FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

VIGIL: While on a train bound
for California. Robert Benchley
stepped into the observation car.
AS he took his seat. he noticed
that the man opposite was read
ing the latest book by that hu-
morous author r. Benchley.
Benchley settled back and
waited expectantly for the laughs.
They did not materialize, how
ever. The man read one page
after another, without betraying
q single hint of amusement.
Confidence shaken. Benchley
sank into his seat and glared at
the man. Once or twice the other
looked as If he were about to
smile. and Benchley's eyes lit up
hopefully, but the man changed
his mind and his expression be-
came sterner than ever.
The humorist waited until the
final page had been perused and
the book snapped shut. Then, de-
flying his better Judgment, he
asked:
"How did you like it?"
The man took a cigar from his
pocket and bit of the end.
Stranger" he said enthusiast
tically, "this is the funniest book
I ever read"
With a sigh of relief, Benchley
fell back in his seat and mopped
his brow.

the sound Of "kw." In English
I"qu" also has the sound of XIV"
except in some words of French
origin. such as antique, unique.
70" without ~" is used in Eng
fish only in spelling such foreign
names as Iraq, Qattara, Qena.
Hence, in English, @" without

For detailed explanation. see

in it?-J. T.

1t occurs in the situation where
you, as a defender. have a pretty
good trump holding. including
one sure winner in the trump
suit. You have side suit with
which you can force declarer.
The point is to take your trump
trick at a time when dummy is
out of trumps because If your
forcing" suit can be ruffed on
the board obviously that does not
reduce declarer's own trump
holding and thus gains no ad-
vantage.
Look how Mr.. Muzzy threw
away a golden opportunity in
this deal. He opened the king
of hearts and Mr.. Dale won with
the ace. The king Of trumps
was led and Mr.. Muzzy stepped
right in with the ace. He cashed|
the queen Of hearts. taking the
last one of the board, and
looked around for new worlds
to conquer.
Finally he switched to the
eight Of diamonds. Mr.. Cham
pion won with the ace and re-
turned a diamond. Mr.. Dale
then claimed the balance of the
tricks and his contract.
What's your hurry about tax
ing the ace of trumps?" roared
Mr.. Champion. Just take the
third round Of trumps and lead
the queen and another heart.
Dale would have to run in his
own hand. Then. when I was
in with the ace of diamonds,
I'd lead another heart. When
he ruffed that he'd be out OF
trumps and you'd have one left
for the setting trick"
wait a minute" said Mr..
Muzzy desperately. If Dale won
the first two trump tricks he
wouldn't lead a third round.
He'd switch to diamonds right
there"
Mr.. Champion gave him a
whitening look. "All right. he
switches to diamonds. You start
an echo by playing the eight
first. 1 lay of the first diamond,
win the second and lead a third
round which you run with a.
small spade. Your ace of trumps
then is the setting trick"
Mr.. Muzzy could think Of no
argument so he fell back on an
old favorite of his. We'll, you
may be right" he said, but the
play you're suggesting is double
dummy
Mr.. Champion grinned wick
eddy. You certainly are" he
said.
