way of fixing things and sliding
out from under.
In this case it looks as there
is not going to be any sliding out.
The commissioners were presented
with Photographic copies of in
voices and bills showing how the
Williston Herald had done the
printing and the Plentywood Her
aid had collected the pay for it
from the county. The case was
as plain as the nose on your face.
When Bill Hagen, the manager
of. The Plentywood Herald. was
called before the commissioners,
Bill did not know what it was all
about and had not been able to
get his instructions from his boss,
Harry Polk. When Commissioner
Carl Hansen asked him if they
ever had any printing done out
side of the state, Bill didn't know
what to say and wanted to know
what the law was before hewould
answer. When Carl showed him
the Photographic copies of the
bills he lost the power of speech
altogether and refused to talk, 50
Harry Polk had to be sent for
next, and Carl Hansen volunteered
to go and get him in his car.

along, stating that the law allowed
him to go any place he wanted
to, but when Carl assured him thai
he would see to that the TWO y.

decided not to go.

She had been so busy checking up
on the whereabouts of Stanley

about her fathers trip to Three
Rivers. "Guns?" she echoed.
Sure. A young arsenal and

the accessories, too. A sleeping bag
and pile Of regular western para
phernalia."
Dudley was glad he had struck
upon topic that had no fire in it.
Where did you see him?" Dona
demanded uneasily. She had not ex-
pected her father to return to the
rough country. He had promised
her he was through with the dan
gerous end Of the timber business.
Her anxiety was aroused at once
and she caught herself wondering
where Stanley Black could be. If
he were at hand she knew ne would
be able to tell her what to do.

Dona looked at Dudley apprais-
ingly. She saw a slender young
man Of athletic type. Square shoul-
ders, fine head and dark eyes that
held a lurking flicker of amusement.
Then she saw the mouth with its
tendency to droop a bit at the cor
ners. Dudley Winters was plainly
capable, but not accustomed to be-
ing called upon for any kind Of &C
ton demanding effort.
Why don't you &C up to Three

wild idea, whatever it is?" She put
the question to test the first thought

turned the queen and another spade.
South ruffed the third one with
the eight of clubs, laid down the ace
of clubs, and returned another heart.
Up to this point, declarer had
not won trick, and he must still
concede two mroe to Barrett's queen
and ten of clubs.
When the smoke cleared away, de-
clarer found that he had won ex-
actly three tricks, after contracting
for eight, and the penalty was 1900
points.
West suggested weakly that his
partner might have save something
by rescuing with two diamonds, but
a review of the play showed that
the opponents could have slaughtered
a two-damond bid just as badly.
The only way West could avoid
trouble on this hand was to feign
deep sleep whenever it became his
turn to bid.

North and South hands were
played by w. K. Barrett and John
Rau respectively, and West would
no doubt prefer not to have his
name mentioned.
The Bidding
Rau, in the South, opened with
one heart. West had a f1ve-card
club suit, and an array of face
cards, which, according to the table
of high card tricks used by some
writer's, counted up to about three
tricks.
Therefore, he hardly could be
blamed for bidding two clubs, even
though vulnerable.
Barrett in the North knew his
partners opening bid in first posi-
ton was based on at least three
high card tricks, and probably
more, so he did not hesitat 70
double two clubs, and that ended
the contracting.

Barrett opened the jack of hearts

"A DAY.
'sY BRUCE CATION

CAPPHO generally is recognized
~ as the greatest woman poet
who ever lived. And yet hardly 200
lines of her poetry are in existence,
and they are mostly scattered and
incomplete fragments, and very
little is definitely known of her
life-so little, indeed, that no biog-
raphy Of her has been available to
the ordinary reader.
Now comes Arthur Weigall with
"Sappho of Lesbos" a full length
biography of more than ordinary in
tereSt.
Mr.. Weigall has consulted the
antiquarian source books faithfully
and with labor that must have been
very extensive he has pieced to-
gether an account of Sappho'S life,
which if not as complete as one
might wish, is at least far better
than anything previously accessible.
In places this biography has
much more to say about the life
Of Sappho'S era than about Sappho
herself.
But that, after all, is fair enough;
what it has to say is interesting
and Weigall always is careful to in
dictate when he is recording proved
facts and when he is indulging in
conjecture.
The book includes, also, all the
lines of Sappho's verse known to
be eXtant.
incidentally, Weigall explodes the
tradition that there were two Sap
phos, one poet and the other a
courtesan, and shows that it was
Sappho's own slightly scandalous
behavior that gave rise to the
myth.

Lesbos" sells for SO.

~ cork tip of his cigaret on the
arm Of his chair and smiled. He
just had delivered himself of an
order and he was expecting it to be
taken with some weight.
The person to whom this man
date had been directed was curled
up in deep chair, gazing medi-
tatiyely out the nearest window.
Don't be antique, Dud! Engaged
men don't rush around telling their
flancees what to do in this age"
Dona Delo turned impatiently and
pursed her lips in a most tantaliz-
ing manner.
Winters arose and strobe across
the room. He bent over the easy
chair and scoWled at its occupant
in a mock fit of anger.
Want me to drag you out of that
chair by your hair, woman?" He
bent over and tried to steal kiss,
but Dona evaded his lips and
pushed him aside.

retorted. Il have things on my
mind"
Dudley Strengthened and defiant
frown clouded his handsome face.
His mouth dropped little at the
corners when he frowned and Dona
fancied he readily could pout.
You're thinking about that wash
out, Black, when you should be lis
tening to me-" Dudley could not
help speaking the thoughts in his
mind. THE way he vanished shows
what he thinks of you"
Dona uncurled and let her little
heels click on the floor. He GER
tainly took a great deal of pains not
to make himself unpleasant" Her
eyes showed that she had not liked
that remark of Dudley's.
Sensing a quarrel, the young man
grinned and changed his tactics.
After all, why worry about this fell

day visitor to the city and already

find him."

gets back" Dona flashed modify.

seating himself upon the arm of her
chair.
