sometimes, of course. And no girl must ever be waiting Cinderella, for of all roles, that was the most unsuccessful.
 She tossed restlessly all night. Jack hadn't called. When the door, bell rang as she was pretending to eat breakfast she jumped up quick ly, suddenly relieved. Of course he had come!

The auction bidding. of the above hand does not involve any situations worthy of serious consideration.
 After a pass by North and East a one no trump by South should close the bidding. The only bid apt to be questioned is the pass by West A bid of two spades by West, how ever, seated to the left of no trump declarer, very frequently drives the opposition out of the no trump into a suit bid which is more profitable than the no trump.
 Vests opening lead of the four of spades prevents South from mak- ing more than three odd against any kind of thoughtful defense. Ii South is foolish enough at any time of the play to take the diamond flnesse he cannot possibly make game.
 With the opening lead of the king of spades (indefensible from Vests holding) South would doubt less appraise the joint trick possi- bilities as four odd--one spade, one diamond, five clubs and three heart tricks. sS,s i.il|
 Vests low spades lead. however, is won by East with the queen. East is now compelled to choose between hearts and diamonds for his reurtn lead. The diamond suit is slightly stronger, but both are certainly worthless against a no trump declaration. There is always a very small margin of probability that no trump declarer is stronger in a minor than in a major suit. With dummy showing practically the same strength in the two suits. most experienced players would re- turn heart.
 If Wet would have false led with the deuce instead of the four of spades (his fourth best), and then later discards a small spade while South is playing the club suir. South's fear of game-killing spade suit may be allowed.
 In that event, East would have held the queen and the two E.iss- ing small spades; nevertheless . his return of another suit up to weak ness in the dummy would still be thoughtful playing. Even though Vests remaining three spades would be good, another trick would he needed to save game. and it Is very certain that East will never again find himself in the lead to send any suit through the declarer's strength up to the weakness of the dummy.
 If the diamond is led at trick two, South must chamber up with, his ace in order to make sure of game.
 Whether the truthful four spot or the untruthful deuce should be led is a matter for each individual ts decide for himself. Ny experi- ence in this regard has shown greater losses than gains in decep- tive leading. W (Copyright. 1930, NEA Service. Incl

 The tilt of Miss Tuttle's head in- dicated that Gypsy was to return to her work. She went back to the outer office.
 "What happened?" Jean Foster tried to keep her voice down but Gypsy was aware the others were | listening.
 Nothing"
 "Was Futile sore about anything Did she bawl you out?" Gypsy shook her head. Jean sighed with relief. "Well, that's great! Gosh-Ive been sit ting here shivering. Know what I thought? I was just sure it was something to do with those figures we copied the other day. You re- member-when you were in a hurry | to meet your boy friend! Say-if I'd gotten you in bad I'd never have | forgiven myself"
 Don't worry any longer" Gypsy told her. She placed a fresh sheet of paper in her typewriter. Ap- parently intent on getting the sheet | just right, Gypsy kept one eye on | Clara Howard.
 There was a pause. Then Gypsy added casually. "Mr Reynolds sec retary is quitting and they've ! offered me the job.' "Gypsy--how marvellous" There were general congratula- 1 tions. The other girls who had tried to conceal the fact they were listen- | ing now gathered around Gypsy s desk. There were excited comments. >t,1I girl someone to take Gypsy's s changes? Wasn't she thrilled? "Just look at her!" Jean ex- claimed. We're all excited and Gypsy's calm as a judge. Would you ever think she'd just got a raise. And a swell-looking boss like MT Reynolds too! Say, Gypsy, you certainly are the lucky girl" Gypsy tried to answer their ques- | tins and turn aside the jokes. In a few minutes the others were at their desks again and she was able to go on with her typing. Her fingers, she discovered. were clumsy.
 Lucky girl" was what Jean had called her. Lucky? Of course. Wasn't she going to get a raise The job she had hoped for without much encouragement for over a year? Lucky? Of course she was lucky!

ACCIDENT OCCURS IN
 STORE FURNACE ROOM
Body Is Found with Head Twisted Under 1t by
 M. H. Truesdell

Accidental death by suffocation" was the verdict of the coroner s jury that Saturday night inquired into the demise of Ernest Lee Pull yer, 61 years old, pioneer jewelry worker of Juneau, a few hours aft CT it's occurrence. His tragic end resulted from a fall down the stairs to the furnace room of the Valen- tine Building, and in striking the floor he was rendered unconscious with his head twisted under his body in such way as to prevent him from breathing
 No doubt he had started down the stairs, which are very steep with narrow treads, to shut off the oil furnace, which was generating excessive heat. Quite probably he pitched head foremost from the top step.
 No one witnessed the accident. The jewelry store off the rear of which is the little room containing the trap door leading to the fur mace room stairway, was vacant at the time sa- ssssA

Truesdell, gunsmith and dealer in fire arms, whose place of busi- ness is on the Seward Street side of the Valentine Building, and who having entered the jewelry store to see MT. Pulver, was attracted to the furnace room by the noise of the furnace. MT. Truesdell fixes the time about o'clock in the evening. He felt the prostrate figures hand. It was still warm. He hastened to the second floor of the Valentine Building to the law office of A. w. Fox who was talking with G. w. Nostrand, deputy Ter ritorial auditor.
 On being informed of the oc- currence they telephoned to United States Commissioner Charles Sey, who is also coroner, and to the of flee of United States Marshal AL bert White.
 No Foul Play Evident
 Deputy United States Marshal c. J. Sullivan visited the scene of the accident. He concluded at once death was accidental He sum- moned a coroner's jury at the di- rection of the Commissioner, and the body was removed to the Charles w. Carter Mortuary.
 The inquest was held in the par Tor of the mortuary at 8:30 o'clock, Saturday evening. The jurors were E. F. Rodenberg, J. N. Wahl, U. G.. Norton, C. c. Rudolph, F. w. Heniker and R. R. Hermann
