If West should cover, the heart deuce would provide entry to the closed hand for the cashing of the jack and ten of diamonds, which dummy would discard a spade and a club.

"What the devil's the idea?" he shouted.

"Dulcy Ward's coming- and I want to give everyone on the lake an even chance,' the attendant answered calm- ly.

By this time the naked eye could distinguish a speedboat zig-zagging across the lake at a tremendous rate, Bill Ward, hovering in the back- ground with Mrs Forbes and Angela, saw his madcap sister was driving, and had Gordon Daly's little Sneezy at her side.

The airhorn squawked again and again. A middle-aged man, fishing over the side of his boat, hastily reeled in his line as his companion grab bed

"And Angela," she said, "You're lovely, Thank goodness you're you. B's always had such dreadful taste in girls up to now)"

"You'll take it easy, won't you, Miss Ward?" Mr Forbes sald ner- vously as the party and their lug- goge were being loaded into the boat.

"Don't worry, Mr Forbes-just sit back and relax," replied Dulcy. Dill's Instructions were a threat- ening command. "Drive slowly, do you understand-slowly," he whis- pered. "My future wife, father-In- law, and mother-in-law are in this boat."

"What happened-motor trou- ble?" asked Dulcy.
