Contract Bridge

East's decision to become declarer,
rather than have partner do so.
The sOunGest reason for East's &C.
ton was to safeguard his spades,
until they could be discarded upon
dunlmys clubs. Had East been
dummy the opening lead would
have been spade through him.
AS declarer the opening lead
had to come from his left and he
was prepared to have that lead

The opening lead was the of

took four rounds of trumps to pick
up those held by South. Then seven
tricks in clubs were run. On the

his three spades and his remaining
diamond, giving him a grand slam,
or one trick over his doubled and
redoubled contract, making quite
killing.

CATCHES
3O-POUND TROUT
WHITEFISH LAKE PRODUCES BIG
FISH; EXCITEMENT FOR
SPORTSMEN

L. E. Scott, manager of the Noun
tain States Power Co. at Whitefish,
recently took his third big fish out
of Whitefish lake, q Mackinaw trout
weighing 30 pounds. It dressed rs
pounds and one ounce.
There is great excitement among
sportsmen, as so many big fish have
not been taken out of Whitefish lake
in years as have been caught this
season.
Some believe that the big fish are
coming in from an underground stream.
In the vicinity Of Beaver bay, where
the big ones are being taken, the bot
tom of the lake has never been sounded.
SCOTS fish was exhibited with Austin
Smiths display at Kalispell and was
the largest n shown. The biggest fish
in the display caught by a woman was
entered by Mrs. Florence Sundelius.
It weighed 81 pounds and one ounce.

man with a kindly face, bent anxiously
over her.
"oh, I'm sorry" she cried. Have I
hurt the carp"
The question is-has the car hurt
To his relief, although bruised and
shaken, she was miraculously intact.
She rose unsteadily to her feet, and
was beginning to tumble for her POWDER
puff, when he spoke to her.

AS she was on her way to work, it

retary-dispenser. To her dismay, there
was an appreciate pause before she
could remember it. In the end, however,
her brain began to function again, and
not long afterwards, the car stopped
before the right door.
Dr.. Perry lived in a large old
ancient city, which was dominated by
gray cathedral towers. Nearly every
street was lined with lines, or chest
nuts, which formed cool tunnels during
the summer heat. A slow green river
flowed slowly through the town, which
had been half asleep for the last hun
dred years.
Merle loved every stone of it, but this
evening, it seemed doubly precious, be-

tered the house, by the private way OF
the dispensary, and threw herself down
into a deep leather chair.

the doctor was out, at a case IN the
country. He was only beginning to build
up a practice, and there were no ap-
pointments for the evening.
AS she sat in the twilight, smelling
the familiar druggy odor. blended with
the scent of the jeSSamine screen over
the windows, Merle grew cold to realize
the risk to which she had exposed Puck
by her criminal careleSSneSS. Although
the gentleman had an imposing string
of names, his nickname was apt, since
he was rather like a miSchievouS ELF.
He vas the kind of child to whose
appeal women are Observation-Disclosures,
affectionate, clever, and a champion
trouble maker. Merle was especially
sentimental and apprehensive over him,
because he was her sole salvage from
an unhappy past:
She had endured a little hell Of proxy
suffering during her ~twin-sister, Mar
Wis disastrous marriage to Lewis Gore.
Unfortunately, her brother-in-law's
conduct offered no loop-hole for legal
redress. His mean bullying nature was
not manifested in acts of violence, just
as-although he soaked continually
no had ever seen him drunk -.
But he contrived to drain his young
wife Of her Joy and vitality, so that,
at the first illness, she flickered out
OF life, leaving her baby boy in Merle's
care.
At first, Merle was too stunned with
grief, and too worried about the future,
to appreciate her legacy. It took nearly
to finance Lewis and clear him out Of
the country. Since he had gone, how
ever, she could hardly believe In her
present happiness and peace.

Tor she was conscious of the doctors

kindly practical man, and she was
growing very fond of him.
AS usual, she considered Puck's in

clusion that, besides the benefit of q
resident physician, the young domestic
tyrant needed masculine authority.
She had drifted off into a light sleep

the ticking of the grandfather's clock.

made her feel so queer and dizzy, that
she knew that further work was out

To her dismay, she found that she

crossed over to the shelves. Her head

A journal, dealing with tropical dis
ease, lay on the table, displaying the
word "Borneo," in heavy type, above
an article.
In spite of her happiness, some Of
felt apprehensive and feverishly anx-
ious to see Puck and know that all was
well with him. Ramming on her hat,

ran most of the way home, so that
when she reached the bungalow, she
was in a state of utter exhaustion.

"Of course not . . Now you drink
this, and off to bed with you,m my lady,"
As she was unaccustomed to slim
ulants, Merle was practically drunk
when Mrs. Thomas undressed her, and
tucked her up. She lay through the
night in a heavy dreamless sleep, and
awoke carefree and refreshed.
As she lay and listened to the cheer
full sounds of an awakening world, she
watched the curtains blowing into her
room, and the green flicker Of a beech
tree shaking against a windy blue sky,
It was a day when it was good to be
alive. She heard the milk cart on the
road and the welcome rattle of china
from the kitchen, while she waited for
the reinsurance of a child's voice, to
tell her that the angels had not called
for Puck during the night.

drifted before her eyes, she managed
to measure and mix a sedative.
AS she raised it to her lips, she felt
suddenly too sick to drink it. Laying

cavern of the big dining room, where
she Topped down in an easy chair.
Closing her eyes, she listened to the
distant sounds of Mrs. Stock moving
about in the kitchen, until she was
aroused by the creaking of the door.
Jumping up in a panic, she stared,
in incredulouS horror, at her brother
in-laW, Lewis Gore.
He was tall and enormously stout,
light cold eyes-set in deep pouches
glittered like white glass, as he nodded
in casual greeting.

The mean speech, which flattened

spread of pap, was typical of his men,

head was throbbing like a dynamo as
she thought Of Puck. He had to be
tempted to eat, even in an English imi-
tation heat wave, while he grew languid
and limp as a wax candle.
It was torture to picture him-be-
wildered, unhappy, ill-torn from his
devoted slaves and handed over to cal

Some IS or 20 years ago, there were
still standing on the grounds Al trees
which were planted by this illustr1ous
man. OF course these trees must most
naturally, be of great interest TO the
American people, since they are living
memorials of the man who placed
them there. Three pecan trees, prob
ably planted in 1775, are the Oldest
of the group, so far as known. Tney
are on the lawn and are said to be IN
very good condition. However, the
tallest trees are the tulips or yellow
poplars, one Of which Is 12o feet tan.
These represent only a few OF the
reminders of Washington to be seen
at Mount Vernon. and of course, his
tomb is awe inspiring. for here are TO
be seen the sarcophagi in which Gen.
and Mrs. Washington lie side by side.

GENTLY met to warrant the transfer
of the property. Since then, Mount
Vernon, the home Of Washington. has
been in the hands of fine group OF
women, who administer its affairs in
a most thorough and efficient manner.
Before the ladies purchased the estate,
it was fast going to pieces for want
of care, and it is not too much to say
that its preservation is certainly large
" due to their fosesight and efforts.

of his own, which not even Washing
ton could control. He fell in love with
girl across the river, Eleanor CAL
vert, daughter Of Benedict Calvert OF
Mount Airy, Md, and lineal descend
ant Of Lord Baltimore. Both OF them,
Washington thought, were too young
TO marry.
"They finally were married at the
home of the brides parents. Washing
ton, the records show, attended the
wedding. Martha Washington felt so
badly about it that she would not
attend. She had hoped that her son
would study for one Of the learned
professions but her hopes were blasted.
Shortly afterward the couple came
to Mount Vernon to live. After two
years Washington purchased for them,
from Gerald Alexander, one Of the
founders Of Alexandria, the beautiful
river estate of Abingdon. For a few
years everything went smoothly. Four
children were born to them. John
Gusts had plenty Of money. inherited
from his father. His mother and step
father were frequent visitors and
Abingdon was center of the colorful
life of the colonial gentry.
Then came the Revolution. John
Gusts served as aide-de-camp to his
stepfather During the closing days Of
the Yorktown campaign he was taken
down with a malignant fever and was
taken to the home Of an aunt, a few
miles away.
"This took from Washington all the
happiness which might have been ex-
pected from the surrender Of Corn
wallis and the end of the Revolution.
Immediately after the surrender he
hurried to the bedside Of his sick STEP
son, arriving only few minutes before
the young mans death"
It was then that George Washington
adopted the two youngest OF the chill
dren--George and Eleanor. And it was
the marriage of this adopted daughter
to Washington's own nephew that
brought him so much pleasure in his
declining days at Mount Vernon. yet
1t was followed in less than a year by
the sad death Of the master of the
estate himself, and in brief two years
later, by his wife and lifes companion.
THE last hours Of Gen. Washington
have been we'll described by. his
| adopted son, George Washington
Parke Gusts, whose account follows:
"On the morning Of the 18th, the
General was engaged in making some

non. AS was usual with him. he car
ried his own compass, noted his obser-
vations and marked out the ground.
The day became rainy, with sleet. and
the improver remained so long ex-
posed to the inclemency of the weather
as to be considerably wetted before his
return to the house. About one o'clock,
he was seized with chillness and
nausea, but having changed his
clothes, he sat down to his indoor
work-there being no moment Of his
time for which he had not provided
an appropriate employment.
