the Lnafmmstion cited, he and he alone, can make the proper de- cision as to the best contract. This is -sheer nonsense on the face of things, but let's forget generalities 4.0 examine a specific effect.

After North announced possess- ion of the club ace, West, whg had almost indenticai holdings in clubs and hearts and who would, in the normal cour8e, have had to make an out-and-out guess between the lnvo suits for his opening lend. de- cided thut the heart suit uttered greater defensive opportunities and therefore led the heart three. That was the end of declareﬂs chances! The heart ace was knocked out be- fore diamonds could be set up. and since the club finesse for the queen failed (when South made a frantic effort to salvage the contract) the slam actually was defeated two tricks.

If North had not been bound by the ace-showing system he would have responded with two spades, and then East would have had s

Interrogation at the Yard

"Where are we going. may I ask?" The solicitor seated in the back of the police car broke a long silence with his question.

“To Scotland Yard." repliIrLX-l limore. "So far you have not formally preferred a charge against me," the solicitor went on. “This arrest is wholly illegal." "So are‘quitc a lot of things, ‘Mr. Roliiter."

"What i-s the charge? I am nat- urally curious."

Mr. Macdonnld said printing delays in connection with prepa- ration of public accounts had

i “If you say s01" f "How did you find out about the bungalow?" l-‘toliiter persisted.

"A little bird whispered."

"Someone must ltave zi-ven it away,“ Rolilier said almost i0 him- self, in an ugly tone. “Fernandez? Wm it Fernandez?"

"Yo-u will doubtless due course." -

Rulllter relapsed into s silence which remained unbroken until lthey were passing through the outer suburbs when he said, as if he were thinking aloud: "It may be better to tell the truth."

' "The thought may have occurred ‘to other people," Dollimore point- i ed out. I “Sol The rat has squealedl I lthought he would." > "Rats do squeal," Doilimore said, "It's one of their habits" l At Scotland Yard the prisoners ttverc taken to different rooms and Doliimore was asked to report at once to the Assistant Commission- cr.

“Good work. Dolilmore." the Chief greeted him. "Si; dawn. Bo far we've no evidence at all against them as far as the murder is con- cerned." He had plunged at once into the middic of the affair.

"But a very strong presumptive use. sir." Dollimora replied.

"Yes. Strong enough to justify ar- rests. We have evidence that Roi- li/tcr was endeavouring lo obtain motley by false pretences, that hc forged Lewins name on a receipt. after he was dead. We found that among his papers at his office this evening. In any case, Car-dew IS wanted by the American police for nturder and we have definite evi- dence that Pachmann and Fernan- dez kidnapped Miss Stenni-ng —t.he evidence of the lady herself."

The telephone rang: "Yes, speak- ing," the Chief said. "Good work. Durros. Stick at. it. W; may want every scrap of definite evidence.“

“He has found the Inland Rev- enue affidavit made out, by Roilitet in connection with Mrs. Lewinb estate," he said as he replaced the receiver. "That may be useful."

"I fancy Rolliter thinks that Fer- nandez has squealed," Dolllmore suggested. "He has no idea how we got on to that bungalow."

“We'll have Fernandez in first," the A. C. decided.

The Chief touched a bell and ni- most at once the swarthy mana- ger of the Mossford County Club was brought in,

"Bluffi" snapped Fernandez. ‘

“We shall see. Your friends R01- liter and Cardew are here, by the way."

Femandez started.

"They were arrested this even- ing qt their burtgalow-whafs its name?"

"Helmshookﬂ said Dolllmore. “In Frithden St. Mary."

Fernandez watched them in sil- ence.

"Rather a neat hide-out, I thought," Doiiimore put in. “Only a mile or so from the club, Fernan- dez."

"Arid Rolliter knows when to throw in the sponge." the Chief went on. "You murdered the old lady -the moment the new: came through that her son was dead."

"I never murdered herl" Fernan- dez burst out.

The Chief shrugged his shoulders: "In mtglish law, one who aids and abets a criminal is as guilty as the criminal. I didn't, nteutl that you had actually struck the blow which killed her-that is a matter of no particular importance. But you were there, and you knew that Rolliter and Flash Cardew were there, and you knew why they were there. Why did you kidnap Miss Stenning?" the question was asked so quietly that Fernandez was tak- en by surprise.

"I am saying nothing," he burst out.

"Very good. You have already been warned. of course. We'll get on with the statements front the others, Dolllmore. Mrs. Lewes, I fancy. is simply bursting with her story."

“Look hero. " Fernandez said- uncertainlyu "It's entirely up to you. You

know as well as I. do that 1 hwe no power to attempt to make you talk --and frankly I don't care whether you do or not. It means. though, as far as I can see, that you will probably be left with the baby."

"I had no hand in the murderl Fltssh Cardew did it. I was down- stairs in the dance~room and my office the whole evening. Mr. Dol- ‘limore knows it."

"I know you said you were there,"

Dollimore put in. “You couiti get -

from your office without coming through the dance-room and with- out my seeing you at all."

"How do you knuw who did it if you~ were not there?" the Chief asked. T

"Roiliter and Cardew were in my office. They went upstairs. I didn't see them afterwards. The next I heard was that Miss Sten- ning had found the body. They came down thug night to do 1t. The son was dead in Paris."
