Jonathan Snow

was ap. prenticed to the baricy-stick curling trade at an early ago, He might have flourished at this, but unfortunately ho do- veloped the pornicious habit of twisting the sticks of barley- sugar to the left, instead of to the right, and was dismissed with ignominy.

Later he altered the vow slight- ly. He vowed he would own up Lo being a parent. This saved him a lot of bother in after years.

Snow experienced a number of vickalludes before his disappear- ance. He was standing iniserably on the waterfront one day when at tail man with a beard approached hirn.

It was on one of his lucky days that he met a dusky malden called- Oolata,

She saw him bounding about and asked, with quiet dignity, "What's the big idea?"

Jonathon was pink with embur- rassment,

"I beg your pardon, blast you!" he said in his rough, scaman-like way.

You're a boundert" exclaimed the maiden.

"Too right I am!" said Jonathan, pounding himself on the chest. "I'm the best bounder on this Island! Watch me!" He then bounded.

"Marvellous!" cried the malden. "But tell me, sallar-must you always land on your face?"

"It saves me shaving," he re- plied, gruffly.

"What glorious big brute you are!" she cried, her eyes shining. "I feel that I could ke you."

"Well," said Jonathan, thought- fully, "If you do I could pouch a nice plate of steak and eggs." Jun- athan had his dull moments.

"I am afraid you don't under- stand me," said the maiden, coyly. Say that again and I'll knock you cold," said Jonathan.

She said it again and he bowled her with a snappy right cross.

They were practically as good as married,

South considered the situation, and then, having "taken a view (a euphemism for being wrongt) that West was leading from the King,

South so, with the Club trick already lost, The he was one down. Naturally, bemoaned his bad luck until North made the following well-chosen re- marks (or something to the same effect): "Bad lock, my fool! Why don't you count up your winners and losers? In this case, Four Hearts' was unbeatable with five Hearts, four Diamonds and the Ace of Clubs, at least. Now I suppose we shall lose the rubber." They did.

Apart from the failure to count up the possibilities of a hand such as this, X belleve that so many playere of South's entibre long to play's hand in the mast dificult or risky way possible instead of in a straightforward manner. I know one very crudile player who is read everything he could lay his hands on and could be really good but for this peculiar failing which he indulgen on every possible occasion, to the grave financial prejudice of his partners-And himself.

"Three No-trumps" by South, and West led the 2 of Spades,

Bouth immediately assumed that with nine Clubs to the A, K, Q. the sult would break for him. He was wrong because there were four to the Knava in one hand against him, and he was one down. The 2 was an illuminating lead as it marked West with only four Spades, unless he was falen-landing, so South could afford to lose three Spades and one Club. Therefore, on getting in with the Ace of Spades on the third round, he should have led a small Club and conceded one trick in the sult. T could still make his contract with six Clubs and the three outside Aces.

It is all so simple-afterwards, when pointed out. North again did the paint. ing out, but South merely remarked that even North was right "ono wouldn't expect the Clubs to le so badly." (Shades of safety-play1) There ts no hope for a player like that, Un- willing to admit a mistake, he refuses gently help oven when kindly and proffered.
