The new play, "When Lights Are Low,” contained a minor part in which there was an opportunity for specialty dances. There were a few lines, too. Sheila didn't mind learning lines, but she did strenuously—object to these. “How can you look so innocent find say such things?” the juvenile asked her, when, at the first rehearsal, Sheila stumbled through the part. Sheila, nodded and blushed. She war; grateful tor a friendly word, because rehearsal, when parts first arc assigned and possibly not permanent, is the coldest spot on earth. She never had seen this juvenile before. He was a young man with striking blond hair. His profile, however, was manly and clear-cut and his mouth rather sweetly wistful. Sheila shook her wise little head and told herself she hoped the girls wouldn't spoil him. But they would, of course. The first matinee was to bring him a load of mash notes. “I hope they'll change those lines,” Sheila told him nervously. "Why don’t you ask them to?” he suggested. “Maybe they don't know you object.” He looked so innocent that Sheila decided he was not joking. She was sitting on a scenic rock, swinging her little feet in her tap shoes. "I guess you are rather new' to Broadway, aren’t you?” she asked. The young man considered, head bent slightly to one side. “Aren’t you?” he countered. tt tt tx C’HE laughed gaily. “That was the *3 answer I deserved. And my answer to that is, ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ I'm new to a part in a Broadway show, but not, new by any means to the ways of Broadway. Nor to tramping the streets looking for a job.” She shuddered, half in earnest, half playfully. “Even in summer this street’s the coldest in the world. Worn shoes, head aching from sleepless nights or worry—” “That must be terrible.” he said simply- as one speaking of something he never would personally encounter. “You mean you don’t know’ how hard It is to find a job?” It was Sheila’s turn to stare. “I mean just that. This job found me. I dare say I was lucky—if you look at it that way. Unlucky if you look at it another. “If I don't go over big—that is big enough to warrant staying here in New York—l've sort of spoiled my taste for the village. Don't you think?” “It depends upon the village,” Sheila said uncertainly. Was this young man kidding her? Certainly 4 no village youth could have such an

Contract Bridge

This is (hr first of three special articles hv Mr. McKcnney on the "Kule of Eleven.” BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge la-ague (Convrlght. 1933. bv NEA Service, lilf.l AT bridge we soon learn to lead . the fourth best of our longest and strongest suit, especially against a no trump declaration when partner has not bid. However, many players make this lead without understanding the reason for it and many partners fail •to take advantage of the valuable Information it conveys. If the leader's partner will take the trouble to do so. he frequently can locate every card in the suit led. and that information will enable him to save many tricks in defensive play. The cards can be located by using n. simple mathematical device called the rule of eleven. The latter is a fundamental principle of defensive play and must be applied by every one who wishes to advance from the novice class. The declarer also can apply the rule of eleven and it assists him in locating the cards held by his adversaries. However, the declarer knows his strength and weakness as soon as he sees the dummy, and knows exactly what cards are out against him. while the adversaries have no direct way of learning it. Therefore, any information exchanged is likely to be of more benefit to the defending side than to the declarer. tt tt tt rule of eleven requires that A the card ltd be the fourth best, or the fourth from the highest, card of the suit led (e. g„ if you held Q-10-8-5-2. and that was the suit you had selected to open, the five spot should be led*. The numeral of the card led should be subtracted from eleven tin this case five from eleven leaves six'. The result will tell you the number of cards higher than the card led that are in the hands of the three players other than the leader. Using the above example (partner opening the live spot', if dummy now held king-9-6 and you. as partner of the leader, held ace-jack-7. you would now say five from eleven leaves six. As there are three cards in the dummy higher than the five spot, and as your hand contains three

air, stich self-confidence or such a wardrobe. His clothes yere expensive. well cut. “There are two villages. One is New’ Haven and the other a suburb of Boston.” “And a certain village known as Paris and another called London tossed in!” Sheila added. He laughed gayly. “Is my bitter past as evident as that? I say, let me introduce myself. You are Sheila Shayne, I know, for when you were dancing I heard someone say so. Well, my name is Jim Biaine. “I suppose they’ll change it on the program, provided I ever get that far. That’s not flossy enough. Meanwhile, I want to call you Sheila if I may. So why not try Jim?” “Oh—Shayne!” a raucous voice interrupted them. “Do you think this is a pink tea? That's your cue?” “My fault,” whispered Jim, shamefacedly rising from the bit of scenery where he had been seated at her feet. “Never mind that old bozo. He praises you when you aren’t around!” “I may not be around tomorrow if he changes his mind,” Sheila whispered back. The pianist, a slender, bent young man in shirt sleeves who appeared completely bored, again struck the music cue. Mike, the owner of the voice, stepped back, spreading his hands to clear a group of inquisitive ladies of the ensemble from underfoot. "Dada da!” he hummed, swinging an authoritative forefinger. tt tt a SHEILA translated herself instantly into liquid motion. She had learned the routine in half a dozen painstaking sessions with Bill Brady, who had gone to some length to inform her that they were not paying him extra to teach her the steps, nor would he dream of doing it for any one but her. Asa routine it was one of Bill’s best. Flashy, intricate, yet appearing to the uninitiated far more difficult than it really was. To Jim Blaine this fresh-faced, dark-haired girl dancing on the cleared stage was poetry itself. The loveliest dance he had ever witnessed. "Say, you are wonderful!” he told her, a smile spreading over his face, when, panting, Sheila dropped back on the seat she had recently vacated. “It takes wind, that’s sure. I’ll have to keep on practicing.” “It was exquisite. It was beautiful!” She and Jim soon became great friends. He was not dependent on his salary, even when it began—which would not be until after the show opened. His car was a long greyhound affair, parked well out of sight of the stage door when it was not brought arotlnd to the drug store some blocks away by a garage mechanic. He was—and Sheila liked this—neither ostentatious concerning his worldly goods or over-modest. Frequently he took Sheila to dinner, but oftener than not he was "tied up.” He lived somewhere vaguely beyond Fifth avenue and did not proffer Sheila his telephone number, though he requested and frequently used hers. That he was—or would be—a successful actor was beyond doubt. The faintly British tinge of tone and manner served him in good stead. His singing voice was excellent. (To Be Continued)

higher, you now would know that the declarer held no card higher than the five. If dummy played the six, you would play the seven, which would hold the trick. If he played the nine, you would win the trick with the jack, while if he played the king, you would take it with the ace. The mathematical principle of the rule of eleven is as follows: Cards in reality begin with the two spot—there is no one spot. Now, let us substitute an eleven spot for the jack, twelve for the queen, thirteen spot for the king Mid a fourteen spot for the ace. Now select thirteen cards from one suit of a deck and lay them out on the table in their ranking order. We are calling the ace. king, queen and jack the fourteen, thirteen, twelve and eleven spots, respectively. Now select any small card and subtract it from the highest card — the fourteen spot. If you had selected the five, you will now find, after deducting five from fourteen, that there are nine cards higher than the five spot in every suit. a a tt AS the card led always is the fourth best, the leader, therefore. holds three of these nine cards, so instead of saying five from fourteen leaves nine, and the three the leaded holds from nine leaves six, we shorten the procedure by deducting the three cards held by the leader from fourteen and arrive at the constant figure of eleven. Now, for practice, take the thirteen cards of the suit you are using and deal them out in four hands—in any distribution you care to, making sure that the opening leader always has at least four cards. Lead the fourth best, look at the dummy, look at either of the other two closed hands, and see if you can tell how many cards higher than the card led are in the other closed hand. Practice this until you are thoroughly familiar with the working of the Rule of Eleven. It is very seldom that a card higher than the eight spot ever is led in the Rule of Eleven. When the nine spot is your fourth best card, you invariably have an honor combination that should be led in preference to the fourth best. NEXT: How to apply the ‘‘Rule of Eleven.

With his remaining strength Tarzan turned himself over on his back. He saw Ska wheel quickly upward. With this sight the ape-man's mind cleared for a while. "Is the end so near as that?" he thought. "Does Ska know I am near gone?”

He threw a forearm across his eyes to protect them from Ska’s powerful beak. Then he lay very still and waited. It was restful there and Tarzan was dog-tired. He feared he might sleep, and something told him he would never awaken. ;

So he concentrated all his remaining powers upon the one thought of remaining awake. Not a muscle moved. To Ska, circling above, it became evident that the end had come. The man wa sdead. His long vigil was about to be rewarded! .
