South had to lead from one of
his three suits and dummy was out
of two of them. He assumed that
declarer might also be out of both
major suit cards. He also could
count declarer as still holding
three trumps and only three side
cards. The situation seemed i'm
possible to save game, no matter
what South did. The lead which
possibly might defeat the contract
was low club, in case North held
the J. A low club was led by
South. 1t might cost game to put
up declarer's J in case North held
one Of the high missing honors, so
the 8 was played and held the
trick. After which South had to
be given the one club trick which
had to be lost by declarer, no mat
ter what South had done.

have been, so that he might try the

The Ace of diamonds was lcs.,

South was in with his K of dia-

There have been cases when the

Quiescent Major Generals.

SOMETHING has gone out OF life.
- For months now no general of
the regular army, whether retired
or detailed to civilian job, has
talked himself into a jana .rasp-
berry jam, if you want to make
cheap pun of it.
Maybe it's being officially gagged
for so long while on active service
that makes such conversational
Tessie out of the average brigadier
when he goes into private pursuits
and let's his hair down. It's
as though he took off his tact along
with his epaulettes. And when he
subsidies there's always another to
take his place.
You see, under modern warfare
the commanding officer is spared.
He may lead the retreat, but never
the charge. When the boys 60 over
the top is he out in front waving
sword? Not so you'd notice it. BY
the new rules he's signing papers
in bombproof nine miles behind
the lines and about the only peril
he runs is from lack of exercise in
the fresh air.
May be, in view of what so often
| happens when peace ensues, w e
| should save on privates instead Of
generals.

Hovick, most famous of strip-tease

suaded him to postpone his career

IT'S confusing to read that poor
decrepit Jim Braddock, having
reached the advanced age Of thirty
four or whereabouts, is all washed
up, and, then, in another column,
to discover that the leading candi-
dates to supply young blood on the
Supreme court bench are but bound
ing juveniles of around sixty-six.
This creates doubt in the mind OF
a fellow who, let us say, IS quite
few birthdays beyond that en-
gendered wreck, MIR. Braddock, yet
still has a considerable number OF
years to 60 before he'll be an agile
adolescent like some senators. He

own on the side, buying up or steal- ing jewels on the other side and sneaking them in here past our cus- toms. That's why he got a job with this outfit that shipped things from London. No one would ever suspect the representative of such Q reliable house. because of this setup his scheme had been working fine. But he finally stubbed his toe on this statue thing"
 "iisw comep" prompted Bob to hurry the story to the end before Steve might be called out,
 He holloweo out a hole in the bottom of the thing, put the un- cut stones in there, and plastered 1t over so slick you'd never sus- pect. If one of the men hadn't knocked 1t against something when he was putting it in place and knocked of a hunk of the plaster, they never would have caught on"
 Did you snag the man9" asked Bob.
 That's the no part of it," an- swered Steve. "Of course now If I'd been on the job, he'd not have slipped through my fingers like he did theirs, But somehow he got wind of what had happened and just blew without anybody ever finding confounded trace of him, You can see the fool statue down there in the Museum now, It's still got that hole in the soleS of his feet"
 What did the fellow look likep" Bob leaned forward eagerly, "Was he tall and dark9"
 Sure, but so are plenty of peo- pie. That fellow who came with the statue had a scar across one side of his face In front of the ear, You'd think he'd be easy enough to pick up on account of 1t, but nobody's got him yet"
 "A good facial surgeon could Ak that so 1t wouldn't show" Bob suggested,
 Maybe, but he'd have to be really good. The scar was e bad one, We've checked on this guy as far as we could, and find he's an Italian with police record in his own country. Not an Indian Rajah or e Russian nobleman or any of the other things he's passed himself of as.'
 "Supposing he had had the scar removed, do you think you'd know him if you saw him ia the shadow box, fer instaneep" asked Bob.
 Steve took off his cap and ran his fingers through his thin hair. Not sure, Of course, but I believe I would. Amt anyone on the force can identify like can. I've proved that. Even If the guy hasn't been mugged yet" Which boast Bob happened to know was true.
 Immediately the image of Pro- lessor Braeey rose before his minds eye, the thin-lipped cruel mouth and mysterious hSlf-elosed eyes with their beetling black brows, If there was any mark of surgery on his face, the long side- burns which he effected would cover 1t. Very clearly now Bob

CHAPTER K

Threading his way recklessly through the traffic of the city streets, Bob hurried to police headquarters, where he looked up his friend Steve Carnahan. More than once Steve had given him the lead for a good plot in exchange for cigar and @ few minutes adroit questioning. Steve was one of the men who actually read his warns. When he found out why Bob hung about so persistently and whenever things slowed up, he was quite willing to discuss his own exploits in detail. None Of the thrilling captures he had made, or the hair-raising escapes he had had, lost anything in his account of them. But Bob was satisfied to sit through many min- utes of boastful mementos for the sake Of the few scattered ideas which he could use, Besides, in SteveIs opinion, Bob was the greatest living author. This was due perhaps to the fact that the detectives knoweldge of anything pertaining to literature was scanty, to say the least,
 Now Steve removed his feet from the battered chair in front of him and looked up with interest as Bob pushed open the door.
 "Hip he greeted him. "What's on your chest so early in the dayp Another deadline to make? Or is the beautiful heroine about to be fed poison?"
 Bob grinned, handed over the cigar, and perched himself on Q corner of the desk "Theyre sure handing her something that may prove to be poison," he answered, "That's why came down to talk to you"
 Steve pushed his hat over one ear and screwed his face Into what he considered q literary frown, "shoot" he ordered In his best official tone,
 "That yarn you were telling me about the guy who came over from London with that Egyptian piece for the Museum, remem- ber2" Bob began, You know, the ono who brought in some stuH of his own duty free. Hidden in the old statue, wasn't it7"
 Tt was, and howl" Steve puffed out his chest and settled back In his chair. That's what comes of spending the publie's money on some old wreck of a thing that ain't got as much real value as that cigar"
 Bob lighted cigaret. Culture and art, man.

 "YeS and mo-" ansered Steve "You see this fool thing was bought from 0 reliable firm In London that gets such things foi museums and collectors, and e man came along with it to be sure that 1t got there okay. That's where the smuggling part comes in. The statue was of some silly looking Egyption god, oSi-"
