She was the only woman he
had ever known who did not
say, long after love had per-
ished, do you remember-"
She answered, as steadily as
she could, Il didn't mean to,
you know that. Lynn-Lynn
means a great deal to me. Oh,
why can't you let her alone,
David? Why can't you let
her alone? She's so young"
"And I'm so old?" he muir
INJURED wryly.
mo: 1 didn't mean that"
She didn't. Old? Dwight? Not
by any standards.
What did you mean?" he
pressed her.
Is She Innocent?
"She doesn't know much
about life. She's pretty inno-
cent, David"
Lynn? Lynn" His voice
was tender; he couldn't, for his
life. prevent it. How old is
she-twenty-two? Twenty-Five
year-old girls nowadays, dear
Sarah-!" =
"Oh, why do you twist the
things I say? I don't mean
she's ignorant of pitfalls. Lynn's
modern enough, sane enough.
for that matter. But she doesn't
know what life can do to-to
a girl. David, she's happy;
she's in love. Tom Shepard's
a decent boy. They'll quarrel
and be reconciled q hundred
times before they marry. Can't
you let her alone, leave her to
him? She belongs to him."
Does she?" His eyes were
unpleasant. "If she does, then
why worry? She won't be
hurt. No one will be hurt ex-
<cept, perhaps. myself"
A clear enough acknowledge
ment. Sarah felt that she did
not want him to be hurt; she
couldn't endure it; she would
sacrifice anyt hin g-herself,
Tom. Lynn, even Lynn.
But that was madness. With
the balanced cells of her brain
she knew that David Dwight
would not be hurt, not really;
or thought she knew it.
She said: you do love her,
then? But you won't be hurt,
David. You-you'Ve cared for
women before"
yes. And had them, for
the most part" he agreed
cheerfully, brutally, land lost
them, somehow; and been hurt
for a time. But"
Don't say it,"
1t was on his lips to say,
"But this is different" Sarah
had heard that before. For a
moment they stared at each
other across miles, across years.
Just a Fool
She said bitterly, 1--WE been
a fool. 1 never thought, never
dreamed"
why not? YOU knew me,
Sarah; you have known me for
a long time" he reminded her.
"Yes; but Lynn! My friend,
my"-she STUN b e d, said it
bravely-"my almost daughter:
the daughter I might have
had"
Sarah, do you realize you're
talking like a bad play?"
"Oh, perhaps. Life is like a
playa very bad play, l ex-
pect. But to use me as a con-
venience!"
"Is that where the shoe
pinches, Sarah?"
In part, it was. But she
had herself in hand now.
She answered, "No, not alto

Are you sure it's happi-

Our Many Selves

By AL1NE M1CHAELlS
Our Many Selves
There are so many selves
In you and me;
Some selves are crushed and
bound,
Some joyous, free.
There is the self that seeks,
In all things, good,
And the dark, stranger self
Of evil mood.
Some selves are filled with love
For all mankind,
While some to others needs
Are deaf and blind.
These selves that rend and
tear
Our hearts in two,
Why must they, warning,
dwell
In me, in you?
Is it to find us kin
In every land,
That we may read all souls,
And understand?

z made an opening bid OF
Heart. A passed his bidding
values. Y bid 2-ClubS. z bid
2-Hearts. When Y bid 3-ClubS,
2 bid 3-No TrumpS. OF course
A might have saved four tricks
If he had suspected what fol-
lowed. A led his fourth-beSt
diamond. rs j won the trick,
and he proceeded to establish
his clubs. He led his K, and
found that the three opposing
clubs were held by A. The 7
of Clubs was covered by AS
10. and dummy's j won the
trick. The 9 of hearts was led
from dummy, and B covered
with his 10, to force the de-
clarer to again enter dummy,
for second lead through of
hearts. rs j won the heart
trick, and he led back his last
Club, capturing AS Q with
dummy's Ace. Four leads OF
Clubs enabled z to discard his
lone spade and his three re-
manning diamonds. Then the
S of Hearts was led from
dummy; rs @ won the trick,
the Ace of Hearts caught BIS
K, leaving nothing except heart
winners in the declarer's hand.
He made grand slam, winning
one Diamond, seven Clubs, and
five Heart tricks.
z could not have gone game
at hearts. A would have led
his K of Spades, dropping the
declarer'S lone j. Seeing seven
Clubs in dummy, A might have
led a low club, and B would
trump the trick.
Certainly he would have tried
a lead back of a diamond, if he
we're inspired; unless he had his
wits about him, B might have
led back a spade. When A made
the opening lead of his K, he
said plainly: Partner, I hold
more than two spades. Had A
held only the AK of spades, he
would have led his Ace. A would
have won the diamond trick,
and B would have ruffed an
other lead of clubs. No sane
play by ABB would have allowed
z to go game at hearts.
Y could have gone game at
clubs, losing only one diamond
trick and one spade trick, as Y
could have discarded all his &c
naming losers on his partners
hearts.
A missed a great opportunity
for game when he failed to
make an informatory double of
the opening bid. Players should
not neglect such chances. Sup
pose A doubles the opening bid
of Heart; that Y bid 2-Clubs,
and that B ventures to bid 2
Spades, chiefly because the
opening lead must come up to
him, and he is void of clubs.
Certainly A must support such
a voluntary bid. Suppose that B
is allowed to play the hand at
4-Spades. What will happen?
z cannot make a lead, except
the Ace of hearts, which B can
not win. AS the cards lie B
can go game against any de-
fenSe. He can win three trump
tricks in dummy; he can win
three diamond tricks, after
trumps are out, by leading dia-
monds through 2: he can trump
clubs three times. and he must
win one heart trick, by throwing
z in the lead with a diamond,
obliging him to lead the hearts
up the declarer.

Chapter Eleven

Bob Cattle, manager Of the
Kuali Plantations. Ltd, visits
Singapore about once a week.
On his next trip in, he looked
me UP and earnestly sought my
advice on the best means of
hunting down the animal that
was terrifying the whole region
In which his company operated.
Cattle wanted me to return
to the rubber estate with him
the following day to see II l
couldn't figure out an effective
way of battling this striped
demon. I was unable to &C
company him. however, as was
scheduled to leave for Siam the
following day and couldn't
possibly postpone my mission.
But I went on to say that
the advice would give him
II I visited Kuali AID looked
over the scene of the animals
depredations probably wouldn't
differ a bit from what 1 ven
tured to suggest as we sat there
at the hotel that day.
"I hope there are no more
killings" I said, "but if there
should be one, you'll have to
let the body stay where the
tiger left it if you expect to
shoot the villain" "a tiger on
killing his victim usually eats
his fill, repairs to his lair to
sleep it off and returns later
to the scene of his killing to
gorge himself all over again0
Cattle shook his head.
That's out" he said.
II know what you're going to
tell me-" I replied. Its against
the law"
Exactly so," said Cattle.
Then you'll have to break
the law" + insisted. There
are times when it's got to be
done"
"I'd like to-" said Cattle, "but
it would raise the very devil.
You know how superstitious
these Chinese are. I'd never
get another days work out Of
them if they caught me using
o human body as bait"
Chinese LabOrers
All the heavy work at Kuali
AS in other parts of the
Straits country-is done by
StraitS.born Chinese. If
planter wants to clear off
thousand acres of jungle these
are the men he selects for this
strenuous assignment. Lighter
and more skillful work, like the
tapping of rubber trees, is done
by the Tamils. The Malays
participate very slightly in any
of these activities. They live
among themselves in settle
ments of their own where
most of them confine their am
bitions to raising enough food
to provide for their own needs
and those of their dependents.
Some of them trade in jungle
produce, others specialize IN
fishing, trapping or rattan
gathering, and around the plan
tations they act as caboons or
gardeners.
Cattle went on to remind me
of the tremendous respect that
the Chinese have for the dead.
He could not afford to tamper
with this feeling. 1t would mean
antagonizing the men who did
all the back-breaking work on
his rubber plantation, and that
would slow up production and
bring down on him the wrath
Of the owners.
80 you'd better give me some
constructive advice, Buck" he
said, solemnly.
"No," I said. You won't
take constructive advice. Twelve
killings is getting pretty close to
a worlds record, Bob. You're

CHAPTER XXI


Dwight leaned against the
window frame. Sparring for
time, he said a thing which
was small and mean; which he
regretted.
He asked lightly, mot jeal'
Gus, are you, Sarah?"
She flushed, without beauty.
She answered. her eyes on his,
mo, I'm not jealous, David.
I'm afraid"
But she was jealous. She
knew it; and she knew she
must scotch the little snake
at her heart.
While he murmured, "Shut
the door. Come in. You can't
stand there. What will people
say?' and laughed a little, re-
membering, perhaps, as she
forlornly remembered, time
when what people sailor
thought-had meant SO little
to her, to both of them, she,
tried to destroy her enemy.
She tried to think, Of what
am I jealous? Not of his love,
or of his desire for another
woman. Not jealous of Lynn.
Oh, not that! Jealous it might
be, of all Lynn stood for:
youth, grace, laughter, life.
Jealous, too, of David's per-
sonal integrity, of the delicate
balance of that unacknowl-
edged relationship which was
between them. So she said,
shutting the door and COM
ing into the room:
David, you've got to be
honest with me. You've al
ways been honest with me
before. You can't do this to
Lynn. You can't do it to
me-"
He had not made a name
for himself by being insensi-
tive and blind. He couldn't
turn this Oft lightly, with a
word of reinsurance. Sarah,
don't be silly. There's moth
ing in it. Can't I be atten-
tive to a pretty girl" plain
lively, without your getting
all worked up over it? Run
along to bed, do, there's a
darling" No, he couldn't say
that. Instead, he said:
sit down. Well talk this
thing out"
Sudden Fatigue
She sat down, docilely
enough. He took a chair near
her. He was tired, he discov-
cred suddenly. Yet a moment
before he had been so far
from tired.
1t struck him as enormously
comic, as tremendously tragic,
that he and Sarah Dennet
should be sitting thus, alone,
at this time of night. Once,
a thousand years ago, it had
been heaven to be with her
thus, alone. Why not now?
Fleetingly he thought that
the question contained most of
the love tragedy in the uni
verse.
He turned his attention to
Sarah. She was sitting YEARLY
IN the deep chair, relaxed, in
strangely humble position,
somehow, for one usually so
sure of herself. There isn't
much use lying-to her-he
thought; she always knew when
I lied. If I could put her in
the wrong, get at this from an
angle Instantaneous to her!
1t was not unkindness or
even self-protection. He was
merely not a lawyer for moth
ing, as his clients very we'll
knew.
"Sarah"-his voice was a
shade reproachful-"aren't you
taking an unfair advantage of
me?"
She knew what he meant,
shrank back against the chair.
They hadn't, for years, spoken
of the days gone by. They had
agreed to that. No use stirring
embers; and when embers have
become ashes, even more futile
to blow upon them and watch
the gray wisps drift upon un-
caring air.
He had liked that about her.

The Beauty
Box

Fussing with the finger tips,
pulling at nail cuticle, keeping
hands on the move all the
time are symptoms of nervous
ness. Old Mister Wise Doc
says that nerves at the finger
tips are particularly sensitive
and delicate, communicating di-
rectly. with the nerves of the
brain, and nervousness of
digitS is difficult to overcome.
Still and all, one might make
the effort to cultivate tranquil
hands.
Dentists say that the average
human creature makes a slip
Shod job of tooth scrubbing.
The face of a tooth is nice and
clear. but the sides don't get
so much as a single swish. And
it IS the side portion. particu-
larly the upper side portion
close to the gum, that needs

banks up, decay takes place and
