Mickey looked admiringly at
his dad. There was no one like
his dad. No, sir! He sat on
his dads knee and his dads
good arm was about his waist
and he gazed and gaZed, his
mouth wide open. Mary was
on the arm of the chair.

Fitzpatrick wound is not seri-
,ous'" she was reading from a
newspaper, he will be confined
to his home for at least a week.
He refused to comment on the
capture of the three men beyond
his one characteristic state
ment:
"Why should everybody get
excited just because a man does
his job"
That's a lot of sassidge,"
muttered Jim, somewhat en-
barrassed.
Come on, daddy, tell us how
you got them muggs!" ex-
claimed Mickey. Jim looked at
him Sternly. ..
"Where'd you hear that word,
ooh, Uncle Ed uses that all

surprise when Captain Fight

ferred to the Glendale precinct.
But the manner in which Cap
tain Fitzpatrick dealt with the
first serious problem to con-
front him there was no surprise
at all. If the growing cancer
of lawlessness in this city is to
be cured, it is only by such bull
dog therapeutics as DR.. Fltz-
gerald administers that it can
be done. For months we have
suggested a new head Of the
police department, which Stinks

to the mayor that he stop look

Jim.

joyed dolce far niente" too
much!
Ease! Luxury!
These had been the principal
reasons for marrying prosper
GUS Michael Oakes.
Getting Along
Also, by the standards of 20
years ago, she had been get
ting on in years at the time
of his courtship. When Mi
chael came a wooing, she had
been 26.
Her people had very little
money. The only careers" for
a girl at that period were
either teaching or the stage.
The latter was terribly de-
classe, then. And for the
school-ma'rm business she had
neither inclination nor a suf-
ficiency of gray matter.
No! Constance wasn't clever.
The thing for her was a
comfortable" marriage.
Not that she hadn't a tepid
feeling of affection for her
Michael. He didn't look a
hero of romance, of course.
Romance was we'll enough in
books, she told herself, but in
real life it would be uncom-
Portable.
Thus reasoned Constance 20
years ago, to escape the fate
of being an old maid-for there
were few eligible in her country
toWn-she would have married
a man less attractive than Mi
chael.
She didn't understand his
ardor, either of body or soul.
He HAD soul, in those days,
before it had all shrivelled away
in money making.
Except in the matter of her
own comfort, Constance was
lukeWarm in everything.
She didn't understand her
daughter, Laurel, in the least.
Between them there had never
been any real intimacy.
But-despite LaurePs pose of
being SO blase-ConStance knew
perfectly that the same ardent
blood ran in Laurel's veins as in
those of her father.
Sometimes it seemed to Con-
stance, recently, as though both
husband and child were strang-
ers to her..
Stir of Life
A strength of body and mind
they had. "a questing eager
ness in living.
Now. at the age of 46, Con-
stance herself was beginning to
wake up to life. was feeling
the stir of something new and
strange within her.

stood, except the material
things should get out of Michadl
all these years, as the result of
his early infatuation for her.
On this sunny summer after
noon, with a little shock she
realized that it had been many,
many months since Michael had
kissed her.
A perfunctory peck it had
been, for years, that salutation.
She hadn't wanted anything
else from him. He paid her
bills, maintained two homes for
her, and gave her lavish pocket
money. He didn't question her
comings or goings. She hadn't
thought about it at all before

4 None

Yesterday we stated that
when a fiVe-card and s1X-card
two-suiter, composed Of spades
and hearts is held that an
opening bid of 3-Spades is pre-
ferable to one of 3-Hearts, even
though the spades contain one
fewer card than hearts. This Is
to avoid having to bid four OF
the higher value suit over part
ner's response, thereby risking
obliging partner to carry the
lower value suit to five. But
this major and minor two-suiter
offers no such problem, so that
the rule of first bidding the
longer suit should be followed:
z made an opening bid OF
3-Clubs. Opponents had moth
ing to say. Of course Y had
to show his one sure trick and
biddable suit with an overcan
of 3-Diamonds. z showed his
second and shorter suit, by bid
ding 3-Hearts. Y indicated his
dislike of both red suits, by
bidding 3-No TrumpS. Intend
ing to play for game at one
of his long suits, z bid 4Hearts.
After long consideration Y
passed, knowing that his part
ner held either a 6-5 or pos
Sibly a 7-6 division between red
suits. The way the cards lie
z can go game, either at hearts
or clubs, but hearts is the
easier contract.
The opening lead was the @
of Diamonds, although Y had
bid that suit. A did not wish
to lead away from the K Of
Spades, nor did he fancy lead
ing either suit bid by z. Dunn
my's Ace Non the first trick,
z discarded his Q of Spades.
He led back dummy's 10 of
Clubs. A won with his K, leav-
ing z with that suit estab-
liShed.
The declarer ruffed a dia-
mond, and led two rounds of
trumps, dropping the @ at his
right, but leaving two good
trumps in AS hand. Two high
clubs were led. A trumped a
fourth lead of clubs, and in
turn made z trump a diamond.
The declarer again ruffed A by
leading a club. No matter what
opponents tried the balance of
the tricks belonged to z, just
fulfilling his contract of four.
Suppose that Y had chosen
to shift the 4-Hearts to 5-Clubs.
AS the play went, and the cards
lie, z could have gone game.
He would have discarded his
@ of Spades upon dummy's Ace
of Diamonds. Two heart tricks
would have been taken, and a
third lead of that suit would
have been trumped with Y's 10,
which B could not over-trump.
Dummy's 3 of Clubs would
nave been LED, OVerCaken WIN
rs j, and the trick would have
been won by AS K. The ad-
versaries could have won a
single heart trick, but one heart
and the one club trick would
have been all that z could
have lost.
Had either AS cards or BIS
cards been held by dummy, in
stead of those actually held by
Y, game would have resulted.
AS cards held by dummy would
have insured a grand slam at
either hearts or clubs. BIS cards
in dummy would have insured
game at hearts. Such powerful
hands as rs need little support
to go game at something.
