the door from the porch.
He was supporting Nesbitt on one
arm, and Julia saw that Nash, too,
was helping to hold Royal erect.

Strangely enough, shortly after

trick for top score on the board.
The Play
Opening lead, six of hearts, was
won by declarer with the ace.
Declarer Immediately decided
that, if there was a squeeze in the
hand, he would have to find West
with the high diamonds and long
clubs, which was more or less in
dicated by the fact that East bid
hearts; therefore, East must have
bid on length in that suit.
At this point declarer led the
10 of spades and won in dummy
with the king. A small heart was
returned and ruffed by declarer
with the jack of spades. The
three of spades was played and
won in dummy with the eight.
The jack of hearts was ruffed
with the queen of spades. De-
clarer now cashed the ace of
spades. Then the ace and king
of diamonds were played. A small
club was won in dummy with the
ace, and now declarer applied the
squeeze.
He cashed the last two spades,
discarding from his hand a club

protect both the diamonds and
the clubs. If he discarded his
queen of diamonds, dummy's ten

@STRANGE CASE q JULIA CRAIG
BY Nerd Jones
ceprish. \. I. 1880

JULIA looked at the clock on the
~ mantel, it's hands indicating $50
Mr.. Woodford asked me to tell you
they'd want good breakfast" she
said.
Obo grinned happily. eyes, Mis-
sic. Obo always have good break
fasts."
She felt little crushed at this
remark, and was forced to smile to
herself. And then, as she thought
of Tom Payson, her smile faded
quickly. Had he gone back to his
own camp last night?
Or was he still on Evergreen
Island, waiting for another chance
to use the communication system
on the Wood Nymph? Surely, she
thought, he would never be SO
reckless as to attempt it again. And
yet it was his only chance to help
her-and something told her that
he would.
I've got to find him." she told
herself. I've got to tell him that
he mustn't get into trouble on my
account again!"
CHE would have left the lodge
~ then, but Mrs. Joseph appeared
on the balcony and called down a
lofty od-morning. Julia answered
her as pleasantly as she could man
age, wondering how she might get
away without arousing the widows
suspicious.
I'm famished," the woman con-
fessed, making her way regally
down the staircase. I'm afraid I
quite forgot to have dinner last
night. I hope the boys bring in
something delicious from their
hunting trip"
81 think Obo is getting break
fast ready now" Julia told her.
"Indeed?"
1ueTe was uluCAl i4iiPAAOO Al VIZ
word. Julia sensed that the wild
ow was assuming that Julia, as the
companion of the host, had ordered
breakfast in the absence of Wood
ford.
She sensed, also. that the widow
was assuming the situation and
resenting it, too. In sudden flash
Julia recognized the source OF this
strange woman's unhappiness-an
unhappiness that cloaked her
vaguely, yet surely.
She was a possessive woman; a
woman who wanted all things and
ell men. and she could never be
happy on this earth.
JULIA was glad when Cintra APP
u peared at last, yawning indo-
lentIy. The slender dancer had
hardly reached the bottom Of the
stairs when there was a commotion

yachts crew led Payson out of the
lodge. He did not look at Julia as
he left. If he had, he would have
noticed that her eyes were filmed
with sudden tears for the trouble
and humiliation she had caused
him.
Cintra Lee saw Julia's glance fol-
lowing Payson from the room, and
she whispered quickly: Easy there,
Julia. 1 think see through this
and you'll give yourself away"
Julia nodded. her face white. She
saw Woodford walking toward
them.
I'm sorry this had to happen"
he said.
"It's-it's been little upsetting. !"
said Julia weakly. IF you don't
mind, think I'll go up to bed."
VXIOODFORD patted her Shout
w der. Sure, go right ahead,
Julia. We men folk are rising early
for hunting trip in the morning.
Well be back about or 1870 you
see to it that Obo has good break
fast ready!"
AS Julia moved toward the stair,
Cintra said in a low voice, IF the
men folk can hold a bead on any,
thing tomorrow it'll be a wonder"
And when Julia had undressed
nervously and climbed into bed,
she was inclined to agree with Gin
ira. For long after she heard Gin
ira and Mrs. Joseph retire to their
rooms, the men downstairs talked
and laughed, quite as if nothing
had happened. But Julia wondered
about Royal Nesbitt and Hugo
Nash
Under the warming influence of
cocktails they might pretend to
have forgotten. But, remembering
the look in Nash's eyes when Mes
bitt had struck him, Julia doubted
if he would let the matter pass so
easily.
Nesbitt, the happy go-lucky, a
man of quick loves and hates, might
possibly be willing to let things
drop. But something told Julia
that Nash wouldn't forget.
That night she slept fitfully, and
in the morning she was grateful
for a cold shower which revived
her a little and made up for a bad
stretch of hours in the strange
room.
She realized that she must have
slept at least a little toward morn
ing, for she hadn't heard the men
depart on their hunting jaunt. Her
suspicion was that they had failed
to arise at about when she went
downstairs she found Obo laying a
fire on the hearth and he told her
that the "gentumen" had gone be-
fore the sun was up.

why didn't you ask me?" sug-
gested Woodford.
Il naturally assumed you were
aboard the boat. When 1 found
you weren't I tried to get permits

Woodward nodded. Julia saw that
too many cocktails had made him
difficult and nasty. You tried to
get permission for $25. I think it's
odd you didn't ask the captain.
Come on, Payson. What's your
game? What was this message
you wanted to get through"
At the others unpleasant attitude
Payson Strengthened and his cheeks
flushed with anger. After all, Mr..
Woodward, this isn't police court,
you know"
But that's my yacht, Payson.
This is my island, and these are
my men. You can't get away with
anything"
IT WASN'T trying to get away with
4 anything. I have a camp on
the next island. was simply trying
to notify man at the settlement
that wanted him to bring his boat
after me sooner than we'd originally
planned"
Hugo Nash had been watching
and listening, his sensual mouth
twisted with alcoholic cunning.
Now he stepped nearer Payscn. 81
think" he said to Wooiford, that
this bird is lying. There's some
thing queer about this whole thing"
Payson's cheeks had been flushed,
but now they turned suddenly scar
let and he started toward Nash
with his fists clenched. But as he
stepped forward the two men
caught his arms again and brought
him to helpless standstill.
Nash chose this suspicious mo-
ment to accept the challenge. With
as much strength as he could
muster he brought his first against
Payson's mouth.
The women screamed, and Royal
NeSbitt hurried between the two
men. He stood facing Nash a mo-
ment, his eyes cleaning with con-
tempt. And then, wordless, he
struck Nash hard with an open
hand.
IF you're anxious for a fight"
he said icily, 'nobodys holding me,
Nash"
Nash rubbed his smarting cheek.
There's enough trouble here" he
faltered at last. I'll :. I'll talk

is to be much longer than weekend.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

DREATHLESSLY Julia and Gin
~ ira followed the trio into the
big room. When George Woodford
saw the two members of his crew
with Payson between them, his
eyes widened from their alcoholic
squint.
What's all this?" he said
Whats all this?"
I'VE found him trying to get into
the radio room, sir" said one OF
the men.
This astonished Woodford more
than ever. Into the radio room?'
He looked at PaySon. What for?'
he demanded. Then, before PaySun
could answer, Whats your name?"
"Payson," said the younger man
quickly. And I'd like to explain
the whole thing if you'll give me
a chance"
Julia's heart leaped into her
throat and whirred there like a
frightened bird. Was Payson. now
that he had been caught. going to
tell them all why he had been try
ing to use the radio telephone?
Feeling her face afiame, she stood
behind Cintra Lee.
Go ahead, then" said Woodford
angrily. Go ahead and explain"
We'll. when your men say that l
was trying to get into the radio
room they're, quite correct. But the
inference is that they caught me
breaking into it, which isn't true. "
He told me he'd give me IS bucks
If I'd let him in" said one of the
men belligerently.
