NOW GO ON WITH Till: STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE fContinued) F'URTHER investigation assured her that the young man had come from the factory. He was clad in overalls, a blue shirt, and wore no necktie. His arms were smoothly tanned, as if work kept him a great deal in the open. Sheila wished that she could see his face, but he was lying with his COMTIACT BRIDGE BV W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge league IT is remarkable what a wealth of inferences can be exchanged by a series of constructive bids at a low level. If players will make their own bids carefully and draw nil possible inferences from their partner’s bidding, each of them should be able to make an accurate diagram of his partner’s hand without ever seeing the cards. . Today's hand occurred in a recent match at the Cleveland Whist ‘ '•hib and is a good example of the thoroughness with which one over one biciding reveals the distribution.

The Ridding; South bid one diamond and North one heart, a one over one force. South replied with one spade another one over one force. North’s next bid was two clubs. To the uninitiated these might sound like denials, but the one over one system does not use weak takeouts and each of the above bi Is shows new high card, or distributional, values. , At this point four constructive bids have been made and both partners know that the bidding will not stop short of game. South now' bid two diamonds and North two hearts—each one thereby guaranteeing a five-card suit. South’s next bid of tw r o spades was most illuminating, for it gave an accurate count of his distribution. The spades must be at least five cards to be rebiddable, and the diamond suit, having been bid first, thereforf* must contain six cards. This leaves only two clubs or hearts. The bidding proceeded North three diamonds. South four clubs. North four hearts, and at this point each partner can count practically each card in the other hand. B B B North’s three diamond bid showed at least three of that suit and South's assist in clubs showed that his two unidentified cards must both be clubs. , Furthermore, he certainly would not assist the suit on two small, and therefore he must have the king and one. South now knew that North can count him void of hearts, so North’s third rebid of that suit must indicate a holding as good as six to the ace king. Therefore, South positively could count in the North hand six hearts headed by the ace king, four clubs headed by the ace queen or ace jack, and three diamonds, and the hand obviously could contain no 6pades at all. North could read his partner for six diamonds, five spades, the king and one club and no hearts. With every significant card thus located, and the distribution counted perfectly, the bidding inevitably proceeded to seven diamonds. The Hay Against any lead but a trump, South could take two hearts, two clubs, and nine diamonds, making each one separately by means of a * cross-ruff. However, West wisely opened a trump and the declarer was obliged to plan his play differently. He allowed diftnmy's seven to hold the first trick and led the ace and king of hearts, discarding two small spades. He next ruffed a heart with the eight of trump and entered dummy again by ruffing a spade. Another heart lead established two good hearts on which to discard the king and jack of spades, and after the remaining trumps were drawn, the ace of clubs served as the neees- ‘ farv entry. tCoevrisht. 1935. bv NEA Service.

head toward her. His blond hair, which was almost gold colored, was the only part of his head that was visible. Presently, without moving, the young man drew a package of lunch from his overall pocket and began eating. The baseball game was evidently a good one. Shouts arose frequently and flying figures sped around the diamond in whirls of dust. Then there was a lull and another player came to bat. There was the sharp sound of the impact of the bat and the ball, a roar, and then a black speck against the sky. The ball dropped sharply within a dozen yards of Sheila s feet. It bounded and dropped again in a tangle of green vines. The crowd rushed across the field to the roadside. nun Sheila was wondering if she should find the ball and toss it back, thus protecting her solitude from interruption, when the young man rose to his elbow and, turning, faced her. I "Did that ball strike you?” he asked. She shook her head, ‘‘No, but I wish you’d find it. I like it here | and I don’t want all those men tramping about looking for it. It’s i somewhere among those vines.” The young man rose, stamped about in the thick tangle, found the ball and tossed it well into the center of the field. Then he looked toward her again. ‘‘You should be pitching sot them,” Sheila said. “That was a grand throw.’ He laughed, settling himself once more on the mossy bank, this time facing her. “Maybe you do a few things well yourself,” he hazarded. “Don’t we all?” she asked gayly. He shrugged slightly. “ I don’t know. However. I do know there j aren't many girls who can dance as well as you do, Sheila Shayne.” n n u CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX OHEILA could not hide her surprise “You know me?” she asked. The young man laughed. “Indeed I do! Don’t mind if I move over a little nearer, do you?” He rase to his feet, crossed the patch of mossy bank and sat down near | Sheila. “But I don’t understand—” She j began. “How I knew you? Well, for one ! thing, I’ve seen you on the stage ! every night this week. I'll be there | tonight, too—that is, if I may.” “You’ll have to take that up with j the man in the box office,” Sheila j observed. He laughed easily. “Oh, I’ll do | that!” “How did you recognize me if I you’ve only seen me on the stage in costume?” “I happened to see you as you were leaving the stage door last night. Asa matter of fact, I’ve waited there each evening. Just to see you, yoy know. I didn’t dare hope that you’d have supper with me or anything like that.” “No?” Her voice was cool, not encouraging. “What would be like having supper with you, for example?’ He smiled. “Doing it again. Would you try it—this evening? That is,” he hesitated, "if you haven't an engagement.” . “Usually I eat with some of the others from the show. And we don’t spend a lot of time sitting and talking afterward. My work is hard, you know. I need my rest.” “You don’t make it seem hard,” the young man said after a moment. “You are like thistledown. You're—oh, you're wonderful! But then you know how I feel about you. What do you think of me?” “I think that you’re wasting a good deal of valuable time,” said Sheila slowly. But her smile belied the words. u u u HE nodded, seriously. “I know. Time that belongs to my employer.” He pointed to the red brick buildings across the wide field. "Still, he gives us time for lunch, you know.” “Someone told me those houses there were built for the factory employes. They are attractive, aren't they? Do you live in one?” “I live on the other side town. I haven’t had this job long—although it seems rather long to me. In July it will be a year.” He paused, gazing at the palms of his hands. “Tough work, too, in hot weather. Are you going to have supper with me tonight?” Sheila admitted to herself that she liked him. He was self-confi-dent, without being over-assured. He was attractive, too, yet apparently was not aware of it. What was he doing working in a i factory? He had the face of a welli bred, educated young man to whom a white-collar job would seem better suited. Vaguely she felt that in a job demanding brawn and endurance he was out of place. A whistle blew and obediently the young man arose, twisting the sack in which he had carried his lunch into a ball and tossing it into the brook. He watched it bobbing along on the surface of the water until it finally disappeared. “I have to go now,” he said. “That I leaves the brook entirely at your disposal. I wish I could talk to you ; longer. It’s back to the looms, J though, for me. Would you really be willing to have supper with me tonight? I have a cheap little car, ! but it can travel pretty well. Maybe you wouldn't mind riding in it. Will you?” “Well—l’ll see.” He paused a moment, uncertainly. All right. I’ll be there, anyhow. Please, don't turn me down!” Sheila watched as he hurdled the fence and disappeared across the field. Yes, she liked him. She I found herself wondering what his name might be, tried to think of one , that would suit him.

Tarzan, speeding through the jungle, left behind him an awakened and terrified village of cringing blacks, who would forever after connect that eerie cry of his with the disappearance o# their white prisoner and the death of their fellowwarrior.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Meanwhile Olga, the spy, hurrying through the same jungle along a well-beaten game trail, thought only of putting as much distance as possible between herself and the village, before daylight could permit pursuit of her. Whither she was going she did not know.

Nor did her destination matter much to her, since death must be her lot sooner or later. Fortune favored her that night, for she passed unscathed through the most savage and lion-ridden section of all Africa.

She had fled for two .hours through this hunting ground, which white man had not discovered, when her attention was arrested by the sound of animals moving about, muttering and growling close ahead. Fearful of new peril, she climbed into a large tree x
