A A A A A A a TWENTY THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN. ASHEVILLE. N. FRIDAY, 'APRIL 12. 1935 CONTRACT BRIDGE World's Champion Player And Greatest Card Analyst By Ely Culbertson No doubt, in the last few days, you have noticed some unusual bidding in the I I I I I match at the Crockford's Club.

And, those versed in the Culbertson System feel the bidding does not run true to form. That will show they have not kept up with the changes in the system as outlined in the 1935 streamlined model. It is most important to reach every possible slam and one of the new ideas in our bidding method is the Jump-Trump Rebid, showing a solid or nearsolid suit. For instance, in reSponse to a two heart opening, partner bids two spades, indicating fairly strong hand. At once slam looms up.

To show that the heart suit has not more than one missing honor, the opener will jump to four hearts. This response conveys a volame of information, especially when partner holds an honor in the opening suit. Knowing there are no losers in hearts, the responding hand can use the conventional Four or Five Notrump call, assist the hearts, show another suit or rebid spades to show length, without setting the side beyond its depth. "A COMEDY OF 1378 JUMP TRUMP REBID the spades since heart support can he shown later. 2-A fine bid.

North can practically guarantee a slam opposite a hand containing a forcing rebid. The Play West opened the club trey and East's Queen forced out declarer's Ace. The Jack of spades was led, followed by the Ace of diamonds and a diamond ruffed. The Ace and King of spades atforded a club discard, West ruffing the King. Had West returned a trump at this point, declarer would have had no play for the contract.

With any other return, however, a cross-ruff yields rest of the tricks. West led the King of clubs, and declarer made the slam. Declarer's best play for the contract is to cash the Jack of spades after winning the club, take the Ace and ten of hearts, and run the spades immediately it trumps do not break. Since trumps do break in this hand, the latte trump should be drawn and spades run. By this method of play, a spade break gives declarer twetve top tricks with the diamond finesse for the, thirteenth.

Since the spades do not break, however, declarer has a diamond finesse for the twelfth trick.

R. PaL 4-12-35 Copyright, 1930, by Chicago GYPSY GIRL THE STORY OF AN IMPASSIONED ROMANCE McDONALD MA READ THIS FIRST: Consuelo, beautiful gypsy girl who longs to dance, is loved by the Dummy, deaf mute, and Mareu. She despises her mother, Anica, but is fond of her father, Girtza. Marcu tempts Consuelo with a huge diamond and she agrees to marry him until she suspects her gypsy sweetheart has tricked her about the ring's value. In town she sees three men playing cards near a private car on a railroad siding.

She dances for them. Much impressed. one of the men, Stewart Blackmire, New York theatrical producer, promises to return In 10 give Consuelo pair of slippers. Maren bargains with Girtza for his daughter's hand. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 16 Marett held out his purse with the gold pieces and the finely made watch that had been his mother's.

"The colt I will hitch to the end of your wagon." "It 18 good." Girtza counted the money and handed back the empty purse to Marcu. "Consuelo," he shouted, although it was not necessary, for the girl was sitting near him, her untouched breakfast plate in her lap. "Consuelo, come put your hand in this man's. When he has given 1110 three horses he will be your master. Come, my child." Consuelo rose, and like one In stupor, came to Marcu and placed her hand in his.

The diamond, shitting in all its loveliness, was upon her finger. Then it was that the eypeles raised -By Hal Forrest. THAT IS THE ONLY CHANCE LEFT FOR WE MUST ACT. PRONTO a shout and threw their scarfs into the air and Petru picked up his flute and played. All the gypsies gathered 111 a circle around them and danced and sang.

Mateu stood as proud as king and his heart near burst within him. He glanced down at the girl, but she, like well-behaved promised one. looking down and 110 one saw her eyes. Gaily the camp went about the morning tasks. The gypsies' voices were loud with discussion of the coming event and jests were made and laughter came light and easy and other of the young men began to flirt more openly with the young gypsy girla.

So the monotony of the Inst hot summer days was stirred Into life and it was more like spring than autumn. Money WAS produced from belts that had boasted of none, Kegs of beer were bought. There were SCArVeS and Inexpensive jewelry presented to the girl. Some one gave Marcu a new knife, Its steel blade shining, its handle pure Ivory. The news leaked into town.

Curtosity aroused. A gypsy wedding. Did they, really get married? Smith's grocery store offered five gallons of hard cider if Smith, wife and family might be permitted to witness the ceremony. The promise of cider was accepted. Other gorgias also nounced their intention of coming whether they were invited or not.

For two days Marcu disappeared and when he came back, dusty and tired, he was riding young sorrel and lending a mare heavy with colt. He rode up to Girtza and said: BUT THE RISK-: IT DANGEROUS- "Here are your three horses." How the gypsies laughed! Girtza pulled at his long beard and spat on ground and said that it was not the bargain. But Marcu WAS Insistent. The gypsies stopped laughing. Perhaps there WAS some sense in what he said.

They felt of the mare and nodded and talked with one another. "It will not be longer than three days before she foals. Perhaps only two." All morning the discussion kept up and in the end Girtza agreed to accept the mares and the unborn colt and they set. the wedding at three days hence to live OBO the bargain, for they were CAMP the opinion that the mare would not carry longer than the three days. The new assurance the Dummy had taken on after the fight with Marcu vanished.

He put the olls AWAY in his box and his brushes lay Idle. He kept out of the merrymaking, for with the opening of the beer, It had already started. His dark eyes were shrouded with heaviness. his face pale under the tawny skin. his slim fingers restless, but he could not paint.

Laughing heads on canvas? Ah, no. He had not the heart for them. He drew a small sketch of her in black, a veil about her head, her clothes of somber hue, her body hidden. Only A bare throat and a pale face with eyes cast down wete vialNe. So had she looked him when the gypsies made the betrothal eircle, But when he had finished the picture he could not bear the THEY WOULD NOT THE BOAST SO -I THIS LET US LEAVE THIS AH-H- IT IS PLACE --1 BELIEVE -AND WE ARE BEING DOMINGO WATCHED PLANNED FORREST- -By Wally Bishop TSK!

His heart was heavy with bitter11055. The blood throbbed in his temples and he cursed his dead lips, If he could talk, it he could hear, Consuelo would be his. But what right had he to fight for her, A half dead man AS he WAS. Oh. God, why hadn't he been born blind that he might never have seen her lovellness.

could never have dreanted of her, never have desired her until lite itself was not worth while without her. Then he cursed himself for a fool and beat his hands against his breast. "If. there is God in the heaven, let Him forgive me--1 and he fell to his knees and gave thanks that he was not blind. And the artist soul of him gave thanks for her beauty, but it did not heal his sore heart.

He went back to the camp And Joined in with the others. Because his eyes were dark and forbidding, the gypsies did not joke with him because he had not won the girl. He drank beer with them, but it did not lift the cloud of his sorrow. One of the men showed a battik kerchief he had made for Consuelo. The Dummy had given her nothing.

Had been so concerned with himself that he had not thought of it. Now the time WAS growing short, only this afternoon and tomorrow left, Then she would be a bride. He must have a gift for her. Something beautifulsomething beautifulHe left the group and hastened Into the town. It took him an hour to buy a piece of white silk.

He ran back to camp, the sweat rolling down his body. Feverishly he unwrapped the paints and brushes and stretched the silk on board. The heat of the afternoon sun poured down upon him, but he worked like one possessed. The oils took shape. He forgot the merrymakers; forgot the bitter hurt within him.

Creation was pulsing through his Angers to 3 Institutions Aided By Duke Endowment 58 162 40 00 take form. The sun seemed to fly on wheels of flaming gold toward the hills, but still he worked. The call came for dinner. He WAS not missed. The purple shades of twilight came down to the hills.

He worked on. The light did not matter now. He could have closed his eyes and kept on working, 50 well did his mind portray the picture he was putting upon the white silk. Now the last sweep of the brush. Darkness settled down.

the hushed expectant darkness before the moon. Only the shadowy figures in the distance showed against the glow from the campfire. The oils on the erude palette began to run and blend together. The moon rose and touched the darkness with silver and fell upon the square of silk, lacing it with shadows from the leaves of the tree above it. Exhausted, the Dummy fell into sleep, He was sitting 111 A great forest and the girl beside him.

He was talking to her, telling her of his love. and his voice was sweet and good. She answered him and he heard. He held her close to him and buried his lips in the shroud o. her raven hair.

He whispered all the things that had been in his heart so long. Finally she lay in sleep, her head upon his arm and the painted piece of silk A covering for her. The moon had gone down when he awoke. He wAs cold. The grass WAS covered with dew.

The leaves 0g the tree bent heavy above him. With aching muscles he rose to his feet. The silk WAS wet from the dew. For long time he stared down at the thing which he had created as if now he WAS seeing it for the Arst time, and it was beautiful. A shawl for this girl he loved.

He crept beside the bonfire, ting fuel upon it, and warmed his chilled body. The camp WAS very silent except for the snores of the men. His eyes traveled to the van FOREST CITY, April 11.

He went close and for an instant looked down upon her face, the black hair in tangled curls around her shoulders. Many times he had seen her in sleep, but never had she looked so beautiful to him. HIs dream, the girl asleep against his shoulder. He went back to the Are and sat down. He bent his head wearily and tears, tional, rolled down his cheeks and ho was not ashamed of them, Shortly before noon the Dummy gave the shawl to the girl, his lips smiling.

The gypsies crowded round, hushed at the thing they saw, staring nt the beauty of it arose the babble of sound, tions of delight, of envy. Consuelo let him put the shawl about her shoulders. She did not speak, but her eyes thanked him. In the confusion of the wedding rations no one noticed that the girl had not spoken these many but had been sullen and brooding surely no WAy for a promised one to act. For long moment the Dummy stared into her eyes, then he turned and left her.

He nad done the thing he wanted. She had no lovelier gift. His outer sense WAS satisfed, but the Inner part of his being wan more lonely thinn ever. (TO BE CONTINUED).
