Note that eouth's opening no-trump
bid followed passes by North and East,
and was in turn followed By two
passes. Now East decided to reopen the
bidding with . secondary double on
the following reasoning: The no.
trumper's partner had failed to take
any action. Hence It was reasonable
to assume that the remaining high
cards other than those indicated by
the opening bid would be In the West
hand. In addition. East had himself
passed close to an opening bid.
After East's double South, feeling
that his no-trump was powerful, re-
doubled, &hereupon West passed. The
pass in this position Is for business,
apd shows . definite desire to defend
against one no-trump redoubled. This
applies only to m opening one-no-
trump bid: had South opened with
one Of slits West would be request
ing his partner to rescue.

procedure brings the best results, but

once in your life. And I warn you
Il you drag Gay Palmer out there
and explain her to NJ. Harrington as
my fiancee, Ill break your neck"
Gay Palmer was a young lady in
whom Michael had been increasingly
engrossed for some months past. A
nice kid with red hair and freckles, a
little inclined to break furniture when
aroused and not too difficult to arouse.
Michael. of course. enjoyed it. The
deadlier the row, the wilder the
reconciliation.
To get back to the story, was fond
of the Skipper. Having no aunts of my
own, / had more or less adopted
Michaers.
Martha Harrington was small, stout
and prudish-or at least as nearly so
as her over-developed sense of breed
ing would allow. It was Mikes story
and / have never questioned it,
that she presided over his cradle with
Emily Post in one hand and the social
directory in the other. Ever since
had known him. she had certainly
presided over our annual visits,
armed with an exceedingly eligible
young lady to hurl at Michaels head.
But the Skipper was different. If
had an aunt, l should like her to
be like Barbara Harrington. Tall and
square, even mannish in appearance.
and possessed of deep musical voice
and a pair of tragic looking dark
eyes. She wore mostly rough tweeds,
could golf like champion, had taught
Mike all he knew about sailing and
fishing. and spent her time diverting
the attention of her sisters yearly
choices from his luckless head. Yes,
/ was extraordinarily fond of the
Skipper.
And so we went By ape / mean
Michael, Gay Palmer and myself.

Harrington Bluff stands on rocky
little island connected with the main

directly on the bluff, it looks to the
southwark over miles of Long Island
Sound and to the northward over a
long sloping lawn, terminating in
water and the bridge. East and west
lie rocks, and below the rocks, the
beaches. The pier and the boathouse
stand on the western beach. Between
them and the house are the tennis

the entire estate towers a collection
of beautiful old elms. In all, should
say, the island covers about half a
mile of dry land.
In the proper season it is pleasant
to whirl over the old bridge into the
shade of the elms. After four-hour
ride in February it is hardly that.

Michael.
What's Wrong?'
I'VE were established in the library
w almost Immediately. Before the
numbness was fairly out of my hands
and feet NJ. Harrington was sys-
tematically catechizing Michael about
his fall and winter activities. With
Gays assistance he launched into .
dramatic account of a debutante ball.
and l was left to the Skipper, who
stood gazing into the fire, the new
silver in her hair glinting in the
light and the knuckles of the brown
hand resting on the mantel standing
cut livid. so tightly was it clenched
AS l stared at her broad back, feel
ing more and more disturbed, she
whirled and looked me full in the
eyes.
Skipper" / said, grabbing her
hand. what's wrong?"
She smiled. Great Scott, Jim. do ]
look as bad as that?" Her voice was
natural and easy in its booming
cheerfulness. Good Heavens, boy!
You're half frozen. Mike. take that
kid upstairs and pour something into
him. He's cold. Time to dress, any
way"
Definitely uneasy, l mounted the
stairs with Michael. In my room he
parked himself in the best chair and
fumbled for a cigarette.
"Jimmie?"
"Yeah?"
"What the devil do you suppose is
wrong with the Skipper? Aunt Mar
tina doesn't know. And-well, damn
it, she looks rottenl'
You're telling mel" said. why
the deuce can't you stay here and look
after her?"
Michael lighted his cigarette and
glared at the end of it.
Il should. that's a fact" he said.
IF anything goes wrong with the
Skipper, I'll never forgive myself"
And right there, just in case
either of US had changed our opinion
of the Bluff in February, a long,
whistling shrek of wind seemed ac-
tually to shake the house. / thought
of the ride back on Monday and
shivered.
Listen to that" growled Michael.
Enough to make anyone sick. And
when I tried to talk her into going
to Florida this winter, she told me
to put on my long underwear if the
climate bothered me-"
/ didn't point out that the Skipper
had listened to that wind all her life
and thrived on it. Instead I looked
at my watch and observed, IF we
