NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER 2.

Jerry awakened with a drowsy, delicious feeling; a memory of some thing that had happened, exquisite, a song echoing. Like once when 6he was little some one gave her a Kitten, or weens, even when she wasn't thinking about it, she felt a great happiness. She would stop and wonder what made her want to laugh. Oh yes the kit ten. She lay back on the pillow now, watching the golden ferryboats weaving in and out of the slips.

Radiant spring morning. Without even dis turbing herself she could see the bay in a vast undulating glimmer: see the islands and the Berkeley Hills. She often thought: "I ought to turn into a big, decent sort of person, looking at that each morning. But now she took deep, lntoxicat ing breaths, and with lazy, drcamllt eyea watohed a smoke ring curling upwards. Presently she would get up and go paddling Into the kitchen, cook breakfast, bring it on a tray to Marza's bed.

She did this each morning. And she would find out about Saxon Rhodes. ALL about him. There must be a great deal color, beauty, fine, high deeds. In the nineteen years of her life there had been even Earl Brooks, who was so handsome, who had wished to marry Marza and whom a little girl of 12 was wildly Infatuated.

Sho pulled reluctantly from bed, crossed the living room, paused to fling up the windows. Nice room, this lined with George King's books hundreds of them. Quite thought ful of him to have bought this place. And Just In the nick of time. Of course, he hadn't expected to die, So It had proved thoughtful in spite of him.

And they got along well enough she and Marza, on tho rent of tho three other apartments. She went slithering down the hall, stopping in amazement before her mothchr'a open door. Marza was up. Sho was kneeling on the floor pack ing a suitcase. On a chair, very care fully, her sport clothes were laid out.

"Here, come In! Sit on it press hard. It won't close." Jerry sat hard, her knees hunched, her arms wound about her long, childish brown legs. She looked like a dark, gay butterfly resting. "One thing, that's so thrilling about you, Marza," she offered graciously, regarding her mother with whimsical appraisement, "is that you look well asleep. Few people do.

And you're lovelier in tho morning without even a ribbon about you. wnere do we happen to be going?" "Why, to Del Monte. Didn't you hear the plans last night?" Oh I dldn know it us. Is the whole crowd going?" Marza glanced up, an arrested question In her eyes. "Meaning Saxon Rhodes? Yes, he's going.

You're interested?" "Why," said the girl breezily, "cer talnly. I thought him very "But he isn't. He's exceedingly poor. A struggling young architect. He's not half as exciting as Heinle." "Because of the money?" "Exactly." "People with guts don't need money." "They're the very people who do.

Theyve more capacity to enjoy more hungry for life. They can use money imaginatively. The poor In spirit should be poor. Money is use less to them. "But I read a story once of a couple who didn't have a bean and three children.

Thoy had a gorgeous time. It's that thing Corny Stratton wrote 'An American Why, they even went to Europe. Penniless! People with Imagination can live ad ventures. Sunsets and mountain tops don't cost money." "It costs to reach the mountain top." "Is this your subtle way of advls' Ing me to annex Helnie?" "No. But if It came to a choice and you asked my opinion, I'd say Heinle was the safest bet for happiness.

The wife of Saxon Rhodes won't have an easy time, either emo tionally or financially. These young Idealists make veryunsaticfactory husbands. "They have such a mad dream about it all. No ONE. woman can ever fill the bill." Jerry seized on a word.

With half shut eyes she auked, fascinated: "Is Saxon an idealist? With a thrilling dream of women?" Marza held up an orange colored shawl. "I wonder If I should take this?" Then crisply, "Tess Willi is bringing Saxon. So that's that:" An airy laugh. "You think I can't compete with Tess Willi? A washed out blonde!" "Gentlemen prefer them. Besides she has the money a poor ambitious boy needs.

She Fays he's a poet In stone. You see where Tess is driving." A merry shrug and looking with a grin at her clasped hands "The real Tess Willi is ten below zero. Have you considered this?" Jerry laughed and hopped from the suitcase. "What will you have for breakfast Mrs. King?" She stood a moment winding the thin silk nightgown about her vague ffirm.

Sho was1 suddenly quiet, her eyes warm purple fire. "Money safe bets Heinle who wants them?" Huskily, leaning down to Marza Mother, I'm like you. Glve me the rapture!

Oh, those tall, upstanding pines, arching so nobly over the Roman pool, the meadow lake! Beyonl these the distant blue of Monterey's bay. She loved this homely, cupolaed building, squatting so affably with the air of a plain, old woman who remains quiet and simple while a set ting of supreme and thrilling beauty grows up about ner. A long time; ago ten years Jerry had come on her first visit.

Sho remembered it perfectly. Her father's sharp, nervous glances, his Hps pulled together tightly. Marza, just a girl then. In a drooping red milan and some startling red dress that made her a gypsy queen with the flashing astonishment of dark eyes and red, sweet smile. Jerry could imitate yet the exact tone of George King saying to Marza as they entered the room, "Must you even smile at the bellhops?" Other visits were pleasanter.

After George was gone. Like this one to day gay, touched with suspense. She turned just as Saxon alighted, his face tan and happy, etched In Fifty feet distant. Impulsively she raised her fingers to her lips, blew him a swift, taunt ing kiss. He pulled off his hat In startled delight, caught it, all achuckle.

Im pudent, delicious kid that little Jerry King. She turned, flushing, and hurried after Marza. In a hum, In a sweet quivering ex citement, she paused combing her hair to wonder eagerly, "Is this love? Yes yes. Does it come so quickly? Yes yes!" Then she thought happily. "He's better than last night oven tetter than that." Aloud to Marza, "I'll wait for you outside on the veranda." Crimson glow fading in the sky; darkness thronging with still.

Intent business. Night coining on in beauty, In silence, haunting as music. The girl, white, dark eyes dream ing, moving through the shadows. The trees voiced her expectance, her eager, inarticulate yearning. Mur mur of life, bushed insistent, sweet.

She heard it vaguely a thing wild and lovely, urging her on. Suddenly she was very alert lis tening. A couple coming down the path. The girl, a bit theatrical with her loud, cultivated English voice and her trailing brocade wrap. A young girl with reddish blonde hair and a I quick vivacious manner.

"Hurry! she said to the man, 'Horace Hopkins Is like George Washington. Ho doesn't ask, 'Have the guests but 'Is the din ner hour The man, with a shrug, took her arm, hurried her to a machine. Go ing off to dinner the two of them Tess and Saxon. Jerry stood very quiet against a tree. Tess laughed.

As Saxon opened the car she faced him, her face raised. He stooped and gave her a long, rapt kiss. (Copyright, 192S.)

What should as dealer bid with the foregoing hand? Should he bid one no trump or one diamond? This hand is a very close one but, in the opinion of the writer, the one diamond bid is much sounder than one no trump. The reasons for this should be obvious. If A has a big club suit and bids one no trump, A will pass a nd open cl ubs. On the other hand. if bids one diamond, with a big chid suit, will bid two clubs and thus show the danger to the no trump.

If A should pass one diamond, it is up to to better the one diamond bid if his hand justifies it. For example, if bids one diamond, A passes and has the loiiowing hand: Hearts 9, 4,2 Clubs 10,9 Diamonds 9, 6, 4 Spades 10,9 he should bid one no trump. Z's bid of one diamond should indicate that he has a good diamond suit and that as a partnership, hold stoppers in three suits. For that reason a bid of one no trump by with the foregoing hand is a sound bid. The bid of one club or one diamond by dealer doesn't invite a take out by partner unless his hand justifies it.

Such a bid by dealer is informatory only, and his partner must use his judgment as to the take out. Such a take out always is optional and never obligatory; otherwise a bid under such conditions never could give correct information to partner; and information is the goal of all sound bidding. It is only when partners are getting the best bid of twenty six cards, rather than of thirteen, that they are obtaining the best results. Here is another typeof hand that illustrates the value of bi'dding one diamond with Z's hand rather than one no trump. Suppose bids one diamond, A bids two clubs and holds the following hand: Hearts Q.

Example Hand A Hearts 8,6 Clubs 6,5 Diamonds 5 Spades K. I. 4 Some players might bid two diamonds' with this hand but it would be a very bad bid.

has no justifiable bid of his own and no stopper in clubs, so must pass the two club bid. If passes, with the holding indicated in the example hand should double two clubs. Such a double is informatory and tells his partner that he has a much stronger hand than indicated by his original diamond bid, and that he is prepared for a bid of two hearts or two spades by his partner, provided the latter has a four or more card holding in either suit. Y'sbid with the foregoing hand in answer to Z's informatory double of two clubs is two hearts. At this bid, can iust go game, losing only one heart and two club tricks.

On the other hand if had bid one no trump in the example hand, A would not have bid his club suit. Having the opening against the no trump there was no necessity tor me oia ana inus would have had no chance to play the hand at hearts. This preference for the four card suit to the no trump bid is being followed generally by the best players, so the foregoing analysis should be carefully noted. Such bids have been variously termed "Approaching Bids" or "Intro ductory Bids." Either term is descrip tive and indicates the purpose of the bid; that is, to approach or arrive at the best bid of twenty six cards, rather than of thirteen. As a test of some of the principles just discussed, think over what you would do in the following hands, an an alysts of which will be given in the next article: Problem No.

A opened the trey of hearts, played the five, the nine and won the trick with the queen. now led the trey of clubs, A played the nine, the deuce and the four. A now led the queen of clubs which won with the ace in his own hand. How should he play the hand to go game against any defense? Z's plan of play in his hand is to force A to discard and this result can be accomplished only by leading diamonds. At trick four, therefore, should lead the deuce of diamonds and cover whatever diamond A plays.

A's best play is the four of diamonds. plays the seven and allows to win the trick with the ten. B's best play is the ten of hearts which must win with the ace. should now lead the five of diamonds and play the ace in Y's hand. should now lead YUJ WML 9 A A I Problem No.

If the former, Y's clubs are good; if the latter, Z's four of hearts and Y's kins? of clubs are good. In either case, therefore, win all the tricks.
