Peter turned his back on her and hopped out to the edge oi the dear Old Briar-patch. He didn't. want. to argue. Long ago he learn-

that it was useless to argue with Mrii. Peter. He sat there look- ing across the Green Meadows. and wondering it he would find Old Mr. Toad over in Farmer Brown's garden. He was sure that Old Mr. l Toad could settle the question as to 'how those tiny Toads had made such a. sudden appearance. He hap- pened to look down. and there right in (mm. or him, sat. Tiny Toad; the first of all the small Toads to leave the smiling Pool. Tiny Toad wail no small that it didn't seem poeaible he could have come all the way (mm the smiling Pool.

"Plan in what I want to know," ' . replied Peter.

"Well, I didn't get. up in the cloudl. and I didn't rain down," declared Tiny Toad.

"Then how did you get way over here no in irom the Smiling Pool? I auppoae that is where you came irom." aaid Peter.

A small lea! had iailen from a bush. It was 0. very small leaf Tiny Toad apied it. "EXCLIO me." said he. "but I don't like the sun" He crept under the email ieai. He was himaeli so small that that little lea! covered him completely. Had Peter not seen him crawl under it, he wouldn't have suspected there was a Toad anywhere in the neigh- borhood.

”Ii you really want to know how I got here. I got here on my own ieet." said the small voice iiom un- der the leaf.

"Do you mean you hopped over.

here?" ukcd Peter.

"That's what I mean," replied Tiny Toad. He spoke proudly.

Peter drew A long breath. "My. what a hop for such a little icllow as you are." said Peter.

"Don't be silly." replied the small voice under the small leaf. "I didn't do it in one hop. It would be as eilly to think I could get over here in one hop as to think I could rain down irom the clouds. I Just

per."

"Ynii must be." said Peter dryly. "If you hopped all the way irom the Smiling Pool over here to the dear Old Brtar-patch. why has not. somebody seen you?"

"Because." replied Tiny Toad "I've kept. out. of sight until now I've done all my hopping alter dark when there was enough damp- ness in make it possible for me to hop."

tiBut. what did you do in the day- time?" Peter wanted to know.

"Just what I'm doing now." re- plied the email email leai.

"Oh." said Peter lameiy. "I slip- pose all your brothers and sisters have been traveling in the same way." He began to understand what had happened. If it lot or those little Toads had left the Smiling Pool together. and had hidden under leaves and sticks and pieces of bark and chips while it was dry. then all had started on together when the ran tell. it would seem as if they had raincd down.

West. deserved credit ior not. opening the heart ace and making the slain a iaydown - he chose the spade queen. Dummy ducked and South won with the king.

Conducting the play as well an posaible, south cashed the club ace and riiiied away the club six, drew two rounds oi trumps. eiiriiiig up in dummy. and then led a heart to his own king.

It can be seen at ii glance that ii West had taken this trick he would have been ”cnd-played" oii Lhe spot. A spade return would go up to Soullrs trniicc; a heart re- turn would let South rim oii three iicart trickii, discarding a spade irom the board; ;and a club return would give south a ruii-aiid-dis- card. . West, howcver. was loo experienc- ed a player to ion into ihisti-ap. He gave thought to South's distribut- ion. South had had one club and only live trumps. Certainly, he could not hold live spades without having mentioned the suit. and so he had at least three hearts. Thus, there was no danger in holding up the heart ace, but there was acute danger in winning either this trick or the next heart. lend! East's play oi the spade deuce on the opening lead had denied tsolh the king and the ten and East might also be notably weak in the heart suit.

so West duckcd this present heal-t. trick, and ducked again when South re-eritcrecl dummy and led another heart. to the queen. Nnw declai-er was through. 11: mod tor a heart. hrrak by loading a l.l1iI'(1 round, but. West won and led back the high heart. and south was leit high and dry with ii spade loser. my
