Chapter XXVI Susan was filled with apology to

the bottom of her soul and she had a feeling that she ought to tell Wal­lace how she felt. But it seemed too enormous a wrong to apologize for —telling a man that you were about to break your engagement to him just when it had been publicly an­nounced. Especially when the man had been jilted once before, as Lutie said Wallace had been jilted by Eleanor Kendall.

"I don't know wha t to say to you, Wallace," she mourned. "I feel as if I ought to get down on my knees to you and ask you to forgive me—"

"Oh, drivel!" Wallace all bi>t shouted in the crowded street. "All this is drivel! You're engaged to me. You're going to go on being engaged to me!" He had lost all of his poise, his calmness. He went along beside her, his lips moving but making no sound as if he were saying things to himself tha t were best left unspoken.

They were nearing the icy stone steps that led up thto the lobby of the St. Vincent Hotel. As they reached them he took Susan by the arm and steered her into It and across the lobby to the dining room where she and Allen had had tea a few days before.

"I suppose I'm a little stunned by what you've just told me, Susan," Wallace said when they were seated a t a sunny table and he was busy with his fork, "and perhaps I'm not thinking in a straight line, but this doesn't seem to end anything be­tween us. You've cared for me for almost two years and you still do. You must. Two weeks ago you did."

He broke off at that point and did some hard thinking, his brow knot­ted, while he spread butter on the end of a roll. "Who is it. by the way, that you've fallen for?"

Susan shook her head. "It doesn't make any difference who it is, does i t?" she asked. "I'd tell you if it would do any good, but it wouldn't. You couldn't do a thing about. I can't myself."

"You can't what?" "Can't help caring about some­

body tha t isn't you." "You can tell me who it is," he

said, returning in his stubborn way to his questioning of her. "That 's what I want to know."

Suddenly his fork went down upon his plate with a clatter, and he crumpled his napkin down upon the table cloth. "Good heavens, I've arranged to buy that house, too!" he exclaimed. "It's too late now ior

you to act like a little fool, Susan!— I've bought the house."

"I told you not to," said Susan. "I'm not going to live in a house that I won't Uke, with a man that I don't like—that I don't love, Wal­lace. I do like you."

As she spoke she knew that she didn't. She didn't like the narrow, ugly look that had come into his face, and she didn't like to be called a fool by him. She had a strong im­pulse to get up and tell him once and for all that she had come to detest him from the bottom of her soul and then rush out of the din­ing room, leaving him to his abom­inable luncheon.

But she could not do it, even though she realized that it would probably be the one and only way to shake him off forever. The train­ing of a lifetime held in her chair smiling faintly at him from her side of the table.

Something in her heart said: "You must get this over to him now. You must break away from him. Don't weaken. Tell him you're through, and make it stick."

She sat silent, unable to say the unpleasant final things that would have ended everything, her whole nature shrinking from the idea of hurting Wallace any more than she had already hurt him.

The waiter came t ip for the rest of the lunch order and Wallace pushed the menu aside as soon as the man laid it before him. "Bring anything. The dollar lunch will do,"

still like me a great deal and that if I hang on you'll realize it sooner or later. So I'm going to hang on. I'm not going to give you up for an instant."

His own words seemed to buoy him up. When his lunch came he ate it as if he enjoyed it—breast of chicken and beet salad and rasp­berry water ice. And as he ate he became more and more cherful.

"I've stayed away from you too long," he decided, "or else you've heard some gossip or other about me—and it's made you jealous. I s that i t?"

"No." Susan shook her head. "I did hear some gossip about you and Eleanor Kendall, but it didn ' t jnake me jealous."

She took the Ludlow & Ludlow box, with the ring in it, from her lap and laid it on the table cloth with the watch bracelet beside it.

"I wan't to give these back to you, Wallace." She shoved them across the table to him with the tip of one finger.

Wallace picked up the ring box. He held it out to her so that she could see the words Ludlow <fe Lud­low engraved across the cover.

"I suppose you wondered about this box," he said. "I ought to have told you about it—about the ring— the night I gave it to you."

Susan nodded. v"Well, I'll tell you now how I hap­

pened to have it," he said, lifting his chin with an air of determined frankness. "I bought the ring for another girl—for Eleanor Kendall, as a matter of fact—a long time ago when we were engaged. She kept it for a couple of weeks and then she sent it back to me. Broke the en­gagement."

He stopped long enough to pat his mouth with his napkin. "Who told you about Eleanor and me?" he asked. "You were just a young kid when I was going around with her."

"Lutie told me." "I see." He leaned toward her

and his eyes narrowed once more. "And that 's really why you're trying to break our engagement, isn't it? You're sore because I gave you her ring, aren't you?"

He laughed with immense relief as if he had solved the whole thing in his own mind. "You are jealous, aren't you? But, gosh, Susan, what did you expect me to do? Throw away $1,000 worth of jewelry just because a girl had had it in her possession for a few days a long time ago?"

He broke the little cardboard box with his fingers and held out the ring. "Let me take your hand, Honey, and put this back where it belongs," he said, his own masterful self once more.

Susan put her hands in her lap, folding them together. "No, I don't want it."

His shoulders went up in a shrug of pure exasperation. 'Well, then, we'll go down to Sigler's and trade it in on a new ring. Will that suit you?"

"Wallace, I don't want any ring," Susan said emphatically, ring or no ring, you're not going to make a fool of me! I let one girl do

to be found along the Hudson River, and preserve their dignity and charm in spite of years of existence. There were five children in the Nash family, Mary, Lois, Lucinda, William and Henry, and they were a merry lot.

Miss Lois Nash writes: "Dear Duchess, in taking me with you on one of your strolls, I had such a good time, I fairly skipped, for, as an old Buffalonian, how well I re­member the wonder and conven­ience of Van Velsor's, of which you wrote a few weeks ago. How many were the times when my brother

They'll say there must be some good reason why I can't keep any girl in love with me. . . . I couldn't s tand it, Susan. The talk. The gossip."

I t was on the t ip of Susan's tongue to ask him how she was to stand the talk, the gossip, when people found out—as they would find out— that she was wearing Eleanor Ken­dall's ring. But she said nothing and climbed into the taxicab.

He paid the driver in advance for the trip to Center Street and tipped him. "I'll be out to see you soon and we'll settle all this," he said through the frosted window of the door after he had sl'.mmed It. She had a last glimpse of his face, anxious-eyed and rather drawn, as the cab left the curb.

CULBERTSON on CONTRACT by Ely Culbertson

A DANGEROUS PRE-EMPT Every bridge player knows the

value of pre-emptive bids, the ob­jective of which is to prevent op­ponents from getting together at their best contract. No doubt, pre­emptive bids properly used are ex­tremely effective, particularly when based on hands which are of the type which suggests little possibility of defense but strong possibilities on the attack—in other words, hands with a wealth of playing-tricks if a particular suit is trump, but lack­ing in defensive strength if an op­ponent is the declarer. When a player holds a hand of this type, pre-emptive bidding is clearly in­dicated, but it is rarely wise to make a pre-emptive bid above the game limit, as the holder of the West hand below learned to his sorrow when he opened the bidding with five hearts

after the other three players had passed.

The bidding: (Figures after bids refer to numbered explanatory para­graphs.) North East South West Pass Pass Pass 5^<1) Pass 7^(2) Pass Pass Pass

1—West kfterwards explained tha t he was afraid that his vulnerable op­ponents would reach a game in spades; hence, in order to shut out any overctll a t the game level, he bid five.

2—Unfortunately East interpreted the five-heart bid as almost every player would—namely, as a slam in­vitation. Even a t tha t his response was entirely too strong but he evi­dently decided tha t the heart king was a trick and that the spade ace was one; hence that West held eleven tricks in his own hand and thus his two tricks must assure the making of the grand slam.

In the bidding of this hand both East and West are to blame, West for opening with a bid of five hearts when he has other better bids, and East for failing to realize that his partner does not have a hand con­taining eleven tricks. East's bid of seven hearts cannot be sound be­cause West cannot have eleven tricks in his hand and not have at his disposal a better opening bid than a pre-emptive bid of five. •

In actual play the hand was set three tricks although, had West played with a little more care, he might have held the set to one or two.

TOMORROW'S HAND If South is playing a contract of

three notrump, against which West opens the club queen, how should he plan the play of the cards to fulfill his contract?

John was standing in the hall of the house when she walked in at 2 o'clock. I t was the time of after-luncheon naps and the house was silent except for the ticking of the white marble clock. John's hat lay-on the hall table, but he was wear­ing his overcoat, a new dark blue one that Susan never had seen be­fore.

"Where you been for the last two hours?" he asked as she pushed open the vestibule door. "I called here three times trying to reach you. Connie and I were married aw hour ago." I t was like John to toss an important fact to her in just | that off-hand way.

He grinned at her, his nostrils di- | lating as if he were full of some kind of strong excitement. "We're leaving for Omaha tonight, she and I," he said.

"Tonight?" She shook her head and her voice trembled on the word All week long the knowledge that John was going away very soon had clouded the back of her mind. It had been there behind all her thoughts of Allen, her happiness. "Why, I thought it wasn't settled, John. And I thought that even if you did go, it wouldn't be until next Sunday—" She burst into tears.

She felt John's hand on her shoul­der. "Come on, Susie, cheer up," he was saying. "This is a chance in a thousand for me and you've got to be tickled to pieces about it—and you can come out to visit us as soon as we get settled. Buck up and-help me get my clothes packed, will you?"

Susan followed him up the stairs and began to sort his neckties while he ran up into the attic for his trunk. A long time*ago, in this very room, he had written his f'rst sports article, an account of a basketball game for his high school paper. She remembered how he had told her then tha t when he grew up he was going to write for newspapers and how he had kept on saying it to the family, year after year, while they tried to keep him at the study of law, setting his young will against theirs.

"If you want to do a thing badly enough, you'll do it," he had always said to Susan when she complained to him that her father wouldn't let her take a business course or have a year or two at college. "If they won't give you the money get a job/ and earn some for yourself. I l l help you out, too. The trouble with you is that yovugive in to people too easily. You let them run you."
