I to submit to fate rather than risl opening the diamond suit, aboui which he knew nothing, or making a trump lead, which might very revealing to the Declarer.

East won this trick and tbes trumped his last spade in tbi Dummy. Three rounds of trumps accounted for all the adverse trumps and now East made tht play upon which his success depended. Refusing to attempt the finesse in clubs, he led the 5 of diamonds. This was a very fine play, which could not lose and might win, the object being to deceive the opponents as to the location of one of the high honors in that suit. South, holding A In the suit, was given an opportunity to draw incorrect inferences as to the Declarer's holding.

The play obviously located the King of clubs in the North hand; otherwise East would play that suit in preference to one in which he lnckd both Ace and Knave. South reasoned that East must hold the King of diamonds and that to play the Ace would be playing the Declarer's game for him. He therefore played a low diamond and the 8 in Dummy was played. When North won this trick with the King, South realized too late the trap Into which he had fallen. North- returned a spade, Bast trumped and led his last diamond, which South won with the Ace and led a club, but it was now too late to save the game as the established Queen of diamonds afforded a discard for East's losing club.

Through permitting an opponent to draw Incorrect inferences as to the location of an important card, the Declarer had made an unmakeable contract. BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES How About It?

The more prudent course would have been to stop at three, as East realized when the Dummy went down after South had led a spade. North won the first spade trick and returned the suit. While it Is not p-enerally considered good play to hasten the opportunity for ruffs by the sliort trump hand.

7. vt 3 ijfjw; Uwmm vv i A new expression came over the Alalus fact. He no longer wore that hunted look nor lunk 'tarfully through the forest. Boldly now he walked erect with fearless mien. For the first time a male Alalus had conducted himself as a bravt man thould, despite a congenital timidity engendered by countless ages of contemptuous treatment and abuse at the hands of the shes.

Probably he never thought of it in this way at all. But Tarzan realized it and knew that the first Alalus she unlucky enough to come upon this youth was going to get the big surprise of her life. During these flays of hunting a great change came over the Alalus youth quite suddenly. His habit had been to sneak through the forest, glancing fearfully about, afraid almost of his own shadow, so great was his dread of the ferocious females of his own kind. All this changed as if by magic.

Slowly he was mastering the bow and spear. Wilh deep interest and a sense of awe and respect, he had watched Tarzan bring down many animals, great and small, for food. Always the male Alalus fled from danger, and for this reason they had become very iwift. No dangerous enemy could overtake them an Alalus man could only be taken by Craft. He could have escaped the boar by flight and for an instant he was on the verge of flight.

But a sudden thought checked him. Back flew his spear hand as the ape-man had taught him and then forward with all the weight of his body behind the cast. The spear struck in front of the left shoulder; and Horta, the boar, dropped in his tracks. And once he had seen the ape-man dispatch Sabor fhe lioness with a single thrust of his great spear when Sabor had caught the ape-man in a clearing too far from the safety of his beloved trees. And then his own day came.

He and Tarzan were hunting when the former disturbed a small herd of wild pigs, bringing down two with his arrows. The others scattered in all directions and one of these, a boar, sighting the Alalus, charged him. The youth was of a mind to flee, for age of inherited instinct prompted him to flight. according to Ralph Carver, representative of the Pacific Coast Merchant Tailors' Association, lifting up the spread, Put a crab in father's bed.
