"Absolutely nobody," Barnes cried. "Mr. Barnes." said Llppsky shrilly, "you are a loafer. You sent her In to get your clothes so you should go away and leave me without nothing to hold. I got your number, and by Colly I got hers, I locked her In, and I tell her If she makes a fuss I send for the police. You thought you should find me out.

"Pretending she was a fine lady," said Llppsky, who was growing angry. "Looking at me and my house as "She Called My House a Pigsty." though we was dirt She wouldn't believe you lived here.

His hands clasped behind him, Paul Raxon stood at a window and looked over the sound. Loddon talked, but he did not listen. Raxon saw himself In a few years as the greatest money power in America. ' All his future was carefully planned. He was now engaged en-gaged In mapping out. a. present . He appreciated the power of women politically and knew he must appear as a home-loving man, a man who was notoriously good to his wife and children. chil-dren. Fortunately, all of them were attractive physically. He was Interrupted by Mrs. Raxon. She was a handsome, dark woman who had only Just discovered that while she had been living abroad her husband had become enormously wealthy, she had the sense of a personal per-sonal grievance against him highly developed. de-veloped. He could see she was pre? ired for battle. "I want a suitable allowance for myself and the children," she began. "I want a banking account and my own timousine and chauffeur." She hiid thrown down the gage and waited, i little frightened, for what was coming. com-ing. Paul had always seemed Incomprehensible. Incom-prehensible. She did not understand him now. When he smiled It might be. she supposed, the prelude to some biting sarcasm. ' "Certainly," he said. "A very good idea. Fortunately, Loddon Is here. Talk It over with him. I am very willing that you should take your place In society, I only ask that you will be careful with what people you fill my house. I'm after blgaiue, and If I rise you'll go up with me. Talk It over with Herman." He smiled and walked slowly from the room. And while Marie Raxon was passing n enthralling hour discovering her many needs, and her husband was woiAiering how best to start to beautify beau-tify Bellington's enormous building, some men in Lower Fifth avenue were discussing his ruin. Malet had returned from Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, where he had thrown up his position. Already another laboratory assistant had taken Bradney's place. The two had yielded to Peter Mil-oiun's Mil-oiun's importunities and agreed to remain re-main as his guests. Neeland Barnes had not yet come back from Peekskill. He had gone with tire avowed intention inten-tion of puying Llppsky something off bis account and hurrying back with ome clothes. So that he might escape the ridicule ridi-cule attending a man who reaches his suburban home In full evening dress at midday, Barnes arranged to come to his distasteful abode when It was dusk. He wanted to remove his entire wardrooe from the Llppsky shack and Pay as little of the deferred rent as Possible. 'n Lippsky's front yard, which commanded com-manded a view of his tenant's enhances en-hances and exits, the aggrieved landlord land-lord was trying to bring to maturity depressed looking vegetables. His 'ves glistened when he saw who approached. ap-proached. He dropped his spade and onrried to meet Neeland Barnes. was you expecting a ladyr' he demanded. de-manded. "Rood God, i" Barnes stopped tostantly. Had ld jhost arisen to tonfound hlml rent Neeland fe.-rnes removed his Bilk hat and moppeo Ms brow. "My good ass," i began, "what the devil are you ranting ibout?" "I tell her," Llppsky wv.nt on, unap-peased, unap-peased, "you could go out .b;.yonr fine gentleman s clothes on, and 2 silk hat even, and treat me like dirt I'm a citizen here same as you, "and this is an end of you walking over me with your silk hat and your fifteen dollar shoes. I know the price of them shoes. I tell her to scream all she likes, nobody hears away up here." "You mean to say you've locked a strange woman up In my house?" "It's my house. If you pay the rent, you can go In and get your clothes. If you don't, you stay out" Feverishly Llppsky destroyed whatever what-ever chance of life a row of kohlrabi might have had. Then, when he saw his tenant march toward the shack, he followed. "One of them yellow hairs," he scolded as he trotted by the tall man's side. "A swell lady who said she didn't know how you could live In such a pigsty. She called my house a pigsty. Well, she's been locked up lu a pigsty since it was my dinner time." Suddenly Barnes' powerful hand seized Llppsky. 'If you don't give me the key," he said, "I'll twist your arm out of its socket." Barnes turned the other's wrist a little. "You shall sleep In the Jail for this," Lippsky cried when the key 'was forced from him. , "U will be less verminous than this place. Barnes answered. He put hl3 key In the door and threw It open. He was wholly at a loss to know whom the Invader could be. The noise of the opening awoke her. She was a tall, slim girl with golden hair, In a white knitted sports suit. When she saw him she held out her arms. "Darling daddy!" she cried, throwing throw-ing her arms around his neck. "Nlta," he said, stroking her hair, "how I have longed for you I But, my dear, how Is it you are here?" "I ran away," she confessed. "They said such utterly beastly things about you I couldn't stand It How well you look, daddy. I shall call you my big brother. Nobody will believe you're my father. What makes you stay In such a funny place as this?" Suddenly Sudden-ly 6he caught sight of Llppsky. "Who is that dreadful little creature?" Llppsky spoke up distinctly. "1 own this house, and I've come for the rent If he don't pay, he goes to sleep in the village JalL I guess he don't mind. I guess It ain't for the first time. He ain't got no money. You say he's your father." Llppsky grinned. "Well, you got the chance to save your daddy from Jail." "Dad," she whispered, "I hadn't any Idea it was as bad as this. I've only three dollars left The boat trip took all my savings." "My dear girl," he Bald easily, "the-man "the-man is known widely as the village Idiot. Nobody believes him. It does happen that my rent is due. By th way, how much Is It?" "Ninety dollars eighty cents." "I rather thought it was more," said Barnes. He took out a roll of bills and paid. He was left with seven dollars. His reward came in the relief the girl showed. "It's a fad of mine staying up here," he admitted. "The air is good and I've been In training. I shall leave now. I think we'll go to New York as soon as possible. How lovely you look. You have those unforgettable violet eyes of your mother, but you are taller." The thought that he had nowhere to take her made him miserable, miser-able, but he would not let her see it It was Incomprehensible to him that the countess of Horsham, hl& late wife's eldest sister, had allowed her niece to come. The countess had always al-ways been his enemy. "It came to a point," the girl- said when they were In a New York -bound train, "when I was asked to drop my own name and take my mother's. : Not that I minded being Nlta Fessendon, except that it seemed as though I were publicly ashamed of you. I simply refused. There were awful rows. So I ran away. -I was twenty-one and my own mistress. I sent all the jewels and presents back and started to earn my living." "Nita," he cried, with admiration In his look, "how could you possibly do what I've always failed In?"' "It wasn't easy at first" she' admitted, ad-mitted, "but I stuck It out and made enough money In secretarial work to come out to my own country second cabin. I tried to find you six months ago, but the silly clubs returned all your letters." ' Neeland Barnes colored. "Must have the address," he said? "d d careless otbem. I shall report It" He wondered how she had run him to earth. "When J got to New York i "honf 1 the Knickerbocker. I knew it used' to be your favorite club. I told the secretary, secre-tary, or whoever it was, that I was your daughter and simply had to find you, and they told me to call up later. When I did they said you lived In Peekskill. I spent three hours looking and then that village Idiot locked me in." She did not tell him that naturally she had started her search expecting to find him in one of the better sections sec-tions of the charming Hudson-side city. The Llppsky cottage on the outskirts out-skirts had been a dreadful shock. But the search was over and she was happy. She was very proud of him. Her aunt had drawn the picture of a decrepit vice-ridden physical wreck. Instead he was vigorous, clear-skinned, and agile. "Where are we going, daddy?" she demanded, after she had passed Sing Sing's embattled walls. "I'm staying with Peter Mllman," he answered. "Lady Horsham may have mentioned him." "I remember. His wife ran away and he shut himself up in "his house and went mad." "That Is Just what your nunf would say," he returned. "He did not go mad. He happens to be the best friend I have, and I shall ask him to let you stay the night there. Much better than a stuffy, noisy hotel." "And tomorrow we'll get a cozy little flat I've often wanted to look over the treetops into Central park." (TO BE CONTINUED.) t Br PAUL H.

Original No Trump CiJs (Continued.) r.N CONSIDERING a no trump bid I there are few restrictions which should be mentioned : Frequently a hand will meet all of the requirements of a no trump bid and also contain a five-card suit with ample support for a bid of that suit Either a no trump or a suit bid may be made; which shall It be? All of the rules of Auction have been determined from the mathematical mathemat-ical law of averages by trying a large number of experiments, and It has been found that a good five-card suit bid is much safer than a no trump, especially when the hand contains a worthless doubleton. Therefore, if all bids had equal game-going possibilities possibili-ties the suit always would be chosen, but because of the various counts the no trump has the greatest game-going possibility. It requires but three odd tricks to make game in no trump while four odd are necessary in a major suit and five odd in a minor. Taking these differences into consideration con-sideration it has been found that most hands of the above-mentioned type will produce game oftener at no trump If the long- suit is a minor, but that the chances for game are better bet-ter with the suit as trump if that suit is a major. Therefore, we obtain the simple rule that when holding a hand from which a bid of a suit or of no trump may be made, to bid the sul lf It Is a major but to bid no trump If the strong suit is a minor. Another matter of Importance In a no trump declaration is the distribution distribu-tion of the cards in the various suits. The most favorable' distributions for a no trump bid are 4-3-3-3, 4-4-3-2 and 5-3-3-2; while 5-4-2-2, 5-4-3-1, 5-5-2-1 and 5-4-4-0 are increasingly more dangerous. In other words, two doubletons are very undesirable unless un-less both are protected suits; a singleton single-ton Is decidedly objectionable; and being void of a suit prohibits a no trump bid. The reasons for this are easy to see. If the bidder Is very short of a suit some one at the table Is probably very long in that suit and if the opponents open It and dummy does not have It stopped the opponents are quite sure to take five or six tricks In It before the declarer can get the lead. It Is not wise to abandon a good no trump because of holding a singleton. Ace or King, since even if that suit Is led, the declarer could expect to stop It by taking the first trick. However, How-ever, lf the hand , has a worthless singleton much more heed should b given to It A major worthless singleton single-ton is not nearly so dangerous as a minor, because lf second band holds a powerful major suit he Is quite sure v bid It while he would Invariably pas !vhen holding an equally strong minor V'lt " A hand which contains two suits of at least five cards, either of which Is strong enough for, an original bid. Is called a "two-suiter" and Is considered con-sidered the strongest possible hand at Auction when played with thatfeult for trump which best fits the partner's hand. A no trump should not be bid when holding a two-suiter. We find a slight difference between an original bid by third hand and one by dealer or second hand because be-cause third hand's partner, by passing", has Informed him that he does not bold four'sure tricks. Therefore, third hand should have 2 quick tricks la order to make an original bid of one. When we reach fourth hand this same condition exists, but there Is another reason why fourth hand should bave added strength before making an original bid. After three players have passed, unless fourth hand has an especially strong holding hold-ing the indications are that the cards are very evenly divided, and that fourth hand could not make game, which should be the goal aimed at by every bid. If fourth hand passes,' the band Is not played, but lf he bids, It opens up a new round of bl.Wing and the opponents may start a secondary bid open wh'ch they may be able to help each other sufficiently to go game. Therefore, unless fourth hand has at least one quick trick more than the requirements for an original i bid by dealer or second hand, he should pass and throw down the band. It took a society leader from Boston to teach me Just how gracious a gracious gra-cious lady may sometimes be. For some incredible reason (in our hotel) there was a door leading from her bathroom into the hall, and, equally Incredible, when a husky sweeper mistook mis-took his broom closet and pulled at the bathroom door it came open to admit him to the immediate presence of a society leader enjoying her bath. The sweeper's consternation, pulsating pulsat-ing through the service channels, was registered at the desk In about three minutes. By and by the blue-blooded Bostonl-an, Bostonl-an, marvelously gowned for dinner, as she always was, entered the lobby, and the young men at the desk prayed that she would pass on Into the dining din-ing room.
