West opens the heart aco and shifts to a club. As declarer, we see that if we can draw spades without loss, and lose no diamond trick, and if we then get a 3-2 club break, we need lose only two tricks in all. So We lead we start to draw trumps. low to the spode ace and retum the eight to the king, West shows out, thereby placing East with the TC- maining J-0. We can, of course, pick up the jack on a finesse but, first, hadn't we better mako sure of our four diamond tricks? If dia- monds fall to break, and all of our trumps are gone before we know it, we will be in trouble. Hence, we stop leading trumps, to lead a low diamond to the nce and the six back to the king. East ruffs, but this does not disturb us because, with the bad break of diamonds, we had one loser: anyway. East returns his last spade and, after winning, let us take stock,

that Enst originally held four spades and one diamond. If he held four clubs he could hold only four hearts, and this would pince West with seven hearts. Surely with a seven-card heart sult over-called one West would have
either two or diamond. If East bas three clubs the club suit must break. We deride that East could not have had a singleton club, because he then would have held seven hearts, and he, also would have overcalled with such length. Thus we arrive at the virtual certainty that the club sult will break 3-2. This is valuable working
knowledge. All we need do now la cash the club king and lead a third round not caring which de- fender takes the lead. If East wins, he can return only a heart, which will permit us to ruff in one hand while discarding diamond in the other.
If West wins the third club be can return a diamond or a heart, but both are quite satisfactory to us. A diamond lead will come tip to our Q-10; heert lead will give us the aforesaid ruff and discard,
Surely this sort of sull placing is simplicity Itself.

Disregarding her protests, the man introduced himself. "I am Dr Rameau, Madame, and there's one thing I was unable to find in the news- papers. The truth."
He took out a paper with a picture of Philip in it. "Some months ago, this man escaped from a private asylum near Paris. He was suffering from a private form of insanity which we call paranoia. I am head of that asylum and I am the old fool who let him es- cape."
Stella couldn't believe her It all sounded so in- cars. credible. And yet, this might be the clue which would free Ward.
Now, seeing her interest, the man went on. There had been stupidity and contradic- tion in the case. But he had a evi- theory. Circumstantial dence? Nonsense. That knife? The footprints? All rubbish. Philip Montelt had been' murdered, by his, only enemy-himself. The story of his whole neurotic childhood pointed to it. And so he had created a suicide. that would. look like murder because he haled Ward Andrews and the wife whom he felt he had lost.
Stella's breath was coming fast. "Of course. I see. But how can we ever prove it?"
"We need prove nothing," Rameau assured her. "Philip will prove it for us. This was the kind of mind that wishes credit for the things it con- ceives. When these people. murder they love to confess.

Her eyes begged Stella for -forgiveness. "It is I who am to blame for everything. I should have warned you, Stel- In dear."
But Rameau cut in, impa- tiently, "You will have to help us now, Mrs Monrell. Please think very carefully. When your son was a boy, did he have some secret hiding place where he kept his treas- ures ?"
Mrs Monrell smiled wanly. "He had no secrets from me. Ho told me everything. He even let me read his preci- ous diaries."

At yesterday's meeting he amplified those allegations, which, In the words of the Committee Chairman, Mr C. E. Terry, carried an accusation of “bad faith" agafast the Committee and ite Individual members,
Mr Terry, who presided, roundly denied Mr Taylor's several charges and was supported in his dentals by Mr J. F. MacGregor, Vice-Chairman, but one member of the Committee, Mr J.. Shepherd, supported Mr Taylor's complaint in respect to a letter to the Colonial Secretary, which, it was stated, had not- been shown to all the members before it was sent through the Governor.
Mr R. J. Banks was elected Chairman of the new Committee, with Mr Taylor as Hon. Secretary. The Committee decided to present a letter to the Governor to-day describing the adverse effects of the evacuation order and urging its Immediate rexclusion.
