Chafterer Almost Gives Up

By Thornton W. Burgess

Who to despair may weakly yield, Perchance will thus his fate have

sealed. -Oi" Mother Nature.

Stuhwing the Hawk is not one o give up easily. No. sir. he is not one to give up easily. He had missed Chatterer the Red Squib rel by a hair. as the saying is. Had he been just a second soon- er he would have had Chatterer in those sharp claws of his. But missing didn't make him give up. No indeed! Nothing like that.

Chatterer was getting more and more worried. He didn't like this game of hide-and-seek and peek-a-boo he was playing with Sfubwing around the trunk of that tree. He was getting tired. The more tired he became the more worried he was. He feared that

'he saw more trouble. Can you

guess what that extra "trouble was? It was coming on a pair of switt wings. It was Mrs. Stub- wing. Now it would be two to one. "it isn't fair." sobbed Chatter- er under his breath. "It isn't fair. I won't have any chance at all. No. sir. I won't have any chance 1 all." Chatterer really was be- ginning to despair

Chatterer was tempted to try to run up the tree and perhaps

where he might find a hole he hole is all i need: Just one little

Jump from it to another tree could get into. "Just one little

hole." he kept saying to himself. It didn't do now to "-" s” on

Once Stubwinl and" Mrs. Stub- wing both struck from the same side." For a couple of seconds there was a great mixup. a great beating of wings and angry crlu, Each blamed the other. For a moment or two they forgot Chat- terer while they scolded each oth- ef- It Save Chatter-er a chance for I quick look around. a better chance than he had had since Btubwing first appeared.

and dummy is entered with the queen of diamonds. The jack of clubs draws East's last trump and south's losing heart. There are now thirteen tricks.

North's suggested line of play is correct. South had to get by three rounds of hearts. without East humping. to make the hand. This

was a risky procedure. North's rnethw rung practically no risk. It leaves less to chance. If the ace- of spades survives. the grand slam is made. WATEIWALE SCHOOL
