Good, again! The ace is placed above the row, beginning a row of aces to be placed there as fast as they fall, and the deuce is placed atop of it, for in that row the suits will be built _up_, each in its kind.

In the lower rows the suits are to be built down and crossed, as when I played the red queen on the black king, so that only the top of his crowned head can be seen.

Then I play a red eight on a black nine and a black seven on the red eight.

I am now left most fortunately with five spaces when I deal off my second row of eight,--five spaces into which, it may be, a king or two shall happily fall.
The game usually becomes intense after the third eight cards are played.
By that time a choice must be made.

Shall this black six or the other be played on the red seven?
One must be wise, for either will release important cards.
The game has started so well that it promises to play out too easily--which is one of its tricks.
