CHAPTER Xiv

Thatcher Colt had arranged
q singular and discordant con-
vocation. In the living room of
the penthouse were gathered all
those persons most concerned
in the final solution of the two
murder cases.
1t gave me an odd feeling,
Just to see these various char.
acters assembled under one
roof. Seated calmly in the
most comfortable chair in the
room, with its ecru linen walls
of uneven weave. was Vincent
Rowland, the end of a cigarette
making a red glow in the mass
Of white hairs surrounding his
mouth. Beside him, her back
to the nuns yelling of ter
race window, was Mrs. CareWe.
She had taken the most uncom-
Portable chair in the room.
Dressed in black silk, with a
fringed black shawl over her
shoulders, the mother whispered
to the debonair old attorney.
It was quite evident that Mrs.
Carewe looked to Vincent Row
land for reinsurance and ad-
vice, and that the dapper old
attorney was prepared to play
the role of the friend Of the
family. Mrs. Carewe paid no
attention at all to Dorothy Lox,
who sat on the other side of
her.
Posing theatrically in front
of the fireplace, as if taking his
position there for the rise OF
the Second-act curtain, was Guy
Everett. Since our last inter
view with the actor, he had
been carefully astended by bar
hers, and, crie felt, by his mas
h.Yr. rne man eylded that
well-nlbbuI> feeling. His mus
tache tips were exquisitely
waxed, his cheeks flushed, but
his eyes were dulled with the
loss of sleep and too many high
balls. Everett, too, was smoking
q cigarette.
Ill at Ease
On a divan left from the fire
place sat Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Quires. Husband and wife were
close to each other, exchanging
no words but staring into space,
as if foreseeing an inevitable
outcome. Beside them sat one
I had almost forgotten-the
plump and pitiful Mrs. Hugh
Baldwin.
Two others we're in the
room-Eunice and Chung. The
maid was in a low chair in
a dark corner, almost eftaced
by shadows. But the China
man, resplendent in a robe OF
violet silk. corded with gold,
stood defiantly forth. His
place was under a bracket OF
lamps where I had once be-
fore observed him-and the
glow of light fell on his mon
strous and misshapen head, al
ways turned a little to one
side. Chung was not grinning
now, and yet seemed to de-
tect a hint Of a smile tug
ging restlessly at a corner Of
his wide lips. His hands at
his sides, Chung stood there.
respectful and quiet, a man
to be reckoned with.
In our party there were
four-Thatcher Colt, Dougher-
ty. Flynn, and myself. We
walked into this tense assem-
blage, in utter silence. Chung
stepped forward to take our
wraps, but Thatcher Colt mo-
toned him off. We put our
things away in a closet, and
then, as Thatcher Colt paced
forward toward the center of
the room, the rest of us

The opening lead was the 10
Of clubs. The declarer knew
that the leader was an old
whist player of skill, but he
knew nothing else about him.
Of course Y wanted to make
certain of his small slam, with
an added trick if possible. The
question asked on yesterday
was: How should Y plan the
play of the joint hands? Con-
slider the grand slam chance, as
well as the small slam certainty.
Old whist players admirably
handle the joint holdings Of
declarer and dummy and they
are adroit in defensive work
when dummy is on the table.
On account of the radical diff
ference between whist and con-
tract, the older players often
make leads that are now
frowned upon. For example:
Whist players often lead away
from Kings. All players at
times do this, but contract exs
pertS without whist training
less frequently make such leads
than whist players do. But
the fact that in this particular
hand B led away from his K,
choosing the top of his inter-
mediate sequence G0-9) is less
important than is another
feature.
There is very little danger
that BIS lead is a singleton.
The odds are greater than
20 to l that B holds at least
one added club, so that mora
important consideration exist
than fear that a fineSse may
enable A to win the first trick
with the K, and that he will
give his partner an opportunity
to trump a return lead. Ex-
cepting when you know that q
player will not lead away from
a K, unless he holds no better
lead. the chances are perhaps
l in 4 that the leader holds
the K. But even those odds
are not the all-important ques.
ton.
There are only three missing
trumps. Even if all three of
these trumps are held by one
opponent, dummy can be en-
tered once by means of q
trump. Dummy will allow the
declarer to discard one loser
upon the K of Spades, provided
Y first leads his 40 of that
suit. If the declarer wishes to
play dummy's ace of clubs upon
the opening lead, trumpS can
be at once led. Three rounds
of trumps insure dropping all
opposing trumps. Y can then
lead off his two good spades,
lead his 4 Of hearts, overtake
with dummy's, and then dis
card his one remaining club
upon rs K of spades, thus
insuring against loss Of any
club trick. AS Y cannot lose
more than one diamond trick.
this method of play insures a
small slam. But suppose that
a low diamond is led from
dummy, after all the above
has been done. Suppose that
A has the missing K Of dia-
monds, so that the finesse
wins. Y can lead his ace Of
diamonds, but his j cannot
win a trick, no matter where
the missing K lies. A grand
slam must be impossible in
case three trumps lie in one
hand.
But if the declarer illnesses
dummy's S of clubs on the
opening lead, and Y's j wins
the trick, a grand slam is
assured, without taking a
finesse in diamonds, as two
of Y's diamonds can be dis
carded on dummy's good spade
and his good club. To hope
for a grand slam, the declarer

NATIONAL BOARD OF PROHIBITION
 TO MEET FRIDAY
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan COrrcspOndenl

United Press Staff Correspondent. Washintgon. Sept t7.-(UP)-The national board of prohibition stra- tegy has been summoned to meet here Friday in the midst of a dry dispute over support of a presi- dential candidate.
 The executive committee of the Anti-Saloon league will meet here tomorrow. F. Scott Mcbride, sup erintendent. announced last month that candidates and platforms of the major parties were not satis- factory.
 Both the league and the strategy board were expected to ignore the presidential contest and to concen- trate on congressional campaigns. But the board Is split. Dissen- sion began in Chicago dry head quarters when republicans pro- duced their prohibition blanks. .

 The school board will meet next Monday when full details of the registration will be available.
 It was 8 cheerful sight to see the large number of children on the way to the different schools. No wonder Waterbury is proud of viding such accommodation for them as gives them an opportun- ity to receive a good education fit themselves for the battle in life which they will have to enter as soon as their school days are over

He says MT. Hoover deserted the drys.
 Dr Edwin c. Dinwiddie, secre- tary of the strategy board and superintendent of the National Temperance bureau, is for Mir Hoover. Dinwiddie and Wilson are veterans. The former was league legislative super intendent before the late Wayne B. Wheeler brought to that job a card index system which set down all statesmen as "wet" or "dry" with out qualification. He persuaded prohibitionists throughout the United States to vote accordingly. Dinwiddie explained to the United Press that he supported Mir Hoover in his capacity as head of the tenn

 At league and board headquar- ters the United Press was informed dry efforts probably would be cen tered on congressional campaigns
 "No one can tell what the board will do," Dinwiddie said. There are differences of opinion. We haven't reached any decision whether we will be for or against any candidate.
 Individual organizations in the various groups will likely go into the congressional districts and not engage in the presidential cam paign. But this expression of my opinion does not forestall in any way any action the board may take"
