ID ARNABAS sprang to his feet,
- and hurrying out into the yard,
beheld a powerful black horse that
reared and plunged in the grip Of
two struggling grooms; in an ada

sat upon a pile of stable-sweepings
and swore, while, near by, perched
precariously upon an upturned
bucket, his slim legs stretched out
before him, was young exquisite

rocked with laughter, yet was care
full to keep his head rigid, so as to
avoid crushing his cravat, a thing
Of wonder which Immediately ar
rested the attention of Barnabas,
because of its prodigious height, and
the artful arrangement of its vol
luminous folds.
"Oh. dooce take me-" he ex-
claimed in faint voice, clapping a
hand to his side, I'll be shot if l

But Captain Slingsby continued
to shake his fist at the great, black
horse. and to swear in undated

You four-legged imp of Satan! So,
you're up to your tricks again, are

Here the captain became ex-
tremely fluent, and redder of face
I than ever. as he poured forth a

he cursed him from muzzle to crup-

eyes, he damned his legs, individ-
ually and collectively, and reviled
him. through sire and dam, back to
I the Flood.
Meanwhile Barnabas turned from
raging Two-legs to superbly wrath
/ full Four-legs; viewed him from

he turned back to ruffled Two-legs,
who, having pretty well sworn him

inquiry. tenderly rubbed muddied

HOWEVER, three entries in dunn
IL my are going to be necessary
to execute this play.
So the declarer must lead a small
club to dummy-not the deuce, but
the four-as the deuce must be pre-
served in the hope that the three
will be an entry into dummy. The
ace and king of hearts then are
cashed, two diamonds being dis
carded.
A small heart is led and ruffed
with the five of clubs-again the
declarer must be careful to hold on
to that deuce. Now the six of
clubs is played and won in dummy
with the queen. This picks up the
outstanding trump.
The fourth heart is led and
again the declarer must preserve
the deuce and trump with the eight
Of clubs. This establishes the fifth
heart in dummy and the declarer
leads the deuce of hearts, overtak-
ing in dummy with the three spot.
He then diScards his losing six
of diamonds on the eight of hearts
and his contract of five-Odd is made.

Solution to PreUiOuS
Contract Problem
BY w. E. NPKENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

PROFESSIONALLY we find our
~ selves IN a contract where the
only possible chance we have Of
making it is to get the most IA
vorable break in the world If
that is so, at least you should try
for that break Don't give up and
simply say that the hand can not
be made.
In today's hand you must watch
your entries and establish the
fifth heart for discard. Not a
difficult hand. but one that a care
less player might miss.
Overcalling with four card suits,
when vulnerable, is very dangerous
and should be avoided.
West cashed the king and ace
of spades and then led the jack of
diamonds, which South, declarer,
won with the ace. South could see
that ne could discard two losing
diamonds on the ace and king of
hearts. and that. if the hearts were

Treaty Denounced

Tokyo, Dec. 19.-(UP).--Japan opened the way for world naval armament race today by denounc- ing the Washington naval limita-' tion treaty.
 In session that lasted only 40 minutes the privy council, highest advisory body in the Nippon em- pire, to all purposes ended the i've power pact by approving the cabi- n ct recommendation that Japan withdraw.
 There remained now only, formal notification of abrogation to end the treaty which for 12 years has restricted fortification of the Jacific and imposed the 5-5-3 tonnage ra- tio on the navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
 The action called for a new naval treaty. in which Japan will seek equality, and put an end to the ex ploratory conversations being held in London looking toward revision of the Washington pact in 1885 conference.
 Although the privy council turn ed a momentous page in world his- tory there was nothing here to ir- dicate awareness of the fact. News papers headlined the news in their regular editions, but none issued extras. The move had been ex- pected. ,tet
