CorISTING MADE EASY

BIDDING by the opponents can
furnish a positive guide to the
play OF a hand. both in showing
the location OF certain high cards
and in exposing suit lengths. The
latter factor sometimes enables
you to get an exact count OF the
cards in the hand OF one defender
and by deduction just as accurate
a count Of the holding opposite
him. II Is a case OF continual
counting up to - and then SUBJ
tracing. Thirteen is an unlucky
number in bridge only for those
who will not count that high often
enough.

 John, you're gone now," he related he thought as he wal lowed in the drift before he wormed his way clear.
 When asked what he consider ed the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in Alaska, Fielder quickly replied.
 "The most beautiful scene was mirage. It was a sunset on a trail through a snow-cover- ed pass. I paused and looked a. head. Before me was mag nificent city, with tall and clean buildings, bright lights. it was more beautiful than anything l have ever seen. Ii was a rare reflection of the setting sun on the snow and light clouds"
 As for lawlessness among the gold-seeke1s. John said it has been exaggerated. Punishment was too quick and severe. He mentioned 8 story of 6 cabin on the trail. After each traveller had used the hut for a stopover, he was to replenish the fuel supply for the next camper. One fellow didn't. He stole the fuel and went on with it. He didn't go far when he was caught. He was forced to replace what he had stolen and had to walk into Dawson with sign on his back reading "Theif''. It was a good cure.
 The greatest peace-maker was the spirit of the trail, Trailmates helped each other and saw that mans best friend, the dog, wes cared for too. On the trail tra- yelers seta pace fair to each other They shared and shared alike. They were the men who pioneered the North.

 Now Fielder lives a quiet life, a bachelor, in his apartment that bears his name in Kodiak.
 He is rarely seen without his favorite pipe. His square-iawed face is still tanned from the years spent in the winds of the North.
 q am the happiest man in the
 world" he remarked. "I have my own warm room, now, where
 l can go to cook, sleep or read at any time."
 That is a different story than an experience he had in 1914.
 For eleven days he and several other prospectors lived in holes dug on the face of Rhon glacier while a blizzard howled over head.
 When the wind first lashed at them they attempted to build a sort of lean-to to give shelter to their pack horses. But the wind scattered the poles. They had to dig in for the protec ion of the horses and themselves. With what little wood they had for fuel, they cooked rice. The gale was still flashing them when they made a "go-devil'', crude sled for swifter descent They loaded on their supplies and stumbled off the glacier into the flat below, free of the blizzard.
 Although he has banned streams in Central as well as Eastern Alaska and Northwest ern Canada, most of Felder's prospecting was done in tbe .Klondike. He sifted pay dirt in the Forty Mile River stampede and the Sixty-Mile River stam- pede, both just west of Dawson.
 In the Sixty-Mile stampede, the rush was so heavy that he saw as many as p prospectors damned into one bunk room built for only couple. Any sort of quarters would do. When the ice-choked river overflowed, gold searchers paid the price with frozen feet
 One of his severest hikes was one begun from Curry, located between Anchorage and Fair banks. At that time Curry was known as Deadhorse because a I prospector' horse died beneath him there. Snow was beginning | to fall when he struck north to- ward Nenana. He slept at day, | because 1t was warmer, and ra- veled at night. At Oregon Gulch, the snow was ankle deep.
