ing that they had compelled their
partner to do all he had done up
to that stage. But not this astute
bidder.
East reckoned that with an ut
terly worthless hand, and not even
any useful distributional arrange.
ment such as short and long suits
intermixed, West could have
passed the 4-Diamonds. But, more
important, he made differences
based on the passes of the oppo-
nents. He reckOned that North
would not have passed the original
1-Spade with anything Of value.
and South's passes of both the
double and the 4-Diamonds added
to the chance that South's hand
was a minimum and West had q
few useful cards.
West was dead right in taking
the 5-Hearts invitation to small
slam. His diamond Q was an inn
portant card, and SO was the X in
his trump suit. OF course he made
his contract, losing only one trick
in spades, discarding i've .osers ON
diamonds.

MS problems on the estancia than
Corinne.
lmpatiently she shrugged aside
these ridiculous little hopes
Strange, the stubborn tenacity of
the heart, throwing itself against
the most impenetrable wall of
logic,
Before her the path wound across
a small bridge spanning a tree
shadowed pool. She stopped at the
center of the bridge and looked
down into the tranquil depths of
the water. 1t was that strange feel
ing of destiny that weakened her.
she thought. That sense of having
found the land that was hers. The
feeling of kinship with these end
less plains had stolen upon her as
insidiously as her love for Brooks
Kimberly.
Perhaps, she told herself, there
WAS some strange enchantment in
this country OF space and spirit and
only they went home because they
had return tickets. Well, Fitz would
come soon. And he would take her
back. And some day Argentina, and
the pampas, and Windemere would
be only names to her again. A smile
OF passing nostalgia, maybe for the
emotions she had left scattered
over the waving sea of the pampas.
In the dark surface of the boo!
she could see the white contours of
her evening dress. And as she
watched it absently Rats voice
sounded at her elbow.
"Watching your reflection ?"
She smiled, but didn't turn as he
leaned over the rustic railing beside
her.
I'm leaving it," she said. ION
dark nights, after I'm gone, it will
rise out Of the pool and walk
through the trees, like Queen
Mary's ghost through the castle. 1t
will listen to the wind-the PAM
pas wind-it will smell all the
smells of the Towering fax fields
and the jasmine and the paraiso
trees. It will listen to the owls and
the chajas. And I shall smile in my
sleep in my pull-down apartment
bed in New York"
She waited for his laugh. When
it didn't come, she turned to look
at him. He was watching her with
a queer look of concentration which
startled her.
"What's the matter, Raft ?"
He smiled then, and said quietly
Nothing. I was just thinking-you
do like it here, don't you, Terry?"
I-guess I love 1t better than

mimosas, elms, English copper
beeches. The night breeze whis-
pered among them, the moonlight
sifted in exquisite patterns along
the path before her.
Terry Arnold, you're silly
fool" she told herself fiercely. This
kind Of incoming was all right for
17-year olds-or 7O-year olds. But
che had no time for romancing.
Especially the hopeless sentiments
of the pampas song. 1t was that
song that undermined her. She was
sure of it now. She took deep
breaths and clenched her fists.
Jlme had put it straight enough.
Brooks dldn't-ana Wouldn'. ever
know any woman was alive as long
as he was engaged to Cornne. And
he would not break that engage
ment. Therefore, she was only
harming herself if she made the
mistake of falling in love with him.
She was welcome to stay here
longer, long enough probably to fin
ish her novel. That is what she
should do. But there was no point
in staying on at the estancia if
she didn't keep studying her hero
and heroine. And if she went on
emotional binges like this when she
saw them together, she could GER
tainly not write.
The trick of it was getting back
into balance. She argued with her
self desperately. Even if she could
have taken Brooks away from his
tiancee, she wouldn't want it that
way. She believed in a sort of kis-

happiness on the loss of another
person. And even if there had been
no barrie between them he still
could not have loved her. She had
nothing to bring him. No heritage

Terry laughed Help WHAT" As
she looked at him dWarfing the lit
tie bridge, she remembered that
flrst morning in her hotel room in
Buenos Aires, when she had opened
her door to see him lounging there,
SO tall, so carefree. She had
thought, Hes too handsome for
any good" He was the same to-
night, in his eaucho costume. In his
black chiripas, poncho and large
hat, with silver spurs on his boots
and silver ornamcnted belt, he was
blond, a faultless giant.
He took her hand in his and
feXed her fingers thoughtfully
Help me-" he grinned.
Terry waited, finally demanded
with a touch of impatience, Help

You must admit I've changed since

Marry you" Until he had said
the words, Terry couldn't believe
he was actually working up to

free. giddy nature, he was more
conservative about some formali-
ties, more conscious of family and
class than Brooks. AS he went on,
honestly, quietly, telling her she
needn't give her answer now but to
consider it, her amazement contin-
ued. Then he left her, kissing her
hand gently, and going back
through the path toward the house,
a slim, arrogant shadow.
Terry watched until he was out

breath she found caught in her
throat. She heard herself laughing.

THEY TELL THE STORY

EVEN IF your partner has said
not a word to you about holding
any strength, and the only bids
out of hin we're forced by your
informative double and an ensuing
jump by you on your next turn. he
still may have bit of strength.
You can deduce the likelihood of
it sometimes from what the oppo-
nents do. If both of them pass at
every opportunity after the origi-
nal bid by one of them, you can
feel pretty sure your partner has
some high cards-not many, but
enough perhaps to put you in the
slam zone, close enough to try an
invitation. The opponents have
told you the story which he wasn't
able to tell.
