RAGE IN HEAVEN B
We have established that East originally held four spades and one diamond. If he held four clubs he could hold only four hearts, and this would place West with seven hearts. Surely with a seven-card heart muit West would have ever-called one diamond. If East has either two or three club, the club sull must break. We decide that Eust could not have had a singleton club, because he then would havo held seven hearts, and he, also would have overcalled with such length. Thus we arrive at the virtual certainty that the club suit will break 3-2, This in valuable working knowledge. All we need do now la cash the club king and lead a third round not earing which de- fender takes the lead. If East wins, he can return only heart, which will permit us to ruff in
one hand while discarding a diamond in the other. If West wing the third club he can return a diamond or a heart, but both are quite satisfactory to us. A diamond lead will come up to our Q-10: a heart lead wil give us the afarenald ruff and discard.
Surely this sort of suit placing is simplicity itself.

a few weeks later, silently weeping. To- night, Ward would die. To-night, his life would be snuffed out forever.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in," she said, tonelessly.

An elderly man, carrying umbrella, entered. "I have nothing to say," she cried out hysterically.. "If there's anything you want to know, you'll find it in the newspapers."
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."
-We-look-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 ears. It all sounded so in- credible. And
this yet, 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 theory. Circumstantial evi- dence? Nonsense. That knife? The footprints? All rubbish. Philip Monrell 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 Jook like murder because ho hated Ward Andrews and the wife whom he felt he had lost.

The man's words sent Ra- meau into action. He flew up the stairs with Stella after him.
As they burst into Mre Monrell's room, she cried out; "How dared you come in

Swiftly, Rameau began to tell her of his suspicions. Then he said softly, "Mrs Monrell, I knew your son. He said to me once; 'I am going to die like my father. What did your husband die of Ma- dume?"
Now Mrs Munrell was ag- hust. Her face worked. All ahe began to weep. ut once "I think I understand. Yes, I must tell you. You see, when my husband died every- body thought it was an accl- dent, an overdose of sleeping tablets. And so did I until I found his farewell letter." Her voice faltered. "Then I knew that his mind had been going and he had taken his own life. From that moment I lived in dread that Philip would go the same way."
Her eyes begged Stella for forgiveness, "It is I who am "to blame for everything. 1 should have warned you, Stel- la 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?"
