So

West opens the heart and shifts to a club. As declarer, we see that if we can draw spades without Joss, and lose no diamond trick, and if we then get a 3-2 club break, we need lose only two tricks in ali. we start to draw trumps. We lead Jow to the spade uce and return the eight to the king. West shows out, thereby placing East with the re- maining 3-0. We can, of course, plek up the jock on a finesse but, first, hadn't we better make sure of our four diamond tricks? If dia- monds fail to break, and all of our trumps are gone before we know it,

will be in trouble. Hence, we slop leading trumps, to lead a low diamond to the ace 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.

Surely this sort of suit placing is simplicity itself.

SYNOPSIS:

Seemingly normal, intelligent and attractive Philip Monrell, has married Stella Bergen, a beautiful refugee who is his mother's com panion, morbid side of Philip's are happy, but the erratic, nature develops more and

more. Не

kills Stella's pet secretly

kitten because it is a gift from his friend Ward Andrews, He

becomes ob- sessed with the notion that she and Ward are in love. As head of a steel works he antagonises the men and causes a riot. Then one day almost crazed, he tries to Ward into a steel furnace. Ward confronts him with it and leaves

London,

A few weeks later Stella terrified of Philly, goes to London and joins Ward. Then Philip arranges a diabolical suicide that will look like murder. He grts Ward to his house on a rust and that night when he is found dead, Ward is arrested as his mur derer. He has just been sentenced to death.

Chapter Six

HER HOTEL suite 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 a 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,"

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 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."

a

Stella couldn't believe her. cars. It all sounded so in- 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 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 look like murder because he hated 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- celves. When these people murder they love to confess. Your husband will want to speak to you from beyond the grave. His triumph will not bo final until you know the truth. And that truth may be hidden in the walls of your house."

"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. 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

He exclaimed in triumph," "My child, for the first time in fifty years, this old brain has been of some use. Mr Andrews is saved. You see, your husband ordered M. Durand to keep the diary until next September and then send it to you."

Her eyes were round with hor- ror. Then with sudden decision, she cried out, "Give it to me. "She snatched the book from Durand and sat down to read it.

Now she pulled herself together. "I've got everything planned," she read aloud. "My only fear is about the knite. Shall I have the cour age to run against it? Shall I stay conscious long enough to be able to open the door? It I don't they'll see it was suicide and the whole

Husbands Choose A New Evacuation Committee

Confronted with a no confidence vote at a mass meeting of Hongkong's bachelor-husbands yesterday, the Evacuation Re presentation Committee resigned in a body and was replaced by a new committee.

The Peninsula Hotel Rose Room was crowded for the meeting, which was the outcome of Mr W. V. Taylor's published announcement of his decision to resign from the post of Acting Honorary Secretary. He announced that decision in a letter to the S. C. M. Post on August 20 in which he made certain allegations against the Committee,

At yesterday's meeting he amplified those allegations; which, in the words of the Committce Chairman, Mr. C. E. Terry, carried an accusation of "bad faith" against the Committee and its individual members,

Mr Terry, who presided, roundly denied Mr Taylor's several charges and was supported in his denials 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 leller 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 of the evacuation order and urging its immediate rescission.

Another public meeting will be held next Tuesday when the. result of the interview with the Governor will be announced,
