He tells her If she will agree that their marriage shall He permanent he will "do the right thing by Barry.” Townsend, who has been ill, dies suddenly on Christmas night NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE THREE days later Mona faced Mr. Garretson in the Townsend library, that room she loved so deeply. The sun, pouring in through the Btained glass windows, touched the slender, black-garbed figure. Mona's hands, restless and nervous, clutched a fine linen handkerchief spasmodically. The funeral for John Barnard Townsend was over. Rich and poor alike had crowded into the church to pay their last respects. Elizabeth was there with her husband and the eldest of the children. Mrs. Faxon, Mr. Garretson, Mr. Amesbury and Mr. Lawton from the office. Mona's family. In a side pew were the servants, looking griefstricken. John Townsend had been R good man, a good employer. He had contributed to a dozen different charities, sponsored a dozen movements for the good of mankind. But, with all his generosity, he had ignored the rights of his nephew. Mona knew that he had meant to set all that straight. He had offered to do so to please her. but she ha If-suspected this grudging assent was a cloak to hide gentleness he did not like to show. Now it was too late! “It seems horrible to talk about money now,” Mona said to the lawyer, "but you must believe me, Mr. Garretson. • “My husband meant to leave that money to Barry. He told me so. It was his own sugestion. We were both to think things over—” She flushed a trifle, then went on. "The truth of the matter is, my husband agreed that if I would for-

THE mild little butcher in the small Lancashire town always had fancied himself as a poet; so, when he got a legacy that freed him from his job, he packed up, went to London and set out to cut a figure in the literary world. Unfortunately, nothing went right. The literary people he met made a joke of him. His poems failed to go over. He finally did get a post as editor of an arty sort of magazine, but the magazine was a flop, public acclaim was not forthcoming, and he finally wound up by getting desperately angry. And when he got angry, he remembered that he had brought two fine butcher knives to London; so he got them out and began sauntering about the streets at night, sticking them into people. . . . This, very briefly, is an outline of “Man Made Angry,” by Hugh Brooke. It is one of the neatest horror stories of the year. Mr. Brooke builds up to his climax with a sure hand. You fairly ran feel the development of his inoffensive butcher-poet into a homicidal maniac, and when the man finally runs amuck and commits a series of eerie, meaningless murders the thrills prance up and down your spine at a great rate. “Man Made Angry” is published by Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, Inc, and sells for $2.

get the divorce arrangement he would dc the right thing by Barry.” The lawyer nodded. He was thinking he never had seen anyone look so pitiably young, so tragic and desperate. “Did he explain to you what the right thing might be?” “The right thing?” Mona stared at the man who, hands clasped behind him, was pacing the floor, pausing now and then to straighten the rug with a well-groomed foot. "Yes, the right thing.” “Why, I don't know. Sign papers, I suppose, so that Barry can have his money.” Mr. Garretson looked at her strangely. “What money. Mona?” “Why, his own money!” The man's eyes narrowed. “You mean you believe that Towny was keeping young Barry's own money from him?” His tone was incredulous. Neither observed that he had relapsed into the friendly diminutive by which John Townsend was known among his closest friends. But its use meant one thing. Mr. Garretson was on the defensive.

MONA faltered. “Something like that. It was talked of at the office, you know'. ' Barry used to come there to get money. I knew—everybody knew—that he came north to arrange for money to use in buying mining machinery.” For a worked-out old diamond mine,” Mr. Garretson expostulated. Mona shook her head. “Not worked-out at all. The Empress came from that mine.” “The Empress?” Mr. Garretson gazed a her without understanding. “The huge diamond. John bought it for me.” At this Mr. Garretson laughed abruptly. “I remember,” he nodded. But let me tell you about Barry’s money, as you term it. Under the terms of his father’s will, Barry’s money, what there was of it, was placed in trust. "He can touch it only when ne is 30. Until that time it remains with his uncle. Or with us. When Barry Townsend came to the office he was merely asking for an advance on what we considered a fair allowance, particularly in view of the fact that he w'as acting against his uncle's wishes and his own father’s wishes by continuing his residence in South America.” There was a pause. “But Barry's father worked the mine ” “Granted. But that was different. He amused himself with the mine as. well, let us say, an avocation. He had other more profitable interests. "He would have been very much opposed to Barry's sinking all his fortune in that mine, as he seems bent upon doing.” Mona considered. “Won’t you explain to me then just what John could have done to help Barry?” For answer the lawyer motioned Mona to a chair and sank into the one by the fire. “Almost anything. Townsend was a very rich man. Few people guessed exactly how rich. He could have signed over half of his fortune or all of it to Barry. “But as for Barry’s own money, which will be his when he is 30, your husband had no more power over that than I have at this moment. In fact, precisely the same power. “I can not allow Barry, by law, to touch it. He has his allowance. He always has had his allowance, and that is that!” 000 MONA was so stunned that she could not speak for a moment. “But, John —John agreed! What did he mean to do when he said he would do the right thing by Barry?” “That is what I would like to impress upon you. John Townsend agreed, on your behalf,, to make Barry Townsend partial heir to his own fortune. This was, of course, not, Barry’s own at all. “He was going to settle $10,000,000 on Barry bacause he thought it would please you. But this was his own money—not Barry’s. Rather more than right by Bairy, don’t you think?” Mona's anxious face cleared happily. “Then everything is all right?” she asked.

“Townsend drew the will. Or, rather, I drew it.” “He expected me to agree!.. Mona exclaimed. “He expected nothing of you except that you should be happy. He ordered anew will draw simply to please you. If you preferred to be poorer by $10,000,000 after his death, he was agreeable.” Mona spread her Hands and laughed. “I who never had $lO before that I could spend without feeling guilty! What are $lO.000.000 more or less? Then Barry has his money!” Mr. Garretson scowled. “Unfortunately, no. Barry does not have the money. Townsend did not sign the will.” “But—!” Mona started. "He wanted it that way!” The lawyer’s voice was dryness itself. “The courts prefer signatures in such cases.” His tone became mild again. “My child, matters are as they were. Elizabeth is remembered in the will. “You, needless to say, are re-

CONTRACT BRIDGE BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WHAT is the safest system for bidding slams? That is a paramount question in contract bridge. Showing a definite number of quick tricks is not always satisfactory, as there may be a duplication of values. The better player today is beginning to realize that to invite a slam, he must have command of at least two suits. It is generally very easy for partner to read the two commands which you hold. Remember, however, that this command of a suit means that you hold either a void suit or the ace—king-queen-jack is not enough. When employing the one over one system if partner were to open with a bid of one heart and you knew that your hand held sufficient strength for him to go game, you should bid three hearts. This bid immediately informs partner that four can be made, but that you are not inviting a slam. If you jump the bid to four hearts, you say to partner, “We are safe at five” and that you have command of two suits—a jump of one to four is a slam invitation and should not be made unless you do have those two commands. a a a HERE’S another example of showing control —suppose you open with a bid of one no trump and partner bids two no trump. If you were now to bid four no trump (a most unlikely bid, but simply made to illustrate the point) you would be telling partner that you had absolute command of two suits—in other words, that you held two suits that were headed by aces as the contract is no trump. In addition, you would inform him that you had a working suit and sufficient tricks, in your opinion, to make a slam, if he holds a little additional strength. In cue bidding, commands are also essential. For example, partner opens the bidding with one heart and the next hand bids one spade. 000 IF you now bid two spades you show—first, no losing spades; second, normal support in hearts; third, a slam invitation. You must have command of one other suit besidfes the spade suit, because you are inviting a slam. I am quite sure that if you will refuse to invite slams unless you hold these two commands, that you immediately will find that you are not bidding slam after slam that can not be made. Next I am going to show you an interesting hand that came up in a recent tournament where two partners who were using this command system of bidding, safely kept from going to a grand slam, and how easily they could have arrived at the grand slam if it had been there.

membered. Save for a few small legacies to the servants and others, you receive the bulk of the estate.” 000 SHE automatically had expected that. If he had anticipated surprise or delight, Mr. Garretson was mistaken. “Barry was not remembered?” the girl repeated. “Barry receives one dollar." “Then,” Mona said eagerly, “all that needs to be done i; for me to sign over $10,000,000 to Barry! It’s as plain as day. “John wished it. He said he would do anything to make me happy. Ten millions is his own figure, isn't it? In the unsigned will?” She ran to the desk, searching for paper, for pen.

-Hold on. hold on! What are you going to do?” “I don't know. You'll have to do it. Draw up the paper, whatever is necessary, so that from today, from now Barry has that money! IU sign it. John wished it, too.” “My child.” Mr. Garretson spoke to her gently. “It isn't as simple as that.” He shook his head. “Even if you were free to give away $lO.000,000 it couldn't be done by a scratch of the pen. “But you are not free! The latest will, the one upon which the court will act, deprives you of the right to make such a gift.” “I can not give it to Barry?” * “You can not give it to any one.

Only antitoxin from this snake farm at Sao Paulo could have saved his life.

Particularly when she is attractive.” “Besieged by offers? That does not mean that she has to accept!” Mr. Garretson was grave in his answer. “Mona,” he said, “I think that the condition was simply a sort of protest against young Barry.

Towny's wife, were the young woman of whom he had spoken. “Barry told Towny in fact that he wanted to marry you. And from
