PAGE FIVE SUSPENSETTE Short Story 1961 by NEA, I A Short THE THIEF By Chalmer Delong West Mr. Melvin was a likeable old who worked as a night watchman in a large department store. He was so kind that he even shared his sandwiches with the rats in the basement and the pigeons on the roof.

For many years he had been one of the most trusted employes with a long record for honesty. Then, after a series of personal misfortunes, consisting of betting on wrong, horses, he found himself deeply in debt. This was the moment when Mr. Melvin submitted to temptation. Like many thieves, Mr.

Melvin told himself that he would steal only enough to restore himself to solvency. After all, the store had been kind to him in supplying money for him to bet on horses, 80 why should he take it out on the store for losing? He made careful plans. First he built a false bottom in his lunch pail, in which he could hide small but valuable items such as wrist watches, transistor radios, small cameras and supplies, jewelry and silver. Then he began a series of thefts taking items in such a way that the store would suspect shoplifters rather than the kindly old night watchman. He disposed of his loot to friends and neighbors, explaining that he was able to obtain the goods at JACOBY ON BRIDGE By OSWALD JACOBY Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

When you open a doubleton, the standard rule is to open the top. When you open suit of three cards or more, you de open the third best from three and the fourth best from four or more unless you have certain high card combinations. Here is the table of high card leads against a suit contract: ace from suit headed by ace without the king. It is always dangerous to underlead an ace against a suit contract. Lead king from ace-king or king-queen.

Lead from queen-jackten or queen Lead jack from king-jack-ten, Jack-ten-nine, or jack-ten-eight. Lead ten from king-ten-nine, NORTH QJ10 A 1048 678 WEST EAST K7 42 AK 86. J85 KQ963 410 8 5 3. SOUTH (D) AJ1085 0975 East and West vulnerable South West North East Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Opening lead- queen-ten-nine, ten-nine-eight, or ten-nine-seven. West's opening lead of the king of hearts was both normal and effective.

East played his eight spot. This play of the higher card asks partner to continue the suit and this time it showed a doubleton. West continued and East ruffed the third lead. Since West still had to make his king of trumps the hand was down one. CARD Sence Q-The biding has been: North East South West 1 heart Pass 2 dia.

Pass 3 dia. Pass 3 spade Pass 3 N.T. You, South, hold: Spades AK42 Hearts 76 Dia. KQ974 Clubs Q2 What do you do? -Pass. You should prefer the nine trick no-trump game to an 11-trick diamond game.

TODAY'S QUESTION Instead of bidding three notrump. your partner has gone to four diamonds over your three spades. What do you do now? Answer Tomorrow He built a false bottom in his lunch pail a discount and could sell them at a great saving. He realized this was risky business, he believed he was clever enough to escape detection until he recouped his small but precious personal fortune. won't make a permanent habit of this," he said, and he thought he meant it.

However well Mr. Melvin's path was paved with good intentions, it led nowhere. He did not quit when he was even. He did not quit when he was ahead. At both of these stopping points, he obeyed his urge to go on, to protect himself against possible misfortunes of the future.

He did not consider getting caught on of these possible misfortunes because no one seemed to suspect him. Thus he continued his dishonest pursuit. Thefts were, as Mr. Melvin intended, attributed to shoplifters at first. The store manager increased his staff of detectives.

Some petty shoplifting was brought to light, but in every case the detectives decided that the culprit wasn't responsible for the large thefts. Security regulations were tightened; employes were watched closely, The store even hired tectives to watch the store detectives. But the big leak wasn't stopped. Finally employes were searched. Anyone with a large parcel was stopped and asked to open the parcel.

The employes often resented this, but the management explained that innocent employes need not worry and the measure only intended to curb one case of dishonesty. Even Mr. Melvin was stopped and his lunch pail opened, but no one suspected it had a false bottom in it. Besides, he was such nice old fellow. Then one night, when Mr.

Melvin reported for work, a detective was waiting for him. He was taken into custody. Where did I make my mistake?" Mr. Melvin asked. "You didn't stop soon enough," said the detective.

"One of your 'customers' returned a watch that didn't run and asked for a refund. We checked the serial number and found that it was one of the items stolen. Always deal in quality products, Mr. Melvin."

Berrien' Springs- Mrs. Russell Regent Tells Aims Heard At Parley Chief aim of the Daughters of Isabella, who have 73 circles in Michigan with a membership of 16,000 women, is to see how much good they can do, not how much money they can bank This was emphasized at the recent state convention of the Daughters, held June 22 and 23 in Bay City, Mrs. Robert Watts told the local St.

Rita circle in her report of the parley, presented at last Thursday's meeting in the lunchroom of St. John's Catholic school. Mrs. Watts is St. Rita's regent.

Main points to strive for, as outlined at the state event, Mrs. Watts said, are to know the organization's by-laws and purpose and to carry out the true meaning of the banner, which stands for friendship and charity. The Daughters, she stated, were advised to pray often for peace and for the President of the United States. "Pray with the feeling that everything depends on God and work as' if everything depends on you," was stressed at the state meeting, Mrs. Watts reported.

Local meetings are being held in the school lunch room until the new clubrooms in the St. John's church basement are completed. The next one will be the annual dinner on Thursday. Aug. 3rd, with Mrs.

Vito Episcopo and her committee in charge. LAMPSHADE LININGS Most lampshades on the market have white linings, and this is the kindest choice you can make for your eyes.
