Uncle Ruy's Corner

There were only a few Christians
in Pompeii when that city met its
doom. Most of the people prayed to
Roman gods, and we may imagine
them exclaiming, "Oh, Jupiter,
spare us! Put aside your anger!"
Some of the women may have cried
out to Juno, the goddess who was
supposed to guard the home.
We say that this event took place
Gin the year 49," but it would be
wrong to suppose that the Romans
spoke about such q year. The
Romans had their own way Of
counting time. If one Of them
could come back today, he might
say:
THAT happened at the opening
of the reign of the Emperor Titus"
Titus was a good man, and I am
counting on telling his life story
at an early date. For the present,
let me only remark that he helped
the victims who lost their homes
when Vesuvius exploded.
About 1900 men, women and
children died in their homes, or
while they were trampling over the

CHAPTER III.

Down and down went Prince
Jonathan into the heaving waters
OF the ocean. He fought his way
to the surface and gasped for air.
A: laundering wave crashed over
him and sent him down again.
Help! Help!" he cried when he
came up.
But there was none to hear
him. He had been carried far
away from the foundering ship.
He choked as the angry waters
swept him under.
"I am done for!" he thought.
But this time as he rose to the
surface his head struck something
hard. 1t was a small empty barrel
which had. like himself, been torn
from the ship. Eagerly the Prince
threw his arms around the barrel
and clung to it for his life.
Now he was no longer sucked
down into the ocean. He rode the
tops Of the waves. AS long as he
had the barrel he was safe.
So he rode until the storm
finally ended. Now the Prince
eagerly scanned the sea for his
ship. It was nowhere to be seen.
But, there was land! His spirits
rose as he padded his barrel to-
ward the speck of an island that
lay in the middle of the big ocean.
At last his feet touched bottom.
He staggered out of the ocean and
fell exhausted on the beach.
Almost at once he fell asleep.
The sun came from behind the
clouds and warmed him. When he
woke up he jumped at once to his
feet. II have been wasting time!"
he scolded himself. He was filled
with anxiety when he thought Of
his father and the people of Fair
vania who would fall into Lubi's
hands on Christmas eve.
II must get to Santa Land" he
swore. II will find a way"
He Explored the Island.
He set off to explore the island.
He left the beach and pushed his
way through a woods. Nowhere
did he see sign that any other
being was on the island. He came
at last to hill.
Perhaps people live on the
other side" he thought happily.
He climbed Wearily up the steep

all. It was a pirate ship flying the
skull and crossbones at her mast.
"All the same," thought the
Prince. perhaps they will help
me-"
The leader of the pirates stepped
forward. He was a great big fell
low with a nose 10 inches long
and red hair with bangs that al
most covered his eyes and curls
that fell to his knees.
Who might you be?" thun-
dered this awful thing.
The Prince swallowed and
smiled a trembling smile. II am
Prince Jonathan from the King
dom of Fairvania." he said. II was
on my way to see Santa Claus
when I was lost from my ship in
the storm"
"A prince!" exclaimed the
pirate with delight.
will you help me?" cried the
boy.
"A prince!" murmured the
pirate again. 'Mmmm-a prince!"
Suddenly he raised his voice to
a shout. Mem Grab the Prince
Well hold him for ransom!"

sides. But when he reached the
top and looked down there was
still no house. no person to be
seen. But as he raised his head he
saw something that caused him to
shout with joy.
A ship lay anchored off the
shore!
ITS my ship!" cried Prince
Jonathan. 1.-THE men are ashore
looking for mel"
He tore down the side of the
hill. He tripped over hidden vines,
smashed into trees, scratched his
face. He hardly noticed.
He reached the bottom Of the
hill. thrashed through the woods
and burst onto the beach. He
shouted, Here I am! Here I am!'
He Stared In Surprise.
A group of men standing on the
beach stared in astonishment at
the shouting Prince. And the
Prince suddenly stopped and
stared in surprise at them.
They were not sailors from his
majesty's navy. They were pirates

Contract Bridge

Does it seem to you that your

good results from the worst bids
and plays? Try not to let it dis
courage you. Bridge is not an exact
science in the sense that the best
play always wins. But the best play
wins much more often than it

In today's deal Mr.. Champion
ran into a heart-breaking piece OF
bad luck when he found al of the
outstanding trumps in one oppo-
nent's hand. A lesser player might
have given up hope at this point,
but Mr.. Champion found way to-
make his contract in spite of the
bad break.
Mr.. Abel won the first trick with
the king of spades. He continued
with the queen of spades and Mr..
Champion ruffed. The queen of
diamonds was led and finessed.
Miss Brash showed out, discarding
q spade.
With a sure loser in both spades
and hearts. it was clear that Mr..
Abel must not be permitted to win
a trick in the diamond suit. But,
since he held three guards for his
king, how was that to be avoided?
Mr.. Champion realized it could
be done If the distribution in the
other suits was just right or, in
other words, if Mr.. Abel could not
ruff in permaturely.
After winning with the queen of
diamonds he led a small diamond
and flnessed dummy's eight spot
Next he led dummy's last spade and
ruffed it. He then cashed three
club tricks and followed with the
ace, king and a third round of
hearts. Miss Brash won the third
heart. at which time everybody was
down to two cards. Mr.. Champion
had the ten and jack of diamonds,
Mr.. Abel had king-seven in dia-
mondS and dummy the lone ace
Of diamonds and the good eight of
hearts.
At the twelfth trick Miss Brash
returned a spade and Mr.. Cham
pion ruffed with the ten of trumps
There was nothing Mr. Abel could
do about it. If he played his low
trump the heart would be discarded
from the board. If he ruffed with
the king, dummy would overruff
and Mr.. Champions jack would
win the last trick.
