By Joeenhirsa Cnlberteon T00 GOOD A PROPHET

"I just know I'm going to guez: this one wrong!“ groomed the de- clarer in today's hand. He was a good prophet but a poor bridge player-if he had piayedthe hand properly, it would have been un- neces sy to guess at. all.

The wntract was reasonable. and the North-South pair did well to avoid the tempting but quite im- possible game at notrump.

West opened the king of spades and shifted to a. trump when he saw dummyﬂs singleton. Declares‘ drew two rounds of trumps and then stared hard at each of his opponents. as though hoping that the holder of the diamond queen would identify himself.

That examination having proved futile. declarcr stared at the ceiling for a few seconds. Then he led e4 diamond to dummyb king and (messed a diamond return. Natur- ally. West took his queen of dia- monds, and East later got the ace of hearts to set. the contract.

If South had stared at the dummy a little more and at his surround- lms a little less, he might have seern the correct line of play. After drawing two rounds of trumps he should have led a heart from his hand. If West held the ace of hearts and played it, the rest of dummy's hearts would furnish discards for three of South's diamonds; and if West held the ace and failed to play it. South would lose no heart trick and could afford to misgucss the diamond.

Even though in this case the ace of hearts was in the East hand. nothing oould have been lost. The m1 of the heart ten would still kive South three diamond discards

“Oh. Bing!" she began quickly. her heart anguished by the rlis- covery. But she stopped and bit. her lip. That was not what she should say, she knew. "I don't see how you found me." she murmur- ed. merely temporlzing.

Her heart was beating furiously. She felt it in her throat, at her! temples. Her eyes still gazed up‘ into his. utterly tmbelleving. She. could not say a word. '

They went up over the stairs so, past mysterious doors to her own. “This it?" he asked.

“Please _ please -you mustn't." she kept saying. but only to her- self.

“What makes you think I don't know?" .

"But you couldn't posslblyn" she told him swiftly.

“But. 1 do." he assured her.

There was that in his voice that made her stare at him, utterly be‘ wlldered -and absolutely adorable. She looked like a questioning child.
