"Listenl” exclaimed Farmer Brown's boy.

Mother Brown listened. Her face broke into a broad smile. "The Wrens are herei” she exclaimed.

' Tommy was also smiling. "There is no doubt about that," said he. "That is Johnny singing, and, of course, Jenny is around, too. John- ny hasn't the sweetest song, but just the same, it is good to hear. I don't know of any of our feathered neighbors that we would miss more than we would Johnny and Jenny Wren should they tail to return in the spring. There is al- ways something doing when they

"I made one specially for them, but that doesn't mean that they will use it. There is no guessing what they will take it into their little brown heads to do.

If they don't take that house I've put out for them this spring they won't be as smart as I think they are. Instead of a __________.______

round doorway such as all the other houses have this one has a wide narrow doorway. The; should like that."

“Why a wide narrow doorway instead of a round one?" asked Mother Brown. She looked puzzled. Tommy grinned. “It is the housing problem brought up to date," he chuckled. "They use a lot of sticks for a foundation ior their nest and sometimes they have hard work to get a stick in through a round doorway. This wide en- itrance will make it easy to take their sticks in, yet nobody bigger than themselves can get through it. I hope they will like it." "Well, whether they do or not it is good to have them back, and to Judge by the way Johnny is sing- ing I guess they are glad to be back," declared Mother Brown. Other folks were listening to that singing and not so happy about it. Skimmer the Swallow poked his head in through the en- trance to the home in which Mrs. Skimmer was fussing with the white feather lining of their new nest. "They are here," he twit- tered. I-Ie didn't sound altogether happy.

"who are here1 what are you talking about?" asked Mrs. Skim- mer. She sounded impatient.

"Put your head outside and lis- ten. You won't have to ask who are here," Skimmer retorted, and Iiew up on the root oi the house. Mrs. Skimmer sat in the door- way and put her heed out. Some one was singing near by. She couldn't see the singer, but she didn't need to know who it was. "Johnny Wren!" she exclaimed. “So those trouble makers are back! I had hoped they wouldn't come this year. Now I hope they'll take a house in another part of the Old Orchard. I don't want them for near neighbors. They are the worst busybodles I know of. If Johnny Wren is here, of course, Jenny is somewhere around, too.

West opened his top diamond; East won with the ten and con- tinued with the dlsmond queen. (A shift to clubs would have been an excellent idea, but East could not know just what was what. and it appeared that any club tricks West might have could not get away.) Buffing ‘the second trick, South then laid down two top trumps. and, as he expected, found that West had a sure trick in the suit. Seeing no reason to leave West with two trumps, South cashed the heart queen, then laid down the king oi spades. West won, cashed his high trump and exited with a spade. At the end, South had to concede a club trick to West, and thus was clown one for a ZOO-point loss. " Under most circumstances South would have been right to cash his three top trumps, leaving West with

deal South was very wrong! 0b- serve the vast difference if, after leading only two high trumps, South had then knocked out the spade acel West would exit with a spade. but only temporarily! Now South would cash his trump queen. then lead spades until West ruffed in. Ii West declined to ruff a spade, South would throw him in with the trump and force a club return up to the major tenace. I South's actual method of play gave West an easy and safe exit, whereas the suggested method would have locked him in the pro- verbial vice. If South wanted to make doubly sure oi! the end-play, he could ruff another dlamohd be- iore throwing West on lead.

It won‘t do to leave this house un- guarded for a minute."

"Especially after you have laid our eggs," added Skimmer.

Mrs. Skimmer nodded. "I haven't forgotten the time when they had a house very near, much too near ours, and we found our eggs thrown out on the ground. We never could prove who did it, but I never had any doubt about it. I have heard that they don't like to have close neighbors, and that is their way of getting rid of them. Thank goodness there isn't a house very near us. Perhaps they won't bother us. But ‘we will have to keep watch just the same."

Over at another house some dis- tance away Winsomo Bluebird and Mrs. Winsome were saying much the same things. So it was that
