A CHORE FOR POOLE .
rENNETB POOLE, looking a
V ruddy and smooth u though
lie had risen from eight hours'
dreamlees slumber, helped blmselt
- largely to ham md eggs and said
' "I'll yaffle this last one, If you're
sure you've finished. 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."

TIPS on
Contract
CLUE IN OVEBCALLS
By Tom O'NeU.
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:

Each aide waa vulnerable and
North and South had a part score of

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.
