There was a pauSe-a very long
pause. Indecision was written on every
feature of the young mans face. In
spector Narracott felt a kind of pity
as he watched him. Couldn't the hoy
see that his palpable indecision was
as good as an admission of the fact'
At last Jim Pearson drew i deep
breath. II suppose I had better

This was at what time, sir?"
About l o'clock, I think I went

"Yes-yes-he was rather surprised" :"
How long did you remain with him.

"A quarter Of an hour-2o minutes.
But look here, he was perfectly all

And what time did you leave him?"

At that moment the door opened and
q young woman walked into the room.
She was very exceptional kind OF
young woman. She was not strikingly
beautiful. but she had face which was
arresting and unusual-a face that,
having once seen, you could not forget.
There was about her an atmosphere
Of common sense, savoir faire, invinci-
BILE determination and most tantaliz-

On Vests king North, the dummy, played the deuce, East the nine and South, the declarer. played the five of diamonds. West con- tinued with the queen of dia- monds and East played the eight, completing his echo showing out. and requesting his partner to con- tinue diamonds. The ace was then led by West, East discarding the deuce of hearts, discouraging a heart lead, and South, the de- clarer, followed with the jack.
 West held four spades to the ten spot and if the declarer hap pened to hold the ace. king, jack. West could make no spade tricks. Of course if East held one of the honors, then Vests ten would make. A club or a heart lead would give the declarer an easy game but West decided to try and find at least the seven of spades ,n his partners hand and returned the seven of diamonds. A small club is discarded from dummy and East trumped with the seven of spades which forced south. the de. clarer, to over-trump with the lack of spades. This play estab. iished the ten spot for West. and while the deciarer did cash all of the clubs and all of the hearts he was forced to lose one spade trick and this set his contract one trick.
