Never Again.
A BOUT the first psychic bidder
we ever heard of was an auc-
ton bridge player named Arthur
Adelman, who liked to create ex-
citement and used to open every bid
with one no trump, regardless of his
strength or distribution. The result
was complete chaos. Since Mr.. Adel-
mans no trump opening would usual
ly be made on worthless hand, the
opponents would frequently bid, Mr..
Adelman's partner would hold good
hand and double, whereupon rescue
by the psychic bidder was in order.
The results were often hilarious, and
Mr.. Adelman would usually wind up
playing some impossible contract at
which he had been doubled. As he
was magnificent card player, he
would always get out with the mini
mum loss, and occasionally his weird
style of bidding would produce a fine
result. In rubber bridge game not
long ago woman player tried this
type of psychic no-trump bidding
with disastrous results.
East, Dealer
North-South vulnerable.

After the vulnerable one-spade
opening the woman player decided to
try a bluff two no-trump overcall,
feeling that she could run to her
long club suit if doubled. Meant to
fool the opponents, her bid completely

implicitly, Immediately jumped to six

diamonds for declarer to bring in three
tricks in that suit. The final result

They left the apprehensive Ernie on watch,
climbed in the sheriff's sedan and bumped
over the sodden road leading to the Palmetto
Island bridge. David said, I'm completely
bewildered, Matt. sort of agreed with you -
about Alan - until we found Val's body"
Thing to do is to find Alan Maybe he'll
give us the whole story right away You see,
David, there's too many folks who know all
about how things was. Of course, we can't
figure Val in it - him bein' just the caretaker
- but supposin' Alan had just killed Ramsay
an Val was upstairs in one of the bedrooms
an come out on the balcony - why, it amt
unnatural that Alan might have lost his head
an let fly"
The faintest suggestion of smile creased

there's murder, Matt - but l kind of doubt

me too," Sheriff Rice admitted. I'm just
talkin'. All I'm sure of is them two fellers are
dead, an somebody killed 'em. Less'n of
course they killed each other"
'And to that last idea I'd ask. first: Why?
And second: Where is Val's gum"
Don't ask me- David. I'm tryin' to figure
that out myself"
Theyreached the Ramsay home and banged
on the door. There was no answer and they
circled the house to the servants quarters.
There they found Gravy, the ebony butler.
He gave scant, but important information.

season it teens with activity. The rest
of the year it is almost deserted, as it was the
August that sudden whim led Bruce Ramsay
to open his Island home.
For two years his beautiful wife Judith had
tried to make a success of their marriage. That
August on Palmetto Island she at last gave
up trying. She telephoned her childhood
sweetheart, Alan Keith, who was now engaged
to her friend Nan, that she was leaving her
husband; she requested Alan to meet her at
the hunting lodge on nearby island and
drive her to the mainland; then she set out,
in wild storm, to meet him.
Her husbands car splattered past her and
she realized that he was on his way to con-
front Alan When she reached the Lodge,
flash of lightning revealed his parked car.
Alan was just arriving and persuaded her to
60 inside the Lodge.
A shocking sight met their eyes. Bruce
Ramsay lay before the fireplace - murdered!
Alan was quick to realize that because
Judith's phone call had been overheard he
would be accused of the murder Dropping
into his pocket gun she had thoughtlessly
picked up, he told her they must get away. As
they sped from the Lodge, he and Judith
found that they still cared for each other.
They soon reached the home of his fancee,
Nan Marshal.
Her father. Darid Marshal. whose advice
Alan wished to ask, in the meantime had gone
with the sheriff and his assistant, Ernie, to the
hunting lodge. where they had discovered
Ramsay's body, with gun beneath it. The
sheriff asserted that Ramsay must have been
killed by Alan Keith in self defense. Suddenly
he gave an exclamation and rushed up the
stairway.
On the balcony lay the dead body of Val
Gregory, the caretaker!

He was queer sort, this Val. Never mar
ried, did he?"
"Nope Always lived alone on Duck Island.
Reckon that's why these millionaires took
him on as caretaker: Just cause he happened
to be here"
did he live here - in the Lodge?"
"Naaaah Got place near the ocean front
An durin' the season he had helpers, but not
in the summer"
David Marshal rose and faced the sheriff
"Val was shot from downstairs, all right. You
can see for yourself that the bullet ranged up
ward"
Matt Rice nodded. I'm kind of goin'
around in circles. David. Why should any,
body kill Val?"
Maybe he just happened in at the wrong
time. It'll be easy enough to find out if he was
killed by bullet from Ramsay's gum"
''Sure. What you call it,"
"Ballistics. Its as certain as fingerprints"
Ernie said, "Yeh. An suppose Bruce RAM
say did kill Val - I'm wonderin' who killed
Bruce" He blinked his gray. watery eyes,
impressed by his own deductive prowess AN
if Alan Keith killed em both - why, all I'll
say is he's better shot than thought he
was, cause both these fellers got it right in
the heart"
MAYBE" volunteered the sheriff, maybe
Ramsay an Val killed each other. But it
don't look that way" He shrugged his shoul-
ders. I'm goin' out to the Ramsay place
befo' gittin' back to town. You want to go

Preserving
Youthful
Chin Line
H elpful Hints on
Keeping Firm
Contour.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

ONE reader makes the observation
that "for the most part mems
neckS seem to look younger and longer
than women's you don't see quite
SO much scrawniness or wrinkles or
sagging :. yet with women very often
the neck is the most difficult part to
keep young, and very often, too, the
neck looks years older than the face
that accompanies it. Why?"
**
think that the workout that the
average mans neck gets in the daily
process of shaving has much to do
with its firm grip on youth. There's
no denying that the circulation is
stimulated, even if the skin itself is
somewhat irritated. Then the pull
and stretch of the muscles as head
is tilted backward is very similar to
the exercise recommended as one Of
the best to keep the chin in a state
of le-bleSsedness.
Just as men achieve a daily work
out for chin and neck through shaw
ing the fairer sex can do wonders by
creaming, patting and massage coupled
with chin and neck exercises. Such
a daily workout will keep the skin
soft and wrinkles at bay; will stimu-
late the circulation, and after all a
healthy blood stream is one Of the
finest beautiflers, and will keep the
muscles toned"
Complete directions for chin and
throat treatment similar TO that prac-
ticed in some of the finest beauty
salons through the country are out
lined in my bulletin called Home
Facial" A self-addresSed, stamped
(3-cen0 envelope will bring this to
you. Please ask for it by name, how
ever. 1t outlines step by step molding
and massage movements and gives in
structions for making a cotton patter
at home.
Briefly, the ideal chin and throat
routine consists of four steps. First
thorough cleansing. Then application
of soothing emollient cream. Di-
rectly over that skin tonic or a mild
astringent should be patted quite
vigorously. The combination of cream
and aStringent is an excellent one to
whip up the circulation, soften the
skin, tone the muscles. The fourth
step calls for exercise. Chewing in
the privacy Of your own room is a
good exercise. Try the simple exer-
else of dropping chin as far front as
possible, then slowly up and back
until the back of the neck rests be-
tween shoulder blades.
The home tie-up is another essen
tial and complete directions for this
also are outlined in my bulletin:
Home Facial Resume" Chin and
neck exercises will also be included II
you specify that you wish these, too.
Please include self-addreSSed, stamped
