Winning Contract By T FOUR ACES. i, Brace e, o ‘ou id Jacoby, and Inll& ling team-of-four, Schenken, world's les Viventors of the system that has beaten Gvery other system in existence.) Resourceful! Today’s hand almost turned out to be a terrific disappointment to South. He certainly held a fine hand and after his partner had shown hearts, it looked as though a slam was far from remote. As the bidding developed, South, of course, could have doubled his op- ponents’ four-spade contract, but decided that a “sure” rubber was to be preferred o a small penalty. To his surprise, West doubled the five-club contract and after the sin- gleton heart opening it appeared that South was in imminent danger of being set. West, dealer. North and South vulnerable. a73 The bidding: West. North., Pass Pass 1 29 44 Pass Pass Dbl Pass Pass West's defensive campaign was well thought out. He reasoned: “Figst, I will lead my singleton ‘heart. - Then after wining a trump trick, I will put my partner on lead by underleading my spade ace and I will then be able to ruff the heart return.” Pondering as how to upset West's strategy, South saw a glimmering of light. After winning the hedrt opening he laid down the ace of trumps, then cashed three diamond tricks, discarding a spade from dummy. The fourth diamond was then played and, as South hoped, West held the jack. South dis- carded the remaining spade from dummy, allowing West to win the trick, but now East could not obtain the lead and the contract was safe, due to South’s resourceful play.

Score 100 per cent for pass, 70 per cent for four spades (a gamble that may turn out all right if part- ner has a good spade suit), nothing for any other bid. Question No. 431.

Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. “It must be I've waked up early,” said Johnny Chuck, rolling over and looking up the long dark hall which led from his bedroom up to his door= way. The hall was dark. It cer- tainly must be that he had waked up very early. He yawned sleepily, streched, and then curled up for another nap. By and by Johnny Chuck opened his eyes once more. It was just as dark as before. “What ails me to keep waking up in the night like this?” sajd Johnny, “I never have before. And my good- ness, how hungry I am!” Just then Johnny heard a sound that made him sit up so suddenly that he bumped his bead, for the roof of his bedroom is very low. “Ouch!” cried Johnny Chuck. ‘Then he hopped out of bed and without waiting to wash his face or comb his hair he started up the long hall toward his front door. He had heard Sammy Jay laughing fit to kill himself, and he knew that Sammy Jay never, never would be out there laughing in the night. It was still dark in the hall and out- side he could still hear Sammy Jay laughing. What could it mean? Finally Johnny Chuck reached his doorway. It was all covered up with hay and that was why the hall was dark. Johnny pushed the hnmuuuwwm-mdm The bright sunlight made him blink. b I1%6 A Gooo THING For.

'| FOR THE LOVE Y OH, I WAS OVER OF MIKE,WHAT | TO MY GIRL'S HOUSE AND HER FATHER THREW St Jay screamed louder than ever with laughter. Johnny blinked and blinked and Sammy Jay laughed and laughed. Johnny looked up at jolly, round, red Mr. Sun. He was almost overhead. Usually he was just beginning to climb the blue, blue sky when Johnny Chuck came out for his breakfast. “Ch, you sleepy-head!” shouted Sammy Jay. Johnny Chuck looked sheepish, but ke couldn’t s4y & word, for here it was the middle of the day and he J hadn’t had breakfast yet. Just then along came Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy looked most dis- reputable. He certainly did. His clothes were tumbled and rumpled and dirty. And Jimmy was 5o sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open. Evidently he had been out all night. . “Have you seen anything of my house?” asked Jimmy Skunk. “What!” exclaimed Johnny Chuck. “T asked you if you had seen any- thing of my house; have you?” re- \ By Frank Beck By John Lardner and Grant Powers g WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR WIVES FOR A FRIEND, BUT THIS 15 ——— YES MAM, JEST AS SOON AS 1 G MY WILLIAM OF MY MIND 1\ A PIECE v/ I'M VISITIN' MY PEOPLE OVER TH’ WEEK END AND I KNOW HE'LL BE MAKIN' A FOOL MEANWHILE, BOHGDU, WHO TARZAN'S AID HAD ~| [RUN AFOUL OF THE LEOPARD.

Johnny stared at Jimmy for a full minute. “Are you crazy, Jimmy Skunk?” he asked. “How shquld I see anything of your house when I've just got up? Besides, houses don’t run away.” “Mine has,” replied Jimmy mourn- fully. “And I want to find it and 80 to bed,” he added. . Sammy Jay, who had been listen- ing, laughed louder than ever, and oven J Chuck smiled. “Wail [/ SURE! I WENT BACK SIXTIMES AND EACH TIME HE o OF HISSELF AS SOON AS I'M OUTTA HIS SIGHT.

So0 Johnny Chuck got something to eat and then he followed Jimmy Skunk up the Crooked Little Path to the top of the hill. “Right here’s where I left my house, but now it isn't here,” said Jimmy mourntully. Johnny Chuck looked around. No hard. Then he began to dig away the sand, and there was a stone fill- ing up the doorway of Jimmy Skunk’s house. Together they pul- led it out, and Jimmy Skunk crept in, almost too sleepy to say thank you. “I wonder who did it,” said Johnny Chuck. Then he found a footprint. A great light broke over Johnny Chuck. “Bobby Coon
