shades were tightly drawn.
What did the blaze of lights
mean?
She stood very still. She
tried to plan, to think logically
and coherently, tried to con-
vince herself that she must go
away, must go some place else.
At last she knew she could go
nowhere else. There was no
where else for her to go. Hug
ging the side of the house, she
crept past the lighted windows
to the dreary garden in the
rear. There were no lights in
the bedroom.
The New Year
The back door was unlocked
and presently she was in the
darkness Of the bedroom. She
listened for sounds from the iv-
ing room, heard nothing. Pres
emily she quietly turned on the
light and looked into the Sleep
ing faces of her little sisters.
She sank to a chair, feeling a
strange sense Of peace. The hor-
ror was gone now. Just seeing
the children's rosy, sleeping
faces blotted out the dreadful
picture of Bill MCGEE lying in a
pool of spreading crimson; blot
ted out the hysteria and the
madness that had followed.
She was sitting there when

alarmed now. She had observed
the glances directed at his back.

jocularly, "Never you mind,
baby. Well make expenses for
the evening before we leave"
I'm going"
mo, you're not! Here comes
my pal now"
His pal was a slight, pale
man, with cold, blue, unpleas-
ant eyes. The pale man crossed
the room in a kind of deathly
silence, reached them. He laid
one white ringed hand on the
table.
Get out of here, McGee,"
ne said. gently. Get out and
stay out"
Bill stood up. He lowered
above the other man. "You
know what will get me out" he
said, savagely. Fork over,
Sam, and fork over quick! You
got a crust trying to horn in on
this territory. Rafferty, sent
me and Rafferty's the big shot
above Forty-second Street."

door she never knew. It was a
rear door, standing open on a
narrow, winding alley.
She fled down the alley to
the deserted street. She reached
the sidewalk as a patrol wagon
screamed around a corner. She
saw it stop. Again she ran.
Eleventh Avenue was as silent
as a grave. There was only the
panic beat Of her feet and the
silently falling snow.
Home, home, that was all
that she could think-if only
she could reach the blessed Sc
curity of home.
Exhaustion slowed her feet;
fear drove them on. She never
thought of the subway, or Of
a taxi. She had no money; she
had left her pocketbook be-
hind. She did not think of
that either. Not then. She
thought of it at the end of her
frantic flight when she saw the
lights that blazed from the IA
miliar living room.
She stopped, trembling and
appalled,, at the very threshold
of the haven toward which she
had bent all her energies. Had
the police come for her al
ready? Had they found her
pocketbook? Were they inside
now? She attempted to peer
through the windows, but the

opened. Duly, uncomprehend-
ingly, she looked up, into her
stepmother's eyes. Lillian War
rem went first white, then red.
She closed the door, crossed the
room.
"Get out" she said to Patricia
in low, savage whisper. What
DO you mean coming here? The
cops are looking for you
there's one waiting in the liv.
ing room now. Get out, say"
IL"
"You can't stay here, my
girl. You can't ruin my buSi-
ness and drag my children into
this. You got yourself into a
mess and now you can get
yourself out of it,"
Patricia rose stiffly. It was
no use to argue. She went as
she had come. She had no
money, no place to go; she wore
an evening dress and over it
an i'll fitting, light spring coat.
She reached the sidewalk. She
was standing there, Shivering
and afraid, when all New York
broke into riotous celebration.
Whistles blew, bells rangs, cars
stopped in the street, honking.
From a adjoining g apartments
people leaned from windows
beating on tin pans. All New
York welcomed in the New
Year.

important than the brides par
ents!
And if anyone tries to inter.
fere, or tell you what to do,
just do as I told you, and say:
Very well, then; Well put 1t
off until next year!"
OF course, if the bride says
in answer to that: 20. XII
That's all right with mel" then
you are sunk.

Contract Bridge

DUT I want you to take the K, j,
ID 10 and 4 of spades and divide
them between the East and West
hands in different combinations,
and you will be surprised to learn
that the only time you will lose your
game is when there are three spades
to the king in the East hand.
Therefore. the flnesSe would do
Mr.. Waldman no good. If he finds
three spades in the West hand
whether the king is in the West
hand or not-he still need not lose
his game. In such event, flnesse
might produce five-odd, but first of
all he must make game. .
Therefore, his correct play with
this combination of cards, when he
wishes to lose only one spade trick,
is to lead the ace. Then, if the king
does not fall, he could go over to
the dummy, lead a small spade and
if West follows, put on the queen.
If you will shift these four trump
around you will find it an interest
ing study in mathematical distribu-
ton.

Solution to PreUiOus
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
American Bridge League


MATHEMATICS has big part
1Vl in the play of hand. But
am not inclined to favor it except
when there is no better way to
arrive at my deductions.
The bidding or the drop of the
cards can be counted on far better
than can mathematics.
The trouble with mathematics
is that, while you may win on a
certain play so per cent of the
time. you do not know whether
you hold one of the 60 per cent
or one of the 40 per cent hands,
and you try to gamble with the
result that you lose in the ma
jority of times.
Today's hand is a good example,
however of the value of mathe-
mates in contract. North opened
with spade, South went to two,
North to three, and south the
fourth.

Waldman of Cincinnati, who was
playing this hand now was con-
fronted wit hthe following problem.
1t is true that in this hand you
can see that if he lays the ace of
spades right down, the king will
fall and the declarer will lose only
one spade trick.

Ninety dollars was the sum re- alized from the biggest bake sale given in Seward for years when Saturdays sale for the Sacred Heart church was conducted at Cooper'S.
 Commencing in the forenoon and continuing during the day the tables were loaded with freshly baked viands of every sort and de- scription and as fast as they were replenished, were again made bare by customers who flocked in and out again with choice pur- chaSeS.
 No words can express the appre- ciation of those in charge of the sale for the gracious response ot every lady solicited for donations and for the willingness and gen. erosity of the customers.
 The funds, exceeding the highest expectations from this sale will be used in various ways for improve ment and upkeep of the parsonage and church buildings.
