I gather Mrs. . Lodely breakfasts upstairs? ' "She does." Armltage. pushed back from the table and began lux uriously to fill his pipe. "So does her son. At least, be did yester day." "I'm not sure 1 understand Lode lVs type 'enough to understand Lodely," Poole went on. "He cer tainly lost bis wool lust before he went to bis bye-byes, couldn t col' low his line ot temper, Quite." He . paused, before adding very casual " ly "I got tbe Impression yon could, ' though." "Spoken In the -best Poole man ner. 'Ob, Mr. Armltage, what charming boy that secretary ot yours 1st Something so sympa thetic about him.' " He dodged tbe box of matches hurled at him and sobered. "Lodely has cause or, at least, ex cuse to bait me," Farrell admitted , "But I'm beginning to fear he dla- . likes me for tbe wrong reasons. There's nothing more obstructive to progress." "Mind It I ring tor some more toastt" asked Pooie helpfully. "Why not order yourself an omo- - lette as wellT You're got to keep your strength up somehow.' '" "Now why In the world didn't you suggest that Just after the fisbT You're spoilt what might bare been an excellent breakfast" Poole turned bis reproachful gaze from Armltage to 'he opening door and the reproach vanished. "Hnllol say,. Gaffen, yon really are a bit of a thought-reader, aren't you? Toast ,i hot, thin toast a whole rackful . ot fresh toast - borne In upon . thought-wave." ' "We haven't forgotten your break fasts, sir," said the beaming Gaffen. Armltage might get respect, liking, ; Intelligent response from his do ' mestlo staff, but he was amusedly aware that It was Poole distant cousin, private secretary and unof ficial second-in-command who held : their hearts. "We fancied you might , be glad to enjoy a good British breakfast again." "All tbe same, J put on nearly 10 pounds In New York." said Poole. "Mrs. . Lodely, 'sir, has come down," said Gaffen to Armltage. "She la In the drawing room. She .would be (lad ot a moment with -' you at your convenience. As the door closed upon the but ler, Armltage stood op. "By the way, Poole, I forgot to tell you, but Mrs. Lodely Is to be your holiday-task." Poole looked horrified. "Haven't you got mining lnterer t In Vesuvius or Isblng rights round the Pole that I ought to see about Instead?" be asked earnestly. mean, Mrs. Lodely's most Interest : lng and all that, but the only thing we bare In common Is that she went out with the Belvolr hunt one day ' last year and 1 went out with the Belvolr hunt one day last year. And It wasn't even the same day." "Well you'll have to go on dis cussing that lamentable mischance for at least another week," returned Armltage heartlessly. "I'll look tter Mara", but I'd be grateful If you could take the lady off my bands, Do the usual shows with her and so on." , "Bight you are. gov!" Armltage loft the cheerful morn ing room and sought out Mark's mother. . "I hope you cot some sleep?" he asked. - "Slept like a log I always dot" When shs bad laughed, sbe con tlnued: "I bear they'll have done the elevator Job by tomorrow night. Ton don't tell me It's your habit to cut up your bouse to suit everyona who c.mes to slay with you for a lew daysr "I'd been planning to extend the levator shaft for a long time,' evaded Armltage. "As tor this talk of few days, surely you'll give us longer than that? Poole has only Just got haok after a tough month In the States and he's looking for ward to a little tun." ALL STATE WAGES OtYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 14. (ffv Salary cuts In all code departments and state Institutions other than the higher Institutions ot Earning were announoed today by Oovernor Clar ence D. Martin as his first major .eoonomy move. The reductions, trie governor aald. will become effective January IS, and will range from 10 to 35 per cent. , The governor alao revealed the sal ary cut were preliminary to a com plete survey to determine bow many employes In the nine code depart ments could be eliminated. He said he had Instructed department heads to complete the edrvey by February 1, and on that date submit the re stilts ot their findings to the execu ttve oiUoe, Barbara -He seems a nice, cheerful sort ot boy." nodded Mrs. Lodely. "Bit callow, I should say, what?" Hardly," murmured Armltage, struggling with recollections of bis secretary s peculiarly sopnisucatea encounters with life.' "At any rate, It you'll let Poole amuse yon while Mark Is busy, you'U be doing a favor all round. McLougblln, the Watcher cartoonist. Is Interested In Mark al ready; he rang up last night and he'll come round and see blm this evening." "Did he really! Well. It certainly does seem as It Mark was to have his chance at last and I'm sure 1 should be the last to stand In his way his own mother! Only" "Only?", ' , "Only, If you don't mind my say In' so, my dear boy, I don't tor the lite ot me see what you're doln' It all for! After all. It's one thing to give a strugglln' artist a couple of useful Introductions and a week's holiday and quite another to build him an elevator and a studio and put up with blm until he's ready to leave I" , "What about getting Phllhay to look at him?" asked Armltage quiet ly. - "Phllhay? Sir Robert Phllhay, the bonesetter? But I thought he'd retired." Mrs. Lodely looked, for once, startled and Impressed. "He has, . but t's my experience that a man can always be lured out of retirement by a case that's baffled bis colleagues." Mrs. Lodely, smoking fast, stared at the ground. A faint fear shot through Armltage he had not fore seen difficulty with Mark's mother and be felt be would have liked to think out his line ot attack. H said lamely "I gave your aon his telegram last night, but I could not induce him to send any answer." "Telegram?" Her thoughts were elsewhere. Then "Oh, yes. From Barbara." i ' . "Yes." ' ' She looked up sharply, spilling her ash. "Barbara," she repeated. Armltage was tense, waiting. "If you don't mind my sayln' so, my deu- boy" that lame, deadly opening! "you urely aren't think In' In any particular, personal way about Barbara?" ' "It Is true that I hope to persuade Miss Quentln to marry me Instead of your son." "You'U never do that," said Mrs. Lodely. ; She said It casually as casually as sbe dropped her half-smoked olgarette upon the Aubusson carpet and stamped It out with her big, sbabby shoe. "You'll never do that It I have to lay down iy lite to pre vent It You can't understand, but It's a matter of getting Justice tor Mark his marryln' Barbara. And If needs be, I shall tell 'em both why." Into Armltage'a mind flashed the memory of what Leila bad said at South-the-Water. "I may have' ab solutely no right to all this. It may be really Mark's." And Armltage remembered bis own rejoinder "Or Barbara's." Armltage felt anger rising. What cadgers and suckers they were, mother and son! They took and took and took from Barbara; ber young strength was caught In their weakness, her lite tied down under their feet and dark with their shad ows. Anyway, put the notion out ot your mind," Mrs. Lodely told him. "You d get tbe same advice from Sabs, Coo, it you talked to her about It. It you don't mind my puttln' It plainly, she doesn't like you. She told me so." "That certainly doesn't sound hopeful for me." admitted Armltage, equably. , "And now I'm all the more pus iled as to why you're doln' so much for Mark. I sb'd have thought you'd do less, it anythln'l" She peered at blm with sudden suspicion. "Seems to me unnatural that you should wish him well!" Armltage laughed aloud she was so obviously crude In ber emotional life. "I've asked you to stay on here with your son," he pointed out. "It you still don't think he's sate In my house I can't, I'm afraid, convince you otherwise. But Miss Quentln is quite confident that I don't plan to poison his food or throw him down stairs, oven If I do look upon bim as a rival." "You she Mrs. Lodely was actually gaping at him. "Doos that mean you told her you wanted to marry her?" "Certainly, I told her." fCopyHpM. lttt. JuUa CIsft-lcMamsJ FarrtH hit an onsxpsetsd aat.te with Mark, tomorrow.

A bid by an adversary often gives a declarer a tip on bow to make a difficult contract. Indeed, an over call may prompt the declarer to re double successfully. Two outstanding New York women players won a huge rubber by mak ing five diamonds redoubled vulner able after a vulnerable adversary bad bid two no-trump. The offer of no-trump enib'ed the declarer, Mlaa Florence Pltoh, secre tary of the Deschapelles club, to de termine what that adversary bad In one suit. Miss Pltoh had Mrs. Hilda Maude Zontlcln as partner In the following deal: SOU! wrrrf AKQ642. Each aide waa vulnerable and North and South had a part score of 70.

While not quite in accordance with requirement for an original two i bid, MLu Pltvb'e hand wu a pow erful two-aulter with alam po&slbll ltlea of partner should have an aver age hand. West and North passed and East bid two no-trump, a fatal step. Had East passed. Miss Pitch would have made game and rubber with a point total considerably less. Over the two no-trump Miss Pitch bid three diamonds. West stepped In' with an offer of three hearts. North's hand was so weni1 that she dared, not choose between spades and diamonds. She passed. East bid four hearts and Miss Pitch bid ilve diamonds, which sv dou bled on high card strength In other suits. The dealer redoubled. It was a chance-taking redouble, prompted wholly, in view of North's silence, by the two on-trump bid from East. The declarer lost two heart tricks at the start and then took out trumps. She deduced that the two no-trump bid by East over the orig inal two-spade bid could mean noth ing but possession by East of at least four spades to the knave. With trump re-entries In the dum my It was easy to finesse so that all the spades In the declarer's hand took tricks. West and East making only two hearts.
