"Hie wasne.‘ sure. But I've not time to waste talking." - By Friday the house was h 01"

Brereton was likely to enter —b\lt on the Friday ofieriiooti a curious thing happened. Miss McKechnle became ill

She was alone in the house- koepefs room when. reluctantly. she admitted it to herself. Her head was throbbing and she was inclrn-| ed to shiver. It worried Miss Mc-i Kechnie, who had not been lll fr" a decade and boasted that she had not ipaid a doctor's bill for twenty years. She decided that it was a chill/and that she would go to bed early and take a mixture of honey, lemon-juice and whisky which she had never known to fail in similar circumstances.

In the morning, however. was still shaky.

The cook, who was trighteened of her. noticed it, and mentioned the matter to Fossick. the garden- er

"So she's human, then." said Fos-

Tlicre was silence for a moment. “As .1 trial-let" ni Iacﬂ" added the gardener. "Dr. B&l'n\V€ll'5 coming in to see my wire this afternoon."

"I'm not feeling well," admitted Miss MeKet-hnie. "Ask him to look in and see me."

"A doctor's a doctor." said Miss Mr-Keclinie as she turned away. Fossick winked at’ the cook: "Rtmfuii. ain't she?" he said.

West's two-diamond bid was an CQ‘S.STENT- effort to throw dust in the oppon- ents’ eyes by making them fear a bad distribution: Actually, it wits silly, and had quite il,difl€"l'8l1l out- come. ..

'I‘he spade seven was the open- ing lead. Eost won with the king and laid down- the spade ace. De- clarer ruffed, and it was of course. obvious that the fiiic of tho con- tract rested utuorely on Qtltlésillg the position of lite trump queen. East's penalty double of five cltibs would lead many clc-clarers to feel that a finesse through East was called for, but this expert declare!‘ was not so naive.

East had bid spades, and had supported his partner's “phoity" diamond bid. Thus. it was highly likely that he hziti lll least eight cards in those two suits. He had already shown three hearts, and unless West had false-carded “hen he played the heart queen, East actually htid started with four
