The Indian too. apparently knew that Smith would not be home. for he started a series of "whoops" that nearly frightened the little ones out of their skin. The quick- witted woman pulled up the ladder and then closed the trap leading to the attic.

For a time the red man amused himself by searching every nook and corner of the humble shack. Then he ate a hearty meal, after

that would doubtleu be a better contract than diamonds: and if East had to bid clubs, West then could decide whether to rescue in diamonds.

Actually. since East had a hand that was only s little short. of opening-bid requirements. he made the shrewd response of a cue bid in the opponents' suit, on- nouncing a hand which was as good as it could be in the light. of his previous pass. Then. on the next round. East showed his dia- mond suit. and West. was quite satlstled with s four-diunond contract.
