BEGIN HERE TODAY BTAN BALL, an agi-nt for cattle lnteret. faces ASP EH DELO in hU office In the city. Asper la accused bv the cattle men of infringing on their range with hia timber cutting Ball accuses Delo of having men shot who try to check up on him. Ball sars he is going up to make a check himself. IVio retorts that he will personally see that Ball does not. Standing before the office building Stan Ball sees kidnapers slip a girl Into a car. He catches the car and saves DONA DELO Asper's daughter. When he learns who she Is, he slips away, after telling her he Is STANLEY SLACK. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER ONE (Continued) "What was it all about?” Dona asked resignedly. It was clear that the Three Rivers affair would have to be heard before anything else oculd be considered. “A whipsnapper nosing around for a report on the Three Rivers tract, Asper grunted. "That is supervised timber. Why not let him help himself?” Dona •was impatient. “The Three Rivers tract Is paying and it’s been handled right, but that brat doesn't get to check it over or anybody else! It is a tough stand to make a profit on. That’s why I have Swergin there.’’ Suddenly Asper bent over and patted Dona's hand. “I’ll leave orders to find Mr. Black and have him shipped out to the house tomorrow.” He rose and held out his arm. "Now we must get back and report this mess to the police.” CHAPTER TWO Dudley winters tapped the cork tip ofhLscigaret on the arm of his chair and smiled. He just had delivered himself of an order and he was expecting it to be taken with some weight. The person to whom this mandate had been directed was curled up in a deep chair, gazing meditatively out the nearest window. “Don’t be antique, Dud! Engaged men don’t rush around telling their fiancees what to do in this age.” Dona Delo turned impatiently and pursed her lips in a most tantalizing manner. Winters arose and strode across the room. He bent over the easy chair and scowled at Its occupant in a mock fit of anger. “Want me to drag you out of that chair by your hair, woman?” He bent over and tried to steal a kiss, but Dona evaded his lips and pushed him aside. “Pull your cave in after you,” she retorted. “I have things on my mind.” Dudley straightened and a defiant frown clouded his handsome face. His mouth dropped a little at the corners when he frowned and Dona fancied he readily could pout. ‘You’re thinking about that washout, Black, when you should be listening to me.” Dudley could not help speaking the thoughts in his mind. "The way he vanished shows what he thinks of you.” 1 Dona uncurled and let her little heels click on the floor. “He certainly took a great deal of pains not to make himself unpleasant.” Her eyes showed that she had not liked that remark of Dudley’s. Sensing a quarrel, the young man grinned and changed his tactics. After all, why worry about this fellow Black? He plainly was a oneday visitor to the city and already punching cows back in the hills hundreds of miles away. He drew Dona down among the cushions and pinched her arm. “Mi> Black is a true knight and I shall thank him for saving you when you find him.” “Dad will locate him when he gets back,” Dona flashed moodily. "Your Dad must be out for big game on this trip,” Dudley said, seating himself upon the arm of her chair. He sent a thin spiral of smoke ceilingward before he continued*. “He had his rifle and one of those

poftable cannons commonly known as six guns out on his desk and all oiled up.” m m m THE girl stirred and straightened. This was news to her. She had been so busy checking up on the whereabouts of Stanley Black that she had forgotten all about her father's trip to Three Rivers. "Guns?” she echoed. "Sure. A young arsenal and whole pile of cartridges. He had all the accessories, too. A sleeping bag and a pile of regular western paraphernalia.” Dudley was glad he had struck upon a topic that had no fire in it. "Where did you see him?” Dona demanded uneasily. She had not expected her father to return to the rough country. He had promised her he was through with the dangerous end of the timber business. Her anxiety was aroused at once and she caught herself wondering where Stanley Black could be. If he were at hand she knew he would be able to tell her what to do. “I steppper in upon him at the office when I was looking for you. He told me all about the man hunt you’re on.”

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WHEN two strong players are using the one over one system, defensive bidding against them is attended with grave danger. This hand, played in the National Master's contract pair championship, shows what may happen to an unsuspecting player who dares to overcall an opening bid.

AA-Q-7-3 1 V J-4 w 4 Q-2 *Q-10-7-6-3 AK-9-5 [NORTH] 4k 10-6-VQ-3-2 t- 5 4-2 4 K-J £ cn V 8-7-5 *K-J-9- £ H 410-9-4-2 Dealer 7-5-4 SOUTH | *5 4f J-8 VA-K-10c9-6 4 A-8-6-3 4.A-8

North and South hands were played by W. K. Barrett and John Rau respectively, and West would no doubt prefer not to have his name mentioned. The Bidding Rau, in the South, opened with one heart. West had a five-card club suit, and an array of face cards, which, according to the table of high card tricks used by some writers, counted up to about three tricks. Therefore, he hardly could be blamed for bidding two clubs, even though vulnerable. Barrett in the North knew his partner’s opening bid in first position was based on at least three high card tricks, and probably more, so he did not hesita*- wj double two clubs, and that ended the contracting. The Play Barrett opened the jack of hearts and ruffed the third round of that suit with the three of clubs. He led a small diamond, which Rau in the South won with the ace, and returned the jack of spades. West covered with the king, so Bar-

Dona looked at Dudley appraisingly. She saw a slender young man of athletic type. Square shoulders, fine head and dark eyes that held a lurking flicker of amusement. Then she saw the mouth with its tendency to droop a bit at the corners, Dudley Winters was plainly capable, but not accustomed to being called upon for any kind of action demanding effort. "Why don’t you go up to Three Rivers and talk Dad out of this wild idea, whatever it is?” She put the question to test the first thought that came into her head. Dudley grinned aitd inhaled deeply. He let the smoke trickle out of his mouth before he answered. "Aw D, he’ll make it by himself. I never shot a bear in my life.” "But he’s not after bear. He’s after a man,” Dona spoke earnestly. “You could talk him into coming back, giving up the whole thing.” "A man?” Dudley halted the spiral of smoke abruptly. “You’re crazy, D.” "You don’t know Dad! He comes from a family of hard fighters. Honestly, Dud, this is serious.” Dona caught the young man’s hand impulsively. “Can’t you see we

rett went up with the ace and returned the queen and another spade. South ruffed the third one with the eight of clubs, laid down the ace of clubs, and returned another heart. Up to this point, declarer had not won a trick, and he must still concede two mroe to Barrett’s queen and ten of clubs. When the smoke cleared away, declarer found that he had won exactly three tricks, after contracting for eight, and the penalty was 1,800 points. West suggested weakly that his partner might have save something by rescuing with two diamonds, but a review of the play showed that the opponents could have slaughtered a two-damond bid just as badly. The only way West could avoid trouble on this hand was to feign deep sleep whenever it became his turn to bid. (Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.) TTBCDK - A DAY 8Y iRUCt CATTON SAPPHO generally is recognized as the greatest woman poet who ever lived. And yet hardly 200 lines of her poetry are in existence, and 'they are mostly scattered and incomplete fragments, and very little is definitely known of her life—so little, indeed, that no biography of her has been available to the ordinary reader. Now comes Arthur Weigall with “Sappho of Lesbos,” a full length biography of more than ordinary interest. Mr. Weigall has consulted the antiquarian source-books faithfully, and with labor that must have been very extensive he has pieced together an account of Sappho’s life, which ,if not as complete as one might wish, is at least far better than anything previously accessible. In places this biography has much more to say about the life of Sappho’s era than about Sappho herself. But that, after all, is fair enough; what it has to say is interesting, and Weigall always is careful to indicate when he is recording proved facts and when he is indulging in conjecture. The book includes, also, all the lines of Sappho’s verse known to be extant. Incidentally, Weigall explodes the tradition that there were two Sapphos, one a poet and the other a courtesan, and shows that it was Sappho’s own slightly scandalous behavior that gave rise to the myth. Published by Stokes, "Sappho of Lesbos” sells for $3.

A certain number of members left $ club meeting, If one more had gone, two-thirds would have relied. If two more had stayed, only half would have gone. How many were there originally?

"Your dad doesn't need to get into hunting clothes and lumberjack boots and trail off to shoot a man. He has plenty of lumberjacks to do his fighting for him. Why didn’t he call up one of his men at Three Rivers?” "That’s it. Dad would not hire any one. He’d do it himself. When I was a little girl up in the camps, I used to jump into bed and cover my head when he werit off on one of his mad fighting trips. The strain of living with him shortened mother’s days.” Dona stood up and caught Dudley by the

“This one," said Tarzan, incidating Komodo - florensal, “is the son of King Adendrohahkis.” “I was wicked, Zuanthrol,” said Janzara, “but I have seldom been denied anything I craved.” And then to Ttiaskar she said, “Take your man, my girl.”

arms. "You see, we have to do something!” Dudley stared at her for a full minute before he spoke. “I’d likely make him mad and he’d tell me to go home and play golf, but I’d do anything for you, D.” He pulled her closer to him. “If I drag your Dad back from Three Rivers without his having killed anybody, what will be my reward?” His lip 6 were eagerly near to hers now. Dona smiled up at him. “What would you ask?’’ she parried. "You ask me that?” He pulled her against him. “What have I been asking for the last three months?” Dona pushed him away. “You’ll have to make a lot of preparations. She was smiling now. Dudley had come through with more credit than she had expected and she was ashamed of the thoughts that had

been lurking in the back of her mind. “Your answer first, my little lady.’ He caught her and held her tightly. "Whatever you ask, but you must get father to give up this wild idea of shooting someone.” Playfully she shoved him away as he tried to gather her slender shoulders in a close embrace. "Your reward. Sir Knight, must wait upon your success.” Dudley shook her lightly and released her. "You are a hard taskmaster, Princess.” He bowed with a wide sweep of his arm. "But your knight rides forth at dawn to do your bidding.” “At dawn and in my roadster. I am going to Three Rivers with you, sir.” "No, you don’t! This may be a case of hog tying your fond parent

“You are mistaken, Janzara,” said Talaskar. “I do not love Zuanthrol, nor does he love me.” “Do you mean,” demanded Komodoflorensal of Tarzan, “that you do not love Talaskar?” “On the contrary, I love her very much,” replied Tarzan, “but not in the way you feared."

and shipping him back by express. This is a man’s job and I refuse to allow the future Mrs. Winters to be involved in it. “You will sit right here and await the boy from the telegraph office. Once every hour or oftener he will deliver a report on the progress at Three Rivers." Dudley patted his chest and struck a heroic attitude that was gravely comical. STANDING before her in his faultlessly tailored suit, his hair combed back smoothly and his tie knotted with careless perfection, Dudley Winters looked more capable of braving the dangers of a bridge party among dowagers than embarking upon a dangerous and rough mission. Dona was certain, however, that he had the strength to handle the job.
