said, and gained currency toward
the end Of the 18th century and
the beginniny of the 10th cen
fury when the early abolitionists
forced holders of pro-slavery
sentiment to try to justify their
point Of view. The opponents of
slavery sought justification in
the fallacious belief that slaves
were sub-human and inferior to
other groups. But, science has
shown that all ethnic groups de-
rive from a common ancestral
stock, that there are no basic BIZ
illogical differences between
them, and no genetic basis for
their cultural and social differ
ences.

Fine Points in Bridqe

that South bid 2-No Trumps on
his second turn instead Of 2
Hearts. In a nutshell, both Souths
considered their holding worth a
borderline opening bid.
Neither West liked the idea OF
leading the only unbid suit,
spades, for obvious reasons.
though even the lead Of any card
of that holding would have beaten
South just as definitely as any
other lead. One West picked the
club 5 as his lead because he felt
his four cards gave him some pro-
lection against the run Of that
suit. The other West picked a dia-
mond because North's bidding
made 1t pretty clear the clubs
were longer
Play proceeded quite naturally
at both tables, with East switch
ing to spades the moment he got
the lead. When a diamond was
led, the contract was set two
tricks, and where a club was, IL
got set a single trick.
But just notice what a differ
ence would have been caused by
an even division Of the six out
standing clubs. II that had pre-
vailed, both declarers would have
made their contracts. And the
chances OF that distribution were
about 40 per cent. chance worth
aiming at when you think Of the
profit II II had worked out.

.C0rDses at Indian Stones
BY Philip WyIie

He's sort Of universal nephew Of
Indian Stones" Ralph talked as if
the act were a sedative for his none
too well-concealed nervousness.
"0h," said Aggie. He couldn't
help feeling a twinge at the phrase,
universal nephew. 1t wasn't
envy, exactly, but he compared his
own life with that of the tall cop,
and it did not seem that providence
had been quite fair. Captain Yves
Wickman could walk into that room
full of fairly rich and reasonably
snooty people without any embar-
rassment. He could grin and chuck
le-and they'd eat out of his hand.
Aggie could walk in-and they'd
turn their faces away to Singer.
Aggie flushed with Illustration at
the thought; he decided he didn't
care much for men of the troopers
general type. Dumb Adonises.
Meanwhile, Yves had pulled out
the piano bench and seated himself
on it. He turned to the manager
and said, Jack, just round up
everybody here, will you? | want
to talk few minutes-and ask some
questions"
Browne went out to the other
rooms. Aggie saw Bill Calder slip
unobtrusively into the billiard room
and he saw the captain observe
that temperance also. Stragglers
arrived from the dining room, the
terrace, and the bar. All the lounge
lights were on, and the glass eyes of
deer, moose and fish CLEANED at the
informal assembly.
"Folks," the trooper began, am
make it as short and easy as / can.
I've been up on the side of Garnet
Knob-and I've had Jim Calder's
body taken away. Our doctor'll look
over the body and there may be an
inquest. Probably will. You're all
thinking one thing-and / know
what it is, of course. There wasn't
much love lost on jim" He glanced
over a row of heads. "Sorry, Bill
Beth-Martha-Mrs. Drayman!-
and you're all wondering if it was
an accident or if somebody did it on
purpose"
He looked around the room. There
was a general murmur. Some peo-
pie were denying any such suspicion
Others admitting it. The trooper
evaluated that set of moods. II think
it was an accident" he finally said.
That brought another assortment Of
private discussions. Here's why.
Jim was a great fellow to stamp
around the woods-even at night
We all know that. There's a good
moon now-late, but good. I've
known him to go to Garnet Knob
for the moonlight-often."
Aggie heard somebody = some
man-say soto voce, with a con-
science like his-who could sleep?"
1t was a thought Aggie himself had
once expressed.
The officers eyes bit into the
crowd, searching alertly but briefly
for the author Of those words. He
went on: "Since you people have
posted this whole reservation and
the game has come back thick, we've
had plenty of trouble with poachers.
Trappers and hunters. Mostly kids

asked the starter in the semi-finals

quest plunged in seconds late.
