world, meet the future Mrs. BIN
Phillips!"
Doug hesitated before the knocker ON
the Vandergriff door, kicking himself
for giving in to Yanner's plea that she
see him again. But he'd get it over
with and try to placate her.
1t was Yanner herself who opened
the door. She had spent hours trying
to make up her mind what to wear, and
was as shamelessly seductive as she
could make herself in a black silk vel
vet dress with almost nothing but skirt.
Doug smiled politely.
Good evening, Yanner."
She held out hot little tanned hand
to pull him in.
Hello. darlin'. knew you wouldn't
disappoint me-"
She led him into the drawing room,
where big log fire cracked in the
! fireplace. A large divan was pulled up
near. Yanner motioned for Doug to
sit beside her:
Tits cozier in here. Aren't these
evenings cool"
Doug deliberately moved away and
sat down in a chair several feet away.
1T will soon be Winter: Where Is
everybody tOnlgnt!
Yanner smiled Whitley.
I'm town to show. Even the SER
wants are off"
Doug felt himself growing uneasy.
And why" he said bluntly, the
telephone call Yanner? Is there some
thing I can do for you?"
She curled up on the divan, her
golden curlS halo of innocence around
the pale face with the dark circled

| voice, "If-you scold me-I'n die. L
had to see you, just once more. I
couldn't 60 on without just one more
evening all to ourselves-like old times.
Isis it too much to aSk?"
Doug shrugged, and his indifference
sent sudden burning rage through
Yanner But she'd made up her mind
not to make him angry-at any cost
1t wasn't possible that there wasn't a
soft spot somewhere in his armor, and
she meant to find it. Suddenly she
went over to sit on the little hassock
at his feet. Shed done that so often
before. Surely it would bring men,
ories that would soften him. She
smiled up at him childishly. Just
like old times-isnt it, darlin'?"

He did not push her away. He felt
sorry for her. But he said coldly, mo

He didn't want to kiss her! Nothing
he could have said would nave infuri-

and said softly through lips that curled
with fury. "Just-let me stay here
Just little minute. Hold me-"
He suffered through about five min

around him She was silent-trying tc

Funds Primary Need Of
 Nome Fire Sufferers

Undaunted by the terrible fire disaster overtaking their thriving community last week, Nome residents are preparing to rebuild the town and but few of the inhabitants of the famous gold city on Boring Sea plan to leave, according to the latest reports received here.
 All of the stricken towns inn mediate needs for relief are amply provided for, according 10 an announcement by the mayor of the fire-razed center, but money for rebuilding is badly needed. The city's if nances are depleted and a quarter million dollars will be needed to replace the city wat CT system, fire equipment, street lights, sidewalks and other civic equipment. s
 Formal application for that amount of funds has been made toI Secretary Ickes by governor John w. Troy and is now under consideration by the Public Works chief. The gov ernor also announced that he had asked for $50,000 for op- erating the municipal govern ment.
 Facing the rigors of Arctic winter, many of the residents who lost their all in the confla- grafton may be forced to un- dergo considerable suffering if financial assistance is no [ available, the reports said. If the requested $50,006 is given, part of the funds will be used to build bunkhouses and wash rooms to shelter those who are without means.
 In the meantime supplies are being rushed to the stricken community in large quantities. The Lomen Commercial Co.,, leading commercial organiz- ation of the district, has order ed 1,200 tons of coal to be shipped to Nome at once, thus providing one of the primary living requirements of a dist rict where no local fuel of any character is available. The big Alaska Steamship Comp any freighter Dellwood left Seattle this week with a capac- ity load of building materials and general supplies. The company also announced a 50 per cent cut in freight rates, in addition to a reduction in light. craze charges at Nome. The Northwestern Steamship Go. also dispatched a 2,0OO-ton ship laden with general SUD- plies, in addition to lowering freight charges.
 Various Alaska towns are re. ported raising funds for relief of the fire victims.

by MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

L IKE most other people. I dis
IL like funerals. But I'm glad
went to hers. She was the
mother Of friend, so duty COM
manded my presence. Then I saw
her dead face and knew that for
the first time in my life I looked
upon real beauty. Thin, snow white
hair capped her waxen counte-
nance. Fine features, calm brow.
lips carved by fortitude. Eighty
years OF living had shriveled her
body and it seemed a miracle that
the six stalwart men and women
surrounding her bier could have
issued from that tiny frame.
Here lies, I thought, a gall
liant soldier. Here lies one whose
courage exceeds that of gen.
erals and whose conqueSts are
greater than those who have
taken cities. For I knew her story.
Poverty she had known and Bit
ternesS and sorrow, but she was
undaunted through them all. Even
at the last when, in Tennyson's
lovely phrase, Ito dying eyes, the
easement slowly grows a glimmer-
ing square," she had not faltered,
but went to rest like a weary child
turns in its cot, welcoming sleep.

ten tricks at spades. Also, knowing
that your partner has at least a
five-card spade suit, 1t looks as if
the spade suit can be developed at
no trump.
LASTS opening lead was the
~ queen of diamonds. The three
was played from dummy and Mr..
Atkins in the North won the trick
with the ace. Now, if he had used
the old rule at contract and had
tried to establish the spade suit, his
contract would have been defeated.
Instead, Mr.. Atkins counted his
sure wirlners-tWo clubs, two dia-
monds, one heart. and two spades
seven tricks in all. The two needed
tricks to make his contract, Mr.. At
kins reasoned, could be developed
most easily in hearts.
If you try to develop the spade
suit, West will win with the queen,
return a diamond and now you find
that you have neither the heart nor
TIE space sui SeCup ana your stop
per in diamonds is gone.
However. after winning the first
diamond trick, if you lead the queen
of hearts, even though the f1nesse
fails, you are assured of three heart
tricks, which will give you your con-
tract.
So, by counting his tricks rather
than just starting in to develop his
long suit, Mr.. Atkins made his con-
tract.

Solution to PreUiOuS

BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

IT is a known fact that no trump
i contract is most difficult to
make. Even the lawmakers recog-
nized this when they made the rule
that three odd at no trump made
game.
Generally, the first thing that a
player learns is that, in the play of
the hand at no trump, ne should tIy
to develop his long suit. I think
this is wrong. The first thing you
should do is to count up the number
of tricks you need for game and
then try to find the easiest way to
product those tricks.
This point is we'll brought out in
today's hand submitted to me by
my good friend, A. c. Atkins, Au-

Eighty years is a long time to
hold up ones head, and hers had
never been bowed. So I like to
think her face held such utter
peace and was so untouched by
trouble because in all her weary
time she had never once shirked
experience. Joy. pleasure. love.
friendship; birth. death, suffering;
hard work. poverty, tribulation,
neglect and ingratitude, all had
been hers because she was curious
about life. And to be curious about
life means that one is not afraid
to take what it sends.
The objectionable sin is a re-
fusal to welcome experience, and
to fear to suffer. Earthly exist
ence is but series of great emo
tional events, and the person who
runs away from the important
fundamental ventures fails to de-
velop spiritual qualities and is
therefore only half alive. He may
nibble at life, but he never really
tastes it.
Yet our mortal journey remains
the magnificent adventure it is
only because there are always a
few souls, such as this frail wom-
an, who ask no special favors on
