Anette stood motionless, still per-

wet head against his chest, paying

and drew back slightly.
He pulled her back into the same
tight hold. Il could keep you from

"A beautiful, hammy speech,
Larry. But in that case you couldn't

His eyes flared and he released
her. Must you be so darned mat

halfway across the floor. Annette,

West opened the six of hearts,
realizing from the bidding Gust as
South haO that dummy would be
very short in clubs. Against any
other lead South could have man
aged to ruff two clubs in the
dummy. discarding his losing dia-
mond on the king of spades. The
lead convinced him, however, that
the enemy would hold him to one
club ruff, so he attempted to bring
in the spade suit.
At the second trick, therefore, he
laid down the spade ace and ruffed
a low spade in his own hand. Then
he led a low club. West took the
club ace and returned a second
round of trump. South won, ruffed
club with dummy's last trump,
and ruffed another spade in his own
hand.
When West failed to follow suit, it
was apparent to South that only
a squeeze could save him. He there
fore led both of his remaining
trumps, discarding low diamonds
from the dummy.
East had discarded q diamond on
the second round of trump and could
afford to release the queen of clubs
on the third round, but the fourth
round settled his hash. He couldn't
afford to unguard the spade queen,
SO had to discard another diamond.
Thereupon South led diamond to
dummy's king. discarded the last
club on dummy's spade king and
won the last two tricks in his own
hand with the ace and nine OF
diamonds.

That is very heartening to

II is possible that a bar
