ding. Mr.. Dale chose to bid one
no-trump instead of two clubs.
He had well above a minimum

important to let his partner

game. OF course, after Mr..
Champions Jump rebid in
spades, the raise to four in that
SulC was auCOmaClC.
Mr.. Abel opened the deuce Of
hearts, an obvious singleton.
The queen was played from
dummy and Mrs. Keen won with
the ace. She knew she could
get another trick for her side
by returning a heart at once.
But after Mr.. Abel ruffed. what
could he return?
Surely, Mr.. Champion had
either ace or king of diamonds
for his Jump bid. If he had the
ace, it was very possible that
the contract could not be beaten.
But if he had the king. there
was a chance. So at trick two
Mrs. Keen led the queen of
diamonds.
If Mr.. Champion had covered
this, Mr.. Abel could have won
with the ace and returned a
diamond to his partners jack.
The ensuing heart return and
ruff would have completed
the set.
Mr.. Champion foresaw this
series of plays and, to give Mrs.
Keen a chance to go wrong, he
ducked the queen of diamonds
lead. If Mrs. Keen led another
diamond, iMr. Abel would win
and then there would be no way
to get to Mrs. Keen's hand again
for a heart lead.
However, Mrs. Keen was equal
to the occasion. After winning
with the queen of diamonds, she
correctly shifted back to the
heart suit. Mr.. Abel ruffed and
laid down the ace of diamonds
for his sides fourth trick.

Famous Fables
By (. (. Edgar

WINNING HAND-Wilson
Miner, author and wit, was
also an accomplished card
shark. Rare indeed was the
player who could hold his
own with him in a poker
game.
One night, in an Alaska
saloon, Miner suggested a
game to an innocent looking
stranger who was flashing a
roll of bills. Miner let the
other win at first. Gradually
the stakes became higher and
higher. Finally, Miner set
the stranger up for the kill.
After a furry of raising
and re-raising. there was
$4,000 in the pot. Miner
calmly laid down four kings
and reached for the money.
The other just as calmly laid
down four aces. Miner
pushed the money back.
"The pots yours, stranger"
he said. Nov tell me-" he
added, as one craftsman to
another. what did you do
with the four queens I dealt
you?"
