They looked dark now against the pale lace. “My—little -- girl.” Mrs. Dixon said gently. “Cherry—come here beside me " The girl knelt at the side of the bed. “What is it, Mother?” she asked “I'll do anything—” The Kirk woman smiled. She raised one slim hand to touch the girl's hair. “Cherry,” she went on slowly, “I'm so glad you've come back. You mustn’t—misjudge your father, dear. I want to knowyou're going to be—friends.” "Os course I don't misjudge him. Mother, f know how he fepls. But everything’s going to be all right now. He said so!"

CONTRACT ffll !’' IM'fkMMMW |T fee

BY W. F. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WITHOUT a doubt, the most interesting hands of a tournament are those which it is most difficult to describe. Tournament bridge is not always perfect, by any means, and the results of some hands are very interesting. Take, for Instance, the following hand in which Paul BenhofT of Cleveland, who, with his partner, recently won the Ohio State auction pair championship, put one of his opponents to sleep with two aces:

AlO-6-5-4-3 V 9-8 ♦ K-Q-J-10-2 *9 *K-Q- p^ORTHI^J’ 9-2 S > V 6-3-2 tU (h 7-4 ♦ 8-6- £ H ♦ A-7-3 5-4 Dealer 48-7-A Q-4 | SOUTH | 6-5 A A-8-7 VK-Q-5 ♦ 9 A A-K-J-10-3-2 2#

The Ridding Thp bidding as it actually occurred at the table was South one club. BenhofT was sitting in the North and bid onp diamond. South responded three clubs. BenhofT then bid three spades, and to his surprise South carried it to four spades. The Play We easily can see that if East crashes his two aces, that West is bound to make the king and queen of spades and the contract will be defeated one trick. You can imagine the interest created in this han after the smoke had clearecCit was discovered that BenhofT had made live odd at

sleep. She had been clinging to Cherry's hand but now the fingers loosened. The rise and fall of her breathing came regularly. Cherry knelt there for a long while. Mrs. Dixon slept ax peacefully as a child. Presently the nurse put a hand on the girl's arm and motioned for her to rise. Cherry realized for the first time that she was shivering. The night air had grown colder and her dressing gown had slipped down from her shoulders. She went down the corridor to her own room and got into bed. Within five minutes she was asleep. Despite Dr. Knowles’ cheerful predictions, three days passed before he gave the definite word that Mrs. Dixon had passed the crisis in her illness. Little by little her strength returned. There were times during those three days when the doctor’s calls stretched out over several hours. There were times of anxiety for every one in the household. Walter Dixon did not go to his office. He remained in his own room or downstairs in the study. Cherry and her father met for meals that were almost silent, the food set before them and taken away scarcely tasted. Father and daughter waited nervously outside the door of the upstairs bedroom for the brief bulletins the nurse could bring. ana EACH day Cherry telephoned to Dan. She stayed on at her parents’ home, making one hasty trip to the apartment for clothing. Pinky, thp kitten, had been quartered upstairs with Dixie Shannon. The world seemed to have stopped in its regular orbit. Everything centered about the battle being waged in that, upstairs bedroom. Then on the morning of the fourth day Dr. Knowles greeted the father and daughter with a cheerful smile. “If this improvement continues,” he announced, “Mrs. Dixon

spades, and this is the way that the hand was played: East, instead of opening either one of his aces, led the eight of clubs, which was won in dummy with the ace. The king of clubs was returned and BenhofT discarded one of his hearts. He then continued with the jack of clubs from dummy. West made a nice play in refusing to trump—he discarded a heart and BenhofT discarded his other heart. The next play was the deuce of clubs from dummy and again West discarded a heart, and BenhofT trumped with the three of spades. He next led the deuce of diamonds. East should make sure of a diamond trick and go in with his ace, but he thought that certainly his partner could beat the nine spot, so he played a small diamond and dummy's nine held the trick. The ace of spades then was led from dummy and when East's jack dropped, BenhofT properly read that West held the missing spades, as he had refused to ruff the clubs. BenhofT then led the king of hearts from dummy and trumped with the five of spades. He returned the king of diamonds, which East was forced to cover with the ace. and BenhofT ruffed in dummy with the seven of spades. He then led the ten of clubs from dummy—again West refused to trump and discarded a diamond, as did BenhofT also. His next play was the three of clubs from dummy—West again refused to trump, discarding his last diamond, and BenhofT discarded the jack of diamonds and then led the queen of hearts. BenhofT now held the ten and one spade and the queen of diamonds. West held the king, queen and nine of spades. If West trumped with the nine BenhofT would make his ten of spades, while if West trumped with the queen of spades BenhofT would discard his queen of diamonds and was bound to win his ten of spades. All that he last w f as the king and queen of spades.

, is going to be herself in a week or 1 two. | “Remarkable how shp's rallied in ! the last twenty-four hours. It’s remarkable! Os course, there’s a long road ahead to health, but I'm confident she'll make it. I've increased i her diet ” I He went on in a maze of professional terms Cherry's heart was too full to listen. She spent several hours with her mother that afternoon. Mr. Dixon paid * brief call at his office. In the evennig all three sat together for almost an hour before it was time for Mrs. Dixons early bedtime. Another day and another passed. Mrs. Dixon was able to sit propped up with pillows while Cherry read to her. A touch of color appeared in the pale cheeks. Dr. Knowles promised that if she continued to recuperate at the present rate she might get out of bed and sit in a chair for a few minutes on Sunday. Eight days had passed since Cherry had seen her husband. She felt it was time for her to return to the apartment, yet she hesitated to suggest it. She still felt the sense of guilt that her departure had caused her mother's breakdown. It was Mrs. Dixon herself who solved the problem. Cherry was sitting with her, relieving the day nurse who had gone out for fresh air. “Cherry,” her mother said thoughtfully, “isn't it time you w'ere going home?” “Why, mother ?” “Your father and I were talking about it' last night,” Mrs. Dixon went on. We’ve been glad to have you here, of course. It's meant ’everything to me. ' You see I felt Id last my daughter and I knew that underneath Walter's bitterness he w'as suffering Just as I was. Thus illness —well, I don't really mind it since it’s brought you back to us.” “I never should have gone away!” Cherry said fervently. “It was wrong of me, but, oh, mother, I’ve paid for it!” ‘But you love your husband, don’t you?” “Os course I do. But I should have made father understand. I shouldn’t have last my temper—” “We can't undo the past,” Mrs. Dixon said quietly. “It's the future we must think about. Your father and I agree that if you love this young man you should go back to your home. That's your duty now, Cherry.” “And I can come to see you? And you’ll come to see me?” “I hope you’ll come. Yes, when I’m able I’ll come to see you. I’m anxious to know your Dan—” a a a /CHERRY departed that afternoon. She telephoned Dan and agreed to meet him at 5:30. Martin drove her ddwn town in the big car. It was arranged that he was to call for Cherry each afternoon and take her to her parents’ home for an hour or two. Cherry leaned back against the thick upholstery and smiled as the limeousine rolled along. She was tired, yet very happy. The past week had been a tremendous strain but out of so much suffering the world seemed to be righting itself. Her mother was on the road to recovery. Her father for the first time seemed to have lost his aloof, intimidating posp. Walter Dixon had found something he could not bulldoze and terrify—life. Both of hpr parents at last were reconciled to her marriage. “Poor Dan!” the girl thought. “I wonder how he’s been managing about meals and clean shirts and if he’s been at work on time. The apartment must be a sight!” A glow of warm tenderness, of eagerness enveloped her. For days Cherry’s thoughts had been selfless, concerned only with others. She

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN .

Mk

After withdrawing his arrows from the slain buck and returning them to his quiwer, Tarzan signed to the pygmy leader that he would borrow his rapier. For a moment the man hesitated and all his fellows watched him intently. Then he drew his sword and passed- it hilt foremost to the ape-man. Tarzan cut off a hind quarter of the meat, sliced off what he wanted and fell to devouring it hungrily. The little men viewed his act with surprise not unrmxeti with horror, and when the ape-man offered them some of the flesh they refused it an drew away.

felt suddenly a great need for Dan's strength and love. It was the same road over which she had traveled a week before when Martin's driving had seemed so slow. Now. for exactly opposite reasons, the car seemed to be lagging. Cherry snapped open hpr purse and drew out a vanity case. She suiweved herself in the mirror, added another touch of lipstick and then rubbed away most of it. She was wishing that she had started earlier and had time to stop at Louise's shop for a facial treatment. Cherry never had had such a treatment, but Dixie Shannon

Tarzan guessed the Ant Men had a strong aversion to raw meat. Later he was to learn that thein revulsion was due to the fact that in all their experience the only creatures they had encountered that devoured raw meat, devoured the pygmies as well. Therefore when they saw this mighty giant eating the flesh of his kill they naturally concluded that should he become sufficiently hungry he would not hesitate to eat them. Wrapping some of the meat of the antelope in its own skin, Tarzan it to his back and the party resumed £ its journey.

had assured her they were marvelous for removing tired lines. Suddenly Cherry smiled again. Facial treatments— the idea! She must remember that she was a poor man's wife now. No more breakfasts served to her in bed No more turning to Sarah or Martha for everything she wanted done. “And I'm glad of it!” Cherry told herself earnestly. "It's going to be good to be home. Oh, it’s going to be wonderful!" She thought that she meant it. a a a MARTIN let her out of the car before the library steps. It

was the place where Cherry and Dan had met so often in the days when they were living at the hotel. The chauffeur closed the door after her. touched his cap and drove away. Dan was nowhere in sight, but Cherry was not disturbed. She had learned to expect him to be late. A boy in knee trousers was selling flowers from a basket farther down the street. Cherry strolled toward him. selected a rose to fasten to her blouse and gave him a quarter for it. “Here's your change, lady.” the boy began as Cherry moved away.

After a while Tarzan noticed that the warriors now seemed troubled. They conversed in low tones, casting many backward glances in his direction. They were not afraid for themselves. for these warriors scarcely knew the meaning of fear. What bothered them was the wisdom of leading among their own people such a huge devourer of raw flesh w'ho at a single quick meal had eaten the equivalent of one of their own grown men. It was late afternoon when Tarzan saw in the far distance .something resembling a group of domeshaped hills. >

She smiled, told him to keep the coin. Office workers, late at their pasts, were hurrying along the streets. Many of the girls were dressed in linens and thin cottons. “Why. it’s summer!" Cherrv thought, m surprise Sure enough iit must be. Cherrv- had not the slighest idea what the day of the month was. To satisfy herself, she bought a newspaper, saw that it was the 20th. The 20th of June. The headlines were not interesting. A clash over local politics. Smugglers arrested in San Faneisco.

As they approached these, the ape-man saw a body of mounted warriors galloping to meet them. From his greater height he could see these long before his little companions could. Realizing this, Tarzan stooped ana before the pvgmy officer could guess his intentions, the ape-man had gathered both antelope and rider gently in his powerful hand* and lifted them high above the ground. For an instant consternation held the remaining warriors Swords flashed and a warning cry arose and even the ,lucky pygmy in Tarzan's grasp drew his diminutive weapon.
