the four of spades. The ace and
king OF spades were cashed.
In order to make his contract, the
declarer realized that the club suit
had to break, so he led the jack of
spades, which picked up Vests last
trump.
Seven rounds of clubs were taken,
on which every diamond but the ace
was discarded from dummy, there
by proving how valueless the long
diamond suit was.
A small diamond was led ana won
with the ace, and the last trick was
won with the queen of spades.

Solution to PreUiOuS
Contract Problem
BY W. Z. ATKENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
THE hardest thing to learn in
4 bridge is that it is a partener-
ship game. Regardless Of your hold
ing, ycIr partner must be consid-
cred. If you hold Is hearts, he may
have 10 spades Therefore, if you
90 hold a long suit, that is no rea-
son why the hand should be played
in Your suit.
The bidding often will indicate
that both you and your partner
viii have a long suit. AS side suits
they are fine. If you can not fit
with his suit, and if ne can not fit
with yours. YOU both may have an
other side suit that will work out
well as trump.
TODAY S hand came up in a re-
4 cent duplicate game and I was
surprised that only one pair played
the hand at seven spades. One
table PLAYED it at six hearts, East
and West. A couple Of tables tried
10 make seven clubs. One rather
determined player attempted seven
diamonds.
OF course, the only place that a
grand slam can be made is at
spades and even there the play is
rather interesting. 1t proves how
WORTHLESS and how valuable a long
suit can be.

seven bid was the king OF hearts

our Ashe county boys who are MAX
ing good elsewhere is Rev. Joseph F.
Hodgson who has been pastor of the
North Bristol Baptist Church at
Bristol, Virginia, for the past seven
years.
Scores of our citizens know Mr..
Hodgson, who is son of the bate
Calvin ]. Hodgson, of Buffalo, and
are proud of the success he is achiev-
ed as gospel minister in his adopted
state of Virginia.
Rev. Hodgson was set apart for
the ministry by Buffalo Baptist
Church in Ashe county, North Caro-
lima, and was ordained on Saturday
before the first Sunday in July 1925.
He moved to Alvarado in Washington
county, Virginia, ON April II, 1926,
to the pastorate of Roberts Chapel,
Denton's Valley, and Palestine
Churches, and later as pastor of
Rosedale and South's Chapel Baptist
Churches. While on this field the
membership of several of these was

for chance to escape through the

Mr.. Wrede could have gone out of

THE KENNEL
MURDER CASE
By s. S. VAN DINE

and I knew he was dead. l came
out of the room, closed the door, and
returned to the kitchen.
81 asked myself what was best for
me to do, and decided that since no
one knew I had returned to the house
l would go away and come back much
later that night So I went-to some
friends of mine. When I returned at
about midnight, I made unnecessary
noise, so that anyone in the house
would hear me returning. After a
while 1 came again into this library
and looked round very carefully, for
I could not understand what had hap
pened that night. l found the poker
lying on the heart, and there was
blood on it. I also found the dagger
in the large Yung Cheng Ting yao
vase on the table there. l had def
mite feeling that both of these arti-
els were left here for some special
purpose, and it occurred to me that if
murder had been committed that
night, it was I who was supposed to
take the blame. :"
"You are quite right, Mr.. LANG. I
think that both weapons were left
here in order to involve YOU"
81 did not quite understand the sit
uation," the Chinaman continued.
"But l felt that it might be safer for
me if took the poker and the dagger
and hid them. could see the posi-
bilities of a case being built up
against me, if the weapons were
found in the library, especially as it
might be proved that had been here
at the time. Moreover, the dagger is
Chinese, and it could be easily ascer-
taind that I was not in sympathy
with the means Mr.. Archer Coe used
in depriving my country of it's right
full antiques
eyes," nodded Vance. "That was
no doubt the intention of the murder
er. And so, when you had the
opportunity, you placed both weapons
in the room upstairs ?"
| "That is true" LANG admitted. 81
placed them there when the butler
sent me to Miss Lakes room the next
morning. Perhaps if 1 had realized
how serious the situation was and
had understood all of it's complica-
tions, | might have acted differently.
l do not yet understand the mechan-
ism of the crime. The physical mis-
understanding, so to speak, between
Mr.. Wrede and Mr.. Archer Coe took
place in this library, and yet his dead
body was in his bedroom upstairs"
"There was no possibility" inquir-
ed Vance, "that Mr.. Wrede could
have assisted Mr.. Coe upstairs, after
the melee ?" =.
"Oh, no." LANG was quite emphat-
ic. "Within few moments of the en-
counter here in the library, Mr..
Wrede came out through the kitchen,
surreptitiously, and departed through
the rear door,"
"How can you be sure it was
Wrede, Mr.. LANG, if you did not see

him z" Vance asked.
The Chinaman gave 81 slow smile.
"In my country the SENSES are
more acute than in the Occident. l
had heard Mr.. Wrede move about
this house too often not te know his
step and sense his presence" Liang
paused and looked at Vance. Sand
may I be permitted now to ask a
question of you?"
Vance bowed acquiesence.
"Ask me any question you care to,
Mr.. LANG, and I will try to be as
frank as you have BEEN" !.
"How, then, did you know that |
was aware of the crime On the night
it was committed?"
"There were several indications,
Mr.. Lang" Vance replied; "but it
was you yourself who told me as
much-by slip of the tongue. When
1 first spoke to you, the next morn
ing, you mentioned a tragedy; and
when 1 asked you how you knew
there had been tragedy, you replied
you had heard Gamble telephoning-
while you were preparing breakfast"
LANG looked at Vance for a mo-
ment, puzzled expression in his
eyes. Then a faint smile appeared
slowly on his mouth.
81 understand now," he said. 81
had already prepared the breakfast
when the butler telephoned, for he
discovered the crime when he was
taking Mr.. Goes breakfast to him.
.. Yes, 1 gave myself away, but it
took a clever man to grasp the
error"
Vance acknowledged the compli-
ment.
"And now l shall ask you another
question, Mr.. LANG. Why were you
pretending to work in the kitchen at
three o'clock yesterday morning, aft
er the attack on Mr.. Grassi?"
The Chinaman looked up shrewdly.
pretending
'The ink was quite dry on the pa
pers you had so neatly arranged on
the kitchen table,"
A slow smile again spread over
Liang's ascetic mouth.
81 was afraid, afterward," he said,
"that you might have noticed that.
The fact is, Mr.. Vance, l was
standing guard. At about half-past
two that morning, I was awakened
by slight sound. l sleep Lightly
and I am sensitive to sounds. listen
ed, and some one opened the door and
passed through the kitchen into the
buffers pantry and the dining room,
and on into the library"
"You recognized the footsteps"
ooh, yes. The person who came in
so softly was Mr.. Wrede. nat
urally did not trust him, knowing
what 1 did, and l hoped that I could
trap him in some way. So l rose,
dressed, turned on all the lights in
the kitchen, and took my post at the
table-as if I were working. Fifteen
minutes later, heard Mr.. Wrede
come back softly into the buffers
pantry and then retreat again toward
this room. / knew that he had seen
the lights in the kitchen and was
afraid to enter. l did not hear the
front door open-which is the only
other means Of egress except the
windows-and 1 decided to stand my
ground.
"a little later 1 heard Mr.. Grassi
