add to their herd. It is no trouble at all for Rob to lind plausible ex- cuse ior these acquirements. whi;-h irom this point or view means an- other duty added to his already ‘busy round.

And besides “that cow always has a good one‘ and “We an ideal time or year to raise them-you ieed them along and almost before you realize it. they are out oi your care. and onto the pasture!"

Murder Gould liotliill

"Matter oi iact." he said. “I didn't want to hurt the poor dev‘l‘:i ieelings. but that iellow who was driving you was completely in the wrong. quite apart irom this old dame that I dodged. liellol 0:2. damn!"

The exclamation came irom hlm in tones or intense exasperation as the car seemed to lose way. H-2 thrust several times at his clutch

and manoeuvred his levers, out the car still slowed down. "sorry." he remarked. as he

turned the vehicle into the side. "i won't be a second. 1 think I know what it is." he added briskly. "Just sit tight". He slipped out at the oil door and, whistling blithely. walked round the trout door and. opening the door just beside Rob- in. He leaned iorward to lllt some- thing irom the iloor—and in a iiash Robin ielt his throat gripped and himseli backwards over the swaying seat. Beiore he could realize it he was lying on the rider or the car with the other bendiiis over him. steadily choking him with a hand that seemed made oi steel. Robin's ielt hand had been [ripped as he was pitched backwards. and it was now pinned under his ag- gi-essor's ielt knee. lie seized tn.- restrainlng wrist with his right hand and wrenched irantically. but could make not the slightest l:\'i- pression. He endeavoured to raise his legs. but his ieet were jammed and held down by the two seats. l-le ielt his senses going, and with his right hand struck with all hi‘! strength at the lace above him. The owner oi it merely thrust his head iorwaxd out at reach and con- tinued to squeeze Robin's throat.

The place had been well choscn. There was little traffic at that side of St. .lame‘s Park. and from ri passing car the spectacle or a man. with one leg in and one out. stoop- ing inside a saloon car. would ap- pear so commonplace that it would cause no comment.

Too late Robin realized that he had walked into a trap. Not lar irom him a whole battalion oi soldiers were quartered. ignorant that murder was being slowly enacted almost at their gates. This reilect- ion intruding surprisingly into his anguished mind. somehow spurred him to iresh resistance. He wing- gled. twisted. stuck—but the implac- able iigure above him seemed only to increase the diabolical strength or his grip. In a ilnal desperate eitort—Robin almost irectured his ankle as he made it-he wrench.-d his right leg iree and kicked inn- tically at the panel oi the cii-side door. The door gave. it swung open and was almost immediately wrenched clean irom its bearing try a passing car which, ‘with a shout irom its driver, the clash oi shu- tered glass and a wild screech oi brakes, pulled up a short distance beyond. Robin heard a savage curse and the grip on his throat was laxed. His assilant straightened himself and stood quite calmly out- side the car.

Robin lay ior a brie!’ second al- most incapable oi movement. than, as his breath returned. he re- covered hlmseli somewhat and npushed his right foot out of -he oil’-side doorless entrance and res?- ed it on the ground. He brought his other leg round and sat on me ilocr oi the car ior a moment, in- ldiiicrent to what might happ-ii. ilvleclianically he reached back ior 'iiis hat. stood up in the road smoothed his collar and clothes, and moved round towards the other side oi the car. He stopped at the bonnet.

A iew yards away he iound a leather-laced. grey—haired woman with a lighted clguette in a long holder in her hand. violently u‘)- yurgating his assailant. He, hw- ing also lighted a cigarette. “'59 listening in bland silence to her amazing volubility. apparently con.- 'tent to wait ior her to stop. He took in Robin with a single glance. but otherwise paid him no attent- ion. The iellmv‘s sangirold compel- led Robin's respect, despite tl‘i0 murderous assault. The door lay iarther on the cannon on the road- way and hall’ on the path. while farther on the car oi the irate lady 1 stood with a bent mudguard and ii badly-bashed bonnet to bcar witnsss to the result oi his lucky kick. His iirst impulse was to wait until this polished-looking gentle- man was disengaged irom his pre sent pressing business and resume physical contact with him on iairer terms. but even in his wrath hi- ieailzed he had more important iactors to consider than his own personal inclination. ' who had inspired this murderous attack on him? who but Ht!!!‘ L23- aing? His reilectionl about tiiat gentleman instantly crystallised. He was convinced it had been no mere

; Jacosv on Canasta

For Beginners - :1

When you put down the seventh card or a canastl. you are supposed to close it up. This means that you put the cards oi the canasta in a little pile so that only the top card can be seen.

Anybody may ask you to open the canaata up at that time so that he can get a look at the cards used in it. when the next player begins his play, however, the can- asta. must stay closed until the and ot the hand.

The chief point about leaving the canasta closed is that you can't tell how many wild cards it contains. Incidentally, it also helps keep the table neat, because a closed canasta takes up less room than a meld that is still spread open.

In leaving a card at the top or the canasta, you always choose a natural card; never a wild card. You can therefore tell at a glance the denoirilnation oi the canaata.

ii the canasts consists of will natural cards. you leave a red card at the top. It the canasta incudes one or more wild cards. you leave a black card at the top. Once in a. great while vou have only four red cards and three wild cards, but even than I black card is event- ually available to put at the top 01 the canasta.

Save these simple insta‘lments. it you're a beginner. you'll soon be able to proiit irom the tips given in the second part of each aricle. ii you're an experienced ‘player. save the ilrst half to teach the game to others.

For Experienced Players - 21

"Are you allowed to count the cards in the stock pile?” asks a St. Louis readei. “At a friend's home recently one of the players tried to lift the cards out or the tray and count them. We stopped him. but he was quite annoyed. Was he right?" Yes. That is. iie had the right to count the cards. I won't say whe- ther or not he was right to be an- noyed. At your turn to play you may count the cards in the stock pile. This is never necessary towards the beginning of a hand. when there may be iiity or sixty cards in the pile. The count may be very im- portant. however. towards the end oi a hand. when the pile may con- tain only about ten or fifteen cards. When counting the cards. it. is all right to-liit them right out oi the tray. It is. of course, vital to handle the cards with care. so as to make sure that no card is seen by any player.

incidentally, a player never has the right to count the cards in the discard pile. The r'ght that we have been dirciissing applies only to the stock pile.

This satellite oi l..esslng‘s could be dealt with subsequently; there would be little diiiiculty in laying hands on him later. even ii the name and address he was using wem iictitious.

In due course he reached the end or Birdcage Walk. stepped on to the road and had iieariy attained the other side or the crossing into Great George Street when a car. driven iuriously. shot out 0! Prince street like a ilash and swerved swiitly towards him. Oii_ly by an incredibly quick jump was be able to meet the pavement and safety. As it was, he stumbled and ieli iorward.

Still on his knees. lie glanced to his ielt and recognized in the :;:ir rapidly disappearing in the dll‘e:n- ion oi the Horse Guards Parade the same vehicle that in those pint iew minutes had been the cause ci so much excitement and pe‘ll "Heavens!" he reflected with re- luctant admiration, "that one de- serves lull marks. He's a sticker-l"

A passer-by helped him to his ice; and offered the usual comment on motoring manners. Robin thanked him. and muttering under his bresth."I think the only sale place ior me to-day is a collar,"

‘ ‘ towards ' ‘ Yard.

Hi: entry there was duly noted, and speedily thereaiter was re- ported to Peter Leasing.

That individual received the news in savage silence. with baleiul eye: he stared at his lniormant. the driver or the car who had made the attempts on Robin's liie.

cola, here's another reader to beg a favor of you. The man oi the house shot some game recently to make a subject ior discussion in the family, which leaves us no nearer to its identity. Some have it that it is an owl, while the others are bound it is a hawk. So we're leaving it to you to settle the matter — it you can possibly iden- tliy the bird by what I‘m afraid will not be a very concise des- crlption oi the same!

One foggy evening or last week. near to dusk, it was. that Mond- husband irom the “back-stoop" picked the bird oi! the ridge-pole oi the barn with a “22". and s marksmanship he was modest ‘about; but which to his wile, was quite heat. as the distance was Iapproxiinately a hundred dusky yards!
