IT IB not necessary for a suit
in the dummy to be extra long
and strong to be dangerous, as a
possible means of furnishing the

you hold three cards of the suit

Beatrice spoke kindly, “Do you
like it here, Miss Watson?” How
could she speak unkindly to this
troubled girl?
When Bonnie Watson turned
away from the window there was
something about her that seemed
to say. Look at me. I am not at
all what I seem to be. Even these
surroundings are alien to me—this

side these windews, the dirty snow

it? Don’t you know it?
The girl said, "I’ve been lucky
enough to find a nice room with a
good family.”
•Then you haven’t always lived
here ?”
“Na I came froip the west, and
the south before that We, that
is I, moved around a lot. And Mr.
Farish has been wonderfully kind
and patient with me, and I do ap-
preciate everything."
“And I am glad for this chime a

Miss Perkins was the quintessence
of efficiency, I always half expec -
ed to find myself being swept into
the wastepaper basket.”
The girl nodded and smiled. 'I

business policy. I've never be n

ment was so wanting. That doesn't

a niceness that was not ingratiat-

resentment that came from fright.
Beatrice did not believe that she
could not continue with the typing
until Porter came back. There was
a reason why Bonnie Watson did
not want her, Beatrice, to See her
at her work.
Beatrice said, ’Thank you, no. _
We’D be going soon.” When her then Bonnie Watson Teft the office
eyes fell upon a picture of Mari-
anne on Porter’s desk she said,
“I must replace that old picture
of our daughter with a newer one.
That one was taken when we first
went to California during the
war.*
Now the girl looked dreadfully
ill at ease. "Mr. Farish often
speaks of her. She must be ador-
able."
So that’s it, Beatrice thought.
That’s where we met before—in
California some time during the
war. That means that Porter knew
her long before she became his
secretary.
Beatrice looked at her directly.
"I have a feeling I have seen you
before, Miss Watson."
•’Really?" She shook her dark
head negatively in quick, nervous
little shakes. “No, I’m sure you
are mistaken, Mrs. Farish. I mean
. . . I wish we had, but I don’t
think it ever happened."
A poor actress. You cannot con-
ceal from me the fact that you
know that I know we have met
before.
Bonnie Watson said, “I’ll fix the
shade. The glare is in your eyes.”
An excuse to turn her face away
for a few moments. To turn away
from what?

judge. I will not be unfair to you,
or unjust to Porter, and I will not
let my mind become an instrument
for indignity.

Icast for tomorrow he might give a thought to the innumer-1

aloft, day after day, by kites. And there is the legend of a
Kdrean general of centuries ago who, faced with the problem
of getting his army across a stream, first sent a kite across to
carry a cord, which was used to pull a rope, with which a cable
was drawn over to form the basis of a bridge.
s So perhaps a second thought should be given to the
housewife kite flying record. Of what use is it? Well, you
might be surprised. You may not be surprised right away, but - Herbert John Burgman,

Since the §irl se^ cd loath to

“I am Beatrice Farish. I believe
you’re Miss Watsjn.”
“I thought you must be,” Bon-

voice. “Yes, I am Miss Watson.”
And after she had met Frank
Sanger she said, “Mr. Farish is
not in his office. He’s in the engi-

him there and tell him you're
here.”
“Thank you,” Beatrice said.
In a few minutes Porter came

“You know me—the old tourist,"

There were many critics who said that peace was made

is that the Allies are no longer able to agree among them-1

gr The recent news yields the Information that one of
^the records of achievement tor which there Ls some com-
petition In various-parts of the nation is that of flying a kite
longer than anyone else has done it. There are claimants

The scoffer may toss these reports aside and declare
I -that he, for one, can find something more useful to do than
| flying a kite night and day for 56 hours, or whatever the
record is. But as he turns on the light to finish reading
the paper, he might consider what great things Ben Franklin

The present electoral college systm of choosing a presi-

KSveady been offered to Congress, whereby each state’s elec-
toral vote, instead of going solidly for one candidate, would
be divided up in proportion to the votes received by each
party.
Congressman Frederic R. Coudert, Jr., of New York.
He woirid give each state two electors at

Ohio has not changed the boundaries of its Congressional
districts since 1913, Illinois since 1901. One Ohio district has

^Which grows larger every year, is found In many states. With
J votes for the presidency at stake, legislatures would be tempt-

It was at 6uct a moment that j>or her attitude teetered between
with a sheaf of papers in her

Beatrice drew her coat around
her for warmth. She felt lonely
and cold. But Mr. Ramey believed
that efficiency was sacrificed if
his employees were comfortably
warm at their work. She closed
her eyes, and opened them only
when Porter and Frank Sanger
came in.
“Where’s Bonnie?" Porter asked
anxiously.
“She left with some papers,"
Beatrice told him. I will not
probe, she thought. It is the time
for truth. “She teems a nice girl,
Porter."
“She is," he said. “She's an ex-
ceptionally fine girt”
He went out with them to speak
to his mother, and when Beatrice
was at the wheel he went around
and stood beside the car.
