 "The meaning is," he said, that we keep the old homestead for another six months, at least. And you" - he whirled suddenly on Wilton-"you dirty, little rat. I'd like to plaster you all over the state of Connecticut"
 Sally came to life. If anybody was going to raise the devil with Wilton Ames, she thought that it should be she.
 And let me tell you this, Will ton Ames," she snapped. If you ever so much as - as look at me again, I'll slap your face so hard that your head will ring till Christmas"

 It was all Kinks wanted. He had just socked one jaw. And he felt exactly like seeking another. After all. man can't fly on one wing.

A British Crown Awaits Her

NO ordinary child is l2-year-old
 Princess Elizabeth of England, for some day she will in all proba- bility be crowned queen of the British Empire. Only the birth of a son to King George and Queen Elizabeth would prevent the princess from succeeding her father.
 So this fair-haired daughter is being trained for the throne that almost certainly lies ahead of her and the royal family, and the em- pire seems already to accept the step. Awakened promptly at 7:30 each morning, Elizabeth begins a busy day marked by unsparing supervision. From breakfast to the tutor's room, the life of this future ruler is one elaborately regulated routine.
 Later she will experience a more rigorous education, training in diplomacy and world economies, Meantime. she studies French, court etiquette, plays in her spe- cially built four-room dolls house where she once entertained Queen Mary at tea. Her chief hobby is Girl Guides. She recently passed the tenderfoot test. In her studies, she excels in history, geography, reading and writing.
 But already Elizabeth senses the respon instability of her

was a good thing. For the tears came suddenly now, like rain in Pago Pago. She turned, fled down to the river and flung herself on the grass. Kinks? Kinks had simply walked out of his responsi- bilities. He claimed he loved her, wanted to marry her. But he'd left her at the crucial moment, left her to fight a losing battle with Spencer Ames. And here he was, with the loss of their inheri- tance not two hours away, blithely shooting crap. It was too much Sally Pennington put her face in her hands.
 In the barn the Great Pierre was very hot. He had started slowly, but now the dice were rolling his way. His pile of money grew. He made pass after pass. He doubled his stakes recklessly. And still he won. He won con- sistently.
 "Geez, Frenchy," sad Bull Grif- fin moodily, fading $10, dis must be yer game. never see such luck !"
 The Great Pierre's hands were like swift birds. Impossible to follow them. Every once in a while, they would flash to his side. And then Kinks, who knelt next to him, would reach sureptittiously over. And MT. c. K. Titus watching silently from the running-board would smile to himself.
 All at once Kinks leapt to his feet.
 Well" he cried, I'm cleaned out. You guys go ahead" He dashed suddenly from the barn.
 How long she'd been crying, Sally Pennington didn't know. She felt herself lifted suddenly.
 Where's that $400?" Kinks Parker was shouting in her ear.
 She looked at him blankly, the tears streaming down her cheeks.
 Tn m-my handbag" she said "A - check. But you-you don't you touch me. I hate you.
 Nuts" cut in Kinks. Come on."
 He seized her wrist and raced her across the lawn. Sally's car stood in the driveway. To Kinks amazement, c. K. Titus sat in the back.
 I'm coming with you," said C.. K. Titus.
 There wasn't time to find out why. Kinks pushed Sally in. The car roared out of Mrs. Preston s grounds.
 At the bank in Winstock MT. Spencer Ames sat with smile playing about his lips. He looked across the desk at his son Wilton

 MT Bettinson never finished it. There was the unmistakable sound of a jaw being socked. Something heavy crashed. The door of MT. Ames' office was flung violently open. The next instant Sally Pen nington, Kinks Parker and an unas- suming, unknown gentleman stood in the room.
 Spencer Ames struggled to his feet.

nationally recognized star, but bad overalls as well as doubles are made every day, even by dis tinguished players.
 The opening lead was ruffed by Katz, who sat South.
 He then lead a small club to North'S ace and returned the spade ten in order to control the timing on the hand. Whether East covered or not he was lost. If he covered South could pull four rounds of trumps and then play clubs, East making one trump and one other trick. If East ducked the spade ten, North could play a small club, and then draw trumps. North and South score 880 points plus the game bonus of 500. This represented a swing in favor of their team of 1480 points, as 8 contract of six spades was reached with no adverse bid- ding against their teammates, and | th.s contract was defeated one trick.
 The correct contract of six clubs would have approximately equalized the score.
