East had oycrcalled, South avoided the first pitfall by playing small heart from dummy to his ace, and thus was able to retain the finessc position over Vests queen.
 The three of clubs was led and the trick won in dummy. A low club was returned and South trumped with the eight of hearts. The jack of hearts was played and. whether West covered or not, the contract was in. If West refused to cover, the king of hearts would win the third trump round and. the club suit being established, South could discard all Of his los- ing tricks.
 If West did cover the jack Of hearts, the trick would be won with the king. Then the seven of trump would be played and allowed to rec tain the lead by the underpiay ol declarer's three.
 Tt is quite apparent that. if South had not had the three of hearts. ar if West had the seven Of hearts, and North the six. the contracl could not possibly be made. Copyright. i036. NEA Service. me-

old grey stone arch MIR Sully could not but
think how right she was against that familiar,
quiet background. He liked everything about
her - the simplicity and elegance of her navy
blue costume. and of her white blouse that
fastened Russian fashion high about her
throat; her small black fur; the quiet perfec-
ton of her gloves, handbag and shoes. In

agreeable to him, this tall, slender lady with
the blue-black hair, the very white skin and
the deep grey, humorous eyes. From the first,

Louise Kelvin had come to Mr. Sully as a
charming surprise. Before his relations with
her husband grew difficult, MIR. Sully had
taken a dish of tea with her at her house

I've been thinking" Kelvin went on, in|
his pleasantly casual, deep voice, "of the
conversation we had the other day about the
salary increase" He added hot water to the
teapot. "Candidly, must admit that you
brought forward certain facts about your
position with regard to retirement that I
hadn't been aware of previously I've thought
them over since. very carefully" He took up
the tongs, dropping sugar into the cups I've
decided to recommend to the Board that, in,
your somewhat exceptional case, adjustments
should be made in the usual superannuation
arrangement. I've no doubt that the financial
obstacle to your retirement will be removed"
He turned cup in hand. Their eyes met.
MIR. Sully's cheeks were very pink. He ignored
the proffered cup and rose. He looked at
Kelvin steadily through his eyeglasses.

of the kind. 1t would be quite impossible for

Since that day, they had not spoken.
MIR. Sully, descending now from the bus,
could not but wonder with anxiety what new
difficulties were likely to arise for him out of
this unheard-of business of the headmaster
and the apricot blonde.
His form wondered why "Old Maid" was
such terror all that afternoon. His irrita-
bility reached its elimination when he con-
fscated a book that Tombleson was reading
under his desk.
But, sir, it's not trash," Tombleson pro-
tested anxiously; honestly, sir, it isn't! It's
seven n-and-sixpenny, only just out. It's been
very well reviewed"
Mr. Sully tipped the pages over contemptu-
ously, holding his eyeglasses to his eyes. In
a biting tone he read aloud:
''Corinne stood motionless in the doorway,
looking down with eyes of horror at the dead
body of Martin Anders. Heart failure, of
course! She knew his condition. She had come
here tonight to threaten him - and found
him like this: for ever beyond her threats!
She thought swiftly He was a nobody. He
had died of heart failure. Probably his death
would not warrant even single line in the
newspapers - unless it were known that she,
Corinne, had visited him alone in his house
about the time he must have died. There
would be questions then. She would be wanted
at the inquest. She could not afford to at
tract the attention of the police - she, who
was known to them already! Her nerves
shrieked Get out! Get away! Keep away!
You need never be connected with this! She
turned swiftly and went out, closing the door
softly behind her The fire flickered. The
electric light shone, cold and steady, into the
dead eyes of Martin Anders"

Mr.. Sully lived in small house on the edge
of Chelsea. Since his wife's death, he had
lived there quite alone. A woman came in
twice a week, to clean, and Mr.. Sully always
lunched and dined out - either at the La
Pena or at small Swiss restaurant On
Wednesday nights, he so far indulged him
self as to dine at his club in Pail Mall
A frugal and solitary life, but there were
compensations MIR. Sully loved Thamescourt;
in those grey cloisters, he belonged. There
was the daily, invigorating contact with
youth. and the satisfaction, still keen, of
teaching All he asked was little peace, a
little friendliness in place of all this resent
ment against him.
But it was less of himself that MIR. Sully
thought that weekend than of Richard Kel-
vim; and he was still trying to make up his
mind as to his duty in this wretched affair
when, returning to the school after luncheon
on Monday, he came face to face with the
