rible Shricks that the Little Cheese had ever heard. And at her feet snakes of all descriptions were pouring from box. There were big snakes and little snakcs. Green snakes, brown snakes, and black snakes. Mottlcd snakes, specklcd snakes. HiB8ing snakes and non-higsing snakes. And all of them were pouring out of the box, in twisting, milling fantasy of reptilian confusion.
 For a second the Little Cheese stood rooted to the floor. He knew now, beyond doubt. He not only had the D. ITS; he was in the last stages of them. He rccled suddenly, uttered a hoarsc, pitcous cry, leapt over the tangled snakes as the chamOig leaps the chasm and landed on the bed. To rip open the bcdclothcs was the work of q split second.

Mr Red Scoia

A terrible thing happened. Lights went up. But they were not the kind desired by the Little Cheese. Instead horrible face, the eyes glassy and staring, pcered into his. The Little Cheese jumped foot in the air. Then, paralyzed with fear, | he glanced over his shoulder. From across the room another face, even more ghaStly than the first, glared at him. It was the face that gloWcd redly over slayering jaws. And then to his horror he discovered another one, wicked, demoniacal, the face of werewolf
 Conyulged with terror, the Little Cheese looked suddenly at the floor. And there at his very feet glarcd up the most awful face of all, great, grinning countenance with long tongue and a row of frightful, gleaming teeth. The bones of the Little Cheese turned to jelly. His shaking lips babbled supplication. And then, all at once, the truth dawned on him.
 He had pressed an ordinary light button. And what had happened? Instead Of ordinary lights there had come this collection of grimac- ing, malignment faces, making of the room q vcritable chamber of horrors In a flash he understood. His doctor had been right. He had the D. ITS. He had 'em bad. Shaking in every limb, the Little Cheese backed toward the window by which he had entered. All thoughts of Bull Griffin fled from his mind. He had to get out of here. He had to scram for his life. He took another backward step and trod on something. A sudden rip rent the stiffness. A moment before Wolfgang, Miss Fenimore's dachshund, had been pursuing an orderly course across the living room. And then suddenly he had got wedged be- tween something. The something had stumbled over him and kicked him en route. Now 1t had backed up and stepped on his paw. Wolf gang was not uEcd to this sort of thing. His yip was yip Of protest.
 Upon the Little Cheese 1t had marked effect. He leapt as leapeth he who is prodded in the postcrior with a pin. Then, all at once, he went mad. Before him loomed deyilg' faces: behind them was something nameless that yipped. In fog of fear and bcWilderment the Little Cheese dashed across the room and away from the window. He plunged into q vista Of gloom and then stopped abruptly, slithertng along the floor.
 Another face, the face of I | hideous, staring fish, barred the way. MT, Hardness had done his work thoroughly. He had even electrified the specklcd trout in the dining room.
 A wave of red frenzy sWcpt over the brain of the Little Cheese. He lost all sense of direction and plung- i, cd HauIy dDout, OVcfturnlDK chairs and tables and all that got in his way. Then he found himself going down kind Of hallway. a hallway rnercifully devoid of grinning faces And there was thin silver of light coming from under what appeared to be door.
 As the desert traveller races toward the oasis. the Little Cheese raced for that light. His fumbling hands found a knob. He flung the door open and plunged into q room. The next instant an un- earthly scream rang through the | house.
 The room was garishly lighted. By the bed stood woman in white, woman who now loosed of a succession of the most ter

The Hudson's Bay Co. fixed things
up for us, and had 50-foot sailboat

gine. Besides the skipper, the engi-

'Nanook!" and that brought us to our

Dad dashed down the hatch for
the movie camera. Since the guns
were in the hold, I grabbed my bow

The first round Of bidding was nor
NAL enough. and North's second-round
control-shoWing bid in diamonds was
of course fully justified by his tre-
mendous hand. Following this cue
bid Mr.. Gushing studied his hand very
carefully and decided first that his op-
ponents surely could make a small
slam and possibly q heart grand slam.
At the same time he knew that he
could beat seven spades since 4 double
would call for heart lead which he
could trump. He was not vulnerable
and realized that seven diamonds could
not be beaten badly (actually with q
heart opening he would have been
down only two at that contract, while
double dummy defense would allow the
opponents to ruff two clubs and set
him four tricks). Finally, Mr.. Cush-
ing decided that If he did Jump to
seven diamonds. he would increase the
likelihood Of having the opponents play
the hand in spades If they did decide
to bid seven.
This Is actually what happened.
South, with singleton club and the
king-jack to MI in his partners heart
suit, decided to pass and allow his
partner the choice between doubling
or bidding the grand slam. North,
with first-round control of clubs (the
unbid suiD, now decided the grand
slam was worth bidding and contracted
for seven spades. Mr.. Gushing doubled.
West obediently opened q heart and
the hand was set. OF course, If Mr..
Gushing had bid his hand normally,
the opponents might still have got
ten to seven spades. However, the
jump in diamonds certainly did no
harm.
