 South realized that no good pur- pose would be served by showing his other biddable suit, as the double raise had determined the suit. How ever, with his very strong hand, he felt justified in further exploring the possibilities of a grand slam, and the bid of four no trump ideally met this situation.
 North however, lacked the require nents for five no trump response, and showed the one ace he did hold by bidding five diamonds.
 South then contented himself with bidding six spades, which of course presented no playing problem what ever.

the high spots of color stood out
on his smoothly tanned skin.

expertly as he, geiandesprung an
open brook, break her speed with
a series of linked "christies" and
miss the barbed wire fence.
She thought she heard Dams
voice again, raised in shrill warn

But now Sally was driven on by
a stronger force than anger, or
hatred or love. She was filled
with the sheer exultation Of speed,
the mad glory of danger.
She knew that soon Dan would
catch up with her, although she
had got off TO such a head start.
She could not keep the lead all

brook with one wide clean sweep
