Gunther looked up into her face quickly, hopefully, and then away again. No-Agnes' lips were set in a firm line beneath her eyes that were softening to tears. But he's such uisance and, besides, the neighbors."
 Walking home with Agnes be- side him, MT Gunther thought of Tito-left behind-held in Ike Kennedy's arms, Tito's tail wag- ging, his eyes questioning. Thought of his thick, brown coat, his silky ears, his warm, welcoming, eager glance. Charles Gunther sighed.
 He sighed again as, the next night, he got off the street car at the corner near his home, worming his way through the crowded aisles, pushing and showing past the hot and tired bodies of his fel- low-workers. We'll, Tito wouldn't be at the door to greet him, would not be welcoming him with a pat ter of upraised paws, a joyous bark. He hoped Agnes was satis- fied-now she'd had her way.
 He climbed the three flights of stairs and put his key in the lock. Dinner was waiting on the table good, hot, appetizing dinner after long day of work-cold, clear glasses of iced team. shaded lights. Yes, it was a clean, well-ordered house and Agnes smiled as she came toward him. Well But they ate in silence. Charles Gunther could think of nothing to say. His mind was full of Tito. But this was nonsense. He was acting h@x %@% H. He looked up at his wife. Pleasant and charming she was under the yellow glow of the light that hung that? Were those tears'at the edges of her eyes? Yes surely, and her lips were quivering.
 Charles, lido you think the Kennedys would let us have Tito back? You miss him so-and l. I do, too, Charles. .'
 There was a scratching and a whining at the door-a shilling and sharp bark. Charles Gunther flung his napkin on the floor and rushed to the screen. Yes. there was Tito-a Tito dusty and pant ing. gingerly the furry paws that were sore from padding blocks of unaccustomcd pavement-a Tito pleading but triumphant.
 And now Agnes was on her feet, too, had rushed to the door, the tears that had risen to her eyes be- ginning to overflow.
 Why, Charles!" she cried. Hes come home all this way alone!" Her words ended abruptly; her voice ceased on a note of question and dismay. For there, outside the screen, stood Tito, right, enough. but not alone. By his side, dustier and more road-worn even than Tito. thinner, his pink and thirsty tongue lolling from his open mouth, sat a half-grown spotted pup. Tito had come home and, coming home, had brought along q friend.

DAILY SHORT STORY TITO'S TRYST MT Gunther Could Hardly Believe His Eyes, but There Stood His Dog and with Him Friend.
By ELEANOR BLAKE

For three months, now, MT Gun ther had reached for his hat at the end of every working day with a sense of anticipation. For three months until tonight. Tonight the long, hot ride home on the street car would seem hotter and longer, the walk down the shady street afterward cool relief, true enough, but with a melancholy in the very shade, the dinner that would be waiting for him a good dinner, but unshared with Tito. No Tito was gone. Tito wouldn't be there.
 MT Gunther shook himself, ir- ritated, told himself he must snap out of it-pull himself together. It was nothing short of childish for a man of forty to have allowed to grow in his heart an affection so strong and warm for a little dog. Not even any particular kind of a dog-just a little, brown fellow with a curly coat and long, silken ears and clear eyes that had fixed themselves on those of his master with steadfast devotion ..
 Besidse. Agnes had been right about it: Tito had brought in dirt thick on his paws, tracking up the carpet they'd saved so long to buy; he'd chewed up slippers. begged at the table-barked. Yes. parked! And in a way that had annoyed the neighbors. No, MT Gunther didn't blame his wife bit for insisting, all last week, that Tito must go.
 You can find a good home for him, Charlie. There's plenty of people would be glad to have him-people who don't live in an apartment. How about that MT Kennedy down at your office? Didn't he say he'd like a dog? Didn't he say he liked Tito? We'll,
 Now, while MT Gunther's heart was warm with affection for his dog, it was warmer with affection for his wife. And, if any case, he was more desirous of peace than possession. Since Agnes had decid- ed to make an issue of it-since the presence of Tito was actually threatening the even tenor of do- mestic ways-well, Tito must go.
 Down at the office Charles Gun them had taken up the subject of Tito with Ike Kennedy and Ike Kennedy had been-in his own phrasing-"pleased as Punch"
 "Su-ure" Kennedy had said. "Im out on the road a lot, Gum ther. and the Missus gets kind of nervous sometimes being in the house alone at night. Now, with a dog like that-you say he'll bark? Thatl be just dandy. You bring him over any time-right away. How about tonight, Gunther?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-28

"Not-not tonight" Charles Gunther had managed to stam- mer out. Tomorrow night all right with you? ought to fix him up a little-give him Q bath
 But tomorrow night had come as inexorably as tonight And when dinner was over and the dishes cleared and washed and put away MT Gunther had descended the three flights of stairs that led from his little apartment to the street. Tito was on a leash and Agnes walked besides him. Yes, she'd gone along to make sure Tito would have a good home.
 You know, Charles" Agnes had said while they strolled together in the cool of the summer evening down streets of shaded apartment buildings like their own and at last past rows of little houses where men in shirt-sleeves 'watered their own front lawns, talked to their children, played with their dogs, you know I like Tito, too" Her voice choked a little.

BY the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., February 17.-Ne-
braska Is determined to bring Eddie
Larue here from Florida to stand trial
as the key man in the worlds largest
bank robbery.
County Attorney Max G. Towle said
he had evidence tying Larue up with
the S2,5oo 900 ho1d-up of the Lincoln
National Bank In 1880,
"Unless Federal agents establish
enough evidence to link him with the
Edward Bremen kidnapping, I think
we've a good chance of getting him"
Towle said.
Larue was charged with being q
member of the hold-up gang about the
time Illinois officers raided an East
st. Louis apartment, arresting the two
men who have since been sentenced
to 25-year terms for participating in
the robbery-Tommy O'Connor and
Howard Pop" Lee.
Towle said he had the best case
against Larue of any Of the three men
he has tried here and that he has
mass of circumstantial evidence he
believes marks Larue as one Of the
robbers-as we'll as identification testi-
mony of witnesses of the hold-up.
Jack Britt was the third man tried
and he was released after two juries
disagreed.

DEM0CRACIES HELD
RIPE FOR DICTATOR
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
Dickinson Believes People
Are More Responsive.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA February l7.-Be-
lief that new relationships are more
responsive to the mood of the people
in nations where they have been es-
tablished to supersede the democratic
form of government was expressed
today by John Dickinson, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce.
Dickinson spoke at the midyear
convocation of the University Of
Pennsylvania, where he is professor
of law. Degrees in course were con-
ferred on 326 graduates.
IT believe there can be no doubt
that the new relationships are more
truly responsive to the dominant
popular mood in the countries in
which they have been established
than were the democratic forms of
government which they superseded"
Dickinson said.
He asserted that one of the great
defects Of many forms of democratic
government has been their exclusion
of the effective operation of leader
ship. Dickinson said he had chosen
to speak about leadership in a democ-
racy because nowhere has it ever
been better exemplided than at Wash
ington today"

to bid one club would be too risky
partner might not even be able to
respond with a diamond or no
trump-but yet there may well be
game if he has 9 x in diamonds
and the queen of hearts, or else three
jacks. If he bids three no trumps
pass; but if he bids three diamonds,
now the hand is probably safe even at
four no trumps, so would bid three
spades; he will now bid three no
trumps or four diamonds. In either
case I bid four hearts, asking for
preference. He should now realize
that have an abnormal type of two
no-trump bid, and his next response
should guide us to the safest contract.
Remember, of course, that If his first
response had been three no trumps,
and not three diamonds, YOU could
not safely monkey with your short
suits, seeking a preference. You must
pass three no trumps, as four no
trumps is almost sure to be too high a
contract.
Never Use the Three-No- Trump
Opening Bid in This Way.
Remember, also, never to use the
opening bid of three no trumps for
any such purpose, even if you have
only two losers in your 4-4-4-1 hold
ings, as this is almost sure to result
in a hopeless slam in your weak suit
or in no trumps. If able to bid at all,
your partner will bid the suit you
cannot stand and will probably con-
tinue to develop slam in it, being
unable to understand your frantic
sign-offs in no trumps. The three-no-
trump opening bid must be kept on
the gold standard and not be tam
pered with. Its massive short-suit
characteristics can only be varied when
the opener is solid throughout and
can control the bidding right up to the
seven level and can stop every suit
and stand every lead.
1t Is the Two-No-Trump Bid Which
Is the Handy Man.
The two-no-trump bid, however,
can stand flexible use; and when you
are responding to it, If your partners
later bidding surprises you, defer to
him and try to deduce the reasons for
his unexpected bidding on the subse-
quent rounds. Guide hinl-do not
bludgeon him. He is trying to get you
to answer some very unusual question
or questions and must use the
language Of cards in doing so.
