Dummy ruffed. of couse. but declarer soon found that he was doomed to lose an- other diamond trick. It goes without saying that South could have made the con- tract easily by leading a low dia- mond from dummy, thus knock- ing out East's blank ace without sacrificing an honor, but this par- ticular matter was a sheer guess! -there was as much chance that the diamond ace lay blank in West's hand as in Eastis. The correct line of play was to elimi- nate all the clubs and hearts in the North-South hands by cross- ruffing with high trumps, then to draw the outstanding trumps, and finally to lead the diamond. Under this plan. a blank ace in either East or West would not matter, because the defender would have to return a side suit. and this would let South discard a di- mond while he ruffed in the op- posite hand.

Players will find that it is I good idea to "strip" such hands as this before touching the key

si suit. merely as a matter of Hood general technique.

The door of the log house was slung wide and a thin column of smoke struggled from the chimney and ascended towards the clouds.- The odor of pancakes filled the morning air. Oh how good they smelt! Pancakes were Dannie's favorite morning meal-pancakes andmush and milk. Before he reach ed the house Mrs. MacDonald tram ed herself in the doorway. She was a kindly soul and her presence rad- iated unshine-

"How is your mother this morn- ing, Dannie?" she called out in a voice that was tender and full of genuine affection.

”Mother's better, thank you, Mrs. MacDonald, but our fire went out last night; it was my fault."
