Karen was physically sick. But
She got ready to go just the same.
She felt this belated obedience
might be good for her soul. It was
kind of penance, which came
too late to help poor Webber.
Pings car was at the side door
IN an hour, and Lucy, bags
packed, was waiting to stow them
into the car. When Karen came
downstairs she looked very i'll. The
lump over her eye had blackened
the eyelid, and her face was chalk
white"
DO you feel well enough to take
the drtve?" Ping asked as he
watched Lucy tie a veil over
Karen's bruised face.
Il feel like an escaped convict, :"
she told Ping after they got
started. The air did her good. But
shortly she began to cry and she
wept for hours.
Regret is a bitter companion.
Karen was learning that fact. Her
self-reproach was complete and
abject. But that did not help now.
She was always sorry and re-
morSeful-when it was too late.
Shed wrecked a life; left a tiny
baby fatherless!
1t was hours before Karen could
think coherently. She remem.
bered some of the things Serge had
said about her.
They're true. I am a barba.
r1an!" She made all kinds of
Spe !, important resolutions.
Shed marry Ping, devote her life
to good works. She was through
with the crowd that played around
the smart New York bars.
Pensively she fancied herself a
model Of virtue, living a respect
able dull life. Could she endure
that? She thought so then.
Karen was on her good behavior.
Although her head was splitting,
and her eyes panied terribly, she
did not complain. She sat there
patiently while Ping drove on, de-
termined to land them safely in his
winter camp.
1t was just midnight when he
pulled in. The caretaker had hot
soup on the kitchen stove, a huge
fire in the fireplace.
You'll like it here, Karen, when
you get used to it, Ping said. IF
you'll let me, I'll come up and see
you next week. Just for couple
of days."
QUIET
The next afternoon when Ping
left Karen saw him drive away
with real regret. Hes a nice boy,
Lucy" Karen reflected. Mice and
safe"
That's what you need, Miss
Karen" Lucy said with unusual
firmness. And Karen meekly as
Sented.
For the first few days Karen was
quiet. She needed rest. She loved
the snow-coVered countryside. She
spent part of her time tramping
through the woods just back of
Pings cabin.
After that first day Karen's
father notified her it was not wise
to use the telephone. He was
afraid their calls might be checked
at the house.
Karen pottered about, helping
Lucy in the kitchen, playing old
phonograph records. The cabin
had no radio.
Ping came up to see her at the
end of the first week. They skated
and hiked together. Ping talked
about their wedding plans for June,
and told Karen she could come
back to the city within a couple
Of days.
"There's just little formality to
get over, that's ALL" he said.
Everything will be set surely by
the end Of next week"
rs everybody talking much?"
"Sure, but they can't prove any
thing and don't know anything, so
to the devil with them!

It is perhaps human nature to hate to give up anything without a struggle, but the bridge player and to cheerfully concede trick, when the simplest of mathematical processes discloses that it must be lost. Sometimes this rather begrudg- should learn to bow to the inevitable ing liberality will assure him against the loss of two tricks, which might happen if he failed to adopt safety measures.
 In today's hand, the only prob- lem facing declarer is how to limit his trump losses to one trick. He must lose one club and one diamond, regardless of how these suits are distributed, so the trump suit pres ents him with his sole brain teaser.

there was no way to play spades to avoid losing at least one trick. One way of playing the hand would be to lay down the ace and king, hop ing tha trumps held by East and West were dicided three and three.
 South, however, saw better way out. He won the opening lead with the ace, and then led low spade to the jack. This play could cost little and gave him one additional chance to make the hand, if four trumps were punched in the West hand.
 West was on the spot. If he put up the queen, South then could pick up his trumps. If he did not play the queen, the jack would win and later he could make only one trick, anyway.
 Hoping that South had bid too much. he played low, and later won his on trump, instead of the two he had hoped to make.
