queen. not one single North player earned par by making the right play, which is to let the queen win.
 The object of this extraordinary duck is to shut West out of the lead forever, so that the spade king cannot be picked up. Declarer has three losers at least, one in spades and two in clubs. One club loser can be discarded on 8 top heart. But two tricks will be lost in spades uYl- less dumrny's clubs can be cleared for more discardS. If a club trick is lost to West, a spade lead through the king will set the declarer at once.
 By letting the heart queen win the first trick, declarer can later discard two clubs on the ace and king of hearts, then establish the clubs by ruffing, without further loss of the. lead. Two long clubs give two spade discards.
 The tournament was conducted by mail, and among the seAthern colleges and universities that par ticipated were Alabama, Kentucky, Loyola of the South, and Tusculum.

Dexel's one faux pas was when he threw the hand into Darwin's cabin aboard the Caribou - a blunder inspired by the Nazi principle of terrorizing the enemy.
 Back in Chicago, John Dexel hadn't dared tell Carole Fiske about her brother and Darwin Lemoy. If she had known that Bernard was dead and Darwin was in prison awaiting execution, she might have confessed every thing in the hope of getting Dar- win off with jail sentence. So, to explain Darwin's silence, John had faked a story that Darwin had killed Paul Dexel in an argu- ment over the spy ring and was hiding from the Newfoundland police.
 There it was, superb case, thoroughly ironed out, Dawson had started with snapshot of d girl and piece of beefsteak on a hanged mans heel, and un- covered major spy ring. But there was no thrill of satisfaction now.

TRAGIC NEWS
 CHAPTER XIII
HENRY

The three days after Carole Fiske's escape to St. Johns were the longest Clyde Dawson had ever known. The Eastern Air Command had told him that blizzard was rolling in over northeastern New fcundland and it was already "ceil- ing zero" at the airport where he must land. The last boat for three days had sailed that morning from North Sydney for Port-aux- -Basques, to connect with the Newfoundland Railway.
 Shortly after 3:So in the morn ing of the fourth day. the tele- phone awakened Dawson. An Eastern Air Command officer in- formed him crisply that the weather was clearing and plane would be ready to take of at dawn.
 By noon Dawson was interview ing the veteran captain in com s1nand of the St. Johns port.
 The officers face was grim The Fort Glengarry was tor pedoed of Cape Race, Newfound- lAnu, two nlgntS ago! Dawson grasped the arms of his chair, his knuckles showing white.
 Are there any survivors re- ported?" His voice sounded strange ' to his own ears.
 "YeS, but not many. There was only one woman, in fact = ma jor's wife en route to join her husband here"
 A numbing sensation of tragedy enveloped Dawson as he rose, with mubbled word of thanks, and left the office. Life has a strange way of intervening hu- man hearts, he thought, as he made his way along the street.
 If only he had revealed his { Identity sooner, Carole Fiske would not have continued to Newfoundland on her pathetic search for Darwin Lemoy and her z brother. It was useless for Daw- son to argue that Carole's actions had left him no other choice than to regard her as any enemy agent. EQmehow he should have gleaned some inkling of the facts before Rnul Dexel, in his confession, had disclosed that 4Bernard Skrol- really Bernard Fiske was Car qIe's brother and the Dexels were her half-brothers.
 
 The mother was German and had married twice. Her first husband, father of the Dexels. had died short 1f after coming to the United States from Germany. Her second husband, z5ske, was of German American Sock.

 MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND BYA w. oBRlEN
BY A. w. O'BRIEN

Fiske was cultivating the friend ship of a Ferry Command official in an important post. When ap- preached by Darwin, Fiske boldly admitted he was after some tech- nical data that the official had Furthermore he told Darwin to keep out of the scheme" unless he wanted to get involved more than he already was.
 Fiske told all this to Paul Dexel upon the later's arrival. That night Dexel trailed the Ferry Command official and Fiske to the speakeasy and was amazed to see Darwin Lemoy slip in after the pair. Obviously Lemoy was shadowing them without seeing Dexel on the same mission.
 In his confession Dexel stated that Darwin could not have been more than halfway up the stairs when a shot sounded from a sec ond floor room. A moment later he saw two figures - whom he identified as Darwin and Fiske = struggling against the drawn shade. Another shot was heard and the shorter man, Fiske dropped.
 The rest Dawson knew already. Darwkin had run from the speak easy into the arms of a constable On him was found the gun that had killed the two, and the officials wallet. Tn face of other disclosures 1t was evident to Dawson that Darwin had intended returning the plans to the Ferry Command, and that he pocketed the gun which Dexel had given Fiske to clear Carole's brother of murder suicide stigma.
 In view of all this there was only one course for Darwin Le- moy to follow on being captured absolute silence. Otherwise the whole story would come out, in- cluding his own association with the ring. And Carole would be involved.
 Back in Chicago, consternation had followed the discovery that the highly secret filing cabinet had been tempered with. A fin- gerprint was found, and 1t was decided to investigate the spy ring personnel thoroughly to find its owner.
 Dexel was ordered to secure a set of Lernoy's prints, but his only opportunity came after the hanging, when the body went to the vault. He had to work fast, and he found it impossible to un- bend the fingers and wor in the cramped, ghostly quarters. So he hacked of the hand. But, as Daw- son had deduced, Dexel had been forced to hurry of when the in vestigator left St. Johns suddenly. Dawson was of major interest to the spy ring after the hours he'd knent in the death cell.

tested to them about their con- tinuing Bund activities. When her brother Bernard enlisted and went to Newfoundland her letters tc him were returned, and she sus- pected he had enlisted under a false name. That was the reason she had not been notified of his death.
 The Dexels were certain she would not betray them to the authorities for two reasons. One was that she would incriminate her brother. But a still better reason was Darwin Lemoy.
 She had met Darwin while he was still a college student in Chi cago. There were Advanced Thinker groups formed in college circles as a part of Nazi strategy and Darwin had been cnticed into attending the one organized by the Dexels.
 Darwin and Carole Fiske grew friendly. In those careless days of peace his Bund- inspired, pro- Nazi views didn't affect their re- lationship. When Darwin went abroad to play hockey for the Czechoslovakian team in 1885, let ters to influential persons had re- suited in an invitation for him to enjoy carefully directed tour of Germany at the expense of the Reich. He returned to the United States a profound admirer of the Hitler regime.
 However, the invasion of oP- land and the temporary iaison of Germany and Russia had a shattering effect on Darwin,s be- liefs. This became more notice abel as America drifted steadily toward the brink of war. His change of heart became known to the Dexels and many stormy scenes developed when Darwin asserted their first duty was to America.
 As the lend-lease program set bombers flowing in increasing number to Britain, a secret Nazi- controlled system was devised to secure all possible data on planes and weather through chain of reporting posts. Darwin was in on the preliminary planning, but later rebelled.
 Carole Fiske had appealed to Darwin to save her brother. from being drawn deeper into the spy ring. The Dexels knew this, Paul revealed. and shadowed her to an airport where she was seen bidding farewell to Darwin.
 They then lost track of him until coded cable from Private Bernard Fiske, alias Skrol, told Darwin was in St. Johns and had already been talking to him along lines definitely opposed to their work"
