did not know that Dona had done
the same thing several days before.
He was mulling over the signifi-

through the timber and finally left
the trail where it crossed the ridge.
Finally they halted before the
cabin where Stan had been held
prisoner. Asper noted grimly that
he had not checked his country
very well. The evidence of the
cabin had been unknown to him.
Swergin forced him to diSmount
and made him enter the log shack.
With rope, he tied Asper to the
same wall he had tied Stan to.
You : better reconsider this, :"
Asper shouted angrily.
Well tell you what we aim to
do, later Swergin answered as he
strobe away.
Asper could hear him giving his
man orders. Ride back down and
tell the boys to clean up the last of
the timber and head out with it."
A few minutes later Swergin re-
turned. HeeSat down on a sawed
stump and began pulling OF his
cowboy toys.

Get rope and tie his hands in

The man who had showed the
rifle into Asper's back rode around
in front and dismounted.
Swergin covered his employer
with his six gun while the man pro-
ceeded to tie Asper fast to his own
saddle horn.

stuff" Asper growled.
If you'd have kept your nose out
of Pass Greek for another day, you
would have saved yourself a lot of
trouble" Swergin said as he tested
the rope that held his boss.
fYou are as low as they come,
Swerginl" ASper fumed.
Send him on ahead" The timber
boss paid no attention to Asper's
wrath.

He was staring into the face Of his
timber boss.
"Swerginl" Asper exclaimed, but
he did not lower his gun.

growled.
Asper crowded close. "I'I take

added. Just to make sure"

protested angrily.
Asper faced his foreman after re-

Swergin lowered his arms and
shifted his weight in the saddle.

Distinctly through the dawn came
the rumble of truck motor. The
old timber man listened.

he sent his horse toward the sound.
A SPER rode down the steep slope

hundred yards when his horse broke
through a thick growth of scrub
oak and walked into a beaten trail.
Asper halted to look around
carefully. The trail was higher up
than would have been reasonable
for a horse or pack road. Any
builder of trails would have crossed
the divide lower down in the saddle
to avoid the climb around the
mountain unless he wanted to hide
his path.
The old timber king bent and

tracks. Some one had gone down

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

IF you read "Turnabout" or 1.-THE
a Night Life of the Gods" you
know that Thorne Smith can pro-
duce a kind of depraved humor
which is so terribly funny that it
actually hurts.
He has written new one, now,
"The Bishops Jaegers," and it is
my sad duty to inform you that
it isn't quite up to standard.
In spots it is completely hilarious,
but in other spots it is a bit la
bored and the laughs are a trife
forced. Still, taking it all in all, it
has it's moments.
This book brings together a young
business man, a portly bishop, a
pickpocket, a former artists model
named Aspirin Liz, a society girl,
stenographer and a duck named
Havelock Ellis.
All these people Except the duck)
embark at New York on Hoboken
ferry. A fog comes up and the ferry,
getting lost, drifts about the ocean
a1mleSsly for a couple of days, until
our friends get a lifeboat and strike
out for shore on their own hook.
Landing somewhere on the Long
Island coast, they plop into mud
ist colony which they are forced to
join. 1t is there, by the way, that
Havelock Ellis, who likes to nip peo-
pie meets them
Fleeing, unclad, from the nudiSt
colony, this merry crew brings the
book to a climax when it acciden-
tally gets into an oceanside amuse-
ment park and lands in the strong
arms of the deeply puzzled law.
AS you can imagine, all this pro-
vides a good deal of rather bawdy
fun. This book, by the way, is not
for your Aunt Emma.
Published by Doubleday, Doran &
Co., the book costs 81.

TWO original forcing suit bids
4 are employed in the one over
one system. They are:
/. The original forcing suit bid of
two, which will be explained today.
2. The original forcing suit bid of
three, which will be explained in
the next article.
The principal difference in the
two bids is that the original bid
der, when making forcing suit bid
of two, is prepared to allow his
partner to become the declarer-in
other words, his hand safely can
become the dummy at a no trump
contract and even, possibly, at a
suit that may be named by partner.
However, when making an origi-
nal forcing suit bid of three, the
original bidder makes the statement
that he desires to be the declarer
on this hand and that he has no
desire to play the hand at no
trump contract.
This is an important point to
bear in mind when employing these
two bids.
THE most abused bid at contract
Il bridge today is the forcing two
bid. The majority o. experts who
today use and advocate the forcing
two bid in connection with the one
over one system find only rare OPP
portunlties to employ this forcing
original bid.
An original suit bid of two shows
a power-house hand with no more
than three losing cards, and hand
that can go down and become the
dummy.
It not only demands that partner
keep the bidding open, but places
an obligation upon both partners
to keep the bidding open until the
final declaration is a game-going
contract, even though partners
hand is trickless.
An exaggerated example is as
follows: The original bid is two
hearts. Holding less than a trick,
the proper response is two no trump.
The original bidder then bids three
diamonds.
The bidding must be kept open,
therefore if neither suit can be
supported, the proper response is
three no trump.
If the original bidder then goes
to four clubs, partner now is re-
quired to support one of the three
suits or to bid four no trump.
Of course, the naming of three
suits is very rare, but the example
is given to show that the bidding
must continue until the final

CWERGIN twisted farther around

CLINT in the mans eyes that warned
him of trouble, but he was not quick
enough to meet it.
A rife barrel jammed into the
small of his back and he knew he
had made a mistake. Swergin had
friends with him.

from behind ordered.

declaration is going con-
tract.
An original suit bid Of twois made
on hand containing five or six
high card tricks, but even this num-
Der Of quick tricks is not sufficient
if more than three of the smaller
cards are losers.
THERE are indeed few hands in
Il a years time that meet the
strong requirements of this bid, and
when in doubt as TO whether the
hand meets these requirements, it
is my advice either to open the
hand with two no trump, if it will
meet those requirements; or one no
trump, which shows a very strong
hand; or one of a suit, as partner
will keep the bidding open with as
little as a trick in one hand with
at least a bid of one no trump.
An original game demand suit
bid of two requires partner to make
bid even though his hand is trick
less and places an obligation on
both him and the original bidder
to keep the bidding open until the
final contract is at least a game
going declaration.
There are two types of responses
one is known as a positive re-
spouse and one as a negative re-
Spouse. The negative response is
two no trump and is made with a
trickleSs hand.
The positive response is either a
suit bid or a bid of three no trump.
To make this positive response,
partner is required to hold either
an ace or one and one-half high
card tricks.

CHAPTER FORTY-FIvE


A SPER went to Dona's room that
4 n night to make sure she was
resting well. He meant to be off
for Pass Greek long before sun-up
next morning
Dudley was sitting attentively be-
side her. Asper stayed half hour
and when he got up to go, nodded
for Dudley TO follow him.
I'll have to ride out tomorrow
morning on an important matter, p"
he spoke grayely. Don't mention
1t to Dona and stay with her. See
that she is moved out on the porch
and made comfortable"
Dudley smiled and slapped Asper
on the arm. He was in rare good
spirits. III take care of Dona. You
better be careful of yourself and
land get back on time" Dudley
could not help adding this bit of
advice.
Asper turned to his room. He
went inside and got out his old re -
volver. He had decided not to take
any men with him. They would be
IN the way, in case he wanted to
scout around quietly.
Asper Delo suddenly had decided
that he was on the track of all of
his troubles. Stan Ball had con-
WINGED him that there was a reason
for all this trouble beyond a feud
between them, and Asper was a
man who liked to get at the bottom
of things.
The next morning he was up and
had dressed before dawn. He left
the building without making a
sound.
Down at the corrals all was quiet
and he was able to saddle a horse
without disturbing any one.
The cold morning air struck him
in the face as he headed toward the
Pass Creek trail. Asper smiled
grimly as he thought of Ball.
This time he would be as wary as
an old fox. There would be no way
laying along the trail. If Ball was
just drawing him on, the gunman
would be fooled.
For several miles he followed the
beaten trail, then as gray dawn be-
gan to light the woods he took to
cover and moved carefully from one
patch of timber to another.
He rode with eyes and ears alert
and kept his heavy gun ready for
instant action.
ASpers route took him high along
the side of the mountain and
brought him out above the low sad
die of the divide that separated
Pass Greek and Three Rivers.
On a rocky point overlooking the
valley he was about to. explore, As
per halted and began to make a
general survey of the canyon be-
low. A light breeze was tanning up

AS quickly as he had undressed
he dressed again in lumberman's
toys which were hanging on the
log wall.
Cant you let an old man sit
down?" Asper demanded. ~
Swergin kicked the stump he had
used as chair toward his former
boss. Squat on that and take It
easy while you can" he sneered.

An Opportunity.
(Anchorage Times.) )


 Southeast Alaskans should set themselves to the task immediately of persuading the Detroit gold seekers to turn their attention to prospecting on the Alaska side of the international boundary where there are many very promising mineralized The fact that the Lizard district of Southern Yukon has been reported upon adversely should not be permitted to send the Detroiters home discouraged The abandonment of that project, with all of it's costly preparation in the way of equipment and airplanes for transportation will have the effect of turning that influential group permanently against mining ventures of all sorts if they are permitted to return to the States without having their atten- ton directed to of the promising regions of the Northland, where a fraction of the amount expended on the Liard expedition would keep sev- eral prospectors in the field for full season or more with reasonable chance of uncovering some- thing really worth while.
 The Valdez Creek district is likely place for such an exploration It is a proven placer and there is room there for a lot of prospecting bnation because they have ample finances to under take explorations in region where the cost of prospecting is beyond the of the average gold seeker. And there many other regions throughout the Territory where amply financed prospecting might bring in producers of sufficient richness and extent to satisfy the ambitions of those who backed the Lard expedition. In any case, they should be informed of the fact that these are inviting localities in Alaska much easier of than the Lard and with the right sort of formation to encourage the belief gold can be found there.
 Alaska needs prospectors who are not continually handicapped by the necessity of frequent nterrup- ton to additional funds to carry their work and it will be unfortunate thing indeed if those Detroiters allowed to go home with the mistaken notion that the Liard presents the best the North has to offer in the way of prospecting areas.

MOWERS DISARMAMENT PLANS
 ARE BOLD.

The new disarmament program of President Hoover, announced from Washington, is revo- lutionary in it's scope and transcending in it's bold It is the most radical reduction plan yet sug gested to an armament-ridden world whose debts from past and preparations for ones to come in the future have swept many nations to the verge of insolvency The most radical except one. and that the Soviet proposal for complete abolition of military and naval forces
 There is very little chance that either France or England, and none that Japan will consider the Presidents plan very seriously France has before this rejected less drastic programs designed to re- duce expenditures for military and naval establish ments, arguing with considerable logical force that she must first have adequate security guarantees from the other great powers including the United States. Our own country has decided in no un- certain manner it will not enter into security pacts" to bring aobut partial disarmament It will hardly do so in the present instance even though it might lend more weight to President
