CHAPTER III

-Four o'clock came quickly. At ten
minutes after, Arthur was waiting for
her In the hall She had arrayed her
self In a short tweed skirt, an orange
jersey and knitted cap. "Now to ex-
plore this wild land"
AS they walked through the crisp.
clear air their normal spirits came
back to them, and the moldering acad-
emy seemed like an oppressive dream.
They made their way around the west
wing and skirted the vegetable garden,
which stretched toward a grove Of
oaks; beyond these they saw the
cleaning waters Of Midnight lake.
A small dock was found; and to
one Of its posts two rowboats with
locked oars were tied. Both bore the
lettering. Property Of the Academy"
"Shall we row across to the ravine
side?"
"That would be the quickest way to
reach the falls"
On the lake, quietly rowing, their
perturbed spirits became stilled by the
intense and wild loneliness of the
scene. The SCARED and ragged peaks
were already taking on the heliotrope
vapors and lights of evening, and the
excessive beauty Of the landscape was
like the crash Of an orchestra.
Arthur said little, only too thank
full to be away with Janet Mercer
away from that sinister house.

pointed to the great bird winging Its
flight northward. HE doesn't have to

She liked the plural pronoun. He
glanced at her, thinking her beauty
was like some happy adventure of the
spirit. He could not imagine her
growing old or tired or discouraged.

overcome force and then, when West shows the game-demand bid of hearts, East should show the strength of his hand with a jump to six hearts.
 The Play
 When North opens the ten of spades, the trick is won by the de- ciarer with the jack. Three rounds of trump should then be taken, picking up the opponents out standing trump.
 The declarer should lead a spade to dummy's ace and then cash the king of spades. This picks up the outstanding spades. He should then lead a small diamond and it is im- material whether he illnesses the queen or the ten.
 !. Suppose he illnesses the ten. North will win the trick with the jack. But North must now make a lead. If he leads a diamond 1t IS going to be into the declarer's ace-queen and the same if he leads a club. No matter what North leads and discard the other queen on the 18th spade.
 So par on the hand Is in refus- ing to cash the 18th spade before taking the diamond flnesse. to eliminate the second finesse if the first one fails.

STRAND


 To-day opens a new bill at the Strand theater with Margaret Sul- lavan and Douglas Montgomery in the picture hit of the year Little Man, What Now?" The picture is directed by Frank Borzage.
 The story of this Frank Bor- gage production deals with the struggles of young coupe against the poverty and actual want which have been the portion of so many, and, reflecting the actual turn of events, ends on a note of courage and hopefulness. I feel that it is a veritable classic of present-day conditions, and a pie ture which you will view with the utmost enjoyment.

 Problem
 This is the sixth of a series of IS playing problems prepared by Henry F. Jaeger.
 When your hand contains two illnesses, you should plan the play so that when you take one finesse and it should fail, it will not be necessary for you to take the other. In other words, make one finesse eliminate the other.
 It is true that this is not always possible, but you would be sur prised at the great number of times that this really IS the case.
 In to-day's hand, too many play CTS might make the mistake of try ing to cash the 18th spade and take a discard. They might say, Well, I shall have to guess which to discard and then, if I am lucky on the finesse, will make my con- tract" But there is oNe guess to the hand.
 The Bidding
 While East's hand contains only three primary tricks, it does have both majors. But it is a defensive type of hand-the type of hand that you would rather defend than play out. Therefore in spite of this holding, I would prefer to pass first hand.
 Of course, when West opens with one heart, East makes the one-
