Belinda was sure the closed room
held the secret which would explain
why the giants were now so kind.
But when the children entered
the room they found it was COM
pletely bare. There were no chairs,
table, rugs. or shelves. There was
not even a picture on the wall!
Here is something" said Tom
my suddenly. rs it a picture or
a mirror or what?"
1T was a strange milky glass
hanging by the window. 1t was
cracked and bumpy and it must
have been a mirror because it
couldn't possibly have been a
Ipicture.
Belinda tried to reach the glass
with her fingers but it hung far
above her. She jumped at it with
outstretched hands but it was no
use. Finally she boosted Tommy
to her shoulders. He was just able
to lift the glass from the wall.
The two children gazed at the
strange mirror in puzzled silence.
Finally Belinda said, IT must
have been wrong There's nothing
mysterious or secret here"

No sooner had she tucked it under
her sweater than the giant entered.
He seemed troubled and cross. He
looked vaguely about the room.
Then he turned to the children.
Nothing here to amuse you" he
said. Come back to the fire.
He led them out. He no longer
seemed kind and tender. The chill
dren were frightened.
Back in the large room they
noticed strange thing. The giants
were restless. Each one left the
room. AS each returned he was
frowning and disturbed.
IF I did not know how good
hearted you have become I would
almost be afraid of you," said
Belinda.
The giants muttered among them
selves and Walter said, TT gets

She tried to move to the front door
but she faced fearful sight.
They Fled Upstairs.
The giants were now, in truth,
Horrible Hoblins. They leaped
around the children. They pushed
and tripped them. They backed
them against the staircase. There
was no where to go except up.
Tommy and Belinda fled up the
stairs. They ran down twisting
corridors and through room after

pounded after them but their great
size slowed them.

Mr.. Champion opened the king

Then Mr.. Muzzy played the king

and finessed dummy's jack.

"Just throw the play over here,
partner" said Mr.. Muzzy proudly,
"And, incidentally, it's lucky we
stayed out of a SIAM"
Mr.. Champion snorted at this.
He had been complaining all
through the hand. First, he CON-
planned that Mr.. MuzZy's Jump to-
four spades was necessary in view
of the opening two bid.
Later, when he saw the dummy,
he complained that Mr.. Dale should
have taken some forward action
toward a slam. And at the end
he connlained that Mr.. Muzzy
should have made six-odd by al
squeeze in three SUITS.
He Was Offended.
The fact that Mr.. Muzzy had
failed to execute this rare andI
beautiful play offended his artis-
tic sensibilitieS
The play would have gone as
follows. After trumping the second
club lead, cash the ace and king
of diamonds and ruff a diamond.
Then all the spades, after which
everybody would have had three
cards left.
To prevent dumn1y's jack of clubs
from becoming winner, Mr.. Cham
pion would have had to discard a
heart.
To top Mr.. Dale's Four of dia-
monds, Mrs. Keen would have had
TO discard two hearts. So the king
of hearts would have won the 18th
trick and the ace and jack Of hearts
the last two.
But Mr.. Dale was not complain
ing. Sensibly enough, he prefers to
win points on his score, rather than
arguments.
