Dudley comes in and Dona asks him to marry her. He stalls. MALLOY Ball's friend, finds him Stan Bail heads back to Three Rivers. Ball returns and tells Asper Delo he has come to kill Swergin NOW GO ON WITH THE SfORY CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE ASPER went to Dona's room that night to make sure she was resting well. He meant to be off lor Pass Creek long before sun-up next morning. Dudley was sitting attentively beeide her. Asper stayed a half hour and when he got up to go, nodded lor Dudley to follow him. “I'll have to ride out tomorrow morning on an important matter," he spoke gravely. ‘‘Don't mention it to Dona and stay with her. See that she is moved out on the porch and made comfortable.” Dudley smiled and slapped Asper on the arm. He was In rare good spirits. “I’ll take care of Dona. You better be careful of yourself and and get back on time." Dudley Jcould not help adding this bit of jadvice. Asper turned to his room. He went inside and got out his old revolver. He had decided not to take any men with him. They would be in the way, in case he wanted to scout around quietly. Asper Delo suddenly had decided that he was on the track of all of his troubles. Stan Ball had convinced him that there was a reason lor all this trouble beyond a feud between them, and Asper was a man who liked to get at the bottom of things. The next morning he was up and had dressed before dawn. He left the building without making a sound. Down at the corrals all was quiet and he was able to saddle a horse without disturbing any one. The cold morning air struck him in the face as he headed toward the Pass Creek trail. Asper smiled grimly as he thought of 8011. This time he would be as wary as an old fox. There would be no waylaying along the trail. If Ball was just drawing him on, the gunman would be fooled. For several miles he followed the beaten trail, then as gray dawn began to light the woods he took to cover and moved carefully from one patch of timber to another. He rode with eyes and ears alert and kept his heavy gun ready for instant action. Asper's route took him high along the side of the mountain and brought him out above the low saddle of the divide that separated Pass Creek and Three Rivers. On a rocky point overlooking the valley he was about to explore, Asper halted and began to make a general survey of the canyon below’. A light breeze was fanning up

through the stunted spruce as he bent forward to listen. Distinctly through the dawn came the rumble of a truck motor. The old timber man listened. "Ball w’as right,” he muttered as he sent his horse toward the sound. u n a ASPER rode down the steep slope at an angle. He had gone a hundred yards when his horse broke through a thick growth of scrub oak and walked into a beaten trail. Asper halted to look around carefully. The trail was higher up than would have been reasonable for a horse or pack road. Any builder of trails would have crossed the divide lower down in the saddle to avoid the climb around the mountain unless he wanted to hide his path. The old timber king bent and checked the black dust for horse tracks. Someone had gone down over that trail the night before. Asper pulled aside into the brush

Contract Bridge

This is the eleventh of a series of articles bv William E. McKennev. explaining the one over one svstem of bidding in contract bridge. BY W. E. M’KENVEY Secretary American Bridge League TWO original forcing suit bids are employed in the -one over one system. They are: 1. The original forcing suit bid of two, which will be explained today. 2. The original forcing suit bid of three, w’hich will be explained in the next article. The principal difference in the two bids is that the original bidder, when making a forcing suit bid of two, is prepared to allow his partner to become the declarer—in other words, his hand safely can become the dummy at a no trump contract and even, possibly, at a suit that may be named by partner. However, when making an original forcing suit bid of three, the original bidder makes the that he desires to be the declarer on this hand and that he has no desire to play the hand at a no trump contract. This is an important point to bear in mind when employing these two bids. a tt a 'T'HE most abused bid at contract bridge today is the forcing two bid. The majority o* experts who today use and advocate the forcing two bid in connection with the one over one system find only rare opportunities to employ this forcing original bid. An original suit bid of two shows a power-house hand with no more than three losing cards, and a hand that can go down and become the dummy. . It not only demands that partner keep the bidding open, but places an obligation upon both partners to keep the bidding open until the final declaration is a game-going contract, even though partner’s hand is trickless. An exaggerated example is as follows: The original bid is two hearts. Holding less than a trick, the proper response is two no trump. The original bidder then bids three diamonds. The bidding must be kept open, therefore if neither suit can be supported, the proper response is three no trump. If the original bidder then goes to four clubs, partner now is required to support one of the three suits or to bid four no trump. Os course, the naming of three suits is very rare, but the example is given to show that the bidding must continue until the final

and sat thinking. He had made a very Important discovery, but he did hot know that Dona had done the same thing several days before. He was mulling over the significance of his find when a snapping twig warned him someone was coming. He peered through -the wide oak leaves and waited, his gun. ready. Below him a black horse appeared on the trail. Asper could see a cowboy that bent low to avoid branches and limbs. The rider was approaching unsuspectingly. “Ball," Asper grunted. “Walking right into my hands.” He leveled his gun and waited. The man came on at an easy trot. His horse evidently knew the twisting trail well. When the black was opposite him, Asper pushed his horse into the clear and spoke sharply. "Put up your hands.” The rider jerked suddenly, then his hands rose slowly and his face

declaration is a game-going contract. An original suit bid of two*is made on a hand containing five or six high card tricks, but even this number of quick tricks is not sufficient if more than three of the smaller cards are losers. n / n THERE are indeed few hands in a year’s time that meet the strong requirements of this bid, and when in doubt as to whether the hand meets these requirements, it is my advice either to open the hand with two no trump, if it will meet those requirements; or one no trump, which shows a very strong hand; or one of a suit, as partner will keep the bidding open with as little as a trick in one hand with at least a bid of one no trump. An original game demand suit bid of two requires partner to make a bid even though his hand is trickless and places an obligation on both him and the original bidder to keep the bidding open until the final contract is at least a gamegoing declaration. There are two types of responses —one is known as a positive response and one as a negative response. The negative response is two no trump and is made with a trickless hand. The positive response is either a suit bid dr a bid of three no trump. To make this positive response, partner is required to hold either an ace or one and one-half high card tricks.

/TITO? ADA/ BY BRUCE CATTON

IF you read “Turnabout” or “The Night Life of the Gods,” you know that Thorne Smith can produce a kind of depraved humor which is so terribly funny that it actually hurts. He has written anew one, now, “The Bishop’s Jaegers,” and it is my sad duty to inform you that it isn’t quite up to standard. In spots it is completely hilarious, but in other spots it is a bit labored and the laughs are a trifle forced. Still, taking it all in all, it has its moments. This book brings together a young business man, a portly bishop, a pickpocket, a former artist’s model named Aspirin Liz, a society girl, a stenographer and a duck named Havelock Ellis. All these people (except the duck) embark at New York on a Hoboken ferry. A fog comes up and the ferry, getting last, drifts about the ocean aimlessly for a couple of days, until our friends get a lifeboat and strike out for shore on their own hook. Landing somewhere on the Long Island coast, they plop into a nudist colony which they are forced to join. It is there, by the way, that Havelock Ellis, who likes to nip people. meets them. Fleeing, unclad, from the nudist colony, this merry crew brings the book to a climax when it accidentally gets into an oceanside amusement park and lands in the strong arms of the deeply puzzled law. As you can imagine, all this provides a good deal of rather bawdy fun. This book, by the way, is not for your Aunt Emma. Published by Doubleday, Doran & Cos., the book costs $2.

was revealed. Asper's eyes widened. He was staring intA the face of his timber boss. “Swergin!" Asper exclaimed, but he did not lower his gun. “Put up that gun," Swergin growled. Asper crowded close. “I’ll take yours, first,” he said grimly, then added. “Just to make sure.” Swergin's face contorted Into a scowl. “You sure got a nerve," he protested angrily. Asper faced his foreman after relieving him of his gun. “Now explain the activity down in the canyon!” Swergin lowered his arms and shifted his weight in the saddle. “What activity?” he asked. “You know what I mean. And while you’re at it, you might explain the black horse and the cowboy getup.”

But more and more he found himself thinking of the British soldiers fighting against such heavy odds. In the Red camp he had heard enough to Suggest they were getting the worst of this war with oie Red invaders.

“I got mj-self dressed up this way to take Ball in." Swergin’s manner was surly. “What is going on down in the canyon? You might as well spit it out. I’m going down there to see for myself.” Asper was cold as steel. He was a timber boss again. v. a m SWERGIN twisted farther around in his saddle and his lips parted in a beefy smile. Asper caught a glint in the man's eyes that warned him of trouble, but he was not quick enough to meet It. A rifle barrel jammed into the small of his back and he knew he had made a mistake. Swergin had friends with him. “Don't make a move,” a voice from behind ordered. Inwardly berating himself, Asper sat still while Swergin recovered his gun and took Asper's gun away

from him. Swergin was leering triumphantly now. “Get a rope and tie his hands In front of him," he ordered. The man who had showed the rifle into Asper's back rode around in front and dismounted. * Swergin covered his employer with his six gun w’hile the man proceeded to tie Asper fast to his owm saddle horn. "You can’t get away with this stuff,” Asper growled. “If you’d have kept your nose out of Pass Creek for another day. you would have saved yourself a lot of trouble,” Swergin said as he tested the rope that held his boss. ' You are as low’ as they come, Swergin!” Asper fumed. “Send him on ahead.” The timber boss paid no attention to Asper’s wrath. , The three riders trailed slowly

It made him lower his head and growl, and it worried him—a little, perhaps, because he was finding it difficult to forget that he, too, was of English ancestry, when he wanted to be an ape. At last he could no longer endure the thought that

through the timber and finally left the trail where It crossed the ridge. Finally they halted before the cabin where Stan had been held prisoner. Asper noted grimly that he had not checked his country very well. The evidence of the cabin had been unknown to him. Swergin forced him to dismount and made him enter the log shack. With a rope, he tied Asper to the same wall he had tied Stan to. "You * better reconsider this,” Asper shouted angrily. “We’ll tell you what we aim to do, later,” Swergin answered as he strode away. Asper could hear him giving his man orders. “Ride back down and tell the boys to clean up the last of the timber and head out with it.” A few minutes later Swergin returned. Hnsat down on a sawed stump and began pulling off his cowboy togs.

As quickly as he had undressed' he dressed again in lumberman's togs which were hanging on the log wall. "Can't you let an old man sit down?” Asper demanded. Swergin kicked the stump he had used as a chair toward his former boss. “Squat on that and take it easy while you can." he sneered.
