When the king held the first diam-
ond trick, the declarer led a spade for
a finesse in an effort to establish a sure
ninth trick, but West won with the
queen, and returned the four of diam-
onds. East knew from his partner's se-
quence of play that South had just
two diamonds, and he came up with his
ace, defeating the contract.
At all other tables the three no
trump contract was made, in most cas-
es with one or two extra tricks.

Our pump here at Lazy Meadows
has a wooden handle. This particular
handle was carved out of a piece of dry
wood that I had put up over the gran-
ary . . but that's quite a few years
ago. Two bolts go through the handle
and are supposed to hold it for pump-
ing purposes quite firmly in the met-
al part.
The bolts during the years have
worked loose on occasion and have

South opened the bidding with one
spade, and became the declarer at three
no trump.
West led the ten of hearts. East won
with the queen, and then proceeded to
force out dummy's ace by means of an
entry-killing play known as the Des
chapelles Coup. He led the king of
hearts at the second trick, and when
the declarer held up the ace lie led the
five, and the ace had to go.
East knew he would be sacrificing
a heart trick if his king was covered
with the ace, but Ile was hunting for
bigger game. In refusing to cover,
South hoped that East had only two
hearts, he be as anxious to retain the
ace as East was to remove it,
The king of diamonds was led on
which West followed with the three.
With a solid suit to the king exposed
in dummy, and no sure outside entry,
there is a special form of the echo sig-
nal to guide partner when to play the
lace, if he has it. With either two or
!our cards in the suit, the highest card
is played on the first lead, with three
cards, the lowest is the first play. The
first play will usually give partner the
desired information, but if there is an
opportunity to complete the echo on a
second round, lie will have a certain
count.

Let me tell you I howled.
The stock kept believing around and
I had to turn in to fix the pump handle.

business of having the pump handle
broken is enough in itself but to add
to that the stock were milling around.
I finally found a piece of scantling
that would serve as a temporary handle
and stuck it in the metal clamp and
wrapped some wire around and started
pumping. The whole apparatus slipped
out and I slipped on an icy spot and
