dummy, East played the ten and
declarer won the trick with the
jack.
Declarer now reasoned that East
was probably out of hearts and
made a nice play by leading a
small club. West won the trick
with the king.
At this point, if West returns
either a heart or a club, the con-
tract can be made. However, West
returned the queen of diamonds,
which declarer won with the king,
and now, regardless Of what de-
clarer does, he will have to lose
either a club or a heart trick to
West. This fine defense defeated
the contract one trick.

whom he loved had been hungry
enough to faint. Who was she,
then?
Sitting there, thinking Of her as
he had kissed her yesterday in the
old library, as she had sat with
him at his own flreside later, the
freight on her hair and her slim
hands resting quietly in her lap,
he knew that he had nothing to
forgive. If she had deceived him,
it was because some necessity had
impelled her. Some force too great
to fight.
He thought, "Old Bertha called
her Elaine and she just let it ride.
She's an opportunist-but aren't we

Elaine Chalmers remained outside
the circle Of his perplexities. So far
as he was concerned today she was
only a scented letter in a grayish
blue envelope. A letter that had
told him something he needed to
know.
1t was time for a conference with
the two senior partners. When they
summoned him he determinedly
brought his thoughts back to Nc
Neil pumps and ways to market
them. He listened respectfully for
two hours while these two valued
associates of his late father talked

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge LeagI


IN the days of national auction
i championship tournament, mid
western and especially Cleveland
players were rated the favorites.
Today, however, eastern players are
the high favoriteS in contract tour
naments.
This, I believe, is caused by the
fact that the eastern players are by
far the better bidders, while mid
western players depend upon their
great playing ability to pull them
through.
At the forthcoming Western
States Championship tournament,
which will be held in Cincinnati,
Sept. Is to %, a great exhibition
Of card playing should be given by
these fine midwestern players.
In today's hand, L. j. Haddad,
Chicago, president Of the American
Bridge League, and Charles A. Hall,
Cincinnati, who were runners-up in
the national masters pair cham

MIR. HALL was sitting in the
Nl West and Mr.. Haddad in the
East. In response to his partners
spade bid, Hall opened a spade and
Haddad cashed two spade tricks.
The dummy is short in clubs;
therefore, most defensive players
would try to stop declarer from
rufing clubs. Mr.. Ha6dad figured
that as his partner had double
hearts. he held at least four and
had possibly club trick.
So, instead of returning heart,

And now there was this. His
sister in distress. Her husband and
her two little girls injured. Serious

1t was the law Of human nature
that this should come first with
him now, should crowd his own
problems into the background. He
drove home rapidly, dreading to tell
his mother, but knowing it must be
done without delay.
TIE found her in her bedroom,
l. l. placidly writing his sister a
letter. John told her, saw her face
pale and tighten.
She said, I'VE must catch the $50

Ten after four" John told her.

and then a rush-youu collapse"
III not collapse" she replied.
Florence needs us. She may need
us terribly before morning. Get
two bags. Call Susie. Call Ebe to
drive us in my car"
These things were done as she or
dered. Strangely, it was she who
took charge, her mother-heart so
determined to get to the child who
needed her that her mind worked
like a machine.
John had a minute or two to
spare before Ebe brought the car
out. He went to the desk and wrote
this hurried message:
Darling-Called to Washington.

trouble. Her husband and two chill
dren were seriously hurt in an acct

He enclosed it in an envelope
and wrote on the outside simply

and knocked at the back door Of
the Hunter house, which was the
more accessible. Penny answered,
almost at once. He said, Give
this to Elaine, Bertha! I'm leav-
