U tt A SPER was awake and the doctor • had him propped up with pillows when Dudley and Dona arrived. ‘‘Got me back in bed again,” he greeted them with a sour smile. "Even thinks he's going to ship me back to town.” Asper grunted and eased himself over on one elbow. "No trying to get up!” Dona warned. “You might have stayed up If you had behaved.” "That fool bonesaw has been fpaching you,” Asper protested, but hje allowed her to pat his cheek and straighten his pillow. •‘‘He simply wants to get you on ypur feet.” Dona spoke soothingly. .' Asper grunted and eyed Dudley. “You’re going to take this young Hdy and return to the city,” he informed Dudley in a voice that held much of its old authority. "What about you? I’m having arrangements made to ship you along with us.” Dona patted his hhnd. "I'm staying here. There will be a trained nurse in tonight by stage and then you kids can clear out.” Dona bent over her father and shook her head firmly. "We three are going together. If you don’t go-we stay.” Asper grinned. “I knew that befor you spoke. Well, you and Winters stay, then. But you stick close to camp! No more jaunts like you tqok yesterday, young lady.” :"Has Swergln been in to see you?” Asper "nodded. “And I told him pjenty! If he doesn’t have that whipsnapper strung up or tied up by tomorrow, I’m going to get up and that doctor can go hang!” Asper's face flushed and Dona clapped a hand over his mouth to stop further words. ; ."Dad, you must be quiet! You couldn’t get up if you wanted to.” "That’s what comes of having a woman and a doctor around,” Asper grumbled. "If this was the old days, I’d have been on a horse two days ago, and had that whelp’s hide by now.” ‘'Swergin will bring him in,” Dona assured him soothingly. To Dudley she added, "Wait out in the hall. I want to talk with you.” Dona told Dudley what the doctor had said and sent him to find Swergin. Dudley hurried away and Dona sat down outside the open door of her father’s room to think. She had to act rapidly and she would have to keep her father from guessing her plans.

1 KEEPS FRESH IN EXPENSIVE SATISFYING —f - „ I

THE upper reaches of Folly mountain are rugged and ' covered with scrub growth that has jno commercial value. Tumbled ! rocks lie at the foot of towering granite walls and the spires above | the w alls etch themselves against | the sky. A lone rider mounted on a black , horse slipped through the dense i growth, keeping always to cover. His black mount seemed to know that they must proceed carefully. She picked her way daintly through the down timber and heavy undergrowth, scarce ly making a sound. Folly mountain had become a place of death for Stan Ball. His dark eyes peered out from under heavy brows and his handsome face looked drawn. For two days he had been trying to leave Folly Mountain and get* over to Blind River, but he had found men posted at every pass and along every trail. He would have to wait / until the moonlinght nights were over.. He was aware that, once he was outside, the Blind River outfit could give him only temporary shelter. He was branded. Swergin had posted him as a murderer and made him a hunted man. Stan patted the black’s neck and whispered to her as they entered a slash in the great rock wall they had been fallowing. "We've got a lot of killings to our credit and we may have to add a few more. Tonight we ride down into Three Rivers for a few more supplies.” CHAPTER FIFTEEN DUDLEY did not return with Swergin for half an hour. Dona sat where she could watch her father, who lay pretending to be dozing. She was sure Asper was only pre-

Contract Bridge

BY W. Ei M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League r T*'HE elimination or strip play is fairly common and almost every session of play will develop two or three opportunities to execute it. Here is an interesting variation in which the declarer was obliged to plan the elimination from the very first trick, and finally, having exhausted the entries in dummy, cleverly forced an opponent to complete its execution. • The hand was played in the National Challenge Team of Four championship by Miss Elinor Murdoch, a former holder of the national women’s pair championship.

The Bidding

tending and that behind his halfclosed eyes he was planning what he would do, once he was able to be up. Swergin appeared from the doctor’s cabin with Dudley at his heels and Dona arose. She wanted to meet the timber boss far enough away from her father’s room so that he could not hear what she had to say. Swergin did not offer any greeting, but halted, grinning at Dona. His little eyes traveled over her with the same boldness that had made her shrink from him the first time they met. “I • want* to talk about father,” Dona began. Swergin’s thick lips parted in a grin. “Not a word about yourself?” He seemed to enjoy the flush that rose in her cheeks. “We’ll save that for later,” Dona countered swiftly. “The doctor says Dad must not be excited. We are not to tell him the details concerning this affair with Ball. We may even have to tell him that we have captured Ball.” “Y*u mean killed him?” Swergin cut in. “You have seen the doctor?” Swergin nodded. “And if you want my idea, I think all this is a bum bet. Don’t know that I’ll be able to do it.” Dona flashed him a quick glance. "Why not?” She asked sharply. “Well.” Swergin seemed to be enjoying himself, "I am just a hired man. Old Asper hires me and pays me. I report to him and to no one else. I ain't got the habit of lying to my boss.” The big man clamped his mouth, shut and waited for this thrust to sink home. “You must promise!” Dona softened her tone and took a step nearer the hulking boss. Her lips parted pleadingly. “For my sake as well as Dad’s!”

two spades and Miss Murdoch carried the bidding to four. The Play West opened the king of hearts. For Miss Murdoch to win the first trick with dummy’s ace would be fatal, for she must utilize that entry to complete elimination of the heart suit. Therefore, she passed up the first trick, but won the second, when West continued with the queen of hearts. She then returned dummy’s last heart at once, ruffing with the jack of spades to avoid a possibility of an over-ruff by West. She then led the ace and king of spades, followed by a small club, which West wisely refused to win. This interfered with/Miss Murdoch’s plan to eliminate the club suit from both dummy’s and her own hand, for after winning with the king of clubs, dummy had only one remaining spade entry and that would be required later for the diamond finesse. However, Miss Murdoch ‘still could demand assistance from her opponents. She led a small club from dummy and of course West won with the ace. He had only diamonds and clubs remaining. Since a diamond lead would cost a trick, he had to return a club, thereby completing the elimination of that suit from dummy. Miss Murdoch trumped and led a small spade to dummy’s queen. She returned a small diamond, finessing the nine, and West was in the lead with the queen. He now must lead either a club, permitting Miss Murdoch to discard a diamond, or else lead a diamond directly into the ace-jack ten-ace. He conceded the remaining three tricks and Miss Murdoch made her contract of four spades. Throughout the hand, she constantly made use of the information gained from West’s informatory double, for that practically marked him with all the oustanding high cards.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

THIS turn made Dudley cut In, “You’ll take your orders from Miss Delo.” He spoke shortly and stepped forward aggressively. "Who asked you to put in?” Swergin growled. “You’ll be lucky to keep a whole skin around you if you stay here.” “Dudley,” Dona laid a hand lightly on his arm. “let me talk to Mr. Swergin. I think I can make him understand.” “No use wastin’ talk. I ain’t promisin’ nothing. If Asper gets me on the carpet and opens up on me, I’m telling him facts and not a lot of rubbish.” "But you would lie to save his life!” Dona pleaded. "I ain’t saying; ain’t making no promises.” Swergin was firm. “You certainly have changed the bold front you made when we first arrived. You were willing enough to tell Asper Delo where to step off

then!” Dudley could not withhold this sarcastic truth. Swergin did n n t flame up. Instead he grinned suddenly. "Old Asper was a well man then and able to take it. I ain’t lying to him, now that he’s low.” Dona caught Dudley’s arm. “Come. Dud. I have to get back to Dad." With a melting smile she faced Swergin. “You will at least promise to see me first, so that I can be there when you report to my father?” “If you are not off chasing in the woods,” Swergin grunted. “When do you expect to report today?” “I’m going out with two picked men and we figure to bring that pup in in a canvas tarp.

The moment’s delay decided the question in favor of the corrals. Dona was up the steps and inside the door. She waved him a good-by kiss and was gone. Dudley walked slowly down the pathway. He was torn between two courses of action. He wanted to go back and he wanted to go on. Had hfe known it. Dona’s words had seemed more tender than her heart dictated. She was planning guided by a woman's instinct, against a great need she feared might soon arise. Swergin’s obstinate actions made her fear that she might have to ask a lot of Dudley Winters.

She paused at her father’s dc and looked inside. He was lying JuJ as she had left him. his eyes halNl closed and his strong mouth a little slack. Dona hurried to her own room and began rummaging through her traveling case. From among a Jumble of silk and lace garments she found a paper. It was the marriage certificate Sam Dean had made out and signed. She tucked it into the front of her dress. It felt cold and stiff against her soft skin, and a little shiver ran down her spine as she faced the door. a a ASPER showed a great deal of improvement that day. When he awakened for his medicine at 4 o'clock he was in high spirits. (To Be Continued.)
