Listen —” “I am listening." Arms on the table, Sheila framed her cheeks with two soft hands and smiled across at him provokingly. “I know it all by heart. Listen, girlie, if that’s all you have, let me help you. “There are plenty of people waiting around to grab a nice little girl like you when she's out of work and hasn’t any money. Let me stake you. Tm not like the others!” “I hbpe I am," Dick said slowly, “If that, s the ••ase.” “Oh, it isn't. I have plenty of money." ‘“Sure?" “Quit* sure. Do you think If I actually were Broke I’d have let you see that- I had so little in my purse? Besides, it isn't a little. That bill is a to.” “A fortune!” gasped Dick in mock agreement. “Look here, Sheila, please give up this road job. Marry me and forget the stage.” They discussed the pros and cons of marriage throughout the rest of the dinner. But Sheila had made up her mind. She would not marry him and live in the city or in a suburb. She wanted a home in the country. A country-bred husband. She even mentioned red geraniums and was surprised and gratified because Dick did not laugh. "But we can have all that, sweetheart,” he said earnestly. "No, we can’t. You were born to a different life. You wouldn’t like It.” And with a promise to write him frequently, Dick had to be content. CHAPTER EIGHTEEN IN spite of all her protests, Sheila was to need money before the rehearsal period was over and the play ready for the road. She needed It to buy clothes, for one thing—nice serviceable traveling frocks and shoes. Sheila thoroughly disliked the cheap, high-heeled pumps the frizzled chorus girls wore on the road, their silk dresses and bargain basement coats. The fact that the girls couldn’t afford better didn’t change matters. They could have bought better things for the same price. They should have learned such things, just as Sheila had learned them, instead, they laughed at the trim, tweed-suited girls they saw getting into roadsters in small towns, laughed at their sport shoes, the plain, expensive traveling frocks they encountered now and then in dining cars.

Contract Bridge

BV W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge league THERE is no question that the opportunity to make an unusually nice play usually is in favor of the declarer. He knows the outstanding high cp' ds against him. He can give his ' pponents opportunity to make a mistake, or, by carefully watching the drop of the cards, he may be able to execute any of the numerous plays, squeezes, etc. However, the real thrill and satisfaction of a well-played hand comes with a brilliant defensive play. Today's hand contains a clever defensive play, but even then, there is opportunity for the declarer to make his contract.

South, the dealer, opens the contracting in the one over one system. West passes and North should take out with two spades, which should be passed by East. South should bid two no trump—he should not jump to three no trump, as North may be taking out with a very weak five-card suit and no incard. Remember, that an original no trump bid shows a very fine hand. Partner, however, always has a right to take out with a weak five-card suit. The bid of two no trump shows a desire to go on with the hand if partner holds anything. Now, as North holds a five-card suit and a side ace, he should respond with three spades. South would then go to three no trump. The Play West's proper opening lead is the ten of hearts, which is a favorable

right

I Those girls in tweed suits were to Sheila the most enviable creatures in the world. She meant to show these members of small town aris- ; tocracy that she, too, knew how to : dress. Perhaps some day she could live the life they lived, have a home, a lawn, flowers, and her trunks and suitcases out of sight in the attic. How Sheila hoped that some day she might buy something without wondering what to do with it when she packed. • Sheila needed money, too, to pay Ma Lowell. Os course, Ma would be willing, if she asked her, to let the rent bill wait. With a daughter of her own recently married out of the "frivolities.” Ma knew all about the difficulties of stage life. The daughter, as a matter of fact, had not married well. Dora’s husband worked at something or other in the Village. Now' and then Dora j worked, too, acting as cashier in an I arty sort of restaurant. Oh, there was no doubt that Ma ! Lowell had a soft place in her heart ! for girls trying to make their way | in the show business! That softness I would provide Sheila with a roof | over her head, but there were other I expenses. One of these was food. Sheila j thought shamefully that she should ! not have turned Dick down so definitely. His luncheon and dinner invitations had been a tremendous help. Os course it wasn’t really fair to put it that way. She went to dinner with Dick because she enjoyed being with him. To "sing for one’s supper,” as the girls called being agreeable to a dinner companion because one needed food, was one thing. To dine with Dick because she liked him was another. a tt a OF course there was Jim Blaine. Frequently she dined with him. I There were one or two others who called her occasionally. With two invitations from Dick, two from Jim and possibly one other J each week, Sheila had managed ! fairly well. Breakfasts were inexpensive and she never ate lunch. It } was horrid to reckon in such a w'ay, but lots of girls did it. They had to. Jim was making a hit in “When Lights Are Low.” He had given Sheila tickets and she had taken Ma Lowell to see the play. Ma had enjoyed it. It was seldom she obtained passes except to vaudeville houses, for most of jthe men and women who patronized her rooming house were in vaudeville. Once they had attained the heights of a Broadway engagement, they were sure to move. Ma liked vaudeville or the pictures best, but she wanted to take a look at "Sheila’s young man.” In Ma’s fond Imaginings it was Jim, not Dick, who held first place in the girl’s heart. "These play-writing young men!” Ma would sniff whenever Dick’s name entered the conversation. "No good—any of them! Always behind in their rent, burning the lights all night, starving themselves or else moving off in a limousine, too big to even speak to a person! They’re all alike!” Frequently Sheila saw Jim on Sundays when they would drive out on Long Island. The play closed at 11 each night and Sheila disliked late parties. Sunday, unrushed, calm and deliberate, was their day. tt tt tt THEY would take a lunch and drive out along the green Long Island roads, lined with streams and ponds and waddling white ducks. (To Be Continued)

break for the declarer, as it is right into his tenace holding. But even though a lead like this may work out to a disadvantage at times, your best blind attack against a no trump contract is to open your longest and strongest suit, especially if you have a possible incard, which West has with a queen of diamonds. The declarer, winning with the heart jack, immediately would lead his jack of spades. East should refuse to win the first trick. Declarer will continue with a small spade, which East should win with the king. East realizes, with West’s nine dropping, that the spade suit is going to be set on the next round, jjut the only incard the declarer has in dummy is the ace of diamonds, so here is the opportunity for the very fine defensive play. East immediately should return the king of diamonds—even though it appears to sacrifice a sure winner in his hand, it is killing two tricks for the declarer. a tt tt Os course the declarer just as well may win the tricks in the dummy with the ace, because if he does not, East will continue with a small diamond. The spade suit must be abandoned and a small club should be led from the dummy, declarer finessing the jack. His next play is the jack of diamonds, which West wins with the queen. West returns a heart and the declarer wins with the ace. The declarer has lost two tricks, he is sure to lose two more—and possibly three. However, he has opportunity to execute an end play. He first must pull the possible exit card out of East's hand by leading the king of hearts, which takes East's sce?n. The spade suit now' should be led by the declarer and East will win with the ace. East now is forced to lead either a diamond through the declarer’s 10-8 or a club through his A-Q. In either case the declarer is bound to make the last three tricks, and while East has made a very fine defensive play with the king of diamonds, the declarer, with the aid of an end play, has succeeded in making his contract of three no trump. t Cony right. 1933. br NKA Service.

TARZAN THE UNTAMED

As Tarzan halted in the jungle shadows, he saw two husky black women leading a slender white girl. Without cause one or the other would strike or push her roughly. Tarzan watched through halt-closed eyes.

His impulse was to leap amotig them and tear the girl from their cruel clutches. But he had recognized her immediately as Olga, the Red spy. Because of this fact he hesitated. What was it to ? rzan of the Apes what happened to her?

Usanga, burly leader of the mob, advanced with two of his warriors to palaver with the chief. After the details were settled, the newcomers were allowed to enter the village, Olga was shoved roughly into an unguarded hut. a i
